Melody O'Leary
Real Estate Agent (Salesperson)
Ventura - CA

Melody is a dedicated real estate professional with deep roots in the picturesque coastal community of Ventura, where she has lived her entire life. Although she has explored various parts of the world, her heart remains firmly anchored in Ventura, a town she appreciates for its friendly and genuine residents—qualities she embodies herself.

Married to local dentist Alex, Melody is a proud mother of four adult children. Together, they share a passion for purchasing, renovating, and reselling homes. Her keen interest in interior design not only brings her personal joy but also serves as a valuable resource for her clients, allowing them to enhance their home’s value without the need for professional staging services. In her leisure time, she enjoys gardening, hunting for unique finds at flea markets, and camping in her vintage Airstream trailer, affectionately named "Kitty."

With over 19 years of experience in the real estate sector, Melody began her career at Coldwell Banker, where she spent 13 years before joining Berkshire Hathaway in February 2013. She takes pride in being part of Berkshire Hathaway, renowned for its sophisticated branding, cutting-edge marketing innovations, and its status as the residential brokerage with the highest average sales price in the United States.

Melody excels in representing both buyers and sellers, leveraging her strong negotiation skills and comprehensive market knowledge to secure the best possible outcomes for her clients. She specializes in residential and residential income properties, always taking a hands-on approach to client interactions. Many of her relationships evolve from professional connections to lasting friendships, and she is proud that a significant portion of her business stems from referrals from satisfied clients, friends, and family.

Her accolades include the 2018 Chairman's Circle Platinum Award, recognizing her as one of the top 1% of Berkshire Hathaway agents nationally, as well as multiple Chairman’s Circle Gold Awards from 2014 to 2017, placing her in the top 2% of agents. She was also recognized as the Top Agent in the Ventura Berkshire Hathaway office in 2014 and received the President’s Circle Award for top sales at Coldwell Banker from 2005 to 2012. Additionally, she was honored as the Good Rotarian of the Year in 2014 and is a Rotary-Paul Harris Fellow.

Melody is an active member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the California Association of Realtors (CAR), the Ventura East Rotary Club, and the Ventura Botanical Gardens. She has also held leadership positions in various community organizations, including the National Charity League Juniors, Mound School Site Council, Channel Islands Waterfront Homeowners Association, and served as an advisor for the Ventura High School Interact Club.
