About Melanie Pissarius

Melanie grew up in Germany and felt the desire to explore the world at an early age. Her academic and exciting professional career in international development, political strategy, and international higher education took her to countries throughout Europe, Japan and the United States. With each move, Melanie carefully studied the real estate market and learned the complexities and nuances of establishing oneself in a new community.

 

Melanie launched her real estate career in Northern Virginia in 2018 and has since developed an extensive knowledge of the wide variety of neighborhoods and advantages this area has to offer. She has expanded her geographical reach and has been licensed in Maryland and DC as well, being able to help clients throughout the entire DMV region.

 

She excels at carefully listening to her clients, understanding their needs and providing them with the very best options. Additionally, she brings to real estate an exceptional cultural sensitivity, the ability to clearly communicate complicated matters and a rare level of honesty. She is fluent in English, German, and Italian.

 

Melanie has been married to Zia, whom she met while working at the United Nations in Vienna, Austria, for 13 years. After living in Charlottesville, Virginia, for a number of years, they have found their dream home in Annandale, where they chase around their kids Juno, Max and Gus Gus and their two dogs Sparkle and Dazzle.

 

If Melanie is not serving a client, she enjoys walking her Schnoodle Sparkle, loves to cook, and is an avid baker. In fact, she has won the 2012 Gingerbread House competition in Charlottesville, VA, and loves to teach kids about healthy foods as a volunteer at her kids’ schools.
