"My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Melissa. We met her at an open house and invited her over to look at our house. By end of meeting we signed her up to list our home. With lots of great advice, and hard work from Melissa she got our house sold for more money than we anticipated. We will always cherish our experience with Melissa. She has become a good friend through the process. "

"Melissa met all of our needs as buyers! She listened to our goals and showed us the houses we wanted to see and offered insight on upcoming sales she knew of in the neighborhoods we were focused on. Without her expertise and precise negotiating skills we wouldn't be in the house we ultimately wanted. Melissa is truly the top of realtors. Class act! "

"Melissa McDonough helped me find my dream home! I had sold my family home and was looking forward to living near the ocean. The post Covid market was crazy and things were moving really fast. At the beginning, I had a pretty conservative budget and Melissa showed me many homes in my price range. The homes I was looking at were great but they were not the house I had been hoping for. After countless open houses, home tours and a few offers, we found the one! This house was perfect! It was at the top of my budget and houses had been going for way over asking. I actually cried the day we toured it because I believed it was the house for me but knew that with the aggressive market it would be unlikely that I would get it. Melissa worked with the listing agent and together we came up with a deal that worked for everyone. We had to be very creative with our offer and in the end the sellers accepted it! Melissa was there throughout the purchase and closing process and continues to be an amazing resource. I would highly recommend her! "
