Melissa Jaques

Real Estate Broker

(541) 530-1892

I’m Melissa Jaques, a Broker with John L. Scott, and I’m passionate about helping people find their place. With a heart for service and a genuine love for connecting with others, I’ve built my real estate career around warmth, responsiveness, and deep local expertise. I’ve proudly called Columbia County home since 2017, and I bring a blend of knowledge, community involvement, and client?first care to every transaction. My journey in real estate began long before I became a Realtor. I started in finance and secondary home lending in 2006, which gave me valuable insight into the financial side of homeownership. Over the past six years as a licensed Realtor, I’ve become known for my calm guidance, strong communication, and ability to simplify even the most complex steps of the buying or selling process. I’m proud to hold several professional designations, including: • Certified Listing Specialist • Certified Buyers Specialist • Certified Open House Specialist • Relocation Specialist Throughout my career, I’ve been honored to receive recognition for my dedication and hard work: • 2021 Rookie of the Year • 2022 & 2023 President’s Award Recipient • 2024 President’s Gold Award Recipient • 2024 Top 1% Realtors in Oregon As a Relocation Specialist, I love helping clients transition into our area with confidence and ease. Whether someone is moving from across town or across the country, I provide the resources, guidance, and local insight they need to make the move smooth and stress?free. Community involvement inspires me daily. I’m grateful to serve as a Board Member of the Columbia County Board of Realtors and a Board Member of the McBride PTO. Supporting our schools, families, and community growth is truly important to me. As a longtime local enthusiast, I also enjoy sharing the best of our area—from favorite restaurants and hidden outdoor gems to trusted contractors who can help with repairs, upgrades, or full home transformations. My clients consistently appreciate my quick responses, attention to detail, and commitment to their goals. I believe real estate isn’t just about buying or selling a home—it’s about walking alongside people during major life transitions and helping them feel supported, comfortable, and confident every step of the way. Whether you’re relocating, buying your first home, preparing to sell, or exploring your next chapter, I’m here to make the journey positive, smooth, and deeply supported.

“Melissa was absolutely fantastic to work with. She helped us find our dream house and we were able to get it for a great price, and she helped us sell our house for the highest amount in the neighborhood. She worked around the clock to make the process as simple as possible on us, and we had a ton of fun while going through the process as well. We cannot recommend her enough!”

“If you have any questions of buying or selling your home, I highly recommend Melissa Schulze. We had the pleasure of working with Melissa from the John L. Scott team and she was fantastic! Melissa was patient and answered every question we had. She was very knowledgeable and honest with her opinions about all the homes we viewed. We highly recommend Melissa! Review Rating = 5 / 5 Stars!”

“Melissa is absolutely incredible to work with. She has made this whole process so simple and smooth! I was selling my home and moving across the country, and she even found me an agent to work with in another state! I can ALWAYS reach out to her whenever I had a question or was confused about something! I couldn't say anything else but that she is the best and I wish I could take her with me so she could be my buying agent for my next home!!!”
