Melody Hooker

Melody Hooker is originally from New Mexico where she grew up as the daughter of an Air Force Colonel and entrepreneurial mother whom both prioritized investing in real estate. In this environment she learned discipline, sharp business skills and the art of negotiation.

In 1992 she moved to Virginia to study Art History, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree from George Mason University and also a Certificate in Appraisal Studies from The George Washington University. She gained her experience working in a number of prominent art galleries and art consulting firms in the DC area and went on to run her own art appraisal business.

In 2008 as the mortgage crisis sent shock waves through the art market Melody moved her focus to real estate. Her appraisal skills served her well in assessing the true market value of properties and she and her husband invested in rental properties, of which she acted as property manager.

She joined TTR Sotheby’s International Realty as a real estate agent in 2017 and enjoys helping her clients find the right home for their needs. And as a change of residence may bring a difference in livable space, Melody’s partnership with Sotheby’s Auction and local auction houses is a great resource to her clients in need of downsizing or expanding and acquiring new items for their new spaces.

Over her 30 year residency in Virginia, Melody has called a number of areas home and enjoyed learning the special features and attractions of each, including: Fredericksburg, Manassas, Falls Church, Alexandria and McLean. Melody currently resides in McLean with her husband, two children, and rescue dog, Ash.
