Melissa Barnes brings heart, integrity, and a sense of calm to every real estate journey. Raised along the coasts of North Carolina and Florida and now proudly rooted in Central Virginia, Melissa blends her warm, approachable nature with a sharp eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the places people call home.

Her passion for real estate began in childhood, inspired by her mother’s career in the industry. From helping with staging to organizing paperwork, Melissa witnessed early on how real estate is about more than just property—it’s about people, purpose, and life’s most meaningful transitions.

With a background in healthcare and hospitality, Melissa is known for her thoughtful communication, reliability, and natural ability to make others feel at ease. Whether guiding first-time buyers or marketing farmland and estate properties, she brings a steady hand and a caring heart to every step of the process.

Melissa lives in Lake Monticello with her husband, their two sons, and their beloved dog, Rocky. Together, they enjoy the lifestyle the area offers—from fishing and kayaking to golf and tennis, and visits to their favorite local spot, Bunker Bistro. Being part of a vibrant, close-knit community isn’t just where Melissa lives—it’s what inspires her to serve others with dedication and pride.

Now serving the Lake Monticello and greater Charlottesville areas with McLean Faulconer Inc., Melissa is passionate about helping clients find not just a house, but a home—and not just land, but a legacy.
