Hi, I’m Melissa Plant. I grew up in Massac County and have called Marion, IL, home since 2003. My husband, John, and I were married in 1998, and together we’ve raised three amazing kids—our daughter recently got married, and our twin boys are currently in college.
I became a licensed real estate agent in November of 2019, but my experience in real estate goes back further. Before getting my license, I was a stay-at-home mom who flipped a few homes and managed rental properties—so real estate has always been a part of my life.
Today, I specialize in helping clients buy and sell luxury properties in beautiful southern Illinois, a place I truly love. We currently live on the Lake of Egypt, where we spend our free time boating, wakeboarding, and enjoying life with friends and family. Before that, we raised our kids in Kokopelli Estates, right in the heart of Marion.
What I love most about southern Illinois is the warmth of the people and the stunning natural beauty. From the rolling hills and forests to the lakes and trails, it’s a dream location for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. Whether you’re looking for your forever home, a weekend getaway, or an investment property, I’d love to help you find your perfect place here.
Let’s find your home—together.
