About Melanie Haschek

Melanie's passion for style, design, and architecture seamlessly translated into a thriving career in luxury real estate. Before entering the real estate world, Melanie built an impressive career in fashion as a publicist managing global icons like Balmain, Christian Louboutin, Jonathan Simkhai, and Tom Ford. Working with top celebrity stylists and high-profile individuals, she honed her skills in fast-paced, ever-evolving environments, mastering discretion, adaptability, and relationship-building—qualities that now set her apart in the real estate industry.

Her expertise in publicity, marketing, event planning, and client management has become the cornerstone of her success, enabling Melanie to craft a bespoke experience for every client she serves.

Growing up just outside New York City and a proud University of Miami graduate, Melanie has lived in some of the nation's most vibrant cities. Eight years ago, her love for coastal living and sunny skies brought her to Southern California, where she quickly fell in love with Los Angeles and its diverse neighborhoods. Now a Santa Monica local, Melanie combines her bubbly personality, deep knowledge of the area, and sharp business acumen to help her clients navigate the real estate market with ease.

As part of Bryce Pennel and The Pennel Group, her attention to detail, fierce work ethic, and commitment to finding the perfect home for every client have made her an invaluable member of the team. In just four years, she has closed over $30,000,000 in sales and leases.

When she's not touring properties or meeting with clients, you can find Melanie enjoying the best of LA—at Solidcore, Equinox, Erewhon, or grabbing her favorite matcha at Community Goods. Dedicated, personable, and passionate, Melanie is proud to be a part of The Pennel Group and Douglas Elliman, helping her clients turn their real estate dreams into reality.
