Meet Melissa Francis

A Calm Guide in a Fast-Paced Market

I’m Melissa Francis — a licensed Realtor® serving Massachusetts and Rhode Island, based in Swansea on the beautiful Southeast Coast of Massachusetts. I’m also a mom, a wife, and someone who truly values clarity, connection, and smart strategy in every move.

With more than 20 years of experience in professional sales, I’ve worked with corporate buyers, negotiated contracts, and led high-stakes proposals. That background gave me a solid foundation in what matters most: listening, advocating, and staying focused on the outcome. Real estate was a natural next step for me — a place where my love for home design, local communities, and helping others could come together.

My first real estate transaction involved a unique waterfront boathouse — a rewarding experience where I handled everything from staging and marketing to negotiation and inspections. I knew then that this was more than a career path — it was a calling.

A Local Expert with a Client-First Mindset

Born and raised in Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, I know this area deeply — from the neighborhoods and school systems to the best family-friendly events, outdoor spaces, and hidden gem restaurants. I’m someone clients come to not only for real estate guidance, but also for trusted local referrals, support during a life transition, or just a quick call to talk through options.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply curious about the market, I bring both warmth and expertise to the table. I work hard to ensure you feel informed and supported, without ever feeling rushed or pressured. I treat every client like a neighbor — because most of the time, you are.

I’m proud to be part of New Road Realty, a respected local brokerage built on collaboration, professionalism, and decades of combined experience helping clients make confident real estate decisions across MA and RI.

Let’s connect and talk about what’s next — I’d be honored to help.
