Melissa was an absolute superstar in helping me sell my home! She brought an unmatched level of professionalism, enthusiasm, and expertise that made the entire process seamless and stress-free.
What truly set Melissa apart was her dedication to going above and beyond, handling everything for me since I no longer live in the state. She was always available to answer my questions and kept me informed at every step. Even when unexpected challenges arose throughout, Melissa handled everything with professionalism and efficiency, coordinating with all parties to keep things on track.
Her passion for her work and genuine care for her clients made all the difference. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in selling my home. If you’re looking for an agent who will exceed your expectations, Melissa is the one to call! Highly recommend!
Melissa did an outstanding job with selling my home. Her attention to detail and advice was really showcased along with her professionalism. I would recommend anyone looking to buy or sale a home to use Melissa.
Melissa's passion shows with every interaction, phone or in-person. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and quick to respond. She has great recommendations for any part of the moving process from a title company to a roofer. Having lived the military life, she truly understands how to make military families comfortable throughout the entire selling or buying process. Would recommend her for everyone, but especially military families!
I'm military and had to find a nice home for me and the family for when I had to leave. I also didn't have a lot of time to work with and was buying remote. I don't buy homes everyday and Melissa really helped us find exactly what we were wanting based on what we showed her we liked. Internet sources make things easier, but impersonal, and buying a home is a big decision. Melissa kept us informed in real-time as if we were there and handled everything we needed during the process with personal touches, friendly attitude, and extreme diligence to her work. We got the feeling that she really enjoys what she does and we will work with her again and recommend her to anyone we can.
The best realtor we've ever come across. Recommend to anybody looking for a home. She's the best of the best and no one can top her reactiveness, honesty, and hospitality!
Melissa was able to help us through a long distance purchase of a home that was perfect for our family. Her recommendations every step of the way proved to save us time and money. Highly recommend her to anyone needing an agent in Louisiana.
This was my second transaction with Melissa. After my first transaction, going with Melissa was a decision that was a no-brainer for me. Her deliberate willingness to stay in constant communication throughout the whole process put my mind at ease. She is extremely knowledgeable of the local area, which was infnately valuable to me, when considering where to uproot and lay new roots down in Louisiana. She is personable on a level I've never experienced with other agents! Her thoughtfulness and care is blatantly evident; something I value and made it easy to put my trust in her, during this significant life milestone. Her knowledge and insight on every facet of of the home buying process was on full display; she was able to communicate each and every step to me with masterful precision, all the while being able to negotiate a price point that allowed me to walk into my new home with instant equity!!! I feel humbled and blessed that I was able to leverage Melissa's limitless talents.
Melissa was second to none in the buying process. To start I was an out of town buyer and had only been to the area once previously just for a few days. I found a home that was FSBO and Melissa seamlessly helped both sides through the process. Not only was she thoughtful and thorough she went above and beyond in making sure we could get what we wanted and enlisted the best inspection companies to be sure we were not walking into an unsafe home. Melissa made the entire process so seamless and with the amount of stress it was moving the 3rd time in 3 years she immediately alleviated the stress by taking charge in the sale. 10/10 would recommend Melissa in the purchase or sale of your home. Her knowledge, persistence, organization and leadership will help you on either side of the sale.
Melissa is hands down the best real estate agent we could have EVER asked for! We were a nervous wreck and had no idea what we were doing before Melissa. Considering this was our first time purchasing a home and being a military family living in Alaska. We have also never been to Louisiana and didn’t know anything about the area. Melissa walked us throughout the entire process, to include which school districts she recommends for our three children. She went as far as recommending the best home inspectors, lenders, and anything and everything we could have possibly needed. Even after our home was purchased and closed, she continues to check in on us and make make sure we have everything we need. She even made us a new home owner manual to help us navigate this new journey.
We never felt stranded or lost once Melissa was on board with us!
Melissa was absolutely the best possible agent I could’ve worked with. I started working with her months in advance ahead of my PCS. She worked tirelessly and went above and beyond anything I could’ve ever expected to help find the perfect home for my family. She kindly did video walk throughs and made sure all my questions were answered as I was not stationed here yet which proves she understands the extra needs for Military clients have. She was on my side and weathered the storm when things got rough, and I had to switch directions but that didn’t stop her. She was determined to find a home that fit what I was looking for. She truly cares deeply about her clients. I am so grateful for her help, hard work, and friendship!
Melissa Forney has been a complete joy to work with in selling my MnL’s house. She obviously cares about her clients every step of the way. If you need a realtor you should definitely give her a call!!
Was fortunate enough to find Melissa to help my wife and I find our home in the Bossier / Shreveport area. She was professional, quick to respond and understanding of the home we were trying to find. Within a few conversations she had 6 homes ready for us to tour. She always arrived first to the home and was quick to identify pros and cons to the home which made the buying process smooth and transparent. Melissa was such a huge help for my family. I would recommend her to anyone needing a knowledgeable relator.
Melissa was great at setting expectations before the sale and consistent throughout. It was a smooth process. Her contacts (staging and photographer) were key to the sale of our home. She constantly provided updates and kept the process moving including checking on the house periodically. We would definitely keep her in mind for future realtor needs.
Melissa was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire home buying process! Despite having at least 15 properties saved to our list to tour we loved the very first house we toured so much me put an offer on it which was accepted. Being a first time home buyer I had plenty of questions. She was able to answer any and all questions I had even if it meant reaching out to outside businesses outside of normal hours of operation. Melissa made an incredibly stressful process as easy as could be and am forever grateful. For anyone looking for a realtor that will go above and beyond for all of your real-estate needs Melissa will have your back every step of the way!
Working with Melissa turned out to be the best decision we could have ever made! During a busy and stressful time as my family moved states and transitioned from the military, Melissa made the process of preparing and selling a home so easy! She gave us great tips on preparing to sell that were affordable and effective. We were under contract within a week of posting! I couldn't be happier with our time and experience with Melissa. Thank you so much!!
Melissa was amazing!! She guided us seamlessly through our very ambitious sell date and was a complete professional in all details of our sale. She helped organize our needs, whether it was finding us glass services or roof repair…she did it all! We will always 100% recommend her to anyone we know!
A chance meeting at an open house led us to Melissa and the perfect home. We had very specific criteria for what we were looking for and Melissa worked hard and never gave up that we would find it. She is kind, patient, knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. She was there every step of the way and we knew right away we were in the right hands. Would 100% recommend!
Melissa is absolutely wonderful! If you are looking for a realtor that really cares, Melissa is your realtor. From the first time we met her I knew she was the perfect fit to sell our home. She is so fast at responding to messages and was very knowledgeable with any/all questions we had. She made the process of selling our home so easy. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone selling a home!
Melissa was a breath of fresh air during the selling process of our home. She was so knowledgeable and supportive of our very long list of wants/needs. She’s the full complete package. Whether it be advice on repairs, process or anything in between she had all the answers and then some. She also was available to us with any questions or concerns we had no matter the day or time. She went above and beyond with this process for us. We couldn't be more thankful that we found her and I will use her in the future! We truly recommend her for anyone's real estate needs!
From the moment I called Melissa to help sell our house, she never stopped working hard for us! She came within hours with a full sellers guide packet and gave honest advice to help us get our home show ready. Her photographer was hands down one of the best we’ve had for home photos with an incredible drone video! Throughout the selling process, she went above and beyond for me and my husband and it didn’t stop once we were sold. I cannot express how amazing she was and communicative she remained up to closing day. I am so thankful for her and all she did for us. Melissa was hands down the best realtor we’ve had!! Do not hesitate, hire her!!!
I've had more than a few realtors in The past 5 years and let me say, Melissa stood out FAR above what I was used to. I've never had a real estate agent so passionate about helping not only her sellers but the buyers as well. She's transparent with her marketing plan and pricing which made me feel so much at ease. After 4 weeks of having our home on the market with very little traction, we hired Melissa and in 72 hours we were under contract! She even helped with cleaning and repairs on the house after we moved out of state. I wouldn't trust anyone else in the Bossier/Shreveport area!
Melissa is a fantastic realtor. She helped us purchase our home from out-of-state by giving virtual tours, showing up for the home inspection, watching over the pest treatment, and was able to put us in touch with the best-of-the-best in local helping agencies to make the move as simple as possible. You can tell that she truly cares for her clients.
Melissa was recommended to us by a friend and we are so glad! She was easy to talk to, knew the area super well, and was an amazing advocate to us as buyers. 10/10 recommend
Working and getting to know Melissa is amazing! The military moved us to this location, my spouse and I were in different locations during the home buying process but Melissa kept us all on the same page. This is our 4th home purchase all in different states and by far the smoothest from touring the city to going through the mortgage process that Melissa recommended. I would highly recommend her for all levels of buyers due to her communication and knowledge of the process.
Melissa is a rock star! She was professional, encouraging, and helpful every step of the way in selling our house. In what can be a challenging time, she made it easy for us and we couldn't recommend her enough!
