About Your Agent
I’m Melissa Hayes, a Commercial Broker with KW Commercial at Keller Williams Southern Oregon. I was raised in Grants Pass and understand the challenges and opportunities that small, vibrant markets like Southern Oregon offers. I have nearly two decades of experience navigating transactions in commercial real estate and business brokerage throughout the Pacific Northwest. My background encompasses lending, finance, appraisal and environmental review with knowledge and expertise extending to specialized areas such as lender owned special assets review, construction and navigating the complexities of Small Business Administration (SBA) Loans. I graduated from the University of Oregon School of Architecture and Allied Arts and share a unique perspective and skillset with my clients.
Over the years, I have worked with clients from all industries and sizes on their real estate acquisitions, meeting strict deadlines and working through the complexities that occur during due diligence. I will go above and beyond by helping my clients plan, strategize equity and debt placement, and coordinate teams for construction, leaseholds, partner buy-outs and more. My commitment to delivering highly personalized solutions and maximizing value for my clients has been the driving force throughout my career.
Negotiating commercial real estate and business brokerage can be complex and intricate. I can help you secure the best possible terms and guide you through the negotiation process, ensuring you get a fair deal. I’m eager to embark on this journey with you and leverage my local expertise to your advantage. With Horizon Commercial Realty Group on your side, you’ll have a partner deeply committed to your success.
I currently reside in Grants Pass with my partner and our 7-year-old. I spend most weekends volunteering in my community and spending quality time outdoors with my family. We especially enjoy overnight trips to Brookings with our 3 dogs, Brownie, Sheera and Thor.
