Meet Melissa Trinkl
I’m a licensed real estate professional and travel advisor with a deep love for meaningful places, intentional living, and helping people make confident decisions about where — and how — they live and travel.
My background spans real estate, relocation, and years of planning experiences rooted in trust, communication, and long-term relationships. Today, my focus is simple: guiding clients through major life transitions — moving, traveling, and exploring new destinations — with clarity and care.
Real estate services are offered through CLTLuxury.com, while travel planning and destination guidance live here. Every recommendation I make is shaped by personal experience, not algorithms — and always with real life in mind.
