We recently purchased a home in Manchester, Connecticut through Jeff and Mel Rothman (eXp Realty). Since we were living out-of-state, and had very specific needs and wants for the floor plan and property, it took us 9+ months to find our new home. While other realtors certainly would have wrung their hands about our choosiness, Jeff and Mel were always patient with us—doing walkthroughs with local family members, face-timing with us when we couldn’t be there for the initial viewing, and sending us detailed follow-up videos for further consideration. They brought in-depth knowledge of construction, real estate and the local market to the table. Additionally, they have built an extensive network throughout CT of specialists in various professions (e.g., financing, roofing, plumbing, etc.), and they are more than willing to share their contacts. Although the market was white hot in CT while we were looking at homes, their ability to navigate through the chaos of rapidly changing prices, multiple bid offers, and overall market competitiveness was brilliant! They know the towns and cities so well, they were able to provide very reliable local comps for a variety of homes, and helped us to construct a winning offer. We whole-heartedly recommend them, and if we need to move again in the future, they will be the realtors we call! Karen & Jerome

I can't say enough about Mel. We met when I was looking for a home, and as a buyers agent, she is stellar! She does an excellent job making sure the people she works with understand the process, are aware of important deadlines, and makes sure that there are no unexpected issues with the closing. But when but decided to sell my property in Connecticut, Mel truly went above and beyond. I currently live out of state, and she assisted in so many ways. From helping to find the contractors to checking all of the details when they finished. An absolute professional from beginning to end. I would highly recommend Mel to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Mel and her did a great job getting my house sold quickly and easily! Thanks again Mel!

Mel is an excellent realtor. She was always available to answer our questions. She was very knowledgeable and helped us to understand what we needed to do to get the house ready for sale.

Melissa has a depth of professional and interpersonal skills that honestly was the reason my house sold so fast and for such a great price. She connected with the people at the open house and generated multiple offers back when the market was much tougher than it is now. When he hit an issue with the buyer she was able to smooth out any kinks and handle all the details without me needing to worry about anything. I would never work with any other agent after meeting Melissa.

Melissa has gone out of her way to share her knowledge and experiences in real estate. She made all aspects of the process Pleasurable.

Words can't describe how grateful we are for Mel (and for our close friends for recommending her to us!). Throughout the home buying process, Mel was patient, informative, responsive and compassionate. My husband and I felt very supported and our concerns/anxiety about buying our first home were put at ease thanks to Mel and her team! Due to the craziness of the market right now, we had to visit homes within 24-hours and put an offer in immediately if we were interested - Mel responded right away when we sent her a home we were interested in seeing; she always got us in the same day, and walked us through the offer process and explained everything in detail. She even took the time when she was out of state to FaceTime with us while writing the first offer we put in on a home! And if for some reason Mel couldn't meet with us to visit a home, she ensured that someone on her team was with us (her awesome husband, Jeff - talk about a power couple!) so we were never alone. Mel is also a Homes for Heroes affiliate (for those of you who are Firefighters, law enforcement, EMS, Military and veterans, healthcare and/or teachers) and was able to get us extra cash to put towards our new home! If you want someone who is personable, very knowledgeable, kind, passionate about the industry and truly cares about your future, Mel is your person! WE APPRECIATE YOU, MEL!

Upon talking with Melissa she was very energetic and had a good understanding of what we were looking for! Melissa was very easy to talk to and get a long with which made walking through properties very enjoyable. She would also point out problem areas that we were not knowledgeable about. Overall, it was a pleasure working with Melissa and would highly recommend anyone to her! We appreciate you Melissa!

We were very happy with Melissa’s performance in the sale of our house in Connecticut. Even though we live on the west coast, Melissa made the entire process very seamless and we got WAY over asking price for our house. We would certainly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Great work!

As a first-time home buyer, the whole process from start to finish can be very daunting, but Melissa made each step more manageable. I was looking for someone who would listen to my needs and wants, but also someone who would be honest with their opinions. Melissa was all that and more. As someone with a hectic work schedule, Melissa was responsive and always found time to talk. She was knowledgeable and helped me understand all sides of the process. She always went above and beyond to make sure that I was in good hands. If I had any concerns or questions, she would go out of her way to get the answer I needed. Melissa and the whole Rothman team worked tirelessly to ensure that my journey was as smooth as possible. She makes you feel like family and will give you an honest opinion no matter what. I would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a home and would come to her again.

It has been a long journey in search of that perfect home for us with Melissa (Aunt Mel as our 4 year old calls her). And now that this journey just happily concluded, we wanted to spend a moment to appreciate, recognize and give a special shout out for Melissa. No wonder she is one of our family now. TO EVERY FIRST TIME HOME BUYER, Melissa is your go to person. Highlights: 1. Extreme patience and happy to help attitude - Late night calls for clarifications, late night decision changes, changing preferences and Melissa setting up the right MLS search accordingly, going around multiple properties tirelessly. 2. Prompt response and lucid communication - Almost every time she is available to talk and share her thoughts and advices. 3. Honest advices good, bad, ugly - Although we had connected with Melissa for business, she was more of a friend and guardian with her honest advices, feedback and guidance. When we started a search, we were literally listless, and Melissa helped us narrow down the search and preferences. She even helped us to pull out of a bad deal at the last moment, just when we were apprehensive that we might lose the inspection money. 4. A full army at disposal - We have been in this country for just 8 years and started our home search a year back. We are pretty novice in real estate. Melissa, has everything a first time home buyer needs, to calm down the overwhelmed brain. 5. Negotiation skills - In abundance, she helped us negotiate seller's credit smoothly. Wherever, Melissa could not cater to us on time, she ensured her wonderful husband Jeff filled in. We wanted to write more, but all words fall short of the experience we had with her.

It was a great experience , Melissa and her team work so hard to find the one house for me . It was a challenge to deal with the seller . with faith and the great work of Melissa she help me fight for the one I really wanted. Thank you so much for your hard work We love our new home ?? ????
