Melissa M. Lacey, Salesperson

Relocation is something she knows firsthand
Melissa served in the United States Air Force for 20 years before retiring. Over that career she relocated 11 times, so she knows the uncertainty of a new duty station, a new community and a new house to find on a deadline.
After retiring, she chose North Alabama as home and has lived in the Huntsville and Madison area for the past 18 years. She spent five years working on Redstone Arsenal, then taught Aerospace Studies for five years in Huntsville City Schools and eight years in Madison City Schools, building relationships across the community.
Today she brings that background to her work as a licensed Alabama real estate salesperson with Rooks Realty, Inc. As a Military Relocation Professional, she works with military personnel, federal employees, defense contractors, aerospace professionals and their families moving to Huntsville, Madison, Redstone Arsenal and the communities around them.
