Hi, I’m Melinda Stout, and I’m passionate about helping people find not just a house, but a place they can truly call home.

I grew up on a small farm just north of Carthage, Missouri, and those roots taught me the value of hard work, family, and community. Today, my husband and I continue that tradition by operating a small cattle farm near Avilla. I’ve been blessed with a marriage of more than 30 years, three wonderful adult children, and three grandchildren who keep life lively and joyful.

I became a Realtor® in 2014 and quickly discovered how much I love guiding people through one of the biggest decisions of their lives. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, looking for more room for your growing family, downsizing, or searching for the perfect land to build your dreams, I’m here to listen, support, and deliver results.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients across Southwest Missouri, including Joplin, Carthage, Webb City, Reeds, Oronogo, and beyond. I’m proud to be affiliated with Fathom Realty, where my focus is on honesty, clear communication, and making the real estate process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

When you work with me, you’ll get more than just a Realtor®—you’ll have a trusted partner who treats every transaction as if it were for my own family. My goal isn’t just to sell houses; it’s to build long-lasting relationships and help my clients feel confident in every step of their journey.

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or simply exploring your options, I’d love to connect with you. Let’s turn your real estate dreams into reality.
