Esther Melcher

If Esther is your agent when you set out to buy your new home, know that you have the right person in your corner to help you navigate the complex, at times chaotic home buying process.

We worked with Esther to buy and our first home and we were so happy with her guidance, quick follow-ups, and patience to help us find our forever home.

After more than a year of searching on Redfin, my family and I finally decided to take the next step and begin looking at open houses in the city of Gilroy. From the little we heard from friends and colleagues as well as what we'd read online, we felt this city met our needs. However, this also meant that we were going to make one of the biggest decisions of our lives without a lot of first hand information.

We needed an agent who would know the area, explain trends that we should be aware of (where to look, which schools are good, how much to pay), and (most importantly) would actually have the time to make us and our needs the priority in this intimidating process.

We were paired with Esther through Redfin. We'd never met her before the first house we viewed together. In the first five minutes of meeting her, we were put at ease. Esther took the time to ask us what we were looking for in a home and why and immediately realized that the house we were in did not meet our needs. She explained the city to us and highlighted where we should look. She also sent us listings to review almost immediately and we found our home through her.

Once we expressed interest in our home, she set us up with Karla from Bank of America to secure our financing, walked us through every document that we would have to sign, and kept us on track to meet every contingency deadline to successfully close the house. We also didn't realize until closing just how much she had negotiated on our behalf with the seller and seller's agents and others in the process to ensure that we could successfully close on our home.

We would recommend Esther to anyone looking to buy a home. She is a thorough professional, caring, and she will be your ally to make sure that you get want you want in your new home.
