About Melissa
For professional expertise combined with a genuine, personal touch, I’m Melissa Matey, your trusted real estate partner in the Albany Capital Region. I’ve built my career on one core belief that a home is more than a transaction, it’s the center of your life and every situation is unique. Since 1997, I've had the privilege of guiding over 640 individuals and families through their real estate journeys with a career volume of over $125,400,000. Consistently ranked among the top agents at Miranda Real Estate Group, I am a proud member of MRG’s President’s Club and have earned the Women’s Council of Realtors Top Sales Performance award across multiple years.
Clients say I’m approachable, detail-oriented, and tireless in my advocacy. I’m proud that their experiences show in the numbers with 100 online reviews all reflecting top ratings and stories of smooth moves, quick responses, and hands-on support. Helping sellers maximize their returns and buyers find the home of their dreams is my passion. I’m known for listening first so I can understand your why before mapping out the how. Providing clear, honest communication, so you’re never left wondering what comes next; and creative strategies that showcase your home’s best features or help you win in a competitive market.
Many clients come to me because they’re juggling life changes such as a new job, family growth, itching for a fresh start or need help navigating moves across the country. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, upsizing, downsizing, or
investing, I strive to make real estate relatable and empowering and understand the stress and excitement that comes with moving.
My roots are in Woodbury, CT, but the Capital Region is home. If you want an agent who’s got your back and who has the reviews and results to prove it I’d love to make your real estate journey a little less daunting and a lot more rewarding. I’m also an avid foodie, always trying new recipes, gardener, traveler,
animal lover and massive fan of Trader Joe’s. Let’s make your next move your best one yet!
I Love My Clients
