About Melissa Blaine, SFR

I started my career in real estate with the Tomlinson group in 2003 and have since sold a total of over 60 million dollars in real estate. I chose Coldwell Banker Tomlinson because they are the largest and most successful real estate company in the Spokane area. They are very involved in the community and heavily support events such as First Night Spokane, Coats 4 Kids, Spokane Valley Community Center, Boy Scouts of America, 4th of July in the Park, and many other events and organizations. They have an excellent training program and extensive continuing education to keep me current on all of the latest changes in real estate law and ethics. The partners of Tomlinson Real Estate Group are also one of the largest land development companies in the area which creates many local jobs. Tomlinson is a reputable local company over 70 years old with the power of the nation's largest real estate company Coldwell Banker! 

A real estate transaction is a big moment in your life and I am happy to do what I can to make that a wonderful experience for everyone involved. It is most likely the largest investment you will ever make, you definitely need an agent with experience, education, and professionalism to help you! Please contact me with any of your real estate needs whether it be your first home, rental property, or just something different - I am ready to work for you! I look forward to meeting you. 
Born and raised in Montana, I moved to Spokane in 2001. Being raised in a military family, I spent several years in southern California and Oklahoma City before moving back to the Northwest. I chose Spokane for my new home because it had the outdoor amenities I loved and a more stable economy than some of the smaller surrounding areas. 

Prior to real estate, I had a career as a paralegal for various litigation firms both in Spokane and Oklahoma City. I hold a paralegal degree (AAS) and graduated summa cum laude from Corban College with a Bachelors of Science in Business Management and Communications.  I am an active real estate investor. I strongly believe in the strength of real estate investing and its ability to secure long term weath. I own just over two dozen different rental properties (encompassing over 70 units) and actively manage and renovate those properties. 

Outside of real estate, I am involved with, volunteer and finacially support various charitable organizations including Cup of Cool Water (a homeless youth outreach), LifeCenter church, Catholic Charities of Spokane, Bite out of Hunger program, World Vision, the YWCA of Spokane, the Children's Clubhouse at Providence Health, Lutheran Services URM Foster program, Safety Net, Beyond Pink, Coats for Kids, and other local and national organizations.  

We are all passionate about different issues that make us who we are as people and inspire what we do!  I look forward to working with you and getting to know about how I can make your dreams a reality.
