Melanie Gonzalez was born and raised in Vero Beach, where her roots run deep and her love for the community continues to grow. A proud graduate of Vero Beach High School—where she enjoyed playing lacrosse and volleyball—Melanie went on to earn a marketing degree from the University of Central Florida, laying the groundwork for her success in real estate.
Now a new mother, Melanie’s appreciation for family and community has only deepened. She understands the importance of finding not just a house, but a true home—a place to grow, connect, and make lasting memories. Her strong sense of social connection and giving back is reflected in her active involvement throughout the community and her support of local causes and events.
Melanie delights in sharing the vibrant Florida lifestyle with her clients, offering insider knowledge of everything from nature trails, kayaking, and tennis to dining, boutique shopping, and family-friendly events. Her deep familiarity with the area allows her to match clients with communities that suit their needs and aspirations.
Working alongside her mother and brother at Coldwell Banker Paradise—founded by her grandparents, Ed and Marguerite Schlitt, in 1953—feels like coming full circle. She leverages her marketing background and the power of the Coldwell Banker brand to deliver high-quality marketing, a strong digital presence, and global reach, especially in the luxury market.
Melanie’s passion for people, place, and purpose shines through in every transaction, making her a trusted guide for clients looking to find their perfect place in the world.
