The Right Team Made All the Difference

We had been searching for property in Arkansas for several years and submitted multiple offers that didn’t work out. Based on those experiences, we decided to engage a buyer’s agent, one of the best decisions we made. Ahead of a planned visit, I reached out to Weichert Realtors | Market Edge and connected with MELISSA COLLINS. She quickly understood what we were (and weren’t) looking for, did extensive research, and refined our list. Before we arrived, she coordinated with listing agents and mapped out an efficient showing route. Melissa introduced us to JOSIE VILLINES on day one to ensure continuity while she was traveling. That thoughtful handoff set the tone for everything that followed. Both spent a full day with us touring rural properties across Northwest Arkansas. They were patient, personable, and focused on understanding our preferences. Even after hours, Josie continued showing properties and made sure we felt supported. That evening, we found a new listing and shared it with Josie. She immediately offered to meet us the next morning, and it turned out to be “the one.” From there, Josie handled everything - offer, negotiations, and closing - with professionalism and efficiency. After years of starts and stops, this process finally felt smooth and straightforward. Josie did all of this while over eight months pregnant and continued supporting us even after her baby arrived during closing. We highly recommend both Melissa Collins and Josie Villines. They are knowledgeable, responsive, and truly care about their clients. Josie went above and beyond and has continued to stay in touch after closing, connecting us with local services and even offering to check on the property while we plan our build. Cannot say enough wonderful things about Josie and this team.
