Melanie was my buying agent, once I talked to her for the first time I knew I found an agent who was committed and dedicated to helping me find the perfect home. After discussing the requirements I was looking for in a house, Melanie sent me over a list of potential properties. It didn't take me long to find a property that exceed all of my requirements. Melanie was knowledgeable and helpful in the negotiation process walking me through every step. She had great recommendations for a loan officer, title company, and home inspectors. Everyone I spoke to who new Melanie from the realestat community spoke highly about her. I was pleased with the service I received and would highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell a house to call Melanie Desilets with Cummings & Company. 2020
Melanie was the listing agent for my property on Gelding Way. It was a pleasure working with her. She is knowledgeable with respect to the real estate market, and she has great insight into what buyer's are typically looking for. She gave me great advice on making minor improvements prior to listing my home to help get the best price. Melanie was also excellent at negotiating the final contract. She made the entire home-selling experience easy, and I would definitely hire her again. 2016
Melanie was amazing to work with. We told her what we were looking for and she found us our dream home in days. She was a joy to work with and had knowledge about the market and pricing. I recommend everyone to use Mel if you are looking to buy or sell, she is so easy to work with and she gets the job done.
I would recommend Mel to any inexperienced first-time homebuyer. I went through two other agents before meeting her at a showing for another home. One phone call was all it took! Mel didn't just show the properties to me, like my previous realtors had done. She paid attention to my desires for my home, and the kind of life I wanted to live. She negotiated an excellent price well below market value (140k for 1/4 acre, 3 beds, 1 + 1/2 bath, half-finished basement, sunroom, 2-car garage with a second floor), in a neighborhood I like.
Mel's personable, patient and friendly, and didn't mind my asking questions or just tell me "it's up to you." She's great at helping a buyer figure out what the buyer wants! She often shuffled her schedule to accommodate my needs, even though I wasn't a big spender. Expect to be shown homes that fit any criteria you give her, and honest responses to questions about pricing and affordability. Bring a pen and pad along if you're a nerd like me -- she has a lot of tips for new buyers, and you'll have a lot to learn!
