I manage about 150 apartment units/houses/condos in the Belleville - O’Fallon area and I have used Melissa as my agent for abut two years. I have worked with her both on the buying side and the selling side of the business. Melissa is the best Realtor I have worked with. Her communication skills set her above the rest and I know with Melissa that the job is getting done! It doesn’t matter if I am buying or selling, she always makes me feel like I am her top priority. Melissa's accuracy and attention to detail also amaze me. She thoroughly explains the buying and/or selling process, along with all of the papers that need to be signed. She really knows the real estate business and I highly recommend her.
