Em Casa with Melissa Goncalves

---

"Em Casa" means "At Home" in Portuguese, and this is the feeling I want all my clients to experience. My name is Melissa Goncalves. I was born and raised on Long Island and currently reside in Westchester County. I have spent the last 12 years in Customer Service, and to me, Real Estate is exactly that – exceptional Customer Service.

I had the fortune of watching my father work as a Contractor on various properties and homes. Throughout my life, my parents have purchased, renovated, and built homes, allowing me to witness firsthand the process of transforming and creating something magical for oneself and family. In April of 2021, my husband and I chose to make Westchester County our future and we purchased our first home in New Rochelle. We were even featured on HGTV's House Hunters! The experience of buying our home deepened my love for the Real Estate process and for getting to know the communities in Westchester. In early 2023, I pursued my Real Estate license to become a Real Estate Agent, and the rest is history. 

At Em Casa, you can explore various real estate opportunities through my 'Real Estate' tab. Additionally, on my 'Em Casa' tab you'll find tips and tricks for turning your house into a home.  Consider this my blog, where I'll share items I love, seasonal and traditional recipes, and other joys, hoping they will bring happiness to you too.

Take a look around – I hope you feel at home, or as we say, Em Casa.
