Melissa Vale (Princeton) | Douglas Elliman

A graduate of New York City’s Chapin School, Melissa Vale, studied history as an undergraduate at Princeton University. During her time at Princeton, she excelled as a student and became a member of the Phi Beta Kappa academic honor society, ultimately graduating summa cum laude with a bachelor of arts. Melissa Vale began her career in New York City as a freelance writer and brand awareness consultant, focusing on art, film, philanthropy, and culture. Her clients, who included numerous New York designers, appreciated her assistance in improving their social media presence

In recent years, Ms. Vale has expanded her professional capabilities by becoming a real estate agent at Douglas Elliman - specializing in the sale and rental of residential properties. When showing a property, she draws on both an encyclopedic understanding of the city and her own experience growing up on New York’s Upper East Side - although she is intimately familiar with all major areas of Manhattan. This knowledge allows her to provide important information regarding local restaurants, the public school system, and more.

To remain apprised of the latest market developments, she engages with professional organizations, such as the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) and attends new development events and broker open houses.
