Thanks for checking out Messick Properties Group, Inc.!  We’ve been around since 1989 and pretty much do EVERYTHING in real estate – sales, leasing, property management, owners association management, auctions, real estate accounting and more.

While I am from Florida, my Messick relatives settled in the Piedmont area of North Carolina in the late 1700s, and there are a lot of us around here, known mainly for our businesses – grocery store chains, commercial developments, stone masonry and real estate.

My career began in Florida with several years at Walt Disney World Company in their finance and marketing divisions, with my final job with them as media buyer.  Work with advertising agency Gilpin, Peyton & Pierce followed, then came the big move to Winston-Salem.  After a few years in marketing at Wachovia Bank, I began working in real estate and served as vice president of Diversified Realty & Investments, focusing on commercial development, through 1989.

In addition to founding and growing Messick Properties Group, Inc., I serve or have served in the following positions:

  • Real estate teacher at Forsyth Technical Community College, 1991-1993 then again in 1997.
  • Board of Directors 2005 to present of the Northwest North Carolina Better Business Bureau
  • Board of Directors 2007 to 2018 of the Property Management Division of the Winston-Salem Regional Association of Realtors
  • President, 2014, Property Management Division of the Winston-Salem Regional Association of Realtors; vice president 2012-2013.

    Additionally, I was honored in 2012 with the 2012 Property Manager of the Year Award!

    When not working, I enjoy Carolina shag dancing, ventures with the Winston-Salem Ski & Outing club, riding my bicycle, riding my motorcycle and playing with my dogs Oliver and Arlo!

    Let us help you with your real estate needs – we’re professional yet fun and personable, and we get the job done!
