Melissa Reynolds

Melissa made selling our house as easy as it could be. She talked to us about a pre-market strategy and had our house under contract within 5 days of listing. She has great local contacts that provided prompt and cost-effective repairs which is difficult to find in the current environment. She stays calm under pressure and keeps the end goal in sight. If you are buying or selling in the Somerset Hills area, you need Melissa Reynolds.

We knew we were in the best possible hands with Melissa from day one. Her knowledge of the local market was crucial when it came time to decide when to list our house and how much to ask; we wound up with multiple strong offers. Throughout the entire process, she was very responsive and answered all of our questions. We knew we were working with someone who was able to take some of the stress off of our shoulders and get the deal done for us, and she proved herself trustworthy every step of the way.

Melissa was terrific. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the market and has a complete understanding of the area. She was responsive, took the time to understand what was important to us, and was a pleasure to work with.

Melissa was terrific. She worked with us to come up with a thoughtful and appropriate strategy which reflected her having a clear and accurate understanding of the market. She was responsive and provided consistently useful and informed advice while also respecting our needs and perspective. Her experience in the area and as an agent were incredibly valuable to us and she clearly had a positive impact on the process.

Melissa was exceptional in every aspect of the sale. Pre-sale consultation, market analysis, pricing, showing and post sale support were all spot-on. Her positive attitude and great communication were really appreciated. She is the best agent I've ever worked with by a large margin.

Melissa is a consummate professional who is experienced and was always available to address our questions or concerns in connection with selling our family home for over 10 years. Selling and buying a home is definitely one of the biggest financial transactions people will undertake in their lives and Melissa went above and beyond to ensure a seamless process. Melissa knows the community and surrounding areas well so is a great resource. She was able to recommend various contractors to us when we ran into issues with our own, a wonderful cleaning service to use prior to moving out (which we loved so much that we continue to use at our new house), and landscapers who were able to give our house the final finishing touches it needed to stand out in todays market. Our house was listed and under contract within a few days and to our surprise, Melissa was able to get buyers that offered above our asking price. I have no doubt that Melissa is the reason everything moved so quickly and without issue and would highly recommend her and her company to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

Melissa found us the home of our dreams in Basking Ridge before it was ever listed. Our list of wants was a tall order; the house she found for us exceeded every expectation. And, because it was never listed, there was no stressful (and unaffordable) bidding war.She also sold our home of 18 years for us. We asked for the process to be as painless as possible and she truly honored that. We went away for the weekend while the house was shown and came home to 20 offers, all over asking price. Her knowledge of the area and extensive network is invaluable both to long-time locals, like us, as well as those who are new to town.

Melissa's knowledge of our local real estate market and professionalism of handling all the issues that go along with purchasing a home is second to none. My Wife & I can guarantee you, you will not be disappointed if you choose her to be your agent whether your looking to buy or sell your home.

Melissa Reynolds promptly updated a spreadsheet each and every time a new offer was made on the home I was selling. This allowed me to make an informed decision.

We trusted Melissa to sell our home because we were impressed with her local knowledge, detailed analysis of the trends and comparable home sales, and because she asked the right questions and made sure that the home sale strategy and execution aligned with our priorities. Every step of the process was smooth and easy working with Melissa. She was proactive, responsive, and detailed-oriented. Melissa went above and beyond to take care of our needs: she skillfully communicated with prospective buyers to make sure our priorities were included in the bids, and she negotiated potentially deal-ending points with the buyer's team to ensure an acceptable resolution for everyone. I highly recommend Melissa to buyers and sellers.

Melissa was a delight to work with in every respect. Her knowledge of the area, efficiency and access to resources was invaluable to us as we navigated several hurdles to find just the right home. She addressed our concerns promptly and always with patience, flexibility and a positive attitude. We recommend her without reservation.

Melissa and the entire Carton-Reynolds team were an absolute joy to work with on the sale of our property and subsequent purchase. From our first meet to discuss our preferences, wants and trade space to our final conversations prior to closing, Melissa was responsive, dedicated and supportive. Melissa went above and beyond during the entire selling process providing us with expert guidance that was invaluable as we navigated the dynamic and erratic housing market. On the purchase side, Melissa was upfront and honest detailing the ins and outs of the town we were interested in and provided unmatched guidance and advice. I can honestly say that we would not have the amazing property that we have today without Melissa.I highly recommend Melissa and believe you will be amazed with the difference her talent and experience makes in the real estate process.

In a challenging real estate market for buyers, Melissa provided us with the confidence, insight, and timely action to execute one of the most important life decisions: where to move and which home to buy. At the start, she provided unparalleled insight on the local market fueled by her extensive relationships and many years of experience in the area; this insight tailored our search to only the neighborhoods and streets that fit our family's needs. Her knowledge of specific listings allowed us to be efficient with our time and only investigate prospects that could be a fit for us. When it came time to make an offer, she provided excellent advice and rapid action, allowing us to secure the home of our dreams. In addition to getting all the big things right, she goes above and beyond in the smaller areas as well, helping with vendor relationships and suggestions. We could not recommend Melissa more!

Melissa is THE BEST, which is still an understatement. As first time home buyers my husband and I werent super knowledgeable and had tons of questions. Melissa was there to answer any question, anytime, any day. Melissa provided great insight and observations during open houses and viewings. She explained key elements of the home buying process, home structures, home features, neighborhood features, etc. She truly is invested in her clients happiness and security when buying a home and it shows. Even after the purchase of our home Melissa has been available to provide local recommendations and answer questions we have as new home owners. Truly cannot recommend Melissa enough!!

Melissa was excellent from the initial visit all the way through closing. Her knowledge of the market, strong negotiation skills, problem solving mentality, and general kindness sets her apart from others. I recommend Melissa to anyone who wants to have a pleasant home buying/selling experience.
