★★★★★
"Our family was in the rare position of decidedly moving very fast in a COVID-19 2020 year and decided we wanted to upgrade and buy a new house. Melanie helped our family find a very unique and perfect new house AND sell our existing home, the later in 48 hours at a record price due to a careful strategy that she gets credit for. So that is two real estate transactions within days and both executed flawlessly that optimized what we wanted as both a buyer and a seller. Very talented and friendly with exceptional technical skills to navigate complexities. Most importantly she works super hard and places the customer first. We are believers."

★★★★★
"Melanie is a superstar. From pre-listing through well after closing, she has proven her knowledge, negotiating skills and determination to get the job done for her clients. We sold for top dollar, we’re in escrow in under a week and closed on time. I was most impressed, however, with her ability to handle the inevitable issues that come."

★★★★★
"We have not bought a house yet.....but we are in the process of looking and Melanie is helping us! She is thoughtful, earnest, hard working! We are Melanie fans!"

★★★★★
"We have been looking for a house for many weeks and it was very hard to find a place without carpets. After we met with her we found our new house in practically days. She was very knowledgeable and carefully listened to what we wanted to quickly find us a new home. We really enjoyed working with Melanie. Thank you!!!"

★★★★★
"Having Melanie represent us in our recent home purchase proved absolutely paramount. She advised us at every turn with an impeccable balance between practicality and caution, always preserving our rights while maintaining an amicable relationship with the sellers and their agent. This was our fourth home purchase. Melanie really stands out amongst her peers as an agent who brings a fresh and much needed (and appreciated) modern approach to the status quo."

★★★★★
"Melanie fought hard to find me a killer deal on a great property in San Carlos - San Diego. The property was priced aggressively and had 30 offers! Melanie worked her magic by convincing the listing agent that I was the best buyer and she got my offer accepted! Communication was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or use her again. 5 stars!"

★★★★★
"Melanie helped me find an affordable rental in an over inflated market. Returning to the area after several years, I was shocked to find the lack of available housing in the community I desired to live in. Melanie helped calm my nerves and was diligent in her search for me, keeping me in the know and helping me through the application process. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable and attentive to my needs. I would highly recommend working with her."

★★★★★
"Love working with Melanie. She knows exactly what I would love and not love. But she also is great at helping me create a vision and see potential in places I might not be open at first. She is quick with emails and phone calls. Very professional but fun and kind. She understands human nature, is sensitive and also patient during the very tedious and frustrating process of home buying."

★★★★★
"Melanie was the best agent I have ever had and I have had lots!! She was always there to take my calls, text's and emails. She was like "on it!" She handled the sale of my existing home and the buying of the new home. She made it happen that I could close both homes on the same day and move in the new home that very day!! She handled all the interactions with buyers, sellers and agents with ease and I was able to get top dollar for my home! She is so fun and classy to boot!!"

★★★★★
"Melanie was fantastic to work with. We had a challenging purchase with a very fast escrow and she was there every step of the way. She was available anytime and we felt she was looking our for our best interests. I would recommend her to anyone!"

★★★★★
"Melanie took the time to really understand what we were looking for, and patiently supported our process of finding the perfect house for us. She is a wealth of knowledge of all things and places SoCal, is proactive but not pushy, always punctual, professional, and she went above and beyond to get us a great deal. She is sharp and capable-- someone we trust wholeheartedly. We would use her again, except for the fact that we've now found our forever home, and never plan to move again! We recommend Melanie Fitzgerald without hesitation!"

★★★★★
"Melanie did an amazing job selling our place and getting us into our new house. She is very professional and responds in a timely manner. She is very patient with our never ending questions. She kept us well informed throughout the selling and buying process. She was definitely looking out for us."

★★★★★
"Melanie was over the top with Customer Service and attention to detail. She spent nearly 18 months, 3 offers, 1 termination and FINALLY, a close on a property that was in an ideal location and the size we were looking for. It wasn't easy, but she didn't give up! If you are looking for a reliable Broker who will help you navigate the sales process in San Diego, Melanie is your Broker!"

★★★★★
"Working with Melanie was a dream come true. We met for the 1st time on 8-15, by that afternoon she presented 5 different opportunities that fit my specific criteria. Three weeks later we were in escrow and now I'm a happy home owner! She was with me every step of the way and made this process smooth sailing!"
