What clients say about this agent....
Working with Melanie to sell and buy a home was such a wonderful experience. She made the entire process stress-free and incredibly easy. Melanie helped me make the right decisions at the right time and I felt supported through the entire process. Her team of experts, including a photographer and home stagers, did an amazing job of presenting my home. Because of her deep understanding of the market, I was able to sell in a matter of days and over the asking price. When I was ready to make another purchase, Melanie guided me to find the perfect new home, all while I was out of state. I highly recommend Melanie for anyone selling or buying a home; shes a true professional, trustworthy, highly responsive, a great communicator and an excellent advisor.
Melanie performed miracles! No only sold our old house above asking without even listing, but also managed to get us our beautiful new house in a crazy market. For a great price! Highly recommend.
Melanie was not only our real estate agent she also became our friend. She was in touch with us throughout the whole process. Because of her recommendations we sold our rental home. She excels at what she does and no matter what the obstacles she was always cheerful and pleasant to work with and a terrific listener. We enjoyed working with Melanie and we would recommend her to Anyone listing a property for sale.
Melanie responded the same day and she had already done her homework and had a full package with market data, comps and she had the contract ready to go if I was ready. There were over 35 showings scheduled as soon as the site launched and the house sold over the asking price - she is a professional, I highly recommend Melanie!
Melanie was the reason we found the kind of house we were looking for. She appreciated our desires and when a house that suited us beautifully but was not on our radar screen fell into our price range she immediately alerted us so that we could act quickly. We did and it worked out wonderfully.
Melanie is very knowledgeable and helpful in getting me contacts for carpeting, junk removal and spotting things in the house that needed attention that I overlooked. She was patient with me when I was feeling overwhelmed and getting stubborn. Selling this house was an emotional roller coaster for me and she was very patient.
We were delighted with Melanies professionalism and knowledge of the market. She had lots of great tips to help us prepare our house for sale. She gave us a factual market analysis that helped us understand how we should price our house. She is energetic and pleasant to work with. Our house sold in under two weeks and we were thrilled! I would highly recommend Melanie to anyone in our area who is looking for a Realtor who can get the job done.
Outstanding! Pleasant, friendly, and professional. Are sale was smooth and simple all the way through the closing. Couldn't be happier!
Melanie provided all the necessities to put our home on the market - professional photography, staging, listing on the MLS. We had a good amount of showings in the beginning but nothing ever materialized. After that showings were very infrequent. She had a few open houses (which were held not by her but by others). I felt these other people did not know our home so could not intelligently promote it's advantages. We finally got an offer after more than 5 months on the market. Unfortunately, Melanie had scheduled a trip to Switzerland and was gone for 10 days during the time of negotiating home inspection issues. There were major issues the buyers wanted addressed including a new roof, new windows, etc. We agreed to almost every point (insurance paid for a new roof, we repaired - not replaced 7 windows), had radon mediation, replaced/fixed posts to the screened porch, etc., all for almost $7000. When she returned from her trip, she felt we shouldn't have done so much, that these buyers were still looking at homes, that they would probably walk away. She had a very negative attitude. We did not see her nor hear from her for 3 weeks or more, till about a week before our closing. She complained our attorney was not copying her on correspondence, that she didn't even know the date or place of the closing. If this was so, why did she not contact the attorney. Our attorney advised us not to attend the closing, so we didn't. Everything went fine with the closing and our attorney called us to come and pick up our check at the title company. There in the parking lot, we see Melanie drive in also. She was not at the closing, but she had come to pick up her check. Later that day, Melanie calls us saying there was an error concerning the commission. We talked to our attorney who advised us that the closing is done and if she had made an error, then that was her mistake and she had to live with it. He was surprised she was not at the closing and suggested if she was then maybe the error could have been rectified before everything was finalized. She however has been calling, texting, emailing us for a couple weeks now wanting us to address this. We had been responding to her, but now do not. I hope she has accepted the consequences of her mistake. I wish her well.
Melanie Parsons was great! Melanie was one of three realtors in our area that responded when we were interested in selling our home. She came to our home, was very professional and did an awesome job presenting and staging our home. We got top dollar for our home and had an offer within 2 days!
