Response from Melissa Adams, RE/MAX Realtor
Thank you. I am sorry I wasn't able to assist your daughter more. As I mentioned when she called me, the time frame and price point for me to find her a college rental would present challenges. While I do not service her area of interest, as a courtesy to you as an Angie' List member I was more than happy to assist by providing her with a list of rental listings in the area and price range that she needed so she could call the listing Realtor herself. I hope she managed to get a nice rental. All the best. Melissa

Selling a home can be a real trying experience. We are moving and needed a realtor. I searched Angie's list and was very fortunate to find Melissa Adams. She is one of the most professional people that I have ever had the pleasure to work with. From the day that she first came out to our house until the day of closing she handled every step of the process perfectly. If you are looking to sell or buy you will be happy that you called Melissa.

So far, Melissa was the most professional real estate agent we have been doing business with. She is very knowledgeable, friendly, and treated us like first class clients. We would use Melissa?s services again without having second thoughts. If you would like to receive excellent services with your real estate call Melissa.

This is the second time Melissa has helped us to rent out our apartment. She was professional, responsive, and nice. This time she even helped us to find a tenant who's willing to pay the whole year of rent up front. Melissa is the best, and we will definitely hire her in the future again.

We went to Melissa because she helped us over 4 years ago to sell our previous home as a short sale. Melissa listed our home for almost 2 years and never gave up on finding us a buyer! We were so pleased with her dedication that we gave her our word that once we would be able to purchase again we would only go with her. We contacted her and immediately began looking for our future home. She asked all the necessary questions in order to find us exactly what we were looking for. A few days after that first meeting Melissa had already lined up some potential homes and would email us daily all the properties that met our criteria. It was not long after, that we had a contract on our dream home. Melissa was honest and always looked for our best interest first. She educated us on what a smart purchase is and how not to get bullied by so many shady investors out there. Melissa was always available by phone, text, or email. Melissa was instrumental in the purchase of our new home and we can't thank her enough!
Description of Work: Melissa began by actually listening to our "wants" in our next home. She patiently showed us a few homes and never rushed us. We never felt like she was pushing us into the wrong home. It was a refreshing feeling as most people in sales are only concerned in their commission. Her diligence and dedication are evident right from the start. She was with us from the time we picked our counter tops and tile selection all the way until we did a final walk through where she pointed out things that needed to be corrected to our builder.

This property would have required a great deal of work to market as ready to occupy. Melissa listed the property and found a buyer within two weeks for a sale in "as is" condition. She worked with me to establish a fair price, showed the house to a number of prospects and represented me in responding to two firm offers and in negotiating the contract with the buyer. She is bright, energetic, and very well organized.. She managed every detail and kept me informed along the way. In her care, the process was seamless.

Looking to upgrade from our current home, my wife and I sought out Melissa?s advice on how to manage this most effectively as she was highly recommended on ?Angie?s List.? Our initial conversation was pleasant and she demonstrated a vast knowledge in the field of real estate. She exuded confidence in accomplishing this mission which eased our nervousness. Let me begin with describing our experience with her in the sale of our home. She was worth every penny of the commission she earned on the sale of our home. Having been both a buyer and a seller at the same time, we can honestly say that we were proud to have Melissa as our agent in selling our home because she outshined all the other seller?s realtors we encountered as buyers. She took the time to take lots of beautiful photos of our home which increased the number of buyers interested in coming to see our home. She communicated with me every day and kept me updated on everything. She arrived early for every appointment to show our home, taking the time to present it in the best light possible. When offers came in, she presented them to us with complete disclosures and her opinion, but left the decision entirely up to us. Included in the sales contract was a 30 day post occupancy agreement which gave us an opportunity to find a home so that we could move from one home to the other. The entire selling experience was short and sweet. Selling the house was easy in comparison to purchasing, but once again, Melissa really eased the stress that was involved by aggressively looking at homes every day until we found a home we liked. She was excellent at evaluating a home?s worth which is an invaluable skill in this seller?s market. Furthermore, Melissa goes beyond her duties as a real estate agent and she has helped us find contractors to fix our new home to our liking and has truly become someone we trust and respect. We highly recommend Melissa and will definitely seek her out for just about anything home related.

I was looking for some dependable, professional, detail orientated, trustworthy and not pushy. And I found these qualities and more with Melissa. She was there through all the facets of the home buying processes. She made the whole processes a breeze and I will definitely use her again and recommended her to everyone. Melissa thank you for my new home without you I don?t think it would have been turned out as smooth as the processes did.

The sale of our house went through with no glitches because Melissa was proactive, insuring that we had all inspections, etc. completed in a timely manner.
Description of Work: Melissa Adams was the listing agent for our home in Miami. As we live in Jacksonville, we needed a realtor who was dependable, professional, and cognizant of all the details, etc. of a long distance home sale. She was great. She kept us apprised of everything. She was constantly upbeat, returning our calls within the hour and held our hands through three contacts. Third time is a charm, I guess. Melissa opened up our house and was present for home inspections, termite inspections, and appraisals. I cannot praise her highly enough.

We first contacted Melissa in 2012 to discuss placing our home on the market. After researching comparable sales, pricing and possibly renting, we decided to wait. In October 2013 we called Melissa back for the same discussion and decided the time was right to sell. She assured us that she could sell our home within 90 days. The first buyer Melissa brought in made a great offer which we were happy to accept. The entire process from first phone call to closing was just over a month! Amazing! Melissa Adams knows her stuff and stands by her customers every step of the process. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again.

Melissa was a great realtor! I had previous experiences which were not so good with real state agents and wither the experience was a breeze... She found us a BEAUTIFUL home just as we were looking for it. Also she was very professional, punctual and not "pushy" For us to make a decision. She also went through all the process with me and given that it was my first time this was very useful... I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is buying a home!!!

I had previously observed Melissa's Ad in the Miami -Ft Lauderdale monthy member magazine and after speaking to her I decided to use her services, a few weeks passed by after speaking to her , and my wife and I were finally ready to sell the house we then contacted Melissa and made an appointment at our Miami West Kendal house.. We did a contract , and Melissa gave use some opinions about leaving some of the wall colors in a couple of rooms and she also recommended a color for the back yard patio ceiling. As I stated earlier the house was listed on a Thursday and by the following Monday we accepted one of three offers, and for a better than expected selling price. ! Melissa was excellent ! she was always staying in touch by texting or calling me with updates on the necessary documents needed for closing She also gave us a nice gift after the closing , which came in very handy on an UN-expected exterior Electric Meter repair ! My wife and I were so thrilled with Melissa's professionalism that we referred her to a friend of ours who also wanted to sell their home. If we would ever needed Melissa's services again, I would not hesitate to call her. Mike & Millie Cardenas- West Kendal Lakes, Miami, Fl

I found Melissa on Angie?s List and was immediately sold due to her great ratings. The comments about how good she is at guiding sellers through what can be a very stressful event convinced me. I?d been in my current house for over 15 years, but had retired 2 years prior and wanted to move to Nevada to be closer to my daughter. I felt pretty much overwhelmed by the idea of getting the house ready for sale ? decluttering to do, unwanted furniture to get rid of, repairs to be made ? it all seemed like too much. Melissa responded to my first call immediately, and came right out to look at what I had to work with. Right away she reassured me and made me feel that not only could I get my cluttered house ready, but also that she?d be there for me every step of the way to help. My house needed a lot of repairs, but she offered practical advice on what I needed to do and what I could ignore. She found me a very reasonable repairman to make the basic repairs. Whereas I would have tried to make a lot of repairs, she advised me on what absolutely had to be done and what I could save money on by leaving ?as is.? Actually, she saved me a lot of time and money with her advice. I truly felt like Melissa was the one person holding my hand in something that I know nothing about. Once the house went on the market, she took tons of photos for MLS to show it off. Everything worked as she?d predicted. Potential buyers came out immediately to look at the house. Melissa even was considerate of my aging arthritic dog, and worked it out that I didn?t have to remove him from the premises during viewings. Just as she?d thought, within 2 weeks I had an offer! Since my sale was to an investor, the approval process dragged out and required multiple extensions of the contract, but Melissa was behind me with encouragement all the way. She was the professional that I needed in my court. She even was proactive in lining up a second buyer in case the first contract fell through. Long story short, it all worked out. She even got my forgotten eggs out of my refrigerator (!!!) and forwarded a handful of mail that still came in to my mailbox. Melissa?s the best ? I give her a glowing A+ rating!

I have know Melissa for a little over 2 years. I originally met her through Angie's List when I hired her to rent my townhouse. At that time she found me excellent tenants. I called her serveral times over the past 2 years for help when there were small problems that needed to be repaired at the townhouse. She was able to recommend someone on all occassions. So, when my tenants moved out in August of this year I knew she would be the person to list the townhouse for sale. It was listed on Wednesday September 4th and by Tuesday September 10th we had a final contract. After many offers Melissa was able to get me my asking price in cash. She is amazing. Every step of the way she consulted me and advised me as to what was the best offer. There were a few bumps along the way, as all closings go through, but Melissa was there for me. We closed on Friday October 11th. Just one day over a month from the day the contract was signed. I would definitely use Melissa again and reccomend her highly. She is professional and definitely works FOR YOU, with your interests being of upmost importantance.

We were very fortunate to find Melissa. She met with us when we first expressed interest in selling our house and then kept in touch while we went through the planning stages. Once we decided to move, she was able to offer advice on presenting the house in the best manner and created an amazing website to showcase our home. She was focused on our needs and showed the house around our schedule. We always felt comfortable with her leading the process. Most importantly, Melissa was able to sell our home in a short time frame to a great buyer. I highly recommend her work.

It gives me great pleasure to recommend Melissa Adams as a Realtor professional. We worked with her a year ago but decided to leave the market for a little while. We were so impressed with her professionalism, positive attitude and fighting spirit that coming back to her a year later was a no brainer. She kept her cool through the struggles of house hunting, she negotiated difficult situations and she advised us correctly even when it wasn't what we wanted to hear. I have already recommended her personally and would do so over and over again. Trust me, you want her in your team. Thank you Melissa.

Can't say enough great things about Melissa! I contacted her after going through the reviews for a realtor here on Angies's list. Of all the realtors I contacted, she responded to my email right away. I met with her and I immediately decided she was the right realtor for my situation. Melissa is hard working, compassionate, very knowledgeable, an excellent communicator and very confident. She kept me informed every step of the way and succeeded in making this the easiest real estate transaction I have ever experienced in spite of the fact that it was long distance (I live in Colorado) and quite a challenging situation. I highly recommend her and absolutely will use her again if I need a realtor in Miami!!

After researching and interviewing more than six agents, looking at their ranking within company and among peers, expertise in the area our rental property is located, their education and of course that they haven't had any complaints filed against them?we decided that Melissa would be best fit for us and we are definitely glad we chose her as our agent! Melissa is well organized, very responsive (calls, text and emails), and accommodating to our expecific needs and tenant selection. Thanks to her hard work and her guidance, we successfully leased our rental property and got the full monthly price - which was great. Thank you Melissa!

Response from Melissa Adams, RE/MAX Realtor
After 33 glowing reviews I must say I am shocked by this members report. As a human, I had a slip of the tongue and accidentally asked her how many units the duplex had instead of how many bed and baths each unit had - which I immediately caught myself saying and corrected. All Realtors know what duplexes are, to say so otherwise is silly. As an investor myself, I have owned upwards of 20 units. To say I sounded confused is incorrect. I can't speak to what the member meant by "It feels like false advertising". She did ask if I honor my commitment to sell the property in 90 days or less and I said I do. There are some restrictions, naturally, but we never discussed them. With all that, the member wanted to meet with me to discuss selling her duplex. I agreed to meet but when I told her (on Friday, May 31st) that I was leaving town Sunday (June 2nd) for a week and could not meet with her until I got back, she said she can't wait that long and hung up - then left this report. Had she had the patience to meet when I returned from my vacation, she would have experienced the level of skill, dedicated service and communication that 33 others before her have enjoyed. If not, a simple "I'm eager and will try another realtor - have fun on your vacation" is fairly standard in polite society. I feel bad I was not able to service her due to my vacation schedule but feel a D grade was wholly unwarranted based on a 60 second phone call and never having met her much less worked for her. A pre-planned vacation should not be a reason to leave any negative review. I truly wish her success selling her duplex.

After looking for a home for about a year and a half, having been unsatisfied with our two prior realtors, and without success working on our own, we reached out to Melissa because she was the most highly rated local realtor on Angie's list, and we had worked with her briefly when we were considering a home for which she was the seller's agent. We met with her and explained what we were looking for in a home. She worked with us to set up a search criteria and we received regular computerized notice of any new homes or changes to listings. We looked at a number of houses with her and initially found none we liked. We kept track of new homes on the market, adjusted our search somewhat, and arranged to see any homes that interested us. Initially, it took a while because we didn't find what we wanted. Melissa kept in regular contact with us. She was always professional, responsive, and patient through periods when we saw nothing we liked. When we started looking at homes that had characteristics we had said we did not want, she gently reminded us of what we had previously said. Unlike our prior realtor, she didn't seem to forget what we told her, and she was not pushing us to move more quickly than we wanted. Ultimately, she arranged a viewing of a house we liked alot, and with her help we were the first to visit the home and the first to put down an offer. As we went through the inspection period she helped us find Angie's list well-rated mortgage broker, home inspector, and septic service provider. She arranged required appointments and met with them when we were unable. With Melissa's help, a difficult process moved smoothly. We are very happy with our home. After closing, she provided us with a $1,000 house warming gift. It was a pleasure working with Melissa. Her Angie's list rating is well deserved.

I needed to move to be closer to work as the hour long drive (each way) was starting to take it's toll on me. I interviewed, or at least attempted to interview, a few different realtors. I can't tell you the level of unprofessionalism I experienced with the other Realtors. From not returning calls to showing me houses in the areas I was interested in, I almost gave up. Fortunately, I then found Melissa. She worked with me to find a great house in a neighborhood that wasn't even on my radar . She's courteous and professional and always showed up on time (something that was very important to me as my time is extremely limited) Additionally, she helped me find a comptent inspector, hjandyman and mortgage broker. She helped to coordinate all the parties and made the entire process much easier than I imagined it would be. Basically, all I had to do was show up. I'm very pleased with Melissa's service and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.
