Melinda Ingram is a native of Sussex County, Delaware and has been a full-time sales agent for 15 years. She has steadily grown her business each year while working with both buyers and sellers. Highly respected in her field, she was designated a Five Star Real Estate Agent by Five Star Professional from 2016 to 2024.

In May 2014, Melinda was provided the opportunity to join Jack Lingo, REALTOR'S® Rehoboth Beach office. Her late grandfather was a builder in Sussex County for over 50 years and helped to build part of the original Jack Lingo, REALTOR® office building on Rehoboth Avenue. He also developed many of the communities situated along Coastal Highway and on the east side of Route 1 in Lewes. He taught Melinda everything she knows about real estate and the local market, and she sincerely believes he would have wanted her to be part of the Jack Lingo, REALTOR® team.

Melinda was born in Milton, the town in which her mother's family has lived since the early 1920s. Her father and his parents are from the Lewes and Harbeson areas. Melinda has traced her Delaware roots back to the late 17th century, when her family farmed land on Prettyman Road. With such a rich family history in the area, she has always felt at home in Coastal Delaware. She left for a brief time to attend college at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. She graduated in 2000 with a degree in communications and media studies. Upon graduating from college in 2000, she immediately moved back home to begin her career.

Before pursuing her real estate license, Melinda worked at her family's local furniture business in Lewes for almost five years. She has focused most of her real estate business on residential sales. As a local, however, she also possesses an extensive knowledge of the regional commercial market. She takes time to show each of her buyers the area to help them get a genuine feel for the local lifestyle. Her sellers choose to list with her because she communicates well, listens to their needs, and responds promptly to their requests. Please let her show you how much Sussex County, Delaware has to offer. You will love it here too!
