I received my Associate of Arts degree from the College of Lake County and completed my Broker's license from Inland Real Estate School. My determination to help others and passion for success is what lead me to the Real Estate Industry. This mentality would have contributed to me being named Rookie of the Year my very first year in the business. Shortly after I was acknowledged by an appointment as the Ambassador for the Cultural Committee on the Agent Leadership Council with the inital brokerage company I worked for. I am the Chief Executive Officer and founder of The Melissa Walsh Group. Building a multi million dollar company, my current focus is on expanding my team with a FAMILY FIRST dynamic. This includes my mother, whose own background emigrating from Mexico helps her to serve niche clients, including first generation and Spanish speaking home buyers/sellers. My goal is to service as many families, in all neighboring counties including Kendall, Kane, DuPage, Lake, Will, and Cook. My motto is making families' dreams come true while living out my own.
