A few words from Melissa’s clients
“Dear Melissa -- Thank you for the help you gave us buying a new home and selling our town house. Working with you was more than a pleasure, you made things much easier for us: Your had so much patience as we found things wrong with all the first 10 or so houses you showed us and just kept refining the search for us. You found the inspectors for us when we wanted a pre-inspection on a 120-year-old house before we made an offer. You did awesome research and appraisal work to help us find a reasonable offering price. You handled all the price negotiations so easily, even when we were almost ready to back out of the purchase. Everything for the closing was so well prepared. You found us information about painters and screen windows and all those other things we needed to know. Thank you so much.” -- Beth Baker
Melissa – “You put together a great brochure for our selling townhome. Then when we had a buyer and the inspectors put something strange on the Inspection Report, you arranged for them to come fix it while we were out of town. You made all the arrangements for the gas company to come check for a leak and all I had to do was answer the door. In spite of us, you insured that our house sold. We both appreciate your patience, humor and persistence.” – Beth Baker and Ralph Gignac
"Melissa -- Thank you so much for all you have done for us in the home buying process. As first timers, we were expecting a much scarier experience, and we know that it was you working both with us and behind the scenes to make it very pleasant and easy-going.
