Sarah Bellamy Residential Agent Serving Melville and Area 306-730-9253 [email protected] I was born and raised in Melville and knew it would always be home no matter where I went. After a few years away to get my Education Degree it was time to move back to my hometown and do just what I had dreamed of, raise a family. Along with my husband Chord, daughter Lyr- ic and son Rivers, we are so happy to call Melville our home. We have taken full advantage of all the great commodities our community has to offer. From the schools that are just down the street, the many after school and community programs, to the small town feel of knowing your neighbours is what makes our city unique. The last 10 years I have had the privilege of teaching and caring for some of our community’s youngest citizens and worked closely with their families. I am extremely excited to continue serving Melville residence. Teaming up with RE/MAX Blue Chip Realty, I am able to pursue my passion of helping people, whether that is to help you find your perfect home or the best buyer for your current home.
