About Me
Experience
Buyers
Finding a home is an exciting process and I love the hunt for the perfect fit. Listening to you and learning about your "must-haves" and "deal breakers" hopefully ensures a speedy process. In today's market, you need an agent ready to move quickly and efficiently to give you the best opportunity possible to have your offer accepted. I love making the phone call "Congratulations! you are under contract". That is where my work begins. I will be there every step of the way until closing day....and beyond. Welcome, home neighbor!
Sellers
Selling one of your largest investments is an honor I do not take lightly. The listing process has many steps, and I will take as much stress out of selling your home as possible. After learning your objectives, I will give you guidance to get your home ready for the market. With my knowledge of the current market, I will provide you the information you need to price your home correctly. I have the expertise along with the Beverly-Hanks Marketing Team, to market your property all across the country. Professional photography, and marketing materials, are the rule, not the exception. My goal is to SELL your home quickly and for the best terms possible. You will have my full attention from start to finish and you will always have a friend in Hendersonville.
As your full-time Realtor, whether you are buying or selling, my commitment is to you. Let's get started!
Testimonials
I've dealt with many sales people and I've been a sales person, manager and she is what a Salesperson should be. I would recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a real estate agent with the highest praise for her skills in the field.

Melanie Saldutti was very knowledgeable and professional throughout our househunting experience. We appreciated her patience as we learned to navigate a very strange time in the real estate market. We relied heavily on her guidance throughout the process and appreciated her calm, patient, and no-pressure approach.
Chris and Dawn Wantuch, Saluda


I would have to admit that my wife and I were not the easiest clients to manage. We were nervous and fearful of selling our home at our ages (85 & 71), and nearly every odd thing that came up from the buyer's side worried us greatly. Melanie was always calm and responsive to our concerns, and worked hard to guide us toward appropriate decisions in times of concern. Both Susan and myself have remarked to one another that Melanie was a calming force when we got overwrought in the face of what we considered unreasonable buyer requests. In the end, we sold our home very quickly and have been able to begin the next steps in our future home ownership.

Melanie Saldutti has a positive, helpful and friendly attitude. She wants her buyers to be happy and is very honest answering questions.
Carol Hilton - Hendersonville


Melanie Saldutti has a natural talent as a Realtor. She has the right mix of management skills, people skills, and the disposition to handle potentially high stressful situations.
Jim Jackson


I have never met such an amazing agent! Melanie Saldutti was always quick to respond, knew the answers to all my questions (if she didn't, she went out of her way to find the answer for me), very kind to us, thoughtful. I came from out of state & she went out of her way to stand in for me & represent me. She just made all of this so much easier for us! Y'all have a very talented & all around good person working for y'all!
Melissa, Zirconia


I worked with Melanie to purchase a home last year, and I absolutely loved working with her. There was never a question of who I would work with when purchasing my property. The only thing that changed between those transactions, is that the home purchase required a lot of work on her part, and the land purchase required much more. At every opportunity she stepped up to the plate and performed fantastically. I will be recommending her to anyone I know looking to buy or sell any type of real estate. Melanie was more thorough than I even knew to be. Her follow up, resolve, and attention to detail really helped pull through a difficult transaction (due to several other obstacles) and close on time.
Andy, Mills River


I dreaded my first home purchase because I can't stand the old "sales pitch" and hassle of being led to what someone wants you to buy and of course all the seller "games". I came in knowing exacting what I needed and wanted, and Melanie did not waste my time trying to sell me on properties that would not meet my needs. She was upfront, honest, clear and always diplomatic when challenges would later arise from home inspections. Melanie would send me an email on a new property the day before it would go on the market, and her swift actions allowed me to be the first to see it and make an offer. Had I been to Boylston Hwy even one day later, I would not have had the same opportunity and I would have missed out on the perfect home and land. Once the offer was accepted, Melanie was key in making things move forward. She ensured I have companies hired, inspections completed as early as possible, and called in a new inspection company when significant challenges arose. My time is quite limited with my work, and there is no way I could have coordinated all of these complex processes and checks without her. Melanie was there, in person, up to the last minute turning water on and off to help ensure the well passed inspection just 24 hours before closing! Melanie's work ethic s so rare today, and her integrity a true value that is greatly appreciated. Melanie's entire team was just as helpful and they all kept great communication with each other and myself. I am so appreciative to have had an amazing experience purchasing my first home, and really, this is a result of someone who truly cares. Best regards, Katie W.

As a little girl, Melanie Saldutti grew up across the street from me, and though I had not seen her in 15-20 years, I had heard that she was doing real estate and suggested her to my son who was condo hunting. She did a wonderful job with my son and when another agent at another agency basically left us high and dry, I decided to call her - and are REALLY glad we did! She was attentive, knowledgeable, and though our needs were a bit unusual, she found a great place for us that met all of our unusual needs, We left our previous agent due to a lack of attentiveness, although we both had known her for years and felt she was a friend. We went to Melanie Saldutti because of past history. We would go BACK to her because of her PRESENT excellent service!! Thanks, Mel!

Melanie is efficient and professional while being personable and compassionate during a hectic process. I highly recommend her whether you are selling or buying property in Henderson County.
Jack Harris, Hendersonville, NC


Melanie Saldutti was critical to our satisfaction in buying a Hendersonville home. Besides being knowledgeable and friendly, there are two reasons we recommend her. One, she is an excellent communicator. We received information and updates by both email and text in near "real time" exchanges. Secondly, we were moving from 5 hours away and Melanie helped us tremendously. She got us information and contacts we needed to check on details of the home. She met with contractors when we could not make the trip to Hendersonville ourselves. These actions were above and beyond, and they continue now after the closing! Melanie is still helping us post closing with communication, information, labor recommendations, and general encouragement. She is a wonderful person, and therefore a wonderful person with whom to work. My wife feels that Melanie is her first friend in Hendersonville, not just "our realtor." 100% satisfied.
Rob and Gina Courter


Melanie was very confident and very honest and up front with us. She took her time and answered any and all questions we had until we were finished asking no matter how long that took. She had my best interest in mind at all times and was very patient and saw it through to the end. She is a person who didn't give up until the house was sold. She was very up front and honest with us from the beginning and she took care of everything. Melanie sold our house before it had to be sold. We had a six month time frame and she sold it within three months.She also did all of the calling with the ex spouse for the agreements and took care of all paperwork that needed to be done. Melanie was patient, kind, and hard working to get the house sold. Very good and honest realtor.

How is the tax bill of a home determined in North Carolina?
Real property is appraised at 100% of market value and includes land, buildings, structures, and improvements. State law requires counties to reappraise every eight years, but many counties reappraise every four. A bill can be a combination of tax rates. For example, a home inside the City of Asheville and Asheville City School districts will have three separate tax rates represented on a bill: the Buncombe County rate, the City of Asheville rate, and the Asheville City School rate. All rates are totaled to calculate the total tax liability. Tax rate estimates for our mountain communities can be found on page 127 of the Allen Tate/Beverly-Hanks Welcome magazine.
