"I love to help people and I love to look at houses. Since I'm a frugal
person, I especially like working at The Buyer's Agent where I can help my
clients find their home and help them save some money in the process."
Growing up on a small farm in Burnsville, NC, I was fortunate to have a
family that taught me a strong work ethic. If you are going to do
something–give it 110% and give the task at hand your full attention. I
believe in that same philosophy today. I listen to my clients and am
committed to finding my clients the property they are searching for.
Finding the right home is usually the most important financial decision of
a person’s life; and helping my clients find that home is a responsibility
I take seriously. My job is to educate my clients on all aspects of
purchasing a home and helping reduce the stress and anxiety often
associated with a home purchase. My passion for my work was recognized by
being named "Rookie of the Year" and receiving the "Client Service Award"
during my first two years in real estate.
I have lived in Florida, Washington DC, Maryland, and Charlotte, North
Carolina. But no place is as wonderful as the beautiful mountains of
Western North Carolina. After serving in the United States Navy for four
years, my husband and I decided to settle in the Asheville area. I
attended nursing school and worked at a local hospital and nursing homes
for several years before changing careers and becoming a real estate
agent. I’ve always been exposed to the residential building industry. My
father was a vocational teacher and he and his students built several
homes in Yancey County. I always tagged along to help out in the summer.
Over the years, my husband and I have built a few homes together and
understand the hard-work and anxiety that comes with building a home.
My husband is a captain on the Asheville Police Department where he
strives to keep Asheville a wonderful place to live and raise a family. We
live in Weaverville with our two boys. My children attend the North
Buncombe schools. I enjoy all the outdoor activities the area offers. You
can find me playing basketball or tennis with my family or fishing for
trout in one of the local rivers. I’m an avid walker--walking 4-5 miles a
day in my neighborhood or hiking one of the local trails.
I look forward to helping you find your dream home here in the beautiful
mountains of Western North Carolina!

Testimonials from past clients:
Melinda's warm southern charm, experience and knowledge of Asheville
really won us over. We felt very comfortable with her and trusted that
she cared about helping us find the home of our dreams.
Beth Chepke & Tim Cimperman
Thank you Melinda Splain, our Buyer’s Agent, for making the journey fun
instead of tense, uncomplicated instead of daunting. And especially for
never giving up on us to find that very special place we call home.
Peter Lee and Virginia Martin
We have moved 4 times in the last 10 years and realtors we have dealt with
(in various states) talk about service, but Melinda Splain and Judy
Cattanach actually deliver it--in spades. We were truly impressed with
the level of excellent service we received. At every step of the way
Melinda and Judy were there, with insight and wise council, with energy
and warmth, consistent and timely follow-through, helping us to make the
right choices. The Buyer's Agent is now the “gold standard” as far as we
are concerned.
When Melinda met us at the home for one last time before making an offer,
she had done her homework. Because of her knowledge about comps in the
area and home values, she was able to negotiate an extremely good price
for us.
It is rare to find people who are so good at what they do that you want to
keep doing business with them over and over. We cannot adequately express
how wonderful and competent Melinda and Judy were in bringing the
transaction to a close. Thank you Melinda, Judy, and The Buyer's Agent.
