We worked with Melanie on the sale of our home and were very happy with the experience. Our home sold incredibly fast! Melanie's communication was top notch and we were kept up to date at all times. Negotiation points were handled quickly and deftly. The next time we're in the market for a realtor we will definitely be calling Melanie.

Melanie assisted us with our first home purchase in Durango. Needless to say, she made the entire home buying process easy and quite enjoyable. We did not know where to start when buying a house and what the process was. Melanie explained the process and made us fee confident when going under contract. Not only did she guide us every step of the way, she was able to give us expert tips and negotiation tactics to get our home for our price! She communicated with us constantly about what was needed from us and what the seller was thinking. We were not left in the dark at any moment. We greatly enjoyed our buying experience with Melanie and look forward to working with her in the future.

Melanie was very easy to work with. She knew when to press hard and also when to wait it out. Very happy to be working with her. So far a house bought and a house sold. She took care of everything and the experience was much less stressful because of it.

Melanie did more than guide us in navigating the complex world of real estate, she helped us keep track of dates in the closing process, she followed up in a timely manner and offered suggestions for us to consider in every aspect from inspectors to concessions. She made sure all of our concerns, wishes and dreams were addressed and was patient as we hunted for our perfect home.

Melanie did a great job selling our home. She told us exactly what we needed to do to get the house ready to sell, then organized awesome pics and even some drone footage for our ad. She helped us price the home to get the most value with the quickest sale, and was very helpful in orgranizing repairs based on the inspection. She was with us every step of the way, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home in the area.

I can't say enough good things about Mel. She sold our house in record time, 6 days from listing we had a full offer!! She is incredibly detail oriented and and always responds to emails and phone calls quickly. Her professional and personal attention to detail proved how much she cared for us as a client. Even though I know we couldn't have been her most important one, we felt like we were. I think that may be the best thing about working with Mel, whether you're selling the least expensive house in town or the most expensive one, she will treat you with the same level of respect and care. That reason alone is why she will be our realtor as long as she'll have us! Thanks Mel, we couldn't have sold our house without you.

We recently purchased a vacant lot in the City of Durango, CO and plan to build a house on it sometime in 2017.
Melanie helped us through a maze of challenges as we looked for the right property. We won't go into a lot of detail about the problems, - but will say that if you want to deal with a sincere and competent problem-solver, - a real professional, - then Melanie is your girl! Every time a problem presented itself, Melanie guided us to the solution. You will never regret choosing Melanie as your Real Estate Professional!
Thanks, Mel, - and best regards from Walt & Audrey.

Melanie was a great real estate broker. We found her easy to work with.
Her presentation when she was courting us for the listing was excellent. She's very knowledgeable about the Durango market and was great about giving us information about the market as the process went on. She was very available for open houses, she respected our wishes and demands, and was patient with us through the process of selling our home. She gave us plenty of notice for showings, and always gave us honest feedback. We never had any problem communicating with her, she was very available and returned our calls promptly.
The best thing is, she got the job done!

When I first met Melanie, I was approved for a bottom of the market purchase price and had my doubts that I would be able to find a home in this expensive town. At our first meeting, she tried to get a feel for what I was looking for and gave me hope that there was something out there. During the home search, Melanie shared her opinions when asked and was very supportive. It was Melanie that found my cute townhome for me. She was knowledgeable, honest, inspiring, patient, and responsive throughout the homebuying process. She was on top of things and negotiated well with the seller and lender. Best of all I felt like I had a friend at my side. I would definitely recommend Melanie for any real estate needs!

Melanie did a great job finding me my first home, and was a pleasure to work with. She listened to my needs and understood them, and set realistic ideas of what I was looking at. She did this by providing me a listing over the past 2 years of all houses that would be in my market and range that bettered helped my decision and weigh pros versus cons of each area. This allowed me to understand when a house popped up, what was the best option for me. I am ecstatic with my choice and Melanie was crucial to that process.
Throughout the process of purchasing, she was always available, very knowledgeable and helped me through the whole process keeping me informed. She was trustworthy and a great person to have at my side throughout. I was never confused by the processes and if I was, she was very good at providing clarification.
I would recommend anyone looking for a house to reach out to Melanie for her knowledge, understanding and patience to guide you through your next purchase.

If you manage to have Melanie as your agent, you truly have lucked out. We had just started new jobs when we found Melanie and we were usually only available on nights and weekends. Not only was Melanie extremely flexible, but she has the patience of a saint. She worked incredibly hard for us but still made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Melanie was professional, understanding, and returned every email and phone call immediately. We changed our mind on a couple different properties and she constantly went above and beyond for us, continued to follow-up, and treated us as if we were buying a million-dollar house.
Melanie was genuine and not afraid to speak her mind if she had concerns about a property, which I truly appreciated. She was also detailed and even remembered a house we had an interest in that was off the market at the time; she put it at the top of our list as soon as it hit the market and that was the house we bought.
Above all, Melanie was unequivocally kind throughout the buying process, which could not have been more valued during all of our weekend property visits and late-night phone calls! I cannot imagine a better real estate agent. She is a keeper and she will be the only one we call when we decide to purchase another home.

Mel was great with helping us buy a house. She sat down with us and really listened to what we were looking for in a home. We had come up with our own list of houses we wanted to see, and she scheduled showings for those houses but also suggested many others we might be interested in. The house we ended up buying was one she had picked out to show us, so without her we might have missed out on a great home. Even after we were under contact on the home, she was on top of making sure everything got done that needed to. Mel was so great to work with. She was available to answer any questions or address any concerns whenever anything came up. Now we have a great house to turn into a wonderful home thanks to Melanie!
