Melissa Merchant

Melissa Merchant began her real estate journey in 2012, quickly discovering that real estate was the perfect intersection of her strengths: people, marketing, problem-solving, and adaptability. With a background in advertising and management, Melissa approaches each listing with intention—tailoring strategies to highlight every property’s unique potential. She thrives on the challenges each transaction brings, always seeking creative solutions and uncovering hidden opportunities.
 
As the founder of Merchant Home Group, Melissa brings together a team of diverse professionals to collaborate, grow, and deliver standout results for clients. Whether it’s helping first-time homebuyers, guiding investors, coordinating new construction, or navigating luxury and estate properties, her leadership and market insight set the tone. 
 
Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, Melissa moved to Sioux Falls in 2012. Outside of real estate, she’s raising two awesome kids, Molly and Dylan, and a golden doodle named Nellie. You’ll find her on the trails, catching live music or a theater show, enjoying a round of golf, or showing up at networking events. She’s a podcast enthusiast and a passionate NFL follower.
 
Quote I live by: “Discipline is the bridge between who you are and who you want to become.”

Melissa, Shana, and the entire team at Merchant Home Group have been nothing short of amazing to work with. During our home-selling process, we have been so grateful to have Melissa there every step of the way. On top of her industry knowledge, great communication, and excellent marketing skills, she really does go that extra mile to ensure you are taken care of as a client and will be there to advocate for you when necessary. Let’s be honest, selling or buying a home is a stressful process, no matter how streamlined things are, so it’s important to have a trustworthy team by your side. A true real estate professional, you will not regret a single moment choosing Melissa as your realtor. Her prep work, insight, and attention to detail are second to none. There’s truly no one better. I would work with her again and again.

My husband and I are so glad we were put in contact with Melissa! Melissa helped us through every step, late-night calls to work around our family’s schedule, and was so patient and attentive with all our questions and concerns! She always had a positive attitude and was so encouraging through the whole process! We would not have our dream home without her or her team. We are forever grateful!

My experience with Melissa this summer has been nothing short of amazing. She helped my brother and his new family sell their starter home and move into a home with more space to grow. From beginning to end, Melissa was outstanding. She is an excellent communicator, always keeping us informed and one step ahead throughout the selling and purchasing process. Her marketing skills are top-notch, and she brings a sense of radical hospitality to everything she does. Melissa is both compassionate and caring, yet fearless, aggressive, and honest when it comes to getting the job done. If you are looking for a Realtor who will truly advocate for you while also making the process enjoyable, look no further—Melissa Merchant is your girl.

I sold my house and bought a new house, and Melissa has been exceptional in this whole process for me! She advocated for me on every detail, from confirming my new upgrades were completed on time and an extra eye on each walkthrough of the home for quick repairs and fixes. Her outstanding expertise on the home market was what I needed for these two closings. Highly recommend!
