Seller Client
"My wife and I bought a new house... 51 years ago. We found that we needed to sell our house and move to a retirement community. We were extremely fortunate that Melina Rissone was recommended to us. She came to our home, checked it out, and went away to do her research and calculations. Before long she came up with a price range for our approval. It was well beyond our expectations, but she assured us that the place would sell quickly."

"Melina Rissone is meticulous in her work ethic. She was quick to understand and identify my needs while being careful and considerate of some details in my life. Outside of the educational videos, she goes above and beyond to make certain you are comfortable with your decision. She also followed up soon after."
J. C.
Seller
"Our entire experience with Melina Rissone was spectacular. She met with us, asked us what our goal was (pricing, timing and such) and then facilitated a plan to meet those goals. She was always available to answer any questions and also gave suggestions to make our house sell as quickly as possible for the best price. If we weren't moving out of the area we would definitely use her services in the future. We highly recommend contracting with her."
