Melissa matches buyers with the perfect property.

When working with buyers, Melissa wants to understand the kind of community in which the new home buyer wants to live, and she carefully assesses the affordability factor. "The numbers have to work," says Melissa. "I work to keep buyers within their comfort zone, so affordability is important." Melissa is committed to helping buyers find the right property, and she'll show as many properties as are needed to find the perfect match. For out-of-town purchasers, Melissa goes the extra step in providing a complete relocation program to smooth the buyers' transition into their new homes. Real estate investors can also count on extra assistance from Melissa with her property management requirements. As a real estate investor herself, Melissa understands the business from the investment point of view and will support her investors by helping them to get the property ready for rental and establishing a relationship with a property management firm.

Melissa is also technically adept, using local company Radar Hill Technology to provide her with a real-time property finder paging system. With her client's criteria entered into the live search, they are instantly paged when a property comes to the market. Clients will be immediately contacted if the property is a potential candidate for consideration.

Sellers can count on top dollar and marketing excellence.

Melissa believes in getting top dollar for her sellers. "I'm patient," say Melissa, "and I am not afraid of pricing aggressively." First, she do her homework with a complete Competitive Market Analysis to determine the optimum price for your property. Then, she implements an advanced promotional program to advertise your property in the marketplace. Frequent open houses are one of Melissa's hallmarks.
