"We were able to purchase our home with out a realtor on either said per the seller's request. This was a little scary for us but having Melanie in our corner made us much more comfortable. We are blown away at how easy and smooth everything went. Melanie's communication and hard work throughout the process was phenomenal! Everything was handled seamlessly and we closed on time. This is my second time working with Melanie and she has been amazing both times. I highly recommed her!"
