"I worked with Janis multiple times for the past few years when I purchased investment properties in midtown, Atlanta. Janis clearly understood what I was looking for and provided as many options as possible to make my investment experience easier. Thanks to her knowledge as well as professional skills, all transactions related to the purchasing process went very smoothly with no issue. Janis is diligent, friendly, and also very responsive to all my questions via phone, text and email. Highly recommend Janis if you are thinking of buying or selling not only a primary living home but also an investment property in the Atlanta area. I am looking forward to working with her again soon." - Hawon K.

"Melissa is one of the best real estate agents out there! She helped me buy and sell my property and made the process fun & easy. As a first-time home buyer Melissa educated me on the process and helped me feel comfortable every step of the way. I couldn't recommend her more!L" - Kim C.

"It was a great pleasure to work with Janis. She was always available to answer all my questions and she advised me all the way until the closing. Janis's knowledge and advice were valuable as this allowed me to make the right decisions when I was looking at homes during the buying process. She is a professional who was always prepared to help me navigate through all the different aspects of this journey. I appreciate all that she has done and thank her for going above and beyond. Thank you Janis. " - Rahael A.

"Our home buying experience could not have been easier! Melissa was the best! Knowledgeable, responsive, and great suggestions for us as first time home buyers. She also wasn’t salesy or pushy like I had experienced from other realtors before we decided on Melissa. Next time we buy or sell we definitely will her again and recommend her to all our friends!" - Macy S.

    ★★★★★
"Janis was extremely thorough throughout the whole process. We put our complete trust in her and we were beyond pleased with the outcome. She was a pleasure to work with and was always available to answer any questions or concerns that came up. She was able to get us above ask offers within 3 days of listing. She made a difficult process virtually painless. We would definitely use her again in the future if the need arises. " - Evan L.

   ★★★★★
"Melissa was amazing from moment one! She's worked with many of our friends with their home purchases and came highly recommended which now seems like a total no-brainer. Her knowledge of up-and-coming areas and how future city developments could boost property value was invaluable for first-time home buyers such as ourselves. Besides that she's funny, nice, and so easy to ask what I'm sure are absurdly pedantic questions :) After we closed she assured us that we could contact her with any questions and that she would advocate for us if we had any issues. We will most assuredly be contacting Melissa for all of our future real estate endeavors. Thanks Melissa! - Two incredibly grateful homeowners" - Alex A.

"Janis was my realtor when I bought and sold my condo. She did an outstanding job both times I worked with her! Janis earned my trust during the buying process when she advised me to make a lower offer than I was planning on making, even though that resulted in her receiving a lower commission. The seller accepted, and I saved thousands of dollars. When I was selling my condo a few years later, Janis worked hard and was able to get my unit under contract for close to the asking price in just a few days. Janis knows the Atlanta market very well and is great to work with. If I ever move back to Atlanta, she’ll be the first person I call. " - Bradford B.

    ★★★★★
"Melissa went above and beyond to help us with both purchasing and selling our homes. She was patient, responsive, knowledgeable, and friendly to all parties involved in some quite complicated transactions. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anybody looking for an honest, trustworthy realtor who holds the best interest for you and your family." - Nicole K.

    ★★★★★
"Janis was recommended to me through a friend and lived up to all expectations. The one thing I thought she did an incredibly job as a first time home buyer was the education she provided around the process. She did an incredible job of making herself available when I wanted to view a home whether that be during the week post 5:00 or on the weekend. When we found something we thought could be a good fit, she took the time to talk it out with me to see if it made sense financially as well as hit the different things on my list. You can’t go wrong with Janis! " - Josh Y.

    ★★★★★
"Melissa helped me through the process of my home purchase with great knowledge and awareness of what I wanted. She took the time to show me a multitude of homes and was patient while I changed my mind many times!" - Drew K.
