I am Melissa Anderson, Founder and Director of Camella. For the past 13 years I have worked as a Director at Rightmove, consulting estate agents and developers on how to market their properties to accelerate property sales and achieve the best possible asking price. I have developed a real passion for property with a desire to modernise the way for buyers and sellers to purchase their homes. Using traditional estate agent methods coupled with technology, Camella is on a mission to improve the home moving journey and take the stress away from one of the biggest investments in people’s lives. I am a proud Bathonian and fortunate to have lived and raised my family in the beautiful city of Bath for over 40 years. I attended St Gregory’s Catholic school in Bath, St Brendan’s Sixth form college and graduated from University of South Wales with a BA Hons in Advertising and Media. My local knowledge of the city, suburbs, and surrounding villages allows me to offer advice on schools, amenities, community hubs and dog walks, which I often take with my cockapoo Molly. There are many reasons for moving home and sometimes the journey is an emotional challenge. During my property career sellers have shared stories about a lack of service, empathy, and communication, causing unnecessary stress. At Camella whatever your circumstance we will work with you to make your property sell or purchase an enjoyable experience. Camella was born on International Woman’s Day bringing kindness and happiness into the property buying and selling process, putting people at the heart of moving home.
