Cristino Melendez

Before diving into real estate, I spent years serving others as an NYPD officer and FDNY firefighter. Along the way, I also became a licensed REALTOR® in New York. After relocating to Myrtle Beach, I found my true calling, helping families buy and sell homes while giving back to the heroes in our community. That’s why I founded The Heroes Agents, a mission-driven real estate brand that rewards first responders, military members, and medical professionals with financial perks at closing.

I work the markets, with INNOVATE Real Estate backing every transaction. Most of my business comes from referrals and second-time buyers, which tells me I'm getting the small stuff right.

If you're relocating, retiring, picking up a second home, or selling something you've owned forever, I'd rather have a 20-minute conversation than send you a generic packet. Reach out below.
