As a first time homebuyer I was thrilled with the clarity explanations and expertise she provided throughout every step of the process. I felt well informed and genuinely listened to. My wants and needs were always taken into account.It is clear Melissa is highly experienced an expert in the Charlotte real estate market and a true difference maker in the buying process. Her craftiness and work ethic during the negotiation process saved me significant money and time. On top of all of that she is incredibly personable and very easy to work with which made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.I would recommend her to anyone and I fully plan to work with her again for my next real estate transaction." — Connor Love

"We began working with Melissa as we were casually looking to move from our townhome into a single family home. She took us to 20+ houses and learned from experience and figured out what we were looking for before we even knew. Eventually she found us the perfect house and assisted us with both the negotiations and securing financing. Once we found the house she quickly pivoted into getting our house ready for sale! She did anything she could to help and even went to Home Depot to get us extra weather stripping for our door which she helped us install. She has great contacts and put together a showing that stood out wonderfully online and in person. She was always down to run an open house and managed to sell our place in a tough market for townhomes! We would definitely recommend using Melissa both on the buy and the sale side!" — Rosemary Sirois

"As first time homebuyers we were anxious about the entire process. We weren't sure where to start and had a lot of questions. Melissa was incredibly patient as we looked at a lot of houses and took our time trying to make the right decision. Throughout the process Melissa was always proactive communicative and accessible.We were out of town when Melissa toured a house for us as soon as it went on the market. When she sent detailed videos of the home we knew we loved it. Melissa helped us make a strategic strong offer that was quickly accepted. It was great being able to trust her enough to buy the home site unseen.Now we are in our dream home and we couldn't have done it without her! She made the experience feel manageable from start to finish." — Taylor Coogan

She did so much research on every place we looked at (going so far as calling HOAs to ask questions) and we were often the first showing for most places.

"I can't thank Melissa enough for guiding me through my first homebuying experience. Not only was this my first house but Charlotte was also a new city to me. She listened to what I was looking for plus my budget and provided me with great knowledge of the city and what neighborhoods she thought I would like. In just one weekend we found the house for me. Melissa always acted in my best interest and ultimately negotiated a price below list (in the current market - that is unheard of!) with some additional credits. Throughout the process she kept me informed and updated on progress hiccups and everything in between. It was so nice to not worry and have complete trust that everything was being handled by a great person and professional. I am very thankful for Melissa and would not hesitate to recommend her and Cottingham Chalk to my family and friends." — Hillary Stanford

She listened to our interests desires wish list and delivered the most amazing place we could dream about! Thank you Melissa! P.S we already recommended her to a few people we know in Charlotte!" — Alex and Kristina
