What My Clients Say

Melissa was our real estate agent selling my parent’s house. She was a huge help keeping us informed on all paperwork every step of the way. If you get her as your agent, you won’t be disappointed. We couldn’t have done it without her. She is the best and always calm and professional because she loves her job and and has her best interest for her clients. I would recommend her 100 percent!

What My Clients Say

Selling a home can be a challenge in the best of times. Grieving the loss of a parent and taking on that challenge seemed impossible. Thank goodness for Melissa, she supported me through the entire experience. I knew no matter what came up she would get me through to the other side. You know you have a strong, knowledgeable advocate when you have Melissa on your side.

Melissa was wonderful, from our first meeting to discuss selling the house all the way through the entire process.
