Melina Rissone was incredibly helpful on the appraisal of my house, providing prompt responses with comprehensive data to support the information provided. She helped me settle a divorce agreement and I appreciate how kind and supportive she was in assisting me thru the process.
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. She put the house on the market on a Wednesday. She arranged a showing the following Sunday. A man who looked on Sunday came back and bought on Monday. Melina Rissone and her crew took us through all the paperwork and held our hands while smoothing out the inevitable little glitches. She coordinated our move with the other parties. She was marvelous. Her standard fee was more than worth the effort and expertise that she put forth for us. We strongly recommend Melina Rissone for your real estate needs.

If you are a buyer, there is nobody who is going to do a better job of getting your offer selected. Melina Rissone is a true ace. I'm trying not to oversell her here, but she honestly is a legend. We worked with other realtors in the past, and compared to Melina Rissone I would describe them a s passive, soft, and indifferent. Melina Rissone is on a whole other level. She is incredibly aggressive, a skilled negotiator, and super hardworking. She's someone you definitely want on your side. Instead of waiting for us to send her properties, she was constantly finding us listings that were not found on Zillow that seemed like good matches for us. It seemed like she worked around the clock to get us the best possible home. Also, her knowledge of San Diego real estate is unparalleled. For example, she was able to tell us stuff like the soil quality in Santee and how that affects foundations out there. She was able to explain the laws around a complicated easement on one property and let us know the risks involved. She steered us away from a home at one point because she noticed it had a really bad drainage issue. If you are a buyer and are having trouble getting your offer selected, or you just want the best possible deal negotiated for you, you should contact Melina Rissone. She did an amazing job for us and put us in our dream homes.

The whole process was smooth and seamless. And she was most pleasant to work with. We recommend Melina Rissone without hesitation or reservation.
Melina Rissone was an absolute treasure to work with. The property we worked on had a number of issues and she worked with me, the seller, and all other parties to ensure we were able to close successfully.
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.
Provided a great tool to share information about houses. Worked with us to learn our needs and very proactive about putting potential properties in front of us even before they were on the market
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.
Melina Rissone and her team were awesome this year as we navigated buying a home in Normal Heights/North Park/South Park. She knows the neighborhoods really well and so was able to guide us based on our priorities. When we got discouraged based on the competitiveness of the market, she stayed persistent and dug deeper to find out how to make our next offer more competitive within our parameters. She was very communicative and quick and we always got the sense that she was working behind the scenes for us. We also loved working with Carla, who was really positive and helpful. We recommend Melina Rissone and her team highly!
