Review for Member: Melanie Gunn
ZillowVERIFIEDIve worked with Melanie several times over the years, and she has been exceptional every single time. I first worked with her in 2017 when she helped me find an apartment to rent in the East Rock neighborhood of New Haven, then again in 2021 when I bought my first home in Hamden, and most recently in 2025 when she guided me through selling that same home. Across all of these very different experiences, Melanie has consistently been knowledgeable, thoughtful, and incredibly effective. She knows the market inside and out, and she understands every step of both the buying and selling process. As a first-time homebuyer, I felt completely supported; she made something that could have been overwhelming feel surprisingly easy. When it came time to sell, I had already moved to the West Coast, and Melanie handled everything seamlessly. She coordinated repairs, staging, showings, and all the details I couldnt manage from afar, turning what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth, worry-free experience. Melanie is also a fantastic negotiator. Whether it was helping me secure a better rent back in 2017, negotiating concessions during my home purchase, or maximizing the sale price in 2025, she always advocated for my best interests and delivered real results. Shes communicative, dedicated, and genuinely helpful at every turn. Working with Melanie has been an absolute pleasure, and I cant recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a top-tier realtor in the area.

ZillowVERIFIED We have engaged with Melanie multiple times, and she remains our only real estate agent. She helped us buy our first home in Connecticut, and then when we outgrew that home, she helped us find our dream place. She also helped us sell our last home, ensuring that we got an amazing price and great terms. She is responsive, kind and always on our side. Even by the processed to find our dream home took almost 2 years, Melanie was our cheerleader the entire time making sure that we didn't sacrifice what we wanted just because we were tired of the market. She's an expert negotiator and understands the nuances of the real estate market. You won't find a better person on your side.

ZillowVERIFIED We had a wonderful experience working with Melanie Gunn for both the purchase of our new home and sale of our old home. She was very knowledgeable and communicative throughout the whole process. It often felt that she was going above and beyond to make things easier for us. I don't think we could have found a better realtor and we feel so lucky to have worked with her!

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie is absolutely the best. As a first time home buyer she listened to what I wanted in a home and was always available to answer the million questions I had. Working with her, I was able to purchase what I can only describe as my dream home. Thank you again.

ZillowVERIFIED ts a challenge to write a review that fully captures just how exceptional our experience with Melanie was. From the start, she impressed us with her knowledge, positive attitude and patience. We were moving from out of state and she patiently showed us an extensive amount of rentals for us to choose from, helped us navigate the rental requirements, contracts, etc. When we decided we wanted to buy, we didnt think twice about who to work with. Her advice was invaluable, and it was clear she truly had our best interests at heart. She has an extensive network of trusted professionalsaEUR"contractors, cleaning crewaEUR| you name itaEUR"which made it easy to coordinate for inspections and repairs. But what really makes Melanie stand out is the type of person she is: genuinely kind, incredibly patient, and always looking out for her clients. She went way above and beyond for us, and you could tell she was truly happy to help. No matter what came up, she always had a smile on her face and brought such a positive, uplifting energy. She was an absolute joy to be around, and by the end of the process, she felt more like a good friend than just our realtor. She was always available, easy to reach, and even after the sale was finalized she continued to check in, sending us helpful tips on increasing energy efficiency and connecting us with local resources. She didnt just help us find a homeaEUR"she made sure we felt comfortable and supported every step of the way. Melanie is one of those rare breed human beings: genuinely nice, smart as whip, extremely competent, easy to work with and nice to be around. So if youre looking for a realtor who is not only an expert in her field but also a genuinely wonderful human being, look no furtheraEUR"Melanie is the absolute best. We feel so fortunate to have worked with her!

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie was our agent for our first home (condo!) purchase and we jumped at the chance to use her for our next home. Melanie was able to keep open lines of communication between the sellers and make sure everything was done in a timely fashion so that we could satisfy the selling of our first home and purchase of our second. She found us another lawyer at the 11th hour when our first couldn't close on the day we needed as well. Thank you, Melanie!

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie was terrific! She helped my daughter navigate purchasing her first home. She walked her through the process with kindness and understanding. Her communication skills were amazing; we always knew what was going on and what to expect next. She always responded immediately, and she connected us to great resources. And she was wise and strategic in a very competitive market. Ultimately my daughter found the perfect condo for her, and she couldn't be happier.

ZillowVERIFIED I recently bought my first apartment, and I couldn't have done it without the incredible support of Melanie Gunn. Melanie has a deep knowledge of New Haven real estate market and a genuine passion for helping her clients. She was incredibly understanding of my budget, area preferences, and timeline, and at no point did she pressure me to make a decision I wasn't ready for. Melanie took the time to explain every step of the process, from how to start the search to navigating the purchase. Her expertise and patience made everything feel seamless. Buying your first home can be stressful, but her guidance made things much easier and was always available to answer my questions. I would strongly recommend Melanie to anyone looking to purchase in the New Haven/Connecticut area.

ZillowVERIFIED This was my second time, this time as a seller, with Melanie by my side. She was amazing and went the extra mile on marketing, working with other buyers agents and from offer to closing she made it a breeze. Exceeded my expectations on closing a great deal. I cannot say enough about her fantastic work ethic and professionalism and on top of all that she has good heart and is just wonderful all around. 1000/10 would hire again!

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Melanie Gunn as our buyer's agent, and we highly recommend her. From the moment we connected, her dedication to helping us find the right home was clear. Melanie possesses a wealth of knowledge about the local market trends and neighborhoods. She patiently listened to our preferences and concerns. Throughout the entire process, Melanie demonstrated exceptional professionalism and responsiveness. She was always available to answer our questions and guide us through each step making the experience of buying a home smooth and stress-free. What impressed us most was Melanies knowledge and observations of the components of the properties we visited including the building structures, roofs, appliances, utilities, etc. Her attention to detail and commitment ensured that we got the best possible outcome. If you're in the market to buy a home and want an agent who will exceed your expectations, look no further than Melanie. She is not just a real estate agent but a trusted partner who genuinely cares about helping you buy the right home for the right price.

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie was an absolutely fantastic Realtor and I highly recommend her! As first-time home buyers, we found the process intimidating, but Melanie patiently helped us through each step. She was also easy to reach and responsive to our needs, and above all was so kind and courteous in all of our interactions with her. We would gladly work with her again!

ZillowVERIFIED As out of towners, Melanie guided us through the New Haven market and helped us purchase the perfect New Haven condo for our daughter. Melanie was well versed in each of the neighborhoods and steered us toward a safe location within walking distance of the university. Melanie provided helpful guidance on the bid process and secured a great price. Melanie even attended the inspection on our behalf and arranged for correction of a few items that were amiss in advance of the closing. She also provided key contacts for quality painters and handymen that have prepared the unit for move in. Melanie is a professional and has been an absolute joy throughout this process. We highly recommend Melanie.

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie is awesome and reliable. Over the past 4 years, I have bought a condo with her, sold another one, bought another one, and currently selling the first one with her. She always gives good recommendations on pricing, what to prepare for during selling and buying. It was very insightful when House shopping with Melanie to learn all the things to watch out for. She would check for things that I wasn't even looking at.

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie was so great to work with! Her responsiveness, knowledge, kind personality and sense of humor made our experience as relatively naive first time home buyers a really pleasant one. She shared a lot of tips from her strong knowledge of the neighborhood we were looking to buy in and guided us through the process of making a competitive offer. Our *first* offer on a house was accepted and I am positive Melanie had a lot do with our success. If you need a sign to work with Melanie, this is it!

Review for Member: Melanie Gunn
ZillowVERIFIED Melanie was the consummate Realtor who helped me both buy and sell a home. I purchased a home from across the country and she was there supporting the process all along the way. Any time there was a home I was interested in (dozen+), she'd be quick to get an appointment and video chat throughout it to help pick the best option. When it came to closing, she was an advocate and helped secure some additional credits I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. After purchasing the home, it turned out it wasn't the right fit. Melanie talked through options to rent or sell it and ultimately helped sell it! When we had the right buyer, Melanie streamlined the process and got us to closing without a hiccup. Grateful for all the support, guidance, and impact! Thank you Melanie!

ZillowVERIFIED Choosing the right realtor can be almost as important as choosing the right home. With Melanie, the choice was effortless and led to the purchase of a home that was meant for us. Melanie was able to help navigate us throughout the process from start to finish and was an invaluable agent and friend, who always put herself in our shoes and make the purchase seamless. Melanie played a huge role in our story, and hopefully she can do the same for yours!

Review for Member: Melanie Gunn
ZillowVERIFIED We have worked with Melanie for a few years in different capacities. She helped us find a rental when my wife first moved to Connecticut, then helped us to buy our first home, and then helped us to sell that home and move into the house that our children will grow up in. Melanie is very thoughtful and took our wants and needs to heart; she remembered every little element we wanted in a home (a craft room, a home gym, a work space) which helped us know she wasnt trying to get us to buy a house, but to buy our home. She has great insight into locations and common issues or trends with homes in the area which was especially helpful when we were looking to buy outside of the area where we currently lived. She has great connections that led to us having great financing, legal representation, inspectors, and photographers. Her instincts were also great, both in terms of what to offer when buying as well as what to ask for when selling. She was always available through call, text, or email, and we could always get a showing ASAP. I would highly recommend Melanie to anybody looking to buy or sell a home!

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie Gunn is an absolute star. I worked with Melanie two years ago, as I had my heart set on a rental with a beach view. She delivered and I spent two years there with the best view. When it came time to purchase my first house I went straight to Melanie. She was patient, gave me incredible advice and was with me every step of the way. Her knowledge of the Shoreline was invaluable and her contacts in the industry from inspection services and lawyer were all amazing. Buying a house never goes smoothly yet she went above and beyond to make this experience as painless as possible. I have recommended Melanie to friends and family (she sold my friends condo for well over asking in record time) and I would recommend her to anyone in need of a realtor in the area. She truly puts you first and wants to help you find your dream house. I know if it ever comes time to move, she will be my first call.

ZillowVERIFIED We were first-time homebuyers, moving to Connecticut from California on a very tight deadline (two months). Melanie educated us on the process, helped us strategize in a competitive market, and in the end we managed to close on a great house in a wonderful location within our seemingly impossible time frame. In addition to all that, Melanie also helped walk us through finding local contractors, utility companies, and some great places to eat! I highly recommend working with her.

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie was simply the best! She helped me through a very difficult purchase mostly remotely from California to Connecticut in the craziest market. She also had tons of wonderful contacts for painters, attorneys, landscapers and anything I needed during the sale and after. Lifesaver and an angel that held my hand and kept me sane!

ZillowVERIFIED My family has worked with Melanie several times to both buy and sell property in the New Haven area. Each time Melanie has exceeded our expectations by helping to secure sales efficiently and effectively. Her expansive network of contacts and her stellar reputation among her peers are invaluable. While we do not intended to move again for quite some time - if we do, we know who we'll call.

Review for Member: Melanie Gunn
ZillowVERIFIED Melanie was a pleasure to work with. We were buying a home from out of state and she was flexible and informative from the first call. She visited a home on just a day's notice and gave us a tourA of the property over the phone. After the tour, she talked through all of the positives and some of the complications of the property. We didn't end up making an offer, but Melanie supported us in seeing other homes and sending us property listings. She met with a family member to tour other homes for us and answered all of our questions. Most importantly, when we found the house we wanted, we were up against a number of other offers and on a very short timeline. Melanie suggested a price and explained how an escalation clause works. There were offers higher than ours, but with the escalationA clause, and the letter she suggested we write to the owners, our offer was selected. The inspection process wasn't easy but she was a star and we are so happy in our new home. Melanie has deep real estate knowledge, is committed to your search, and is a pleasure to work with.

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie was as our seller's agent and was hands-on, savvy, and responsive. She took the time to look at our property and tailor the listing and her marketing effort. She has an excellent eye and works with an excellent photographer. We received multiple offers and Melanie handled the information, strategy, and communications well. We will continue to recommend her to anyone buying and selling in the greater New Haven area!

ZillowVERIFIED We worked with Melanie Gunn in the purchase of our condo in 2018 and again to purchase our home in 2022. Melanie is incredible. She did an amazing job in guiding us on our first home purchase in 2018, but we really appreciated her brilliance when we were trying to find a home in this crazy real estate market. For an entire year, she worked tirelessly to identify listings and make herself available for showings. She always gave us invaluable advice and insights along the way and helped us make quick and informed offers on properties. I am not sure that we would have found and secured our home in this market without her expertise and skill. The icing on the cake is that she is incredibly kind, patient, accessible and easy to work with.

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie helped us find our new home in January of 2021 and we went back to her to help sell our last one when the time came in 2022. She knew the area, the building, and the market, and helped us make the process quick and easy, even though unusual and unique complications. She knows lots of other professionals in the area and everyone she's connected us with has also been professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Very confident in her knowledge and her recommendations.

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie was recommended by several friends and now we know why! She listened carefully, responded quickly, and helped us target the areas in and near New Haven that would best meet our needs. She really knows this area and the market and she is well connected with real estate professionals throughout the state. It was a pleasure to work with her, from our first 'get to know the area' tour to our final walk-through the day we closed on our lovely new home. She is a lovely person and a skilled professional.

Review for Member: Melanie Gunn
ZillowVERIFIED Melanie is an absolute GEM of an agent. We worked with Melanie as first time buyers. She didnt simply guide us through the process (which, Ill add, she did so wonderfully), but she really cared about finding the exact right fit for us. She never pushed us to make a decision too quickly, tried to convince us that we needed something more expensive than our range, or tried to brush away our concerns in favor of trying to close a deal. In fact, Melanies knowledge and attention to detail caught red flags in properties that we never would have known to look for, saving us wasted time or even major headaches had we moved forward with those properties! Melanie is extremely detail-oriented and frequently was reaching out with properties she thought were a good fit (and they genuinely were properties that met our specific requirements aEUR" not some general email blast). She is also extremely responsive and very fast at setting up showings, which is so crucial in such a fast-paced market. When we finally found aEURoethe oneaEUR?, Melanie worked tirelessly to make sure we closed quickly and on time. She even helped us negotiate with the seller after the inspection to put some money back in our pockets. She really didnt have to do that, as she knew the deal was going to go through regardless. But she genuinely went above and beyond what she had to do, and for that we are so grateful. In fact, we raved about Melanie so much that the owner of the condo we were renting hired her to sell the condo after we moved out (it closed in less than two months!!)

Review for Member: Melanie Gunn
ZillowVERIFIED If you are looking for a responsive, knowledgeable, and honest realtor, we absolutely recommend Melanie Gunn. Just after the new year (January 2021), we contacted Melanie for assistance finding a home. We were initially nervous about going through this process during the pandemic, but Melanie was extremely professional and ensured that social distancing and masking was always practiced. Melanie knows the New Haven area really well and provided important insight about what it would be like to live in different areas, especially in terms of accessibility to public transportation and services. Melanie is also very knowledgeable about houses in general and always took the time to explain the history or function of different features. One of the things we most appreciated about Melanie was that she was always very open and honest with us if there was anything concerning during the walkthrough and she never tried to sell us on any houses or features that we didnt want or were outside of our price range. Once we found our home, Melanie helped us navigate the complex process of putting in an offer, setting up an inspection, negotiating, and completing all the paperwork. After some projects turned up during the inspection, Melanie also recommended reliable specialists (such as electricians) who were responsive and extremely capable. This made the moving in process so much quicker and easier than it would have been otherwise. We are so grateful that we chose Melanie as our realtor and wouldnt hesitate to hire her in the future if needed.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I recently bought a condo in New Haven, CT and Melanie was fantastic. Melanie was pleasant, professional and responsive. We were apprehensive to complete the search and purchase remotely, but with Melanie's help everything went perfectly. Melanie is clearly very knowledgeable about the local housing/renting market and about the entire process of purchasing in New Haven, which was a huge asset since we were buying from out of state. I would gladly recommend Melanie and will work with her again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED In August of 2020, during historic upheaval for the nation and globe, further negotiation with my previous landlords had broken down.. While proven to be the appropriate decision by and for all accounts, it was made short notice and I had only recently begun to feel comfortable in the area. In those initial, uncertain, and confusing times I felt overwhelmed and doubted my ability to handle such a task as a single renter during the beginnings of wild-west quarantine -- in a city I had no living family or contacts to rely on -- and whose most recent rental reference was not the most flattering or equitable. In a single phone call, Melanie Gunn made me feel heard & respected in my decision and trust that there would be help when previously had burnt out in attempting to get. She didn't assume suspicion because, unlike me at the time, she both had and has genuine knowledge of the area. Her experience navigating its strengths and weaknesses honestly & over a length of time that makes her expertise instantly apparent when working with her. As I am a non-traditional, freelance creative with a unique financial situation that was further complicated by the uncertainty of stimulus for myself or anyone aEUR" such an adjustment to an unprecedented change and she still not only made me feel secure in the official dealings that were handled electronically for reasons of safety and travel bans being put into effect. Even the true nightmare of navigating a bank check during that time never even approached sense of pressure or only solution. This ensuing year has been a struggle for everyone. I don't know how to write a review of it anymore than I know how to review the future. It's difficult to evaluate the overall outcome when so incomparable. It wasn't always ideal or smooth, I am unsure how it could have been. However, my sense of security that, whatever hurdle might appear, Melanie would do everything possible to make sure all parties were happy and secure. In particular, I appreciated her honest assessment of her own time and it was clear to me that she worked with rest of The Seabury Hill team as a legitimate team. Even when being handed off to another member of the staff, I knew that it felt seamless because of her hard work in making sure my unique circumstance was handled with genuine care. As someone returning to an area that generations of my family worked and lived, only to be estranged from for over a decade -- I have since come to see the area with those same transformative eyes. There's work to be done, I am sure I did not always make the rocky transition any smoother. She was never anything but professional even in light of any of my anxieties, however unnecessary they may have been in the long run. It continues to astound when considering all the ways in which things might have gone differently. For it to have been so easy and calm, even at the worst of uncertainties for the world's future, is why I am happy to endorse her without hesitation. Even her understanding of how long this promised review took to finally occur speaks to why I'd be a shame to not correct its absence. I might normally hesitate to be so effusive in my endorsement. These once unthinkable last few years are why instead I regret not being able to be more insistent on just what a difference she made for me in a time that still attempting to process fully. Wherever I ultimately may end up, I have gained a home that once had felt like only an emergency way station during a global disaster. Whatever your property related needs may be, I have no doubt that Melanie will be able help you find the next step if not the next home if you only reach out.

She was never anything but professional even in light of any of my anxieties, however unnecessary they may have been in the long run.It continues to astound when considering all the ways in which things might have gone differently. For it to have been so easy and calm, even at the worst of uncertainties for the world's future, is why I am happy to endorse her without hesitation. Even her understanding of how long this promised review took to finally occur speaks to why I'd be a shame to not correct its absence. I might normally hesitate to be so effusive in my endorsement. These once unthinkable last few years are why instead I regret not being able to be more insistent on just what a difference she made for me in a time that still attempting to process fully.Wherever I ultimately may end up, I have gained a home that once had felt like only an emergency way station during a global disaster. Whatever your property related needs may be, I have no doubt that Melanie will be able help you find the next step if not the next home if you only reach out.

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie was always there when we had a question, and really went the extra mile to make the process easy for us. We would definitely work with her again!

ZillowVERIFIED We worked with Melanie when we were buyers, and we came back and worked with her when we sold the same condo three years later. That says volumes about her expertise and her interpersonal skills.

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie was our agent for our first home (condo, actually!) purchase and was absolutely amazing through the whole process. We purchased in New Haven, and do not believe we would have found the place we did without her local expertise. Melanie also represented the sellers, which made it super easy to negotiate. She was available whenever we needed her, whether it was to let us in to measure while the closing process was still happening (with owner permission of course!), or to answer our numerous questions promptly and in great detail, over text, call, or email. Even better, Melanie had recommendations on lenders and lawyers, and other third parties we needed to close the deal, which was super helpful. Thank you, Melanie!
