Saving You Time & Money
If you’re a seller - how much is your time worth? If you don't use real estate professionals like Melissa or Lisa, expect to spend at least 100 hours selling your home--assuming there are no problems!

There are constantly changing laws, ethical practices and practical considerations that you don't want to learn on your own through trial and error or relying on a book or information off the internet. It's just not worth the risk or liability. The National Association of Realtors reports that 89% of sellers were assisted by a real estate agent when selling their home. Your home is the biggest asset you will ever sell. It's important you do it right!

Testimonials
"We have used Melissa Johnson's expertise for the purchase and sale of a townhouse and the purchase of our current single family home. From the start, Melissa was a great listener, and used her expert realtor skills to find all the items we were looking for in our home. We appreciated her honest and timely feedback and knew she always had our best interest in mind. Our family trusted her negotiation skills during the purchasing process and were happy with the results of the sale of our townhome. In the future, we hope to use Melissa's services again when we find the need to purchase another home. We have also referred friends and family to her, knowing they are in very professional and capable hands. Overall, Melissa Johnson takes time to put a personal touch on what can be an overwhelming process for many. We appreciate everything she has done to help us create a home for our family. "

"Melissa was excellent in helping us with our decision to move. Our family unfortunately missed out on a home in multiple offers, however Melissa was great at coaching us on alternative options and helping us find our new beautiful home. Melissa was easy to communicate with and very responsive to any of our questions and always made herself available for any meetings needed. Thanks Melissa! "
-Jane & Hudson, Lakeville, Client
"I knew Melissa for a number of years before looking to buy a home. When I decided to take the plunge and explore home ownership, she was my first call. I was in a specific situation with very specific expectations because I knew the building I wanted to purchase a condo in. Melissa was great at meeting with my Mortgage lender and making sure I felt heard and understood each step of the process.... and a process it was. She told me it would be emotional, and it definitely was. I sent letters to people in the building I wanted to purchase in - though the process would move slow but it was so fast! It was great having Melissa because she was a partner for me when I was abroad for work during almost the entire process. I wound up viewing the condo I had always wanted (which Melissa loved and saw the vision I had come together), and paid full ask. Melissa had the best contacts for home inspection, gave great advice and tips for being a first time buyer, etc. I'm so happy with Melissa!"

"This whole home search process has been much more pleasant with both Melissa and Lisa. We appreciated their patience when we did not have a clear direction when we started, . . . how they responded quickly to our urgent requests to view new homes as they came up, . . . .and the kindness they demonstrated when we changed our minds. Melissa and Lisa eased our anxiety when we started to feel hopeless. Their expertise ensured our success when we did find the right home so that we won against 16 offers! "
