Southern home interior
Hi there, and welcome to the official first blog of Melissa Burt! I’d like to take a moment to just simply introduce myself to those who don’t know me yet. I am passionate about a few things, my Faith, my Family, and my new Firm! My Faith keeps me sane, my family makes me happy, and my firm is my passion! 
I have been living and breathing Re years now, and have been so blessed to be working in a field that I enjoy and love. I started with a real estate franchise and have stayed on that path for the last 11 years. In January God started to lead me in my heart that it was time to break out of the mold, and go a different direction. A direction that would allow me to have the freedom to run the business they way I knew would serve my clients and my community best. This was a huge decision, but once I committed to the change I knew that it was truly the beginning of something beautiful. With my marketing and design background, this new freedom to create, advertise and market homes the way I feel is best, is such a joy! My mind has been freed and now I feel the possibilities are endless! So, in a few words, I am so excited to take this new journey, and I’m happy to have you along with me… to see just what we can accomplish together. So sit back, hold on, and prepare for an exciting new adventure! 
The logo itself for those who are curious and have been asking me what does it mean, what does it stand for?  It is a boxwood wreath, the circle represents eternity, the green is evergreen and everlasting, and the wreath means all are welcome here. I couldn’t think of a better, more fitting design for Burt & Co.!

What This Brokerage Means for You

When we set out to open Burt & Company, our goal was simple: to give buyers and sellers in Lincoln County, Fayetteville, and the Tims Ford Lake area the focused attention they deserve. This isn't about big-box real estate. It's about knowing the short cuts and the long way around, the school zones and the lake access points, and being present when it matters.

You can expect clear communication, honest assessments of property values, and a patient approach to finding the right fit. Whether you're looking for a cabin near the water or a historic home in Lynchburg, we work through each step together—from the first showing to the final signature.

From Tims Ford to Fayetteville

Lincoln County sits in a sweet spot of Tennessee. You get the calm of the countryside with Fayetteville just a short drive from the interstate. Tims Ford Lake draws people who want year-round recreation, while Lynchburg brings history and a slower pace. Each part of our market has its own rhythm, and we know how to match you with the right setting.

Expect realistic advice on pricing and condition. In this market, a well-maintained waterfront lot holds its value, and a comfortable family home in Fayetteville can move quickly. We help you understand what makes each property—and each neighborhood—unique, so you can make decisions with confidence, not guesswork.
