When my family and I moved here almost 2 years ago we had never been to the area prior but were connected with Melanie. She helped find us the perfect house to make our home and was our rock while obstacles kept getting thrown our way. Now we are being relocated earlier than we originally expected. We didn’t think twice about who we wanted to help us through the process of selling our home. She has been phenomenal through the entire process whether it has been helping get the house ready for showings or to just be there for me as a shoulder to lean on. From the first time we met Melanie she treated us as if we were family. She is honest and fights hard for her clients. One of my favorite things about Melanie too is the relationship doesn’t end at the closing table. We were truly blessed to have her as our realtor when we moved here and we are so incredibly thankful to have her by our side while we prepare for our next journey!
I can’t say enough great things about Melanie. She is such a genuine and honest person, which is exactly what my husband and I were looking for in a realtor. In our three year search for a home, Melanie walked through several homes with us, always giving us honest feedback. She truly cares and wants to find a home that suits your family. She made our home buying process so smooth and easy. I would highly recommend Melanie to anyone!
Melanie cares about her clients and does a wonderful job. She’s holds your hand through the whole process and does not make you feel stupid. This is coming from someone with anxiety that often feels that way! She gives it to you straight and ALWAYS gets back to you. If she knows you aren’t comfortable with something she addresses it immediately and talks it through with you. I will be using Melanie again and referring her. Buying your first home is stressful but Melanie has eased that stress to the best of her abilities. She will also fight for you hard and ensure you are coming out happy in the end. 10/10
Melanie and Ashley are the absolute BEST people to work with when it comes to buying or selling your home. They are so loving, considerate, patient, the list can go on. When my fiancé and I found out I was pregnant, we really wanted to find a home before I had the baby. Not only did they make that possible, but they made it SO EASY. It was our first time buying a home, and they always answered every question so gracefully, they stuck up for us when there was setbacks, and they were genuinely happy for us when everything worked out. They stay in touch and they make us feel loved, and we can’t wait to bring our baby girl to our new home!
Melanie was very professional but also personal. She wanted to know our needs and she fulfilled them with the homes she showed us. Very knowledgeable about the area and very helpful in our financial goals. We would highly recommend her to anyone
Melanie Sanders and her team did an outstanding job helping us sell our home. Her knowledge of the local area and real estate in general were above and beyond. She is super friendly and fast responding to calls, texts or emails. I would suggest anyone in Southeast Missouri interested in buying or selling property get in touch with Melanie Sanders, she'll get the job done. Five out of five stars!
Mrs. Sanders was superb. My wife and I were very lucky to have had her expertise when selling our home as well as the acquisition of her new house. We will certainly recommend her to anyone we know who needs a realtor in the area. Thank you so much.
For all things home buying, it doesn’t get better than Melanie! Being a first time home buyer can definitely be an intimidating process. From our first conversation, Melanie was not only dedicated to helping me to find the perfect home to fit my needs, but also to getting to know me as a person, not just a client. She always made sure that I understood every process that was happening and gave clear and concise explanations if there was something that I didn’t understand. Within days of meeting each other, we were already making a game plan and looking at houses, narrowing down each aspect until we found the perfect home. Even after finding my home, she was always available. She is an amazing negotiator and helped to get a great price not only on the house, but also in concessions, in order to get a new roof. She also made the closing process a breeze, even referring me to a bank so that I could get the best financing possible. From beginning to end, she made a stressful situation so much easier, and I can’t imagine going through this process with anyone else. I can’t thank Melanie enough, and I’d gladly recommend her, not only to first time home buyers, but to all home buyers. It’s a decision you won’t regret!
Melanie makes househunting buying/selling a home a truly special experience!!! She takes away any fears or confusion about today’s housing market. She goes out of her way for every client and she definitely knows her stuff!! I’ve known her for over 30 years and I am so proud to say she’s a woman of integrity and treats her clients just like her own family. Being able to trust your realtor takes away so much of the work and stress! Melanie is #1!!!!!!
Melanie is more than just a real estate agent, she’s a lifelong friend. My sister referred me to her three years ago when I was going through one of the hardest times of my life. Melanie checked in with me multiple times a week just to see how I was doing. She gave me some of the best advice and guided me every step of the way. I was new to the home-buying process and had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Being a single mother of three is difficult but she made sure I never felt like I was alone. After a lot of hard work and patience, I’m a home owner! My kiddos and I are so incredibly grateful for her. I would choose her a million times over if I had to do this again. Thank you for believing in us Melanie!
