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!
