I couldn’t have asked for a more patient, understanding, and caring person to handle the selling of my parents house after they passed away. Melissa held my hand throughout the entire process and helped to make what was a very difficult and emotional journey for me as easy as she could. Because of her expertise, openness, honesty, and professionalism I knew that everything would be taken care of and I did not have to worry about a thing. Because of everything that Melissa suggested and did, my parent’s house sold in record time and for more than asking price. I am so grateful for all of her help and for making things go so smoothly and stress free!

I had previously had Melissa Stevenson help me sell a home and buy a home. She is very qualified, professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I did not even consider using someone else when I was ready to sell my home. Melissa made the process so much easier than I thought it would be. She was a big help to me in all areas of the sale and in purchasing my new home. My home sold within days of being put on the market. Melissa did an excellent job of writing up the description, setting the price, and in all aspects of promoting my home to sell so quickly. She is an excellent realtor. I would definitely recommend her as an agent to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Melissa captured the essence of the home we had lived in for 13 years. She clearly presented that feeling in the written description of our property and the online Facebook teaser. Also adding the additional sign with the for sale sign to the front of our home was clever and drew added attention. She also did her required comparison to price the home fairly. We’d use her again in a heartbeat.

I will always recommend her HIGHLY to anyone who I hear is looking to buy or sell. Melissa is a true professional.

Melissa Stevenson sold our house. In 4 hours! She is awesome. She patiently walked us through the selling process and gave us excellent recommendations on economic improvements we could make to increase our chances of selling quickly and maximizing our sale price. She knows our market and target demographic well, and we ended up raising the list price just before hitting the market based on how well our improvements turned out. We then had an offer for only hundreds less than the listing before the end of the first day on the market. She was very responsive and attentive to our concerns. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thanks Melissa!
