Melanie marketed our property in a Luxury gated Sea Island developed neighborhood and was able to receive 5-15% more for our property than for comparable marshfront lots sold in the same neighborhood in the same time period. She supplied beautiful drone photography and eloquently told the story of our neighborhoods assets, lifestyle, and value. She was prompt and responsive and kept us informed throughout the process. Melanie continues to keep us updated on the real estate market and trends as well as provide property equity and valuation estimates for our other real estate investments. Melanie is organized, calm, kind, creative, patient, fiercely loyal, and a tough negotiator. Melanie is a good listener who helped us determine a long range plan for our real estate portfolio based on our goals. We trust that she will work hard to help us meet our goals and that Melanie truly has our best interest at heart.
For anyone looking for a home in the St. Simons area, Melanie Barger is the only realtor you need to talk to. She is not at all shy about being homegrown to St. Simons and her obvious knowledge of the entire island was a tremendous resource to help us find exactly what we were looking for. It is a tough market for home buyers these days, with low inventory and higher prices, but Melanie showed us a range of what was available and she listened carefully to our feedback to zero-in on the area we finally decided to build and live. One of the key things we were looking for in our search was an area with a solid sense of "community". Melanie's warm personality, enthusiasm and love for everything St. Simons is a solid example of just what we were looking for in the community we now will call home.
Melanie was amazing to work with as always! Me and my wife used her to buy our first house over a year ago. When we decided we wanted to move houses, we knew exactly who to call. We looked over several houses and made some offers and found our new dream home. Melanie has great customer service, a great work ethic and great knowledge of the real estate process. We had a few unavoidable snags in our search but Melanie handled them perfectly. Will definitely be using her again next time we are looking for a house! 10/10
Melanie did a great job! She went above and beyond to find us the perfect home. She found me a house while I was living in Colorado. She went to the home and Face timed me and went over her concerns as she walked through a home.

It has been such a pleasure working with Melanie through this journey to achieve a lifelong dream.

We highly recommend Melanie for your real estate needs!
Melanie assisted me in the recent purchase of my condo on Saint Simons Island. Melanie's advice and guidance throughout the process was invaluable. Her experience having been raised and living the majority of her life on the Island has given her a unique perspective of the local market. With me being a first time home buyer, Melanie was always attentive and ready to answer any of my never-ending questions and requests. There is no one I would recommend more than Melanie to anyone who is looking to make what may be the largest purchase of their life.
After finding my perfect dream home, Melanie helped me quickly list and sell my house at the highest price in the history of the neighborhood. Melanie is a listener, a problem solver, and she figures out how to make everything work for her clients best interest. Ive bought and sold a lot of homes, and Ive never experienced anything as smooth as working with Melanie. If you need a realtor, she is the one.
After quickly and smoothly listing my house, Melanie helped me find the house of my dreams. Everything from negotiating huge repairs to following up after the closing, Melanie had my back 100% of the time.
My family and I would like to thank you for a smooth transition in the sale of my home in Kingsland, GA. The sale was effortless due to the tireless efforts of Melanie Barger. She is truly the best of the best. The sale began with one prospective buyer who became difficult immediately. Melanie handled this buyer promptly and professionally and quickly gained a new buyer who now owns the property. Melanie did not allow me to experience any hardship or anxiety during the entire sale transaction. Melanie is the utmost in professionalism and expertise in customer care. She truly knows her business. I currently have family members who are painfully experiencing a Seller's nightmare due to the inefficiency of the Realtor. I continue to give praises to your company this wonderful and kind Realtor. She was unfazed during the behind-the-scene issues and always kept me informed and encouraged. Melanie Barger is thorough to a fault, knowledgeable, persistent and diligent. I can say with a full heart that she is a blessing to anyone she meets. I am ever so grateful. S.L.
What a pleasure to work with Melanie in selling the home we had been in for over 32 years! The home where we enjoyed so many house parties, spend the nights as well the home where dogs, cats, birds and rabbits also lived. Throughout the entire process Melanie has been highly professional, cordial, and fun as well as person who always extends herself to go the extra mile!! Melanies thoroughness was reflected in meetings and telephone calls. She was so gracious to come to my new home often to discuss selling my house. I am so grateful and appreciative to her for her attentiveness to selling our home. Melanie consistently answered my many questions as well as soothed my anxieties about if selling our House and moving into a senior citizen compound was the right thing to do? It was! Whats more is with her top marketing skills, Melanie was able to line up a full weekend of showing appointments and have it under contract that first weekend. I highly recommend Melanie as a top realtor as well as I lovely lady of integrity.
I don't think anyone could have done a more professional job. She did a lot of extra leg work to make sure the sale went through. There was some missed understanding at the end of the sale that she she handled quickly. I will definitely be using her again on anything doing with real estate.
From the first time I was in contact with Melanie, she was responsive and helped guide me through my milestones. She helped steer me through the evacuation of a tennant and also in getting the property ready for listing. During the process, I at all times felt like she had my best interest in mind and truly cared. Melanie I cannot thank you enough!
There were lots of complications securing the property and Melanie took all my concerns to heart. From beginning to end, Melanie was friendly, professional, responsive and competent. Her attitude throughout was sincerely, What ever it takes. Melanie truly earned 5 stars, my respect and my highest recommendation! Jim Kirkland
After moving four times (all rentals) in six years since my divorce, I knew it was time to purchase my first home as a single person! Melanie was the perfect realtor for me! She knows the island and this market extremely well. She listened to my specific needs, creatively searched for homes in my price range, and set up appointments in a timely manner. Other realtors treated her with much respect indicating she works well within the real estate community. She efficiently guided me through all the details for closing on a home. And she found me the perfect home in a great neighborhood! Thank you, Melanie!
Working with Melanie recently to find our home was the most pleasant, professional and positive experience. I chose Melanie from the numerous agents in a small town because of her honesty, integrity and diligence. She considers all aspects of real estate, what suited our family needs, and current about many local listings. Her diligence was successful in winning our house bid as she promptly negotiated multiple offers. No delays. No excuses. Berkshire Hathaway is fortunate to have a steadfast, dedicated agent like Melanie.
Melanie helped me with the purchase of my condo. She set up showings and was knowledgeable about the market answered all my questions in a timely manner. But the most importantly she kept my emotions in check during negotiations preventing me from doing things that would have not been in the best interest of making a deal. The purchase is complete and I am happy with the outcome and am enjoying my new condo.
Melanie was great to work with while searching for a house! Her dedication and expertise helped all aspects of the home buying process flow smoothly. We hope to work with her again once it comes time to buy another house!

Melanie was referred to us by another realtor. Her mild and kind demeanor made her easy to work with. She offered great information while guiding us to properties that met our needs. She was knowledgeable about the area and the processes involved in buying our investment property. Wed definitely work with her again.
We had an absolutely great experience with Melanie as our real estate agent! She was incredibly knowledgeable of the market and was great to work with. Melanie provided helpful market analysis. She was always responsive and communicated well and understood and addressed any questions or concerns we had. Overall, Melanie is fantastic and we would, and often do, recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent in our area.
If you require the services of a knowledgeable realtor servicing the Golden Isles, Georgia contact Melanie Barger who will provide you with outstanding service and make your purchase as stress free as possible.

Melanie got far more for us than others who sold nearly identical beach cottages in the same location at around the same time using other realtors. And she was careful to come up with creative ways for us to realize an additional 6 months of high-season rental income on our beachfront investment property while the contract remained pending. So we got the best of both worlds. And her service is the best weve ever had. I dont think the phone has ever rung more than once anytime Ive ever called her. We will never list with anyone else. Period. Plus, she actually listens to you and works for you, and she hustles like no one Ive ever seen, rather than just sticking a sign in the dirt and throwing some pictures up on a website like we have had so many other realtors do in the past. Cant say enough good things about Melanie. She is a pleasure to work with best thing that ever happened to our little real estate investment firm. Dont waste your time with anyone else.
Melanie was absolutely wonderful representing me as buyer's agent. Her knowledge of the area market and all of the key players (local home inspectors, other agents, lawyers, etc) proved enormously helpful. Melanie's people skills and professionalism were also top-notch. We hit a snafu in our virtual closing and Melanie took control of the situation and provided a workable solution while I was out of pocket. I highly recommend working with Melanie for all of your home buying needs!
We were able to secure a backup offer in a buyers market. Melanie went above and beyond to assist me in the sale of my home and all of her suggestions I followed and they paid off.
Ms. Barger exhibited an excellent knowledge of the property we purchased, was always available to answer any question we had and was prompt for appointments and with communication.
She helped us have a smooth purchase and closing and never lost her soothing smile!
Melanie Barger is an excellent real estate agent. She has amazing knowledge of the real estate market and is professional. She works diligently to assist the client in any way she can. The long distance nature of the sale of my mother's estate was hard for me not knowing who to hire to accomplish all the repairs needed for the VA sale of the property since I was 750+ miles away and knew of no repair services in the area. Melanie had the resources for referrals of trusted contractors for maintenance and repairs required to satisfy a VA loan and her recomendations were prompt and efficient. She communicated with me constantly and answered all my questions and assisted me in anything I needed. I could have not managed the sale of my mother's estate without her. I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful lady. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a realtor.
Many thanks to Melanie Barger for surpassing my expectations! Her diligence, creative advertising and attention to every detail resulted in an exceptional outcome for the sale of my property that has been on the market for some time without offers. Furthermore, her foresight into the current real estate market generated additional funds due to a special stipulation for the resale of the property pre-build. In fact, I received a check in less than a year from the original sell. I highly recommend Melanie to my family and friends, including my daughter who recently purchased her first home with Melanies expertise.
Today we closed on our dream house! We would never have made it to the closing without our wonderful realtor! Her knowledge and expertise helped us close the gap with the seller, and find the perfect deal for all concerned! Id highly recommend her to anyone!
