Melina Tomson

Melina and her team are absolutely amazing! She served as the listing broker for a home my daughter owned in the Salem area and I would use her again in a heartbeat with absolutely no reservations. As a real estate broker myself (from a different part of the state), I can honestly say that I have never dealt with another broker as knowledgeable about her market area, or as skilled in her craft (getting a house sold at optimal price in the shortest period of time). Her attention to detail and ability to navigate the process with expertise and skill, while managing EVERYTHING (a lot of which you might not even know needs to be managed) is really next level. Only 5 stars is really not sufficient for Melina, but trust me when I say you will not regret your decision to list with her. Thanks for everything, Melina!

Melina Tomson and her team were top tier in every aspect of our transaction. I have bought and sold several homes over the years, and Melina is far and away the best real estate agent I have worked with. From the initial meeting where she outlined her processes clearly, through the preparations and inspections, all the way to the offer negotiations with the buyer, Melina was communicative and consistent. I had to help my mom sell her home as she moved to assisted living, so it was a very stressful time in our lives. Melina and her team were on top of everything and made it the best possible experience it could be. I just really admire the way she does business, and I would enthusiastically work with her again.

I highly recommend Melina Tomson if you want to sell your home quickly and at top dollar! When searching the Internet for a top producing seller's agent, Melina's name consistently appeared on a number of lists as #1 or #2. When I went to the Tomson Burnham website, I saw Melina has a happy list of past clients, a deep understanding of the Salem-Keizer market, and years of experience. When I first met with Melina, she was friendly, professional, a great listener, and came prepared to present her marketing strategy to me. I was impressed by how extensive and unique her approach is, especially her recommendations for a pre-sales inspection and a professional staging consultation (both paid for by Melina!) Her intention is to take as much stress out of the home sale process as possible for her clients. Melina made the sale of my home easy and almost effortless. While I took care of a few repairs found to be needed by my pre-sales home inspection and also changed things in my home based on the advice of the professional stager, Melina got busy posting a 'coming soon' photo and description of my home and immediately talking it up with other agents and brokers. To make a long story short, I agreed to two 'early' tours of my home by prospective buyers and their agents. I was surprised and delighted to receive a full-price offer from one of the prospective buyers - two and a half months before my home was scheduled to go on the market. Needless to say, I accepted the offer! From this point to the close of escrow, Melina clearly explained every step and every document, consistently prioritized my best interests, and responded to my calls, emails, and texts quickly. This allowed me to stay calm and positive. It was a marvelous experience working with Melina and I highly recommend Melina to any seller who is looking for an excellent real estate agent who delivers proactive and better-than-expected results!

I worked with Melina and had a great experience. I am a young, first time home buyer and she made sure I was understanding what was happening every step of the way while working with me to find good home options within my budget. With Melina's help the process became significantly less daunting and I ended up finding an amazing home with her help. I highly recommend going to Tomson Burnham if you are looking to buy a home.

Melina is an excellent realtor who went way above and beyond to make the sale of our house come together under very complicated and difficult circumstances. She is excellent!
