Spring Forward on Sunday!

“I didn't know anything at all about the home buying process and really wanted to find a realtor that I could trust to guide me through the process and look out for my best interests. I definitely found that in Melissa!

Melissa took the time to understand my needs and was a strong advocate for me from finding homes to tour to negotiating contract details. She was on top of every single step of this process, very responsive, and always ready to explain things to me. I could really tell that she knew exactly what she was doing and that made me feel so much more comfortable.

Melissa sets a high bar, I will definitely be turning to her for any of my future real estate needs. I couldn't have asked for a better partner or experience.”

She kept in contact and was always available to answer any questions during the entire buying process all the way up to closing. I would 100% go to her again in the future and will recommend her to any friends or family looking for their future homes.”
