Melissa is a force of nature! Her knowledge, prompt responses, proactive troubleshooting and help finding folks to get condo market ready were indispensable. Much appreciated.
Above and Beyond
Melissa went above and beyond to help us sell our home! She was always available and helped in so many ways. She was very professional, knowledgeable, and even helped me pack and stage the house!
Amazing Attention to Detail
My husband and I recently had the opportunity to work with Melissa Shaheen in both selling our home and purchasing another home. We found a home we wanted to purchase, and Melissa helped us come up with a very competitive offer. The house had been vacant for 1+ years, so we wanted to make sure we knew what we were getting. Melissa met us at the house several times before helping us craft a competitive offer. Part of our offer included listing our own home within a week. This was not an easy task, especially with 2 teenagers and 1 five year old. Melissa helped us get the house show-ready. She brought in a stager at the end whose finishing touches made a big difference. The marketing materials and social media campaign really showcased our house. Pricing the house appropriately was a big concern of ours. Melissa spent a lot of time working through comps to help us come up with the right number. We listed on a Friday and had solid showings on both Saturday and Sunday. We accepted a very competitive offer the following day. Melissa did not disappear after our purchase contract and contract to sell were accepted. She kept in regular contact with me on inspections and other requests and questions we had. She met me at the new house several times, so I could have contractors planning work that needed to start as soon as we closed on the house. Melissa made sure everything was set with the bank and closing attorney. She was on top of everything. Her attention to detail and thoroughness made both transactions close successfully. Rob and I have purchased and sold several homes both in Richmond and in the Midwest. Melissa has been the strongest realtor we have ever worked with. I would recommend Melissa without hesitation to my family and friends.
Melissa was an amazing realtor! My wife and I were first time home buyers and we had a large number of questions. She was very patient in walking us through the process in finding an amazing home. She was extremely available and helpful from start to finish.
Melissa was Wonderful!
Melissa was wonderful! I highly recommend her!! I live out of town, and having a realtor as knowledgeable and dependable as Melissa was a godsend. During one of the most difficult times in my life, Melissa went above and beyond to make selling my father's house easy, smooth and low stress. I am beyond grateful for the personal attention I received and am super happy to give Melissa the highest review possible! :)
Ultimate Professional
Melissa was the ultimate professional while selling our family home. My sister and I were quite emotional when we sold the house we grew up in last fall. Melissa was efficient with staging, inspections and the closing. We couldn't have had a better agent. Thank you, Melissa, for your guidance and compassion through a sensitive time.
A Delight to Work With!
Melissa helped with the sale of my mother's home which was my sister and my childhood home. Melissa was a delight to work with and was very sensitive to the fact that it was an emotional situation for my sister and me. We had just moved our mother into a home and we were quite a mess. Melissa was great about working around our schedule and was as helpful as she could be. Growing up in the same neighborhood herself, we knew that Melissa had a vast knowledge of the area. It was a very quick sale and Melissa made it as positive an experience as she could. I would recommend Melissa to anyone. She is a sincere, genuine and trustworthy realtor.
Melissa was fantastic!
Melissa was fantastic! She helped me with every step of both selling my old home and buying my new home. She helped me prepare my old home for time-efficient sale. She also was a great resource for the services I needed for my new home.
Melissa is the Very Best of the Best!
Melissa Shaheen Berling is the very best of the best Real Estate saleswomen I've had the opportunity to work with and being a former broker in NYC myself I've worked with many. Her knowledge, professionalism, follow thru and her ability to prep a home for sale is extraordinary--especially since our family is out of state. This firm, with various capabilities including legal resources, is superb to work with. Melissa's personality and energy level made it a joy to work with her. I would recommend her to anyone needing to buy or sell a home. It has been a seamless experience--Thank you, Melissa.
