WE WILL FIND YOU YOUR “RIGHT HOME”…

SOLD!

Why Use a Professional?

Today’s market requires much more than seeing a listing you like on the internet, finding someone to get you in the house, making the Offer you want that is also accepted by the Seller, and then getting from Contract to Closing. It takes a solid systematic plan.--getting all necessary steps done in the right order and timing: providing proof of finances; making your purchase offer price and terms, negotiated based on Contract legalities, knowledge of the market, that neighborhood and that particular property; keeping up with the deadlines and accompanying paperwork, to get to Closing on the date specified in the Contract.

SUCCESS FOR “MK” IS CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS FOR A LIFETIMEAND US LIVING “THE GOOD LIFE” THROUGH REAL ESTATE!

Our Teamwork Benefits You

Realtors who work as a team tend to create the best possible outcome for buyers and sellers. They fill in the gaps and complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses to create a better experience and result for their clients. There are a lot of details to handle in a Real Estate transaction, and it’s very difficult for the solo operator to wear all the necessary hats. Team members collaborate, on important details and tasks, throughout the entire process. In our team, someone is always available to answer your important questions promptly. There is more effective communication, and the work is done more efficiently. We keep you informed throughout the process.


Double the service, efficiency, experience and brain power GETS YOU BEST RESULTS!

Rather than focus on the sales aspect, which should be a given with being a professional in the marketplace, we serve in both advisor and advocate roles. We educate our clients to make the best decisions possible and guide them, with a strong hand, throughout the transaction. Every step of the way, we monitor and perform our agent duties, to protect the best interests of our clients. We will tell the hard truths, at the risk of upsetting clients, because we put their needs before our own.

Our goal is to have a deep understanding of clients and their needs, and be a true advocate for them. We purposely made our brand to be about the client, not about us. We love our business, because it is about helping people “making moves” in their lives. It’s not just about them, changing addresses, and us, making sales.


Our Service Skills and Work Ethics

What Our Clients Say …

“You were a pleasure to work with and your detail-oriented style was a real asset to the process. You helped me make decisions and guided me through the entire process which included: evaluating the house, staging it for best possible presentation, marketing it, and finally the complicated steps of processing a Real Estate transaction. …We put my house on the market at a time when the Real Estate market was in a downturn and sold the house within 60 days; I noticed that two houses that went on the market around the same time as mine, are still unsold. My house wasn’t better than either of these houses in any way – the only difference was the Real Estate Agent that I hired for the job. I can’t think of any better testimony to your success than that!!!” Tim Grant

“It is under the most difficult moments in life, that special people are sent into our lives to bring sunshine. You certainly were a shining star during a very dark moment. Forever grateful with deep gratitude.” Annie Toro

“Melissa worked with my family and me to help us find the right home; and, never had I worked with a real estate agent so personal and genuine. With a large and indecisive family like mine, Melissa proved to be extremely patient and helpful. What I really enjoyed about working with Melissa was her honesty. I know that she cared more about finding us the right home than just trying to close a deal.” Paul Jamil


More Sample Client Reviews…

“…Through your diligence and exceptional personal service, you saved us hours of house-hunting time… With your close attention to our list of needs, you were able to help us find a home that was a perfect fit for us over the space of 1 day.” Gwynne Mason and Pat Kennon

“Just wanted to THANK YOU!!!!!! You really helped out 4 renters who will become buyers some day and they will definitely know the agent professional who helped them, to assist in buying…Others are envious of the perfect rental you found. Wish more agents had your devotion to helping people transfer from out of state and settle into VA.” Mike Parkinson

“I would recommend Melissa Klein to anyone who is looking for a competent, reliable, and committed real estate agent. Melissa was able to help my husband and me find a house during an extremely stressful time when we needed to move very quickly. Melissa understood our needs and the urgency of the situation. I was able to easily get in touch with Melissa who was great at following up on potential properties and following through on all that needed to be done to secure a house for us. Melissa was there during the entire process, and continues to follow up with us months after moving. Melissa always made us feel important. She worked really hard for us and we were clearly a priority. Despite my being frantic throughout the house hunt, Melissa was always patient with me and sympathetic to the situation we were in. I really enjoyed working with Melissa and we will definitely work with her again when we buy a house in a few years!”

Stephanie Ostrowsky Taraday



We found the house we bought the night before Good Friday. Melissa had told us she would be taking a long weekend off, but to contact her or her partner should anything arise. We visited the house on Good Friday-- Melissa put her own interests, and vacation, aside so we could see this house we loved and just had to see. Melissa was well aware of how fast the market was moving and knew we had to see the house immediately. Needless to say, two days later, on Easter Sunday, and still during Melissa's "time off," we had a ratified contract!!! Melissa and I were in constant contact throughout that weekend. I wasn't to worry that it was a holiday, or her time off-- she made us her priority. And we bought our house! Melissa could have had her partner handle the house purchase, or she could have chosen to say she was on vacation and not reachable-- but that's not Melissa's style- she is really working for her clients all the time. Melissa held our hands throughout the purchase and closing process. We continued to have questions and concerns, and she continued to have answers in a timely manner. Melissa and I are still in touch regularly. She has checked in on us to see how the house is coming along as we decorate and settle in. She continues to be available to answer any questions we have. Melissa is not just my Realtor, but a friend for life. I know I can count on her for all my real estate needs. Stephanie Ostrowsky Taraday
