Melanie Hathaway Dye
Real Estate Agent (Salesperson)
Vacaville - CA

With a career in real estate that began in 1984, this professional first served as a Listing Secretary at Cornish & Carey Realtor in Los Altos, California, eventually advancing to the role of Office Manager. She later returned to Cornish & Carey to work in their Relocation Division, where she focused on securing Corporate Executive Transfer business.

In the late 1980s, she joined an investment firm specializing in 1031 exchanges, limited partnerships, and commercial property management. By 1990, while working at McComas Properties in Half Moon Bay, she took on the dual roles of Office Manager and Executive Assistant to Mr. McComas. This position involved overseeing the development of speculative homes in the Ocean Colony golf course community and other high-end residential projects, along with managing office operations and insurance administration.

She obtained her Real Estate License in 1990. After relocating to Vacaville in 1992, she joined Century 21 Creekside as a Transaction Coordinator. She later transitioned to PROgressive Real Estate, where she continued in a similar capacity while also serving as Office Manager. During this time, she successfully facilitated 100 to 150 transactions annually for the agents in those offices.

Her personal experiences in country living have enriched her professional expertise. She and her husband leased 80 acres in Portola Valley from Stanford University, where they boarded horses and hosted events. After initially renting horse property upon moving to Vacaville, they purchased a small "ranchette" in Winters in 1994.

In 1997, she shifted from an administrative role to a sales position and has remained in real estate sales ever since. While she specializes in country properties, her passion for residential sales encompasses all aspects of the market. Today, her business thrives primarily on referrals and repeat clients, reflecting her commitment to exceptional service and client satisfaction.
