Melinda Drake

Melinda guided us through selling our own home and buying our next home. She is incredibly knowledgeable and treats her clients like family. From pricing strategy and negotiations to inspections, closing details, and constant communication, Melinda was there every step of the way and always had our best interests in mind. She is supportive, informed, and confident. I highly recommend Melinda if you want a seamless real estate experience!

Melinda was easy to get a hold of and work with and made our first home buying experience so smooth! She also advocated for us during our walk through to ensure our home would be in the best condition upon closing.

Melinda was an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, caring, and truly dedicated to getting the job done. She was always available, communicated clearly, and was incredibly resourceful throughout the entire process. I felt supported every step of the way and couldn’t recommend her more. Will be using her again in the future!

This is the third time I have worked with Melinda Drake, twice as a buyer and most recently as a seller, and that loyalty alone should speak volumes. On the buying end, she helped me navigate family changes and construction projects, and was willing to go the extra mile (and then some!) when I didn't know quite what I was looking for. On the selling end, she was patient when I thought I'd be ready to sell a year sooner, and helped me address changing & unpredictable markets with appraisals and smart strategies. Throughout all of these exchanges, she communicated clearly and kindly with reliable information, strong ethics, honesty, and great advice. (For what it's worth, my home went under contract in a day and closed in less than a month at a great price!) I couldn't be more pleased with my experience and highly recommend Melinda Drake to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Melinda goes above and beyond throughout the whole process. As first time home buyers we weren’t really sure of what was going on. Melinda advised us on multiple properties, parts of town, values - keeping both short-term and long-term goals in mind. She always had our interest first and built trust with us incredibly fast. She’s a true client advocate and will not settle for anything subpar. Her connections across the state help tremendously as well from home inspectors, GC’s, hvac, plumbers, etc. When you are making a decision as big as buying a home - you need someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and an advocate. Melinda is all of these. 10/10 would recommend and will certainly work with her if we move again.

Melinda was fantastic in every way. We were so grateful for her kindness, patience, knowledge and representation. Her only agenda was to help us find a home we loved. She was thoughtful about details to consider, beyond helpful in solving issues as they came up and was protective of our interests. It was a wonderful Experience for our family in every way.
