OF HOME WARRANTY OF AMERICA
purchase most people will make in their lives, it only makes sense to have a good home warranty to take care of unexpected situations. Melissa Harmon sees the importance of that in her job each day. As an account executive for Home Warranty of America, she loves working with REALTORS® to make sure the homes they represent are covered. “The REALTORS® are my clients, and their clients are my customers. I feel my responsibilities lie with both.” Born and raised in New Orleans, Melissa moved west after graduating high school to attend college at Arizona State University. She then did the college program at Walt Disney World and was hired after the program’s completion working there for three years. “I took a class called Cornerstone where we were assigned to do a SWOT analysis on a Fortune 500 company. I was assigned WorldCom in Jackson.” Melissa says she worked on her analysis for WorldCom and her project was graded by the WorldCom representatives. “When I was finished, they asked if I was willing to move to Jackson and work for them, which is how I got here.”
