We had the good fortune of connecting with Melissa Garvey and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Melissa, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I have an accounting background so I have always felt comfortable with routine and low-risk. I quickly learned in real estate that you the pro’s outweigh the cons of not taking the risk, as long as they are calculated.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am a real estate agent at Compass Park Cities. I consider myself one of the lucky ones to have been born in Dallas and especially to be raised in Texas. As far as I can remember, Dallas has always been a thriving, competitive and booming city. Its been a blessing to see this city grow into what it is today. I started my career as an accountant for a commercial real estate investment firm. I have a background in real estate, as I witnessed my family members grow their own wealth through real estate. I have a desire every day to help my clients reach their real estate goals, whether is is purchasing their own personal home or an investment property.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend was in the city, I would make sure to take them to Northpark Mall. I know it sounds silly, but it is a true shopping staple in Dallas. We would stop at LDU for coffee, or the new LaLa Land at Preston and Royal. We would stop at Sadelle’s at Highland Park Village for a late lunch and then Park House for Dinner or Honor Bar. If they have kids, I would take them for a trip to the Perot Museum, for sure!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to give a special thank you to my parents for their continued support throughout the years. With love and support, anything is possible.
