Melissa J.

  • Melissa listed and sold my home

      I've used Melissa for my most recent home purchase. She was referred to me from a good friend who had been using Melissa to help her sell their home. Melissa is very friendly and caring when it came to my needs and wants with the homes I had been researching. She was always available when i needed her and she would always return my calls or messages quickly. She is a wonderful realtor and anyone who is in search of a home would benefit greatly by working with her! I know i wont be moving for a while but when the next move does happen, I will be letting Melissa know!! Thank you for everything!

    • "Melissa did everything she said she would do. I had the home listed before and she hot me results with no hesitation she went to work immediately and got it sold for more than I expected and in much less time than I thought. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell!"

      - Linda, Colonial Beach, VA
    • "Melissa is a top-notch professional who communicates well and represented our interests. I would recommend her,This transaction required a lot of energy and stamina because the seller was a difficult individual. She remained focused on helping us close the deal in very trying circumstances.Moreover, she helped us even after the deal was completed, which we appreciate."

      - Greg Stricharchuk, Lottsburg, VA
    • "Melissa was very professional and upfront with her impression of our property. She is very relatable and my wife and I felt very comfortable in hiring Melissa to sell our house. We couldnt be any happier with what Melissa was able to do for us."

      - Richard Podruchny, Stafford, VA
    • "Went above and beyond in the purchase of our home in the NNK"

      - John Kuhnle, Tappahannock, VA
    • "I deeply appreciated Melissa's sound advice, professionalism, and experience. One heck of a Real Estate agent."

      - Doug Hawthorne, Stafford, VA
    • "Melissa Stewart went above and beyond to ensure the home buying experience was a comfortable and smooth as possible. Melissa coordinated everything and even stayed to help clean the house after the sellers left, because it was in a bad state. Melissa hired cleaning crews and performed above all expectations.When the Caldwell Banker Elite office attorneys all had to stay home due to an office wide COVID exposure, they worked around the limitations and made the closing process as seamless as possible with an attorney video conferencing in and one of the agents neighbors (legally) working as the notary. It was very impressive to see the lengths they went to in order to make things happen smoothly and on time."

      - Moroni Redd, Culpeper, VA
    • Melissa provided excellent realtor service. We used her to buy and sale our home. She is experienced in real estate sales, she performed thorough market analysis and she listens to your needs and provides honest advice. She worked for us and got our home sold so we did not have to carry two mortgages. I would definitely use her again and I highly recommend her.

      - Gretchen and Chris Anderson
    • We connected with Melissa without any recommendations. Our overall experience was great and we would recommend Melissa for the entire home buying experience. We gave Melissa a set of criteria for our home, and in no time she had provided us options to look over online and then scheduled tours for the homes we wanted to look at.In short, Melissa made it a breeze to find the right home and worked hard to get everything we were asking. I recommend giving Melissa a try because she will work with your needs in mind.

      - Anthony Knutson
    • My family was truly blessed to have Melissa as our realtor almost 2 years ago when we bought our beautiful home. She understood our needs from the beginning and worked extremely hard to meet them. During the process we encountered a little adversity with one home that we were initially going to purchase and had to restart our home search; Melissa's high patience was extremely crucial throughout which resulted in a smoother process than we anticipated. Melissa made herself readily available to meet with us to view more homes because at the time we were residing in temporary lodging. Once we identified our new home, Melissa did her research and used her negotiation skills to the max. We were very pleased to have purchased our home $30,000 under the asking price and one year later we could not be any happier with our new home and community.Melissa's experience was definitely evident throughout; she was very familiar with the area and surrounding areas along with the school districts. Our search went from Colonial Beach, King George, and Fredericksburg and she drove with us to view as many houses as we needed to see. Melissa became more than our realtor she is now a family friend.

    • i can not describe the experience I had with Melissa Stewart. She was so very knowledgeable and professional in her findings for me. I asked for a few specific items and she exceeded my expectations. Buying a home out of state was a hard process and she made it very simple and pleasant for me. She treated me like a friend and for that I am very grateful. She would be a person for anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you Melissa Stewart you are the best

      - Debra Barner
    • Melissa made sure that everything I ever dreamed of was found in the home we closed on. She is very hands on with making sure things are completed correctly if handled insufficiently. I would highly recommend if you want to find your forever home in perfect condition!!!

      - Jennifer Thompson
    • If you are looking to buy or sell in the Fredericksburg area, Melissa is your best option. She was fantastic to work with. She walked us through a very difficult transition to a new state, made sure everything stayed on track with our Realtor out of state as well and took the time to go over every inch of our process. She is kind, she is trustworthy, she gave us solid advice and we would like to recommend her to all.

      - Jim and Suzanne Lennier
    • Melissa was a jewel she helped me get through the sell while I am going through a separation and she kept my wife informed with no problem. I am not computer savvy so I had asked Melissa to text me the information and cc my wife. She did a wonderful job and everything went smoothly

      - Bernard Taylor

      - Gladys Nunnally
    • Melissa Stewart was the best Realtor we have worked with in the past decade. Her knowledge of our community and area was paramount in our successful sale. Due to Melissa we were able to exit our home with a sales price that was $20,000 higher than two other agents we interviewed.We were able to sell our home in 6 days, closed on schedule, and she even dealt with radon abatement and held closing at our home in the middle of packing and moving.We hold Melissa responsible for the best sales process we have had over the 4 home sales.

      - Roger Will

    • Everything went really well. Melissa found us a great house in a great location. Melissa was extremely knowledgeable about the entire area, and showed a variety of places. She was always very patient and she took her tome, which I deeply appreciated as a first time home buyer. She answered all the questions I had in a prompt manner, and explained everything well.
