Mike Vanderhoff didn't know the first thing about installing water purification systems. His wife, Melody, didn't know the first thing about building classrooms onto an existing church. But what they do know about is caring, hard work, and giving something back for all the gifts they've received in life. And that's why Mike & Melody gladly found themselves helping perform these and other tasks on mission trips to Third World countries.

Mike & Melody's mission trips with their church provide memorable moments for all of those involved.

An Adventure Every Time
Whether it's an excursion to Peru that included a 10-hour bus trip over the Andes or a voyage to a remote Venezuelan village on the Amazon, Mike & Melody's annual mission trips always result in a win-win situation. On one hand, Mike & Melody get to see parts of the world they never imagined they would and meet interesting people from around the globe. And on the other hand, they are able to lend a hand to those in need and bring about true change in the lives of those who need it most.

"It gets us out of our comfort zone and allows us to see things we've never seen before," Mike says. "But more importantly, it's extremely rewarding to be able to help bring about huge changes in the lives of others."

Faith, Family, Friends
Anyone who knows Mike & Melody will tell you their mission trips are simply an extension of the caring personalities they display year-round. Married since 1965, Mike & Melody are proud parents of three and enjoy few things more than playing with their grandchildren and spending quality time with family and friends. They are also longtime area residents whose devotion to the community is evident not only in their community involvement, but also – and especially – in their careers.

As a leading real estate team serving the 400 North Corridor, Mike & Melody take great pride in helping fellow area residents and newcomers with what amounts to most people's largest personal investment – their home. Combining Mike's business savvy built on years of owning his own businesses with Melody's persistence and strong work ethic, the Vanderhoffs form a great team whose caring approach to real estate is creating raving fans throughout the area.

As two family-oriented individuals, Mike & Melody take great pride in helping achieve their clients' goals.

The Golden Rule
Mike & Melody approach real estate the way they would any business – with caring. To them, what they do isn't so much about houses as it is about people, families, dreams and forging lasting relationships.

"Pure and simple, we love helping people," Melody says. "Our approach is to provide our customers with all the information they need to make their decision, but not to make that decision for them. Then, we do everything in our power to help make the transaction smooth and successful from start to finish."
