Melissa Hartmeyer
Owner
My career began as a corporate retail buyer, where I gained valuable insight into consumer behavior, operations, and vendor partnerships. For the past three years, I’ve served as Vice President of Sales in the home décor industry, where I’ve successfully expanded our business nationwide. Working closely with both buyers and franchise leadership has given me a unique perspective on building lasting relationships and driving results.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Communication from Eastern Michigan University, with a major in Organizational Communication and minors in Marketing and Psychology. Throughout my career, I’ve been known for my ability to connect with people, develop strong teams, and create growth strategies that deliver results. I’m excited to bring these skills to the content recovery industry, where helping families recover from loss is both meaningful and rewarding.
I’m hands-on in every aspect of my CRS business, from marketing and operations to hiring and training my team. My long-term vision includes mentoring my nephew as a successor and expanding into multiple territories across Michigan and Ohio. Integrity, reliability, and community involvement are values I hold close, and they align perfectly with CRS’s mission of serving families with compassion and professionalism.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, my doggo, and exploring new opportunities for personal and professional growth. I look forward to helping homeowners and insurance partners by delivering the highest standard of content recovery services.
