As a member of the Kara Pierce Team, Melissa uses her fine-tuned customer service skills to help her clients reach their real estate goals. A high achiever from the start, she graduated high school with immediate acceptance into a doctorate program and sophomore status. An alum of the Richard Stockton University where she was an All Conference pole vaulter, she holds a B.S in Biology and Doctorate of Physical Therapy. She enjoyed a highly successful career as a physical therapist and earned a reputation for excellence across Hawaii, Florida and Pennsylvania. 

As a PA native, Melissa was thrilled when her husband’s career serving our nation’s veterans (and obsession with fly fishing) brought them to central PA. Her skills and reputation made her a sought after consultant for Villanova University and a collegiate coach at Elizabethtown. Melissa brings the same tenacity, passion and dedication she has for real estate to all aspects of her life. When not working, she and her husband are often found hiking, fishing, climbing or painting with their joyful and opinionated little girl. 

Absolutely loved working with Melissa Murphy on Kara Pierce's team to buy a perfect home for my family in Lancaster. We weren't easy clients: we were looking for a home remotely from 1,000 miles away and we had many priorities (and many of them competing) that made it tough to find THE house.

Melissa was incredibly patient, professional, and persistent. Melissa brings three towering strengths to your home search:

1. She's hungry for continued refinement of our search criteria. Melissa reached out after every showing to discuss detailed feedback to refine our search moving forward.

2. She's a ruthless negotiator and will work like crazy for the best interest of her clients. She knows the game, ins and outs of the contracts, and how to best represent her clients.

3. Melissa is a fabulous communicator. I always felt heard, and she always followed up on next steps If we ever need to move again, without question I will work with Kara Pierce's team again.
