Legendary music industry executive
Pat Melfi has never been one to follow the beaten path, choosing instead to
pave new ground in his varied and celebrated career. Following a marketing
degree from the University of California Berkeley, his lengthy resume includes
MCA Records Vice President, originator of Burger King's iconic Have it Your Way campaign, and
preeminent recording artist, songwriter, record producer and concert promoter,
for which he received an astounding five Concert
Promoter of the Year Awards. In his career, Melfi has promoted, produced,
managed and handled international concert tours for a Who's Who list of music
industry icons: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Eagles, Elton John, Pink
Floyd, Rod Stewart, Alabama, Peter Cetera, Carol King, James Taylor, Reba,
Vince Gill, Meat Loaf and The Rolling Stones, to name just a few. His
unparalleled list of achievements also includes promoting/producing well over
50 records reaching #1 on Billboard's charts.
In recent years however, Pat
Melfi took a well deserved retirement in the majestic mountains of Park City,
Utah... and quickly became bored with a sedentary life of retirement.
In his previous career, Melfi
had naturally been involved in many successful real estate projects as far back
as 1992 and beyond. He took note of the many real estate opportunities
surrounding him throughout the Mountain West area, toying with the thought of
reentering the world of real estate sales and development. But the recent rash
of prominent entertainment industry deaths of those we would call legends, but whom Pat Melfi calls friends, helped him redirect his
priorities. He reactivated his real estate license and jumped back into the
business of actively living.
"It was a natural
extension of what I'd always done," says Melfi. "The whole music
industry is nothing more or less than connecting artists, or sellers, with customers, or buyers. As the promoter, I'm merely acting
as the agent. So I did my homework; I wanted to find the best agency in the
country to work with."
That research led him straight to top-ranked Keller Williams
where true to form, Pat Melfi's aim is to the top among new Keller Williams
agents. Due to his extensive contacts among the celebrity crowd, Melfi is expected
to instantly surpass all others in high end homes listings, crowning him Utah's
unparalleled Celebrity of Real
Estate. Yet he has also made a conscious effort to be accessible to buyers and
sellers of even the most modest homes and, as his reputation quickly spreads
throughout the region, is expected to immediately top that list as well.
"We're honored to welcome Pat Melfi to the Keller
Williams family and expect him to be our top agent in all areas in no time,
shattering all previous records," said a representative of Keller
Williams. "I've never before seen anyone in this business with the
professional assets, work ethic and real estate IQ that Pat Melfi brings to the
table. It's a privilege to have him on board..."Klair Gunn, Broker. Pat Melfi can be reached at 435-731-5100, 801-792-6970 or by emailing him at pat.melfi@gmail.com.
