Melissa Quade has built a reputation as one of Northern California’s most discerning real estate professionals. Her trajectory is underpinned by a unique multi-disciplinary background that sets her apart from traditional agents.

Holding a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Melissa possesses an unparalleled ability to navigate the emotional complexities of high-stakes negotiations.

A Midwestern native with a spirit of adventure, Melissa has called El Dorado Hills home for many years. She lives there with her husband, Russ, and their son, Sawyer. Their household is made complete by their beloved dogs, who share in their love for the California outdoors.
An avid world traveler, Melissa's experiences across continents inform her appreciation for diverse architectural styles and cultural nuances.
Whether she is scuba diving in tropical waters or skiing the peaks of the Sierras, Melissa approaches life with the same vigor she brings to her business.
Melissa’s commitment to the local community goes beyond the sale of a home. She is a passionate advocate for the region’s growth and preservation, believing that the Northern California foothills offer a lifestyle of unparalleled beauty and connection.
