Melanie Kirchmeier

CENTURY 21 Bill Bartlett

Melanie was raised in Salado. After her father, Bill Bartlett, moved his family to Salado in the early ’70s to start a career in real estate, Melanie attended/graduated from Salado ISD. Upon graduation, she attended the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor before transferring to and graduating from Southwestern University.
Melanie watched her Dad create and build a real estate company. She watched him help buyers and sellers make their dreams come true while providing for his family. After working a few years in the banking industry and having a child herself, she decided to throw her hat into the real estate world. Thirty-five years later, she is still loving her field of work, and most of all, finding the perfect home for each family to call their own.
Melanie has been active in the Temple/Belton Board of Realtors, serving in various roles such as President, Director, MLS Chair, Professional Standards Chair, and founding member of the Board’s annual food drive for over 20 years. Because of her hard work and dedication to supporting the real estate industry, she was named “Realtor of the Year” in 2014, and received the Leadership Award in 2018. She has also invested her time into deepening her expertise in real estate by becoming a Graduate of the Real Estate Institute (GRI), an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), and a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS). Melanie has also been incredibly involved in her community, having received the Community Builder Award in 2015 and Salado Mayor award in 2005. While she volunteers throughout Bell County, Salado has been her primary volunteer area, as she’s served on the Salado Chamber of Commerce, Friends Feeding Friends, and Salado ISD School board. Melanie also served on the board of the Salado Education Foundation for 7 years and loved awarding scholarships to the local Salado graduates each year.
Melanie has expertise working with residential property, investment property, and commercial property sales. She looks forward to putting her knowledge, experience, and passion to work for you.
