She sharpened up her advertising skills at a specialty advertising school in Minneapolis, MN. While attending advertising school in the evening, Melissa worked as a Leasing Consultant at a Property Management company. This is where she found her passion helping people find their next home.
Melissa moved to Atlanta, GA to pursue a career in advertising where she found the perfect fit at an Advertising Agency specializing in the branding, advertising, and marketing of Real Estate Developments.

Sharon Catanzaro Ledonne

My business career began at the age of 12, working with our family business, Frank J. Catanzaro & Sons Produce Co. selling fruit and vegetables at Findlay Market located in Over the Rhine.
After graduating from Seton High School, I began working full time for my father sharing his love and passion for the business. In 1983, my father changed the name of our business to include the word, 'Daughters'. My sister and I were delighted with our new company name, Frank J. Catanzaro Sons & Daughters, Inc. My career took me from a young girl selling fresh fruits & vegetables at an open air market to President of one of Cincinnati's top 100 Companies for 4 consecutive years.
In 2006, the family business was sold, leaving me the opportunity to pursue a career in real estate. I joined the HUFF REALTY Metropolitan office in downtown Cincinnati, which allowed me to work in a neighborhood that I grew up in and therefore am familiar with. My knowledge of downtown residential and commercial properties as well as surrounding areas allows me to create a custom fit for my clients.
Please contact me for all of your real estate needs!
