"Melissa was extremely helpful when we first started our search and made sure to communicate with us to keep us in the loop. Melissa made the process as easy and low-stress as possible, and was able to negotiate with the other agent to accommodate our needs."

There is just no comparison for Melissa. I arrived in DC late on a Thursday night, having no idea where I would live and by Saturday afternoon I was signing the lease for the perfect apartment. When I decided I wanted more space, Melissa came to my rescue again. She is incredibly patient and has an amazing ability to find the places that match exactly what I'm looking for. I'd never use a different realtor!
