The Importance of Working with a REALTOR

Not everyone realizes there is a difference between a licensed real estate agent and a REALTOR.  The latter is a member of the National Association of Realtors and is held accountable to a strict Code of Ethics.  It is important to work with a REALTOR when buying or selling your home.  Here is a short video ad courtesy of NAR and Realtor.com indicating the reasons for doing so.  I am a licensed real estate broker and REALTOR.  Call me for all of your real estate needs! ~Melissa

Melissa has a friendly and knowledgeable approach to her clients that lets them feel comfortable and secure with her as their choice of a realtor. I am very impressed with the wisdom and skill used to market my home. Melissa’s frequent updates throughout the sale process made me feel secure, that I had made the right decision to use her as my Realtor. Melissa is very patient and friendly. She was timely and and professional when we communicated during the speed bumps that all real estate transactions encounter. I really like the hometown feel of working with the staff at Newcastle Realty. You can really tell they care about you and your home. Highly recommend. I will use Melissa and Newcastle Realty again.
