She listened to what I wanted, she was patient with me, she helped point out issues with houses that I wasnt aware of, and she helped us negotiate a price and repair amendments. Really glad she was with us through this experience
Shes the best"

"Melissa was extremely knowledgeable and kept us informed about all things as we moved through the process. She made herself available to us and worked with our schedules whenever we were interested in seeing a home or needed guidance throughout the process. We really appreciated her honesty and tokens of knowledge when we walked through the homes. It gave us great insight for the little quirks about each home and important things to know. She made us feel comfortable and was so excited right along with us as we made our decision to purchase."

"Melissa captured the essence of the home we had lived in for 13 years. She clearly presented that feeling in the written description of our property and the on line Facebook teaser. Also adding the additional sign with the for sale sign to the front of our home was clever and drew added attention. She also did her required comparison to price the home fairly. We'd use her again in a heartbeat"

"We found Melissa by chance when we were looking at houses on Zillow, she showed us our first house. From that day, more than a year and a half before finding the one, she was amazing. My husband and I phoned/texted her numerous times for showings, and she was always so accommodating. She was patient and helpful, and really listened to our wants/needs. I will always recommend her HIGHLY to anyone who I hear is looking to buy or sell.
Melissa is a true professional. I cannot give enough positive feedback about the way she handled every part of our buy/sell process.
Melissa is so down to earth, and made us feel very comfortable during all communications."

"I had previously had Melissa Stevenson help me sell a home and buy a home. She is very qualified, professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I did not even consider using someone else when I was ready to sell my home. Melissa made the process so much easier than I thought it would be. She was a big help to me in all areas of the sale and in purchasing my new home.
My home sold within days of being put on the market. Melissa did an excellent job of writing up the description, setting the price, and in all aspects of promoting my home to sell so quickly. She is an excellent realtor. I would definitely recommend her as an agent to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

"Melissa Stevenson sold our house. In 4 hours! She is awesome. She patiently walked us through the selling process and gave us excellent recommendations on economic improvements we could make to increase our chances of selling quickly and maximizing our sale price. She knows our market and target demographic well, and we ended up raising the list price just before hitting the market based on how well our improvements turned out. We then had an offer for only hundreds less than the listing before the end of the first day on the market. She was very responsive and attentive to our concerns. I can't recommend her highly enough. Thanks Melissa!"

I am very impressed with the wisdom and skill used to market my home. Melissa’s frequent updates throughout the sale process made me feel secure, that I had made the right decision to use her as my Realtor.
Melissa is very patient and friendly. She was timely and and professional when we communicated during the speed bumps that all real estate transactions encounter.

We cannot say enough about how well Melissa does her job.
We ran to some obstacles with the purchase of our home and in dealing with the other broker. She was very persistent and great at keeping us updated as the details got worked out."

"Melissa did exactly what she said she was going to do and that was to sell our house. It happened so quick that we weren't focused too much on finding a house, but when the time came she steered us in the right direction. Melissa suggested we should write a note to the owner of the house that we wanted to offer on and that seemed to help during the negotiations. She will lead you through each step of the way and have the advice you need to make each decision. We would highly recommend Melissa Stevenson to anyone selling or buying a home."

"Could not have asked for a better home buying experience! My boyfriend and I were both first time home buyers and knew nothing about the process when we first contacted Melissa. She was incredibly helpful with telling us what we needed to know to make a good buying decision. I always felt like she was looking out for us at every showing to make sure we ended up in a house we would love. My only regret is that we found a house fairly quickly and didn’t get to spend more time with her!"
