Find your dream home

Welcome to Your Agent Mel's site!  Let the journey begin.

I’m Melissa Lenertz, a REALTOR® and GRI with Coldwell Banker Vanguard Realty. I help people buy and sell homes across Northeast Florida: St. Johns, Duval, Clay, Flagler, Nassau and Baker counties. I grew up in Jacksonville and St. Augustine, and I’ve lived in Orange Park, Arlington, Mandarin, Baymeadows and Fruit Cove. When I talk about a neighborhood, I’m usually talking about a place I’ve called home.

Who I help:

• Military families on PCS orders. As a Military Relocation Professional, I know the timelines around NAS Jacksonville and NS Mayport, and I’m comfortable working with VA loans and remote buyers.
• First-time buyers. I spent years as a teacher before real estate, so I explain every step in plain language and at your pace.
• Sellers. You get honest pricing advice, a clear plan, and updates without having to ask for them.
• Experienced buyers. You already know how buying works. What you need is someone who moves fast, knows the local market, and keeps the deal on track. I’ll send you the right homes quickly, give you a straight read on value, and handle the details so you don’t have to.
• Investors. I help investors find rentals and investment properties across Northeast Florida. I can give you local insight on rent demand, neighborhood trends and resale potential, and I’m happy to help with your next purchase or sale.

Why clients choose me:
I answer my phone. I treat every client with respect, whatever their budget or timeline. Many of my clients come back to me for their next move.

I can’t thank Melissa enough for all her help with selling my home! From beginning to end, she was there every step of the way, offering guidance, answering questions, and making sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the process. Selling a home can be stressful, but Melissa’s professionalism, patience, and genuine care made the experience so much easier. I truly appreciate her dedication, hard work, and personal attention. If you’re looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about her clients and goes the extra mile, I highly recommend Melissa. Thank you again for everything! -A. Acevedo

Melissa went above and beyond as a realtor. She was literally our eyes and ears on the ground going to open houses when we couldn’t. Her feedback was invaluable. We were buying out of state and she navigated us through the Florida home buying process with expertise and loyalty. She was able to help us secure our dream home and ensured every issue was addressed before we purchased. She puts her clients first and foremost!! -P. McGinnis
