To Whom it May Concern,
My name is Mike Ray and I am a new home owner. My wife and I purchased our first home together on August 5th of this year after renting for the last three years. We knew what we wanted in a home, and were "overly optimistic" about what we would find in our prince range, and in a different city than where we had been living previously.
We originally contaced Melanie telling her we wanted to start a search for a home, with certain criteria, in a lower price bracket...just to see what was out there. We went through a half-dozen or some homes at this initial price range, and came to the agreement that we needed to change our criteria, or change our price.. we agreed not to sacrifice a certian quality of living and increased our price.
Throughout the next 2 weeks we went through nearly 20 different homes, at a range of almost $100,000, and found a home that peaked our interest. Melanie helped us gauge this potential home against the others we had seen, and did so in a very professional caring way, not trying to push us into anything. We eventually decided this home was the one we wanted, and put in an offer. after a day of successsful negotiating we came upon an agreed price and terms, and bought our new house.
Melanie was great to work with, and provided us with a great wealth of resources and information. We were highly impressed with her and her fellow Real Estate associates that we quickly recommended her to a close friend who wanted to buy a revenue property from out of town. He too enjoyed working with Mealnie, and closed the deal on his new home within days of us.
For anyone looking for personal and professinoal Real Estate service, we, Mike and Lindsay Ray, recommend seeing Melanie Lupul of Re/Max Centre City.
