"Work with someone local who was knowledgeable about the area, the market, and upcoming property listings. What a good decision that ended [up] being. We were able to secure our dream vacation home and it was effortless with Melanie leading us through the process. Not only did she help us every step of the way, but it was also easy to see that she had our best interests in mind. If you have the opportunity to work with Melanie, I would recommend seizing it."
