Melissa Adams, RE/MAX Realtor

Being from out of state, I called Melissa from the road and she returned my call within the hour. She was able to accommodate our tight schedule and meet with us the next day. She arrived promptly and she was instantly warm, friendly and engaged in the process as we showed her around my parents home. One of the first things I noticed about Melissa, that seems a rare social commodity, is her ability to not just listen but to actually hear what my husband and I were saying regarding our various predicaments with the sale of this property. Melissa easily provided creative ideas, solutions and resources in a lighthearted, yet caring manner, for solving some of those difficulties. She also pointed out many factors regarding state and federal law to consider. Her experience and maturity in real estate was obvious. She is a "natural" at this profession. Ultimately, we did not contract with Melissa as we decided not to sell my parents home at this time. Other needs arose within the family that changed the entire direction of our original intention. However, of the several agents we did meet with that week, Melissa rose to the top of the list and we would recommend her to anyone in the Miami area considering buying or selling a home!!

After speaking with "a guy" realtor on Angie's and feeling like I was not significant enough to him to come to the Kendall area, I called Melissa. She was incredibly professional on the phone and we discussed my needs. She later came to see my house and advised me what she thought the value was. I disagreed (as I was "hoping" it was worth much more) so she suggested that I get an appraisal done. Let me tell you, she was DEAD ON her value. I knew she was good when I read her reviews but could not believe I was so off the mark with the value, boy was impressed. She gave me a list of things I could do to make the house show better and to get top dollar and again, she was DEAD ON. The house went under contract at a value "above appraisal" that I am very happy with. Melissa stayed in contact with me the whole time, helped to coordinate all of the appointments necessary and more. Melissa has proven to be everything I read about here on the list and cannot recommend her highly enough to everyone.

This is the third time Melissa helped me to rent my apartment out. She reminded me a month before my contract was up. Since my tenant decided to stay one more year, this time I only needed her to do a contract renewal. Like always, Melissa was very proactive, prompt, and professional. We got this done within a couple days. I will definitely hire Melissa again for all property related issue, and I certainly recommend her to all my friends and family.

We definitely got our money's worth. Two houses fell thru at inspection, but she immediately had the next ones lined up and ready to go. Always punctual and professional. I feel the need to update this. when we turned the power on at our new house, we found the selling agent did update the panel box as we discussed during closing, but never got it done properly and never had it permitted. when we attempted to turn on a breaker, it shot a large ball of orange fire across my right arm. no one was hurt (maybe some arm hair and a quick rush to the bathroom) but obviously something was wrong. the selling agent (AKA the previous owner) wouldn't work with us. Melissa stepped in and helped us work the situation out. she will go out of her way to help, even after it no longer financially benefits her, making sure you are taken care of.

Melissa worked as our agent for both the sale of our previous home, and the purchase of our current home. While we like to think we are fairly intelligent, capable people, there were quite a few times throughout the process where we felt rather clueless. Melissa helped us to navigate unfamiliar territory, and went out of her way to answer all of our questions. She helped us through the somewhat humbling process of figuring out what we wanted, versus what we could actually afford! I daresay we were not the easiest clients, but she displayed the patience of a saint. She even helped us find a handyman to spruce up the old place and fix up the new one. Not to mentioned, she helped with translating as our Spanish is only kindergarten level. I would definitely feel comfortable recommending her to anyone looking to embark upon an adventure in real estate!

This was the first time we sold a home and Melissa made it so easy. She is efficient and timely when dealing with home sales. She knows how to appropriately price a home and pays close attention to detail so the home presents its self in the best light. She also provides a market analysis to help understand what offers to accept. She really helped us get top dollar for our home, and has guided us through every step, all the way to closing. We are very happy we chose Melissa as our relator and will always highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

SOLD! SOLD! SOLD! SOLD! AWESOME job Melissa !!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You calmed down my nerves through out the whole process when I doubted I was going to meet my deadline to sell my property. You were very patient and professional by explaining each step that we were going through. You ask for my input and when I had suggestions you listened, we talked about it made adjustments where and when needed. I am very satisfied with your service and will call you in the future.

It went well. Melissa submitted the pictures and made a some suggestions to improve the property presence. She e-mailed me some of the property price analyses for home currently on the market and other already sold, so I would have an good idea of how the market is in this specific area. I can tell she really knows how to sell a house based on all her suggestions. Mario

Everything went better than I could have imagined. Being first time homebuyers we had many questions which Melissa answered quickly and concisely without ever being condescending. Her communication level was excellent throughout every step of the process and not once did we feel that we were being less than completely taken care of. She guided us through every step of the process and during the whole process we never had to worry about missing a single deadline, step or piece of paper. She kept track of all requirements to be met. She also connected us with a highly professional network so that the purchase of our first home would be flawless.

We interviewed 5 Agents, Melissa being the first, and after 3 weeks of research, reading reviews, and previewing listings, we chose Melissa as our listing Agent. There were several reasons why we chose Melissa, most importantly was her personal commitment to market and show our home herself. Melissa spent a significant amount of time walking through the home, and since the property was on a greenbelt/common lakeview lot she also checked out the amenities that were accessible from the property that would enhance marketing the home (clubhouse/pool/tennis courts, large covered Tot playground, soccer park, walking/jogging path). Several of the other Agents had teams that would be showing the home and not one of the other Agents researched or viewed the amenities available with the property. Melissa did a fantastic job with all aspects of selling our home; the photos and video were great, she scheduled appointments as soon as the signs went up and had 4 showings the day the listing went online, sched an open house for agents and buyers, and distrubuted fliers to all agencies, resulting in an offer within 3 days of the property going on the market and a contract within 10 days!!!!! Since the contracted buyer was a financed deal Melissa worked with the buyers agent in sched all inspections, appraisal, and communications with the closing agency all while continuing to market the home for backup offers (2 backup offers were presented during the contingency phase of the primary contract). Melissa was diligent in following up on every aspect of the closing process and was instrumental in working through an oversite by the closing company that could have resulted in a significant delay in closing. We absolutely made the best choice in selecting Melissa to sell our home!!!

Ms Adams was a miracle worker. She came to our house to give us some pointers for selling and less then two weeks she found a buyer. She found buyers for our 2 condos very quickly even though the other units were up for sale over a year.The buyers took them as is. She made sure to communicate every step with us. Ms Adams was always available for any questions and she readily assisted us when we asked. During the closing of all three properties, she was available and very helpful. She also made sure to check for the completion with us and the buyers. Working with her was a truly wonderful experience and I highly recommend her to anyone .

I am writing to express my complete satisfaction with Melissa Adams as my Realtor. She did an outstanding job for us during the process of purchasing our house. She demonstrated the character and qualities that you look for in a realtor, very professional, knowledgeable, conscientious, and honest. I always felt like I was her only client. Thank you so much for all your patience with us and all of your hard work.

Called to get moving on purchasing a property. We set a date and she had everything ready for us with a plan at 9:30. We arrived at the pre-determined meeting point, and she was there. All showings were organized based on location. She knew the area well, and all numbers for the area she was prepared with, including rental data. Rare find.

Melissa was fantastic from beginning to end. My moving situation was complicated on many different levels. I was in the middle of selling my home in New Jersey, finding a permanent home in the Middle East AND trying to purchase a small home in Miami. Everything I owned, including my brain and sanity, was scattered in three different countries around the world. I had contacted Melissa a couple weeks in advance to see if she could round up a few homes for me to look at during my very short three-day trip to Miami. My price range was variable and I was open to anything between 100-300K, from condo to house/investment property for part-time living. As I tried to articulate what I may or may not wanted, I was aware of how broad the range of homes were and how difficult it was to decipher what I wanted (even for myself). She took it in stride, blocked out three entire days for me and she was able to put together a list of 10+ homes for me to look at. My price range was absolutely respected and she gave me an equal number of homes from low to high. I was certain she would try to sway me towards the higher priced homes, but she remained completely neutral. When I ended up buying a condo in the lower range, there was no evidence of disappointment and her engagement and willingness to help remained enthusiastic. The deadline for the condo application was the same week as my international move. I was crazed, overwhelmed and ready to give up on everything: the condo, selling my home and moving overseas. She kept me focused with gentle reminders and backed off until the closing of my NJ house. The closing of the Miami home was equally complicated as both the seller and I were in different countries. Melissa navigated us through everything. She has even deposited checks into my bank account - way beyond her real estate agent duties. Melissa is a hard worker, super pleasant to work with, completely professional and will get the job done. In the last two months, I have been in 6 different countries, 5 different time zones, sold a house, purchased a condo, found an apartment to live in in overseas and I owe much of this to Melissa. Thank you so much, Melissa! - Julia

Mellissa was excellent in all respects! I had the misfortune to have two buyers who could not get financing, and the situation dragged on for months because the buyers wanted the house but could not manage to get the backing of a lender. Melissa hung in there, keeping me updated and working diligently on my behalf. No sooner did one buyer fall through when she had several potential buyers looking at my house and doing her best to keep my spirits up. She was tireless. She finally got my house sold, and it closed 8/16/14 for the asking price which totally shocked me. I never expected to get full price. If ever I need a realtor again, you may be sure I will be calling her. I am recommending her to anyone who will listen. THANKS MELISSA1

Melissa was able to market my house with surprising efficency. She suggested some inexpensive improvements that gave the house excellent appeal and it was only on the market for a week and we recieved numerous offers. She was able to take care of the property throughout the whole process making things very easy for me while being stationed over a thousand miles away. I did not have to travel for anything.

Melissa was awesome! She contacted me right away to come and look at the house.She gave us wonderful recommendations on how to improve the appearance of our home, in order to sell it. After making some minor improvements to our curb appeal, Melissa took photos to put our listing on the MLS. We had appointments the next day! The first group of showings was attended by 8different families! Ultimately, our home sold in 5 days! We received multiple offers too! Melissa was confident she would sell our home in a few weeks, but 5 days? We were amazed!! Her confidence is most comforting during such a stressful time. She did all she said she would, and more! She goes out of her way to make the whole process as easy on the seller as she can, which is much appreciated! Don't use anyone else to sell your home!!!!!

Melissa was always knowledgable about every aspect of this long and tiring process. She kept me informed about every event and always helped me with the endless documents that I was required to complete and submit. Because of my lack of understanding of the short sale process, I could never have done this process without her patience and continuous help. She is a WINNER and a very valuable asset to the RE/MAX company. If there is an award for "The Best Realtor", she deserves it!!!!

Melissa contacted me almost immediately and discussed our situation. After looking through comps in our area she came to our house to see if we could get the sale price we were looking for in order for us to sell. She was extremely realistic with us and could have easily talked us into listing but didn't. She presented us with all of the information and even provided us a great recommendation for a mortgage broker to discuss our financial options. She also offered to show us listings in our desired price range to help us make an informed decision. Though we decided to "love it" vs. "list it" for the moment, we will definitely work with he in the future. Her candid honesty is hard to find and certainly something to be valued. She put forth more effort for a potential client than anyone else I've ever met. I highly recommend her.

Excellent service. Attentive to details. If you need to sell a house in the Kendall Area I highly recommend Melissa Adams.

Melissa has gone above and beyond of what we were expecting of a real estate agent from the first time we dealt with her years ago. She is always professional, fast, reliable, and trustworthy. My family has needed much help and professional advice with real estate, especially when the market had gone down, and Melissa always came through for us. She always answers our calls promptly, and has helped us with her good work and valuable advice many times sometimes months after she has completed any transactions for us - she is willing to help even when it is outside of the scope of her original work as a realtor, or if she has nothing to gain, except for helping out one of her returning customers. I fell that she is more than a realtor, she is a friend, and my family thanks her for all the great help she has given to us over the years!

I hired Melissa as my real estate agent to sell my condo in Miami Beach. From A to Z everything was handled very professionally. I would definitely use her again and would recommend her services to anyone. Thank you Melissa!

Melissa helped us sell our house in record time. She was well prepared from the first meeting with a solid price estimate that allowed us to sell the house not only in 4 days, but get multiple offers and a close to full asking price. She was there during the inspection and assured that the appraisal came in at the sales price. Given other experiences with appraisers this was a great relief. I would recommend her to anybody (and already did to our neighbor).

With 11 rental properties, my husband and I have dealt with our share of realtors so at this point; we pretty much know what we want, what we need, and what areas we will absolutely not compromise on. The realtors we have used in the past were just ?ok? but because of the amount of rental properties we have, we wanted someone dynamic that was on top of their game. Someone that would advise us rather than the other way around (we have actually had that happen!) We found Melissa here on Angie?s list and decided to contact her due to the great reviews she has and boy, are we did! Melissa delivered in every area and we couldn?t be more pleased. We met at the property and were immediately impressed with her knowledge and professional demeanor. The very next day our property was already listed with GREAT PICTURES that she took herself (believe it or not, in the past we have had to take the pictures ourselves because the quality and angles of the realtor?s pictures were so poor). Melissa was constantly in touch with us. She showed that she was on top of things and was working hard to get us tenants as quickly as possible. Within ONE WEEK we had 3 offers and this is where Melissa stands out ? every offer that she emailed us came complete with credit reports, bank statements, rental application, references? you name it. It was always a complete offer. We were able to sift through them quickly because there was nothing missing. It saved everyone time and made the selection process very easy for us. Needless to say, from start to finish, it took 2 weeks from meeting Melissa to having our new tenants move in. I would also like to add that Melissa dealt exclusively with the homeowners association and facilitated the application process for the tenants - something that my husband and I like for our realtors to do. She did so with incredible professionalism and accuracy. As a matter of fact, through no fault of her own, the incorrect application was first filled out and when she was made aware of what had happened, Melissa took care of everything, contacted everyone involved, and we were able to stay on track and get the tenants approved and moved in on time. I would recommend Melissa to anyone that is looking for a real-estate agent that WORKS ? both literally and figuratively. We will definitely be using her again in the future.

I was very skeptical about finding a responsive, responsible, motivated agent in Miami/Broward when I decided to sell my house. I had had bad experiences with real estate agents before, so, I took to the internet to search for someone I could trust. I found Melissa. She was everything I hoped to find in a Realtor. Melissa was wonderful. During our first meeting, I was impressed by how prepared she was and organized. She made me feel confident in her from the get go. Her assistant Tara made the showing process relaxed, and I had two excellent offers on my house in less than 10 days. Melissa walked me through each step with clarity and patience. I felt complete trust in her and she made the sell of my first home a breeze.
