Melanie was raised in Salado. After her father, Bill Bartlett, moved his family to Salado in the early ’70s to start a career in real estate, Melanie attended/graduated from Salado ISD. Upon graduation, she attended the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor before transferring to and graduating from Southwestern University.
Melanie watched her Dad create and build a real estate company. She watched him help buyers and sellers make their dreams come true while providing for his family. After working a few years in the banking industry and having a child herself, she decided to throw her hat into the real estate world. Thirty-five years later, she is still loving her field of work, and most of all, finding the perfect home for each family to call their own.
Melanie has been active in the Temple/Belton Board of Realtors, serving in various roles such as President, Director, MLS Chair, Professional Standards Chair, and founding member of the Board’s annual food drive for over 20 years. Because of her hard work and dedication to supporting the real estate industry, she was named “Realtor of the Year” in 2014, and received the Leadership Award in 2018. She has also invested her time into deepening her expertise in real estate by becoming a Graduate of the Real Estate Institute (GRI), an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), and a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS). Melanie has also been incredibly involved in her community, having received the Community Builder Award in 2015 and Salado Mayor award in 2005. While she volunteers throughout Bell County, Salado has been her primary volunteer area, as she’s served on the Salado Chamber of Commerce, Friends Feeding Friends, and Salado ISD School board. Melanie also served on the board of the Salado Education Foundation for 7 years and loved awarding scholarships to the local Salado graduates each year.
Melanie has expertise working with residential property, investment property, and commercial property sales. She looks forward to putting her knowledge, experience, and passion to work for you.
We absolutely loved working with Melanie Kirchmeier for the purchase of our home! She was able to help us find our perfect home that had everything we were looking for. Always kind and helpful, checked in often, made sure she knew what our priorities were, and we were able to lean on her expertise when we had questions.

Having Melanie Kirchmeier as my broker on a previous transaction, I knew I would be receiving top quality service. Her knowledge and wise suggestions helped guide us through the entire process of finding our new home. She was always quick to respond to any questions I had. You could not ask for a more professional, yet personable agent. I highly recommend Melanie.

No one knows Central Texas real estate and especially the Salado community like Century 21 Bill Bartlett. It is such a pleasure to work with Century 21 Bill Bartlett and Melanie Kirchmeier. They make the home buying process so easy and as stress free as possible.
Melanie is the ultimate professional. She is respectful of your time, she anticipates your questions before you even know to ask, and she responds to your calls or texts immediately. She takes care of every detail as if she is the one buying the home. She keeps you informed and walks you through every step. She makes buying a home easy!
