The Ivy group is a powerhouse real estate team founded on integrity, professionalism, and personalized service. Comprised of Catarina Soares, Kasey Ritter, Melanie Davis, and Rosemary Jackson, The Ivy Group is the result of merging individual strengths, diverse backgrounds, and decades of combined experience to deliver a client-first approach with high-level expertise and market insight.
Catarina and Kasey, formerly The Ritter Soares Team, joined forces with Melanie and Rosemary to expand their reach and amplify their impact across Northeast Florida. Together, they bring a dynamic blend of local knowledge, global perspective, and top-tier service to every transaction.
Catarina Soares brings international experience, fluency in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, and an impressive academic background, including degrees from Harvard University (Strategic Management) and a Master’s in Real Estate from the University of Florida.

Licensed in both Florida and Virginia, Melanie excels at simplifying the complexities of buying and selling, particularly for those relocating or purchasing a home for the first time. Her recent move to Jacksonville with her husband and four children gives her a unique and personal understanding of the relocation process.
