A native of the Washington, D.C. and the Maryland suburbs, Melinda Estridge has been helping people buy and sell properties for more than 22 years. Her enthusiasm, dedication and personal integrity make her the REALTOR® of choice in the Washington Metropolitan area. 

Considered a leader among her peers and her associates, Melinda  is ranked in the top 1/2% of Realtors® nationwide. She capitalizes on her professional experience, knowledge, and love of the area to bring her clients the best results.  As a well-trained and experienced negotiator, Melinda assures her clients the best value possible, whether buying or selling. 

Melinda has been selling real estate most of her adult life. She graduated with a degree in Chinese History from the College of Wooster in Ohio. Needless to say, most of her real estate training has been gained from her many years of on-the-job experience. 

Melinda has a great deal of experience with interior decorating and landscaping which has helped her buy homes, fix them up and sell them again. This has been a benefit to buyers who may need imagination to visualize the potential of a home. This is also extremely valuable to sellers because it enables them to understand what fix-ups their home may need to maximize the selling price before listing their home for sale. 

Melinda enjoys traveling and is learning to play golf, much to her husband's delight. She loves art and the cultural aspects of the Washington, D.C. area. She is a terrific resource of information for the best restaurants, undiscovered city sites and terrific weekend get-aways within a few hours of D.C. 

She is married to Bob O'Toole. He was in the mortgage business for 19 years and is now the Senior Buyer Specialist on her team. Because of Bob's background in finance, he is able to provide very pertinent and useful information to Melinda's clients. He can shop loans for the lowest rates in town. Melinda and Bob work closely together to be sure their clients receive the best service possible.
