💛 There’s nothing better than hearing that our clients feel supported and cared for throughout the home-buying process!

I’m incredibly grateful for kind words like these and for the trust my clients place in me. My goal is always to keep you informed, look out for your best interests, and help make the real estate process as smooth as possible.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of such an important milestone! 🏡🔑

Kids and pets! How can we involve them when selling your home? I get asked this all the time and I have several strategies for both. 👶🐾

Okay so hear me out--in my phone, I have so many people saved by first name and then the last name is how I know them. (If I don't know them well enough to know their last name....)

So I have so many like this:
Heather Volleyball
Morgan Volleyball
Stephanie PTA
Chris LCCC

Etc. Etc. You get the drift. Anyone relate??? 😜

Okay now the reason for my post.

Go ahead and save my number in your phone as:

Melissa Realtor

Who needs a last name anyway?? 😜

That way when you need a Real Estate bestie, someone to ask that random question to about:

❓ "What's going in at X location?"
❓or "Man I need a recommendation for a good plumber pronto,"
❓or "My dream house just came on the market, who can show it to me??"
❓or "I know someone who is moving and needs to know what their house is worth"

You've got me saved in your phone, even if you can't remember my name. Just type in Realtor, and I'm a click away!

Thanks for coming to my rabbit trail thought of the day. And remember, save me as:

🏠 Melissa Realtor

Happy to talk whenever!!
