Meet Melissa C Alford, Broker | REALTOR® | Transaction Coordinator
Melissa brings a rare blend of heart, industry knowledge, and lived experience to her work as both a Real Estate Broker and Transaction Coordinator at Guided Path Realty. Her strong foundation in property management, combined with a life rooted in service and resilience, allows her to guide clients with both practical expertise and genuine care.
Melissa’s real estate journey began with nearly a decade managing residential communities across Texas and North Carolina’s Triangle area. This hands-on experience gave her deep insight into property operations, market trends, and what people truly need in a home. It also shaped her solutions-first approach—one that continues to serve her clients well, especially those transitioning from renting to homeownership.
Following her time in property management, Melissa took a step back from her career to homeschool her son with autism. This chapter deepened her capacity for patience, adaptability, and advocacy—qualities that now define her approach to real estate. She brings a calm, client-focused presence to every interaction, ensuring her clients feel informed, empowered, and supported at every stage of the process.

Whether you're purchasing your first home, relocating to the Triangle, or searching for the perfect rental, she offers honest communication, local market knowledge, and steady guidance that helps simplify even the most complex transactions. Clients consistently describe her as approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in their success.
In her role behind the scenes as a Transaction Coordinator, Melissa supports her Guided Path Realty team by managing contracts, timelines, and communication—ensuring each transaction moves smoothly from offer to close. Her eye for detail, organizational skills, and commitment to client care make her a trusted resource for both her colleagues and the clients they serve.
Having called North Carolina home for over 20 years, Melissa enjoys exploring the state’s diverse communities, local culture, and hidden gems with her family. She believes real estate is more than just buying or selling—it’s about relationships, trust, and helping people navigate their real estate journey.
