"I moved for work from Atlanta to Charlotte. Melissa was referred to me by a co-worker who just moved to a similar area from out of state. I was referred several different individuals, but Melissa responded very quickly and immediately "got" our situation with three small kids, tight move schedule, etc.
I wish there was a higher rating than excellent because she is the reason we made an offer on a new construction is the ideal neighborhood for an amount we could afford. I initially didn't even want to look at the house because I didn't want to be disappointed when we couldn't get the home. Melissa's unique insight into the situation and professional judgement got us a new house for less than what the house appraised for!
I have dealt with a handful of realtors over our four homes, and Melissa is/was the best realtor bar none. She restored my faith in realtors as a profession. This is not hyperbole in the slightest. I felt like our last realtors were a waste of money. I was happy she made good money from this transaction. For heaven's sake, she looked at homes through two hurricanes with us when I was visiting for interviews! She is the best!"

"Melissa was the selling agent when we purchased the home we just sold. We could tell by that experience she was someone who could get the job done.
We found ourselves embroiled with a most unprofessional buyers agent. Melissa was diplomatic and proactive, even while under personal attack. She remained professional in a most hostile climate that we have ever experienced in a real estate transaction.
As a human being, Melissa is one of the finest people we have ever met. As a real estate professional, Melissa knows how to carry on in the face of adversity and get the closing. As alluded to earlier, we were ready to walk away from the deal just to get away from the negativity. Melissa remained professional, chased down every opportunity to reassure the buyers and because of her the deal closed. Even when we were exasperated to the point of considering never selling, Melissa used her skills to keep us at the table. That was an amazing feat, and one that we will forever be grateful for.
Melissa is a thoroughbred in the real estate world. She deserves all of the praise we can muster. She is truly an outstanding agent. Helen Adams is lucky to have her."

"Melissa supported our informal research into the market for several years preceding our decision to purchase, which helped us formulate a very tight set of criteria and financial goals prior to making the decision to purchase a new house. Her assistance prior to any “official” house search made her the obvious choice for an agent when we became ready to purchase a new home. Melissa was commited to making sure we had proper expectations about the market, without discouraging our “ambitious” list of desires while remaining mindful of our budget. In the end, we found a great house, that met our criteria and we felt was a good value and a wise choice for our family.
Melissa is extremely detail oriented, organized, and efficient. She made everything easy for us to handle without leaving any stone unturned. She demonstrated the highest degree of honesty, integrity, and ethics and having worked with her to get to this point for several years... we recommend her because she is completely trustworthy.
Melissa has exceeded our expectations in every single category. We cannot recommend her highly enough."

"Melissa Brown was intimately familiar with the area. She knew the individual neighborhoods including the good and bad of each. She also took the time to compile and provide detailed information on local schools that was very helpful. She offered valuable insight that allowed us to make the best informed decision. Additionally, Melissa was a great source of recommended local service providers which is always nice to have when moving from out of state."

"Melissa Brown is one of the best professionals I’ve ever worked with, period. She truly cares about her clients and doing good work, she was always available for questions, last minute showings and meetings, and prepared me for everything, so nothing was unexpected. I will recommend her to everyone I know moving to Charlotte, whether they are looking for a home or not. If they will even think about it in the future, she’s a fantastic person to talk to and understand their needs and help them understand the process. She could not have made it any simpler for me."

"We had the pleasure of working with Melissa on both the purchase and sale of our house in Matthews and were immensely pleased on both ends. Melissa is incredibly knowledgeable on the area, listened to all of our wants and goals and guided us every step of the way. Melissa always had a plan, her execution was great and her recommendations were spot on. She provided us fantastic support and guidance throughout our preparation to sell and then nailed it once our house was on the market. We were under contract in 9 days!! Melissa Brown is amazing and we would recommend her to anyone!"

"Melissa Brown was incredibly helpful in our move to the Charlotte area from out of state. Not only was she very knowledgeable about the different residential areas, but she also provided great information on schools and social activities. She helped us in our home purchasing decision and was a delight to work with throughout the home purchasing process, helping ensure that we ordered all of the inspections we needed and answering an assortment of questions along the way. She also offered ideas and insights that were above and beyond the normal role of a real estate agent. I very highly recommend working with Melissa!"

"I was looking for a realtor who understands my needs and help me get to the finish line. Melissa had a great reputation when I searched her up in the internet, and I had real confidence she was the one when I met her & spoke in person.
One of the concern that I had before meeting Melissa was whether she will be readily available when I need her, for I was under the impression that she has many clients. But she was always there when I needed her and came back with feedback in short turnaround. She gave us great advice throughout the process and connected us to right people to make our home buying process smooth.
I’m really satisfied with what Melissa has done for me and my family. She deserves rating higher than Excellent. Thank you so much Melissa!"

"Melissa Brown is my go-to person when it comes to buying or selling real estate in the Charlotte area. I appreciate her dedication and honesty. By following her marketing plan I always get top dollar for my properties - and she makes following her plan so easy!!
When I have a question and on the rare occasion when she doesn't know the answer immediately, she will tell me that she doesn't know AND gets back to me with the answer usually within the day. She has a great work ethic and a great network of professionals to help with all aspects of dealing with selling and buying of real estate."

"Melissa Brown was wonderful throughout the process. She was patient, professional, knowledgeable, and very interested in what our personal needs and priorities were. She asked us many questions to determine what factors were most important to us and why. We felt that she was sincerely interested in finding the right house for us and was extremely helpful in making suggestions about topics about which we were uncertain. I would highly recommend her to anyone who asks."

"I selected Melissa because my daughter was also using Melissa as her realtor for the purchase of her home in Charlotte and was extremely satisfied. In fact without Melissa's quick professional response to my da
ughter,she felt she would have lost the home. Our situation was different. We were relocating also to the Charlotte area and needed a Realtor who would help us find a home quickly. Melissa is an excellent listener and pointed us to the perfect home which I fell in love with immediately. We bought the home and set our closing date for Sept 15. Melissa kept in touch with us regarding getting an inspection done and arranging everything. Unfortunately, Hurricane Irma came along which delayed our closing in our home in WPB Fl. Melissa was always responsive to our issues in WPB and coordinated everything necessary tomoving up our closing on our new home . I can't speak more highly of Melissa Brown as being a true professional who advocated, supported and got us through a very difficult situation .
Melissa was able to get us a significant discount on the price of our home even though we misses the deadline before the price went up.
Melissa went above and beyond"

She was extremely patient in explaining different "possible" scenarios at various stages of the house sale: evaluation of property, preparation for sale, negotiations with buyers, etc. She thoroughly explained any questions that ever came up & went out of her way to make sure that we understood all aspects. Thanks a million, Melissa!!"

"Melissa is a top notch agent with the highest level of professionalism, dedication and enthusiasm to get the job done. She was my listing agent in a $1million+ transaction which involved numerous layers of complexity such as removing old utility easements, overseeing warranty repairs, dealing with foreign owner FIRPTA tax issues and managing the staging and marketing process. Melissa performed in a first class way throughout the process and consistently exceeded my expectations in ensuring that the sale goes through successfully and without delays. The property went under contract within 5 days from listing and the sale completed in less than 45 days. End result was that both buyer and seller were happy. Above all, Melissa did all this whilst I was overseas and often unreachable due to my busy work and travel schedules.
I would warmly recommend Melissa Brown's services if you need an agent you can trust and count on to get the job done."

"In our case we were doing the purchase remotely from New Jersey so it was most important to engage with someone who was knowledgeable about the area, patient enough to work remotely and trustworthy as we were dealing with a particular situation that created a challenge in terms of communication. Melissa excelled in all of these areas
Prior to this purchase Melissa was awesome in working with my daughter (who will be living in the house) who is in the process of an emotional upheaval ~ she was both patient and understanding in managing her expectations / concerns, In addition she kept me in the loop (from New Jersey) throughout !
It was a great experience ~ easy, organized, on target and on schedule
In addition to the actual transaction, I think Melissa's personality made things fun ~ she is a very warm individual so working with her came easy. I have the feeling she has a good "read" of people and adjusts as appropriate. I am, by nature, an impatient person so her "cut to the chase" approach was SO APPRECIATED.
Bottom line = I would definitely recommend her and would be the first person I would call if I need an agent in the future"

"For a first time homebuyer, my wife and I were scared out of our mind that we would encounter major issues throughout our home buying process. Through much prayer, we found Melissa Brown and never looked back! Every single aspect of our home buying experience was flawless on her end, and we truly feel like we've gained a great friend for life! When the time comes to upgrade our home in several years - we WILL definitely go back to Melissa!
Whether it be the initial meeting we had with her to discuss our options or one of the many late night emails I sent her asking questions, Melissa was kind, professional and knowledgeable. Although we did not buy the most expensive home in the world (thus her commission would not be as much), she treated us as if we were buying a million dollar mansion!
Please - do yourself a favor, and use Melissa for all of your home buying needs!"
