I highly recommend Melina Tomson if you want to sell your home quickly and at top dollar! When searching the Internet for a top producing seller's agent, Melina's name consistently appeared on a number of lists as #1 or #2. When I went to the Tomson Burnham website, I saw Melina has a happy list of past clients, a deep understanding of the Salem-Keizer market, and years of experience. When I first met with Melina, she was friendly, professional, a great listener, and came prepared to present her marketing strategy to me. I was impressed by how extensive and unique her approach is, especially her recommendations for a pre-sales inspection and a professional staging consultation (both paid for by Melina!) Her intention is to take as much stress out of the home sale process as possible for her clients. Melina made the sale of my home easy and almost effortless. While I took care of a few repairs found to be needed by my pre-sales home inspection and also changed things in my home based on the advice of the professional stager, Melina got busy posting a 'coming soon' photo and description of my home and immediately talking it up with other agents and brokers. To make a long story short, I agreed to two 'early' tours of my home by prospective buyers and their agents. I was surprised and delighted to receive a full-price offer from one of the prospective buyers - two and a half months before my home was scheduled to go on the market. Needless to say, I accepted the offer! From this point to the close of escrow, Melina clearly explained every step and every document, consistently prioritized my best interests, and responded to my calls, emails, and texts quickly. This allowed me to stay calm and positive. It was a marvelous experience working with Melina and I highly recommend Melina to any seller who is looking for an excellent real estate agent who delivers proactive and better-than-expected results!
