Melissa is. man, she is just so freaking a good job at her job! I just don't know how to adequately emphasize how impressed my husband and I were with her. We had such a weird list of needs for a home, and we were operating on a tight timeline and a tight budget. We were so skeptical that we would actually be able to find what we needed and find it in time, but we did! We found the perfect property for our home, and our business and I can 100% say that we could not have done it without Melissa. She did more work than any Realtor® I've ever known. She was impeccably organized, ridiculously knowledgeable. And she was like a detective, sleuthing out tons of information about every home we considered seeing, or considered making an offer on. She really, really knows what she is doing. And another thing that she brings to the table is her incredible knowledge of a wide swath of eastern and central Pennsylvania real estate. We were hunting over a huge area, between Philly and Lancaster PA, and we really didn't understand a lot of the places we were looking. But Melissa did. She knew it all school districts, resale values, environmental issues, waning or waxing popularity and why, demographics, municipal regulations her knowledge was staggering. And her research and preparedness. I mean, I know she must have had clients other than us, but it truly felt like she was working for us round the clock, seven days a week. I just can't say enough. We were referred to Melissa through our loan officer, so we hoped she'd be decent. But we honestly feel like we stumbled upon the best Realtor® in Pennsylvania, and I'm not being hyperbolic. Just put your trust in her. I am telling you, you will see exactly what I'm talking about after about five minutes of talking to her. –Amy Y. & Vale B."

"First off, I should mention I have been doing residential and commercial financing for 30 years.

Melissa became my Realtor® 4 years ago, after my divorce, by spending 3 months just helping me find a place to rent. Since then I referred 3 co-workers and one, like me, took a long time just finding a place to rent; obviously, a small commission. Other Realtors®, I contacted 4 years ago looking for a rental, couldn't have been bothered. Melissa was calling and emailing me rentals up until 11:00 pm and must have taken me to 15 places over 3 months. So, when I decided to buy a home I went to Melissa who spent over 6 months, happily helping me all hours all day. I now have my home, again, very happy with my experience and caring that Melissa showed and last week one of my employees spent 7 hours and saw 11 homes with Melissa on a Sunday. This person loves working with Melissa; Melissa builds trust and she is a pleasant and great communicator. She sends updates in the mail and LinkedIn and handwritten notes often. She does it the right way! Four years ago I was dismissed by multiple Realtors®, now off a small rental commission, Melissa is getting rewarded. I will never deal with or recommend another Realtor® and I have been in the financial services industry for 30 years. –James W."

Melissa took charge immediately with staging photos for Zillow, and other platforms, suggesting listing prices and providing comp's, and negotiating with the owner to raise its asking price. She went live on Wednesday and scheduled the weekend for open houses. We had 37 visitors on Saturday and multiple offers on Sunday. Hence house sold in 5 days, which is what it’s all about After working with the owner on the pros and cons of the multiple offers, we agreed to work with the best buyer candidate rather than the best price. Terms were negotiated and agreed to in several hours. Follow-up emails and texts with Melissa and her associate were in minutes, just like a tag team, for the next few weeks and I was updated, as necessary. The walk-thru and closing were efficient, prompt, and painless. I was recommended to Melissa, and it proved to be spot on. I would recommend her to anyone seriously looking to sell, or buy for her knowledge, skill, and willingness to listen to every crazy question or concern. –Bernie S."

Best real estate agent ever! Melissa helped us with two transactions over the past few years. In both, we were remote and she ran point on the ground. The first was the home we were selling in PA. We were in CA, and our daughter recommended Melissa. Without even meeting her, she was able to get our house sold quickly. The second was a home we were buying in PA. Again we were in CA and had limited time to look at places during a quick visit to PA. Melissa worked with us diligently to understand our needs and narrow down a shortlist of properties to view. She nailed it. We found a great property that met our needs perfectly. During the closing process and an old title, the issue came up. This significantly complicated and delayed the process, but Melissa stood strong. She guides us through various revisions to the agreement, while the title issue was being handled and got us to close. We have no hesitation in recommending Melissa for your real estate needs. Like we said she's the best! Thank you, Melissa! –Gary K. & Sharon W."

When issues with the Buyer's bank arose, she dug in and kept her hand on the pulse. When the Buyers' agent was not available to give the Buyers a second look, she stepped in and made it happen. And at the closing, she carried the meeting on her shoulders (with professionalism and a smile). Melissa kept her hand on the deal's pulse. She kept up with market fluctuations and offered sound advice. She marketed our home on several social media outlets as well as the traditional methods. She gave us the information needed to make decisions along the way (negotiation, timing, etc). Melissa brings much to the table. Melissa provided us with the information needed during this process to make sound decisions. As Sellers of a home that we loved dearly, Melissa's advice, resources, and personable style kept us moving through the emotional transaction. We needed Melissa's professional expertise and you will too. Don't hesitate, work with Melissa Walter to get the deal done. –Herb & Joanne G."

She helped my wife and I purchase our home about 2 years prior. As soon as we found out we were moving we knew exactly who we were going to call. After a short conversation, we had our strategy set and photos scheduled. Due to her amazing marketing and great photography, thanks to Joel, we were able to get an offer in and completed before the house even hit the market. Melissa made everything go as smoothly as possible. From the first conversation, I personally had with Melissa almost three years ago to my continued friendship I have never questioned or felt persuaded by Melissa. She even connected us with a Realtor® here in Texas that she found through her connections. She is always there to answer a question or to provide support even to this day. Melissa will put your best interests first, always. –Dalton D. & Marianne K."
