Melanie Vertical

Hello, I'm Melanie Kirchmeier

DIRECT | FOCUSED | WARM

Melanie Kirchmeier was raised in Salado. After her father, Bill Bartlett, moved his family to Salado in the early ’70s to start a career in real estate. Melanie attended Salado elementary and graduated from Salado High School. Upon graduation, she attended the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor before transferring to and graduating from Southwestern University. Melanie is married to Bob Roemer, and they enjoy spending time with their three grown children: Kayla, Cameron, and Stephen. Bob and Melanie have added a son-in-law, Michael, and daughters-in-law, Sarah and Ricki, to their rowdy family. Melanie has FINALLY become a doting grandmother when her first grandbaby, Ruthie, was born, and now has three more to love: Parker, Theo, and Billy.

How I started as a

BUSINESS OWNER & REAL ESTATE BROKER

Melanie Family

After graduating from Southwestern University, Melanie put her degree in Business Administration to use in the banking industry. She believed the best part of the banking world was visiting with clients and discovering their needs and wants in the financial realm. However, after several years in banking, it was clear there was another industry calling her name.

Melanie watched her Dad create and build a real estate company. She watched him help buyers and sellers make their dreams come true while providing for his family. After having a child and wanting something different for her family, Melanie decided to throw her hat into the real estate world. Over 35 years later, she is still loving her field of work, and most of all, finding the perfect home for each family to call their own.

Melanie earned her real estate license in 1989 and has since been active in the Temple/Belton Board of REALTORS®, serving in various roles such as President, Director, MLS Chair, Professional Standards Chair, and founding member of the Board’s annual food drive for over 20 years. Because of her hard work and dedication to supporting the real estate industry, she was named “Realtor of the Year” in 2014, and received the Leadership Award in 2018. Melanie has also invested her time into deepening her expertise in real estate by becoming a Graduate of the Real Estate Institute (GRI), Texas REALTORS® Leadership Program (TRLP), and a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS).

Downsizing

Melanie was instrumental in the sale of our home and working out all the details when unexpected bad weather and new home repairs needed caused some issues right before our closing. She was creative in problem solving and ultimately came up with a way for us to still close as planned in a highly u usual situation. We are absolutely thrilled with her service! She is compassionate, warm, extremely knowledgeable, detail-oriented, easy to talk with, and has been so helpful to us! She has many contacts in the industry and helped us on both the sale of our home but also navigating the waters of building new construction. I couldn't recommend her more highly and we will absolutely use her again if we move in the future!

Melanie has assisted me in the purchase of two homes and the sale of one. She is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dependable. She has a heart of gold, but like a tiger when it gets down to business. She is someone you want in your corner! I am very pleased with our recent purchase and experience.

Melanie is a gem of an individual. I have known Melanie for 25 + years first through my father and as of recently through our own first hand experience with her (my family and my mother). Her communication is clear and precise. She is always professional. You know that she is fighting for you and taking great care of you.l behind the scenes. She took on a very challenging case with our proposed land. Never complained, took it on head first. We trust her indefinitely. What a class act all around. We will forever be appreciative of what she was able to do for our family. My father thought so highly of her as well. Loved working with her.

We had such a great experience working with Melanie at Century 21 Bill Bartlett. I've worked with a number of realtors through the years, and Melanie is absolutely an expert in her field. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the entire home-buying process. She truly listened to what we were looking for and never made us feel pressured. Her expertise in the local market was invaluable, and she made closing day a breeze. If you are looking for a realtor who truly cares about her clients and is an expert who will represent your best interest, I highly recommend giving Melanie a call!

Melanie and her team were exceptional throughout our home-selling process.

From the start, Melanie proved to be professional, knowledgeable, courteous, efficient, and successful. Her team provided excellent support during a challenging time when our property and neighborhood were impacted by straight-line winds and tornado activity.

Melanie’s invaluable direction during our pause for storm cleanup and repair was crucial. Thanks to her guidance, we were able to return to the market quickly and sold our home shortly after

We are thrilled to have met and worked with Melanie and her professional team. Highly recommended!

Working with Melanie Kirchmeier and Century 21 Bill Bartlett was an amazing experience, everything I could have asked for and more. Her knowledge and devotion towards our need to find our home were above and beyond. I'm blessed to finally come home and settle in my home and start my life after the military. Thank you very much to Mrs. Kirchmeier for your kindness and support in changing my life.

She holds the Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI) and Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designations and is a graduate of the Texas REALTORS® Leadership Program (TRLP).

Her commitment to client care is reflected in more than 100 reviews and a five-star average rating on RealSatisfied, along with multiple Quality Service Awards through CENTURY 21.

APPROACH

We often say problem-solving is Melanie's "real estate superpower." If a transaction ever throws a curveball, you can count on Melanie to counter it with a creative solution. Direct and results-driven, Melanie doesn’t believe in high-pressure sales or transactions. Instead, she customizes her process to each client's needs, guided by the belief that there is always a best way, and it's her job to figure out what that is.

Community

Melanie has been incredibly involved in her community, having received the Salado Community Builder Award in 2015 and Salado Mayor award in 2005. While she volunteers throughout Bell County, Salado has been her primary volunteer area, having served on the Salado Chamber of Commerce, Friends Feeding Friends, and Salado ISD School boards, and now currently serving on the board for the Salado Senior Center. Melanie also served on the board of the Salado Education Foundation for 7 years and loved awarding scholarships to the local Salado graduates each year. As the Broker/Owner of CENTURY 21 Bill Bartlett, Melanie finds it important that the company employ that same mindset. Therefore, CENTURY 21 Bill Bartlett received the Business of the Year award in 2014 and consistently gives back to the community.

Family & Recreation

When she is not working or volunteering, Melanie can be found spending time with her family, whom she is grateful to have close by. She enjoys traveling with her family and friends. So far, they have taken trips to the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Scotland, Ireland, Italy, Norway, the Baltic Sea, U.K., as well as a river cruise through Germany and France. She also spends time tending to her flower garden, where she grows some beautiful and colorful irises.
