As Office Manager at McGrath Traralgon, Melissa Van Berkel combines a genuine passion for property with extensive local knowledge and a strong commitment to community. Having lived in the Latrobe Valley for more than two decades and worked in real estate for 10 years, Melissa understands the people, lifestyles and opportunities that make the region such a rewarding place to call home.

Melissa is passionate about following property trends, watching homes transform through renovation, and helping people build confidence as they enter the market. She particularly enjoys sharing her knowledge with first-time buyers and supporting clients throughout their property journey.

An active member of the local community, Melissa volunteers across several organisations, including local schools, sporting clubs, Scouts and charitable initiatives. Her community-minded approach and dedication to building meaningful relationships make her a valued member of the McGrath Traralgon team. Outside of work, she enjoys Pilates, discovering new restaurants and spending time with family and friends.
