About Melissa

There’s something unmistakable about the way Melissa Nicholls operates in real estate. It’s in the calm precision of her campaigns, the warmth of her client conversations, and the energy she brings to every listing across Bowen Hills, Newstead, Fortitude Valley, and Albion — a pocket of Brisbane she doesn’t just sell, but lives and breathes. Melissa’s journey started with a love of homes and an instinct for service — not the surface-level kind, but the kind grounded in listening, understanding, and showing up for people at one of the biggest moments in their lives. Over time, that evolved into a structured, high-performance approach that has delivered consistent results and earned the trust of a fiercely loyal client base. What sets Melissa apart isn’t just her ability to negotiate or market with flair — it’s her intuition. She knows what people need before they ask. She picks up on the unspoken. She balances detail with decisiveness. Her campaigns aren’t cookie-cutter — they’re curated. Her advice isn’t generic — it’s tailored with care, honesty, and the confidence that comes from knowing the market inside-out. Behind her polished execution is someone with big plans. Melissa is building more than just her personal brand — she’s laying the foundations for her future business within Junction. She’s here to lead, to grow, and to mentor others who want to elevate the way real estate is done. At Junction, we believe in doing things with intention — and Melissa embodies that from first meeting to final handshake. For her, real estate isn’t about the next deal. It’s about the next chapter — for her clients, her future team, and the communities she proudly serves.

Selling my property was exceptional

Catherine attitude towards selling my property was exceptional. Her advice was true and clear. We discussed the marketing plan and strategy to sell within a timeframe. Cath’s knowledge of the market and potential buyers was very helpful and gave me comfort to know it would sell. Her professionalism with me and my pet was very positive and caring. The outcome was a successful transaction.

Great communicator and strong market knowledge

Lachlan was excellent to work with during the sale process of my unit. He had strong knowledge of the area, market conditions and potential buyers. He was great to communicate with, keeping me informed daily of interested buyers, open house results, expectations and any campaign changes he would recommend along the way. Thank you Lachie for being a pleasure to work with and ensuring I got the best possible result.

Lachlan is a highly professional and caring Estate agent who cares about the seller during the sale.

Outstanding Experience – Highly Recommend Locky & Team I had an exceptional experience working with Locky to sell my property, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. I’m based in Melbourne while the property is on the Gold Coast, so the entire process was managed remotely via WhatsApp, phone, and email. Despite the distance, Locky made everything feel seamless and completely under control, with consistent communication and updates that kept me fully informed every step of the way. What really stood out was how proactive and easy he was to work with. He coordinated closely with my tenant to organise inspections smoothly and respectfully, and expertly navigated caretaker and building management requirements to ensure access was never an issue. He handled all of the complexities effortlessly, which made the whole experience stress-free for me. The result speaks for itself: the property was sold within just three weeks, achieving a price I was very happy with and felt was fair in the current market. I also want to give a special mention to Maddie in the admin office. Maddie was fantastic—extremely responsive, organised, and helpful with all documentation and coordination. Everything was handled efficiently and went through without a hitch. Overall, this was a smooth and professional experience from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend Locky and his team to anyone looking to sell their property—especially if you’re managing it remotely
