Melissa has closed $487M in lifetime sales volume across Hillsborough, Montgomery, and the greater Route 206 corridor — one handshake, one home, one neighbor at a time.

A local advisor,
not a transaction.

Section 01 — About
Est. 2008

For seventeen years, Melissa Jenkins has been the name on Hillsborough Township's "sold" signs — from the colonials off Amwell Road to the new construction off Route 206.

As a top-producing agent with RE/MAX Preferred Professionals, Melissa represents both sellers and buyers across Somerset County, with a particular specialty in move-up families, relocation transfers, and executive rentals. Her practice is built on a simple conviction: a home is the largest financial decision most families will ever make, and it deserves an advisor who picks up the phone.

Before real estate, Melissa spent a decade in residential lending — which means her clients get pre-listing valuations grounded in what buyers can actually borrow, not what websites estimate. She lives in Hillsborough with her family, and has served on the township's Economic Development Committee since 2019.
