About Melinda Elmer

Since 2003 I have been an industry-leading Real Estate Professional, centrally located between Orange and Los Angeles County in Long Beach. My passion for helping people buy and sell homes developed when looking to purchase my first house in Long Beach. During that journey, I felt like I was not being heard by the agent I chose to consult. This experience instilled in me the desire to be the Real Estate Agent I wish I had. I decided to be the change and make my number one priority listening to the client. At The Elmer Team, we take a team approach to real estate. I have carefully curated my team of professionals to consistently provide the full service and attention each client deserves. Working with us, you will have the personal attention traditionally associated with the client-agent relationship improved by the professionalism and consistency of my outstanding team. I am among the top 1% of agents in today's market, consistently awarded accolades for my production and service, recognized for outstanding achievements by the Women's Council of REALTORS®, and a multi-year recipient of the prestigious Los Angeles Magazine's Five Star rating. Most important to me is my clients and helping them in their success. With this goal in mind, my business has grown successfully and consistently thanks to happy clients' repeat business and introductions to friends, family, and neighbors. This track record is only possible because we deliver both results and an enjoyable experience. In addition, I have earned the Certified Probate and Trust Specialist certification and the Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist certification. Having worked in this arena for years and been a member of the local Estate planning and Trust Council, I wanted to solidify and improve my service by taking my knowledge in those areas to an even higher level.

Rachelle Mistretta and The Elmer Team were amazing to work with! Rachelle helped us buy our family home in Huntington Beach, winning against other offers and even securing $13K in credits thanks to her great rapport with the listing agent. The team is now handling the sale of our condo. Their knowledge and expertise has been invaluable.

After meeting.an extended number of realtors, I chose Melinda Elmer to sell my home. Her knowledge of the neighborhood housing market and strong sales record were my deciding factors. She and her team quickly got to work from the word aEURoegoaEUR?. About a week later we selected a buyer followed by my property going into escrow. Throughout the whole process I was always in direct communications with Melinda and Angie. They were quick to answer my questions and clarified verbiage in the required real estate sale documents. Team Elmers attention to details gave me confidence in their capabilities as a realtor. They ensured the counter offers and agreements were precisely worded to my satisfaction. This strong recommendation is well earned as I am very satisfied with my experience as a home seller and the end results The Elmer Team achieved.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Melinda and her team of real estate experts for the sale of our Long Beach property. Melinda's industry knowledge, responsiveness and anticipation of her clients' needs really set her apart from other realtors. She gave us honest and invaluable advice and recommendation that ensure a smooth closing of our sale. Melinda's team also kept us up-to-date on every step of the transaction. I am so grateful we were in such capable hands!

We are grateful for the Elmer's Team expertise and support during our search for our first home. They answered our questions, met with us at any time and helped us when we couldn't drive down to meet with vendors. This team made us feel comfortable and confident in making one of our biggest financial decisions yet. They are zero pressure and a hundred and one percent on your side. We are so happy in our new home and couldn't have done it without Rachelle, Melinda, Dawn and Angie! Thank you!

Melinda Elmer and her team are amazing. I worked with them long distance on a complex real estate deal involving a family member with legal complexities. They handled everything with expertise and confidence and kept me updated every step of the way. I highly recommend Melinda and The Elmer Team!
