Meet The Team
Melissa Sorensen
Specializing in both suburban and rural residential sales, I love helping sellers prepare and stage their homes before going on the market. There’s such value in the little things – small repairs and projects prior to listing can have great returns for my sellers. I give my all to my clients and always strive to exceed their expectations. Our team strives for excellence. We provide exceptional value and a customer service experience like no other. Part of this includes a focus on client education – helpi9ng you understand the value of the investment that you’re making. I want to make a real difference for my clients, and that shows up in everything I do. The words of Douglas Adams really resonate with me: “To give real service you must add something that can not be bought or measured with money, and is sincerity and integrity”. At Snodgrass & Sorensen at REMAX RISING, this is who we are.
Jaiden Snodgrass
As a Bloomington Normal native, and a seasoned real estate professional, I recognize and value the trust my clients put in me and look to exceed those expectations every transaction. Since joining our local association (MIRA) and my brokerage, I’ve proudly maintained 40 or more transactions a year thanks to my amazing clients. Prior to entering real estate, I worked in sales at my families flooring and construction business. The knowledge gained from those years of sales in the construction industry has helped shape me into the agent I am today. Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two dogs, traveling, socializing, watching sports, and enjoying the outdoors. I look forward to being your go-to real estate contact!

“You are not like other realtors!” This is a fantastic compliment in my eyes. I specialize in both residential and investment sales, and I view every real estate opportunity with an investment-focus. Every home buyer needs to understand the value of owning real estate. At Sorensen & Yap Home Selling Team, we focus on helping clients understand the payoff and return on investment (ROI) for specific projects. I have experience flipping and rehabbing properties, and this skill set allows me to provide buyers with a realistic expectations of costs for repairs, updates and general maintenance. I try to utilize opportunities to be creative, energetic, and competitive. I began serving the Central Illinois market in 2015 – earning my license the same week our first child was born. If you have any interest with investing in real estate – whether it’s owner occupied residential sales, rentals, flips, BRRRR or house hacking – I am going to be an excellent resource to help you achieve your goals. When I’m not working with clients, you can find me playing my own brand of music I call #cornrock at a local bar or theater throughout the Midwest.
