Ridgewood
Attached yellow-brick two-family houses, built in long uniform rows. Much of the area sits within a historic district, which governs what an owner may alter at the front of the building.

Miriam Melendez is a licensed real estate salesperson with Terra Realty Group in Glendale. She represents buyers, sellers, renters and owners across Ridgewood, Glendale, Woodside, Fresh Meadows and the Brooklyn line, in English and Spanish.
Coverage
Each of these areas has its own housing stock, its own price range and its own reasons people move there.
Attached yellow-brick two-family houses, built in long uniform rows. Much of the area sits within a historic district, which governs what an owner may alter at the front of the building.
Active rental on Fairview Avenue
Semi-detached one- and two-family houses with front gardens, door awnings and off-street parking. Quieter and more residential than Ridgewood.
Terra Realty Group is on Myrtle Avenue
Attached brick houses with bay windows and raised stoops, beneath the elevated line. Direct transit access into Manhattan is what most renters come here for.
Active rental on 72nd Street
Low-rise brick apartment buildings set back behind lawns and mature trees. More space and easier parking, in exchange for a longer commute.
Across the Cypress Hills line, where brick gives way to mixed construction. Two-family buildings here are often bought by owner-occupants who rent the second unit.
Active rental on Chestnut Street
Services
The largest part of her practice. She confirms each landlord's income and credit requirements before a viewing is scheduled, and states the broker fee in advance.
Primarily one- and two-family houses. For buyers considering an owner-occupied two-family, she reviews what the rental unit is realistically likely to contribute before an offer is submitted.
Listings are priced against recent closed sales on the same block rather than against current asking prices. She handles photography, the OneKey MLS listing and all showings.
For owners who would rather not manage a building directly: tenant screening, filling vacancies and coordinating repairs.

“Miriam is knowledgeable, professional, responsive and kind.”
“She works with you. She pays attention to details. She is very good, and she cares.”
Miriam studied culinary arts before she came into real estate, and credits that training for the way she works now: reading the whole brief before starting, and attending to the parts of a transaction nobody sees.
She works from the Terra Realty Group office on Myrtle Avenue in Glendale, minutes from most of the buildings she lists and rents. Proximity matters more than it sounds. She can meet clients at short notice, and she knows how individual buildings are run.
Roughly half of her business is rentals, which is unusual for an agent with her sales record, and it is why a first-time renter receives the same attention as a buyer. She works in English and Spanish.
