Born in Minneapolis, MN, Aimee moved to Jacksonville when she was just a year-old and has been a native Jacksonvillian ever since. She began her career in the power generation industry working at a local machine shop while attending UNF until she was offered an opportunity in the family business to run a seasonal, full-service marina and restaurant in Granby, Colorado! While she loved hospitality and meeting new people, she missed home. Another incredible opportunity presented itself to Aimee years later when she became a partner at the machine shop. Her new position catered to her strengths and she was once again able to embrace a service-oriented role, caring for everyone from customers to vendors to, most importantly, employees. Her passion to serve people eventually led her to real estate, as it seemed to make a lot of sense to her. She quickly realized she's not a "sales person" which worked to her advantage. She's a people person, a relationship-builder who is more interested in bringing value to a satisfied client than selling them a home. She knows that if she has gained a friend by the end of a transaction, she's done her job.

When she's not helping clients buy and sell real estate, she loves baking recipes that she and her two daughters find on TikTok or watching her wonderful husband coach her daughters' soccer teams. They are also parents to a spoiled-rotten King Charles Cavalier Spaniel named Ollie who lives his best life just waiting for his next treat. 

Alli approaches real estate with a rare combination of the head and the heart. Her background in corporate finance and marketing forms her pricing and negotiation strategies. But it’s her willingness to really listen and get to know her customers that sets her apart.

Alli’s goal is always to help her customers find not just a house, but a home. A place that perfectly fits their lifestyle and meets their needs. She enjoys guiding customers through the months-long process of a new construction build, advocating on their behalf to ensure the finished home is exactly what they’d hoped for. And her first-hand experience as a real estate investor and home renovator comes in handy when helping customers purchase a resale or investment home.

Originally from Savannah, GA, Alli has called Jacksonville home for more than a decade. When she’s not busy building her business, she enjoys boating with her husband, doing home renovation projects, and, most importantly, doting on her two young children.

I am a wife, a mother, a full time Realtor licensed and practicing real estate since 2016, and an immigrant from Russia proud to live the American dream.

I specialize in serving discerning buyers and sellers throughout Northeast Florida who value discretion, elevated service, and a seamless real estate experience. If you are searching for a Russian speaking Realtor in St. Augustine or Jacksonville, Florida, I offer refined guidance in both English and Russian so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

My professional foundation began in banking, where I managed multiple branches and advised clients on significant financial decisions. That experience shaped my attention to detail, negotiation strategy, and ability to anticipate challenges before they arise, all of which I bring into every real estate transaction.

While I grew up in Russia, some of my most meaningful memories were spent in Ukraine at my grandmother’s home. With a Ukrainian mother and a Russian father, I understand the importance of connection, trust, and being truly understood, especially when navigating major life decisions.

Today, I work with clients who are not simply purchasing a property, but curating a lifestyle. From coastal homes in Ponte Vedra to private estates and riverfront residences along the St. Johns River, I help you align your home with the life you envision.

My approach is tailored, strategic, and highly attentive. I guide you through each step of the process with precision, from market analysis and negotiations to closing, ensuring a smooth and elevated experience. For my Russian speaking clients, I provide clear communication throughout and collaborate with trusted lenders and professionals who can also support you in your preferred language.

I proudly serve St. Augustine, Jacksonville, St. Johns County, Duval, Clay, and Nassau counties, offering deep local expertise and a commitment to excellence.

If you are looking for a Russian speaking Realtor in Northeast Florida who delivers a high level of service, strong negotiation, and a thoughtful, client first approach, I would be honored to work with you.

Born in Charlotte to a big family full of love, Bret Melton left the nest to earn a business degree at Five Towns College just outside of New York City. With the opportunity of a paying job (and not just another internship), he moved to sunny Florida a few years after graduation. As soon as his feet hit the ground, he knew he'd be a Floridian for life! Bret's job paid well but wasn't fulfilling him in other areas. He'd always wanted to try Real Estate thanks to his love of people and architecture, but he wasn't sure if sales was right for him. After investigating, he came to understand that Real Estate is mostly about caring for and serving people, something Bret always took great pride in no matter what his job was. In 2015, he decided to get his toes out of the Real Estate pool and jump in head first. He grew a network of Realtors and other associates as he focused on caring for his clients. Now, his greatest strength is the mortgage bankers, attorneys, and other professionals that he calls upon to navigate difficult transactions on behalf of his clients. And thanks to earning a designation as a Certified Negotiations Expert while still in college, he hangs his hat on his ability to help all sides of a transaction walk away feeling satisfied. When Bret is not working, he enjoys volunteering at his church, joining friends for lunch (especially if it includes seafood), and playing with his two dogs, Sammie and Buddy. He might even be planning his next trip to visit his friends and family in Morocco, Africa.
