ABOUT ME - Melannie Vockeroth Realtor®

I’ve been lucky enough to be a Kootenay girl since 1971, and honestly, I can’t imagine living anywhere else. Rossland is where parents raised me, where my husband and I brought up our three girls, and where life still involves ski days, bike laps, mountain trails, fishing, gardens, and adventures with friends, family, and man’s best friend.

If you know the Kootenays, you know it’s not just a place — it’s a lifestyle.

Before real estate, I worked in home construction, design, landscaping, customer service, and inventory management — experiences that gave me a solid understanding of homes, people, and what makes a property truly work for a lifestyle. Add in growing up in a family of self-employed entrepreneurs, 15 years of competitive ski racing, and university years spent living in Alaska, and it all naturally led me down the road to becoming an owner and REALTOR® with Century 21 Kootenay Homes.

These days, I help people buy and sell homes throughout my West Kootenay neighbourhood in cool places like Rossland, Trail, Warfield, Fruitvale, and Montrose — whether they’re looking for a ski town getaway, a family home, a mountain bike basecamp, golf club or a full-time move to the Kootenays.

I see all of these communities as connected pieces of one amazing region, and I love helping people discover what makes life here so special. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a longtime family property, or chasing a lifestyle change, I’m here to make the process feel straightforward, supportive, and maybe even a little fun along the way.
