I've had a great experience working with Mel and Erin. They are a fantastic team - kept on top of every little wrinkle of each transaction. First had to pull out of a potential purchase when an inspection revealed too many shortcomings with a house. Both Mel and Erin stuck with me, showing me several other properties before I found the right one. They have an incredible set of trade contacts (beginning with an excellent inspector) and their teamwork kept everything moving forward. Also wonderful ladies outside of real estate! Highly recommended.

Weve worked with Mel twice now with great success, both buying and selling. She has great instincts and her connections to great home inspectors, lenders, and other agents make the process go so smoothly. Weve recommended her to several friends and would recommend her to you as well.

I love Mel! I called her about some land that was for sell, back in 2016. Mel answered all of my questions, and if she didn't know the answer she would find the answer. She always got back to me super fast. Long story short, she's great at communication! She then We love her so much that we called her when we were looking for a house back in 2017 and then again this year ?? She has helped us with our housing needs 3 times now! We plan to call her again in the future :-) Not only has she helped us buy homes, she has also helped us sell homes!we always recommend her to our family and our friends. She just sold a house to my mother in law :-) One person you can definitely count on, and that's Mel!

Melda is superb. She is quick, friendly, smart and always responsive. She gives great advice and always meets our needs. We recommend her without hesitation for all your real estate needs!

Mel helped us stage our home, marketed it well and helped us sort through the offers received to pick the best one. She continued to be of assistance after settlement when we accidentally left something necessary behind and also dealing with the buyers.

After a terrible experience with another realtor, we were looking for someone experienced that 'understood' our property: an old house, downtown Fredericksburg from 1893, that is in good shape but still needs a bit of work. Melda was the perfect realtor that we were looking for! She took care of all of our concerns. As first-time house sellers we had a lot of questions that she patiently answered. Also incredible: her super good eye for details. She added the perfect decorative details to our house for the photo and video shoot. We would definitely recommend Melda at any time and want to take the opportunity to thank her again!

Melda was so helpful during our search for the perfect home. She knew all the neighborhoods and provided us with honest information that helped us navigate the areas we were searching in. We are not from the area so having a realtor with a good understanding of each neighborhood helped us make better and more informed decisions about where we wanted to focus our search. Melda was also so patient with us and never pushed us to make an offer on a house unless we were certain it was what we wanted. The market was pretty crazy when we were looking and we made offers on a few houses before we found our current house, but even with how competitive the market was, Melda always made sure we were comfortable with the offers we were making and provided great insight on whether some of the details of the deal were worth it or not. Overall, we were so incredibly lucky to have worked with Melda and we are so grateful to her amazing work ethic and drive to find us our home!

I absolutely LOVE Mel. In 2016 we called Mel about some land for sell. She immediately called us back and answered all of our questions. If she didn't have an answer for us, she would find the answer. I don't think it ever took her more than a day to get back to us on anything. She is very responsive! We love Mel so much, that we had her help us find a house as well. Whenever I need a realtor, I will call Mel.
