This Month's Program


Melinda Elmer

How did the Real Estate Industry change in 2024? 
A discussion about Sitzer Burnett and how that impacts family law cases when selling real property. 
What we are seeing in the market trend?

 



Since 2003 I have been an industry-leading Real Estate Professional, centrally located between Orange and Los Angeles County in Long Beach. My passion for helping people buy and sell homes developed when looking to purchase my first house in Long Beach. During that journey, I felt like I was not being heard by the agent I chose to consult. This experience instilled in me the desire to be the Real Estate Agent I wish I had. I decided to be the change and make my number one priority listening to the client. 
 
At The Elmer Team, we take a team approach to real estate. I have carefully curated my team of professionals to consistently provide the full service and attention each client deserves. Working with us, you will have the personal attention traditionally associated with the client-agent relationship improved by the professionalism and consistency of my outstanding team. 
 
I am among the top 1% of agents in today’s market, consistently awarded accolades for my production and service, recognized for outstanding achievements by the Women’s Council of REALTORS®, and a multi-year recipient of the prestigious Los Angeles Magazine’s Five Star rating. Most important to me is my clients and helping them in their success. With this goal in mind, my business has grown successfully and consistently thanks to happy clients’ repeat business and introductions to friends, family, and neighbors. This track record is only possible because we deliver both results and an enjoyable experience.

  Maddie Merrill
      Financial Advisor

Maddie is a Financial Advisor who joined The Maize Group in 2020. After studying finance and economics at The University of Southern California, she started her career working as a Municipal Bond Analyst at Guggenheim Partners. While at Guggenheim Partners, she realized how much she missed connecting and helping others. Exploring other career options, she realized that advising was the perfect blend of her top two interests: capital markets and helping people.

Maddie’s approach to advising is based on who her clients are as individuals. Her investment recommendations are never the same from client to client because no two clients have the same set of financial circumstances. She finds joy in educating her clients and helping to find suitable solutions that fit their unique needs and wants. In Maddie’s mind, the guide to any client relationship is their financial plan. While many plans change over time, she prides herself on having timely communication with clients to ensure they always know she is looking after their assets so they can spend time living the life they love.

Maddie is an active member of her Alumni network and volunteers as a mentor at the USC Dornsife School of Economics. She also enjoys community involvement and is currently on the Board of Directors for the Seal Beach Chamber of Commerce. Before her career in finance, Maddie had a 15-year long career in athletics including earning a swimming scholarship to USC and qualifying for the 2016 United States Olympic Trials of Swimming in three events. In her spare time, she enjoys working out, reading, international travel, and considers herself a “foodie”. She lives in Seal Beach with her husband and black Labrador Retriever.
