Melanie Callahan
Broker | Owner | Central Coast Real Estate & Property Management
Rooted in the heart of California and inspired by the beauty of the Central Coast, I bring over 30 years of experience in real estate to every client relationship. As a native Californian, I’ve lived in many vibrant communities—but none that compare to the charm, lifestyle, and natural beauty of San Luis Obispo County.
Throughout my career, I’ve worn many hats—real estate agent, office manager, and now proud owner and broker of my own firm. This journey has given me a deep understanding of the local market and a wide-ranging perspective I use to guide buyers, sellers, investors, and renters with confidence and care.
At our company, we specialize in comprehensive real estate and property management services. With a diverse portfolio of over 125 single-family homes, townhouses, condos, and apartments in the San Luis Obispo area, we’re dedicated to connecting people with the right property and providing the kind of service that lasts long after the deal is done.
My promise is simple: to deliver the highest level of real estate service and to build lasting relationships that support your goals—now and into the future.

A lifelong resident of the California coast and proud San Luis Obispo local for the past 23 years, I bring a deep understanding of the Central Coast lifestyle and its unique real estate market. With a 35-year career in financial markets and over 25 years of hands-on experience buying and selling real estate, I approach every transaction with a strategic, results-driven mindset.
