Melissa O'Bryan
@melissaobryan
Real estate broker and property manager specializing in short- and mid-term rental growth.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dynamic real estate professional who blends brokerage leadership with hands-on property management. I’ve built a niche focus in short-term vacation rentals and mid-term management, while also supporting financial sales, rentals, and insurance claim relocation assistance.
Since 2020, I’ve served as a Broker and Owner, overseeing guest reservations and communication, vendor relationships, and detailed client reporting. I integrate platform calendars, room availability, and pricing systems to optimize operations and rental outcomes.
Before real estate, I delivered performance in high-stakes sales environments—averaging $120,000 in monthly sales as a B2B Inside Sales Consultant. I developed marketing and lead strategies, supported hiring and training, and successfully navigated complex client communication as a PPP Loan Advisor and coaching sales consultant.
Earlier in my career, I operated as a co-founder and vice president of operations, directing end-to-end business operations and digital marketing. I launched Salesforce CRM and automated email campaigns, achieving a 33% appointment booking rate, and later led partner development initiatives by expanding programs and driving substantial revenue growth.
