Whether you're falling in love with DFW or ready to leave Texas for your next chapter, moving can feel overwhelming — especially when you don't know what to expect. That's why I'm here: to take you from overwhelmed to exactly where you want to be, even if you don't know where to start.
what's going on in the real estate world
Moving on to your next adventure should be easy
Buying a home isn't what they show you on HGTV
I'm a licensed Texas REALTOR® with Orchard Brokerage — a consistent top producer with 10+ years licensed and 30+ years calling DFW home. I serve Dallas, Fort Worth, Highland Village, Flower Mound, Lewisville, Corinth, Argyle, Denton, Frisco, McKinney, Plano, Southlake, Colleyville, and the greater Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex — the same suburbs I've lived in myself. Originally from Northwest England, I crossed an ocean and started over in North Texas, living in Coppell, Arlington, Denton, Aubrey, and now Highland Village along the way. When I say I know relocation, I mean I've lived it.
Whether you're buying your first home in Lewisville, building new construction in Frisco or McKinney, searching for the right school district in Flower Mound, or selling your Dallas home to start a new chapter out of state — I have the strategy, programs, and systems to make it as stress-free as possible. I work with Orchard's Move First program, which lets you buy your next home before you sell, no contingencies, no juggling two homes. Prefer a guaranteed cash offer? I'll walk you through real numbers with zero pressure.
I'm a LGBTQ+ ally and member of the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance and NAGLREP, and the founder of Local Liberal — a national directory of progressive, values-aligned businesses. Clients seek me out because they never have to guess where I stand. I serve every client under the Fair Housing Act and the REALTOR® Code of Ethics — every person, every family, every story gets the same honest guidance, sharp negotiation, and steady communication from first call to closing.
“Melissa Adams is truly the finest realtor I have worked with. We were not in the state where we built our home and so we really relied on her. She didn’t disappoint and was always there for any questions we had or any help we needed!.”
-Fern Dillman
“We were first-time homebuyers with zero knowledge of the process. Melissa not only listened to our wants and desires, she helped us through the entire process.”
- The Masedas
"We couldn’t have been happier with our buying experience.
Melissa worked very hard to secure the home we wanted and ensure we got the best deal possible. She organized everything throughout the entire process and stayed in constant communication even while we were 1500 miles away from Texas. I highly recommend her to anyone in the market for a new home."
- Steven S.
“I can’t say enough for what Melissa did for us. My house failed to sell with a previous realtor. Melissa was referred to me when I was contemplating renting instead of selling, as my previous realtor gave me no hope my home would sell. Melissa stepped in and within the first weekend of being listed she sold our home! She was detail oriented, super knowledgeable answering all my questions, and gained my trust for a lifetime! Oh, and she did all that while I was already living out of state. If you’re looking for a realtor, Melissa is the one!”
- Leticia Sanchez
“Melissa was just the Realtor we needed to get our house sold, and for a price we were thrilled with! She was with us every step of the way.”
