Melissa Lynch

About

Born in the Bay Area, Melissa was grounded in the community life of Morgan Hill. Her home

environment was a dynamic intersection of creativity, knowledge and skill, as her father – an

architect, custom home builder and broker – immersed her in all aspects of real estate from a

tender age. Her mother – a naturally gifted designer with an inherent understanding of beauty

and symmetry – has always been her constant and closest companion.

Melissa graduated from local schools, UC Santa Cruz (BA with double major in Literature and

Art), and Santa Clara University (MAs in Theology and Education). She worked as a high

school English and Social Science teacher for 16 years, where and when she wrote bountiful

curriculum units for the humanities. This immense body of work includes extensive English

Language Arts units on exposition and argument writing, wherein logic and writing, as symbiotic

cognitive tools, are central processes for thinking and human development. She also wrote social

science units for history and economics. The interplay between these subjects inspired human

interest units, such as The Orphan Trains, as well as 20th-century Medical Advancements and

their Effect on Life Expectancy. Her curricular units are still used in both comprehensive and

private high schools throughout Santa Clara County and beyond.

Melissa’s primary objective in education was a heartened focus on human-centeredness and

interconnectedness. Her pedagogical approach includes relationship building and meaning

making, alongside problem-solving, critical thinking, and close reading. The relationships she

cultivated with her students, and the skill sets she imparted to them, applies to her clients, and

her practice in real estate.

As a licensed broker, Melissa has the required knowledge, expertise and credentials to legally

process transactions. As a person, Melissa has a heart of service, dedication, and resourcefulness

to gently guide her clients through this ever-changing terrain. Take your real estate journey with
