"Melane is an amazing agent! We used her services to buy our home and then 9 years later to sell it! That’s a true testament to how much we valued her. She is thoughtful about what advice she gives, taking into account your ideas and then giving her expertise. She never bullies you into doing things her way. She recommended terrific people to assist us and checked in regularly to follow up with the progress. Her knowledge about the ins and outs of real estate were invaluable. She has just the right mix of communication with you—never blowing up your phone, but never silent. She’s also very friendly and easy to work with! You will be in good hands with Melane as your agent!"

"We came to Melane at one of the most stressful times of the pandemic as we were moving across the country into a rental with our young children. She helped us secure an ideal home in a competitive rental market and then helped us on our journey to find our home. She knew which neighborhoods and homes best suited our needs, so we never went to any homes that did not work - saving us so much time and energy. In an incredibly difficult multiple offer market situation, we were able to secure our dream home and to navigate the buying process. Melane connected us to all the contractors needed to get the sale moving, knew how to negotiate the terms to best represent our interests and helped us find a contractor to transform our home into our dream home. Without her constant attention to detail, we would have been lost and are forever grateful for her going above and beyond for her client, as well as her extensive local expertise."
