Melissa Sterling
Real Estate Broker/Owner
Shelbyville, TN
Melissa Sterling is the Broker and Co-Owner of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Heritage Group, serving clients across Bedford, Coffee, Lincoln, Warren, and Fentress Counties. A respected leader, mentor, and top producer, Melissa has built her reputation on a foundation of trust, ethics, and an unwavering belief in doing what’s right. After a successful career in corporate management where she led hundreds and grew multi-million-dollar divisions, Melissa followed her calling to real estate—a place where she could combine her business acumen with her genuine love for guiding others through life-changing decisions. Within just a few years, she became a licensed broker, co-owner, and one of Middle Tennessee’s most respected real estate leaders. Her life on her family farm shapes how she connects with clients. She’s raised cattle, pigs, and chickens, drives her own dually, hauls her own trailers, and can run a tractor as confidently as she runs a brokerage. She knows firsthand the value of land, freedom, and honest work—and brings that same authenticity to every deal. Yet she’s equally at ease stepping into a formal gala or high-level negotiation, representing her clients with class and calm authority. For Melissa, success isn’t measured only by numbers—it’s defined by the people she helps move forward in life. Her goal is simple: to ensure every client feels seen, heard, and guided with genuine care. Whether she’s helping first-time buyers open new doors or showcasing Tennessee’s finest horse properties, Melissa embodies the perfect blend of country grit and professional grace.
