Melanie Gordon
Associate Broker/REALTOR®
Since earning my real estate license in 2016, I’ve built my business around three things: educating people, building genuine relationships, and helping my clients feel confident in their decisions.
Before real estate, I spent 14 years as a hairstylist and 5 years teaching cosmetology. Teaching taught me how to communicate with all kinds of personalities, understand different learning styles, and explain complicated things in a way that makes sense. I brought those skills into real estate, where I believe an educated client is an empowered client.
I’m proud to have been named the 2023 Distinguished Associate of the Year, along with receiving numerous brokerage awards for volume and character. I’ve also been honored with the Rising Star Award, Big Heart Award, multiple Helping Hand Awards, and various volume awards.
Professional leadership is also important to me. I’ve served two terms on the Sunflower Association of REALTORS® Board of Directors and have been involved with RPAC, YPN, Community Relations, Risk Management, Grievance, and Professional Standards. I’ve also chaired both Community Relations and Professional Standards.
Giving back is a huge part of who I am. Since 2017, I’ve served as a chairperson with the Community Blood Center, organizing blood drives and helping encourage others to donate. I also volunteer with Junior Achievement in our local schools.
I’m a Topeka native, mom of three, community volunteer, educator, and people person. I genuinely enjoy meeting people, learning their stories, and understanding different personalities. That ability to connect, communicate, listen, and adapt is one of the most valuable tools I bring to the table.
Most importantly, I don’t want my relationship with a client to end at closing. I want to be your real estate resource for life: the person you call years later with a question, the person you trust with your friends and family, and the person you know will always have your back.
I don’t measure success solely by transactions or awards. I measure it by the relationships I build, the people I help, and the trust I earn along the way.
