"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Melissa on a number of transactions, from both the buyer and seller side. Melissa is the hardest-working agent in town; any time I send a text or e-mail I get a response within minutes. She knows the market better than anybody in town, and has been able to get top dollar for projects that I’ve developed and sold. She keeps on top of all the deadlines and paperwork—all the details that I hate dealing with myself. She stays on top of things and gets things done."

"We sold our house with Melissa in the Summer of 2022. We were on a tight time frame to get our house listed; Melissa helped us find last-minute cleaners and landscapers to polish our home's appearance. She generated a professional and attractive listing that brought double-digit showings in the first weekend, resulting in multiple over-asking offers the following week. Melissa was organized and communicative; she gave us total confidence that we would never miss a deadline or important status update on the sale of our home. As a native Durangoan, Melissa's local knowledge and network was a difference maker in ensuring a seamless sale. Thank you Melissa!"
From Chris and Alex H.

We have bought and sold multiple homes and commercial properties with Melissa and having worked with other “top” brokers, we know there is no one better or even close.
