She took the stress out of the entire process and I can’t recommend her enough!
Lynne Dillender
Moving to North County San Diego from Los Angeles. We had to commute to look at homes and absolutely could not have done it without Melissa’s help. We found our dream home on the first weekend and were able to close in 21 days. Melissa and her team are incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and great to work with. She took the stress out of the entire process and I can’t recommend her enough!
Thank You for everything Mel!!
Mark Shoemaker
We’re all settled in!! Melissa was a fantastic agent to work with!! She made this experience for a first time home buyer so easy!! I travel every other month for work and my wife is in nursing school. Melissa made herself available on short notice at hours well outside of the normal work day. She stuck by us through the ups and downs of a very dynamic 2015 and landed us our amazing starter home in 4S Ranch at a fantastic price! We will be giving her a call when the time comes to expand as our family grows! Thank You for everything Mel!!
I don’t know how you could give Melissa or her company anything less than 5 stars!
Heather Donovan
I don’t know how you could give Melissa or her company anything less than 5 stars! This women works tirelessly, day and night (er middle of the night, I should say) to get things done. She recently sold our home in RB and helped us find a new one in Oceanside… both closed concurrently! No problems or snags, and she and her staff went above and beyond to make it all happen! She returned texts, emails and calls within record time, and she always did it with a smile and made things fun! We couldn’t be happier with the service we received! If you’re looking for a dedicated agent, who is knowledgeable and reasonable with expectations, look no further than Melissa and The Avenue Home Collective. They will not disappoint. Thank you for your dedication Melissa!
