Melissa Colabella was instrumental and helping us find, buy, and move into our new home in Pleasantville. We examined many different areas (Pelham, Hastings-on-Hudson, Chappaqua, etc.). Melissa filled the gaps in every stage of our journey from rounding out our learning / knowledge / assumptions of the different areas of Westchester to recommendations on cleaning, handymen, and the like after the purchase. Melissa is patient, not pushy, thoughtful, and fun (you will spend a lot of time with your agent so really consider character). She is insanely knowledgeable around all aspects of the Westchester and home ownership (schools, taxes, permits, parking, commuting, town-specific nuances + cultures). Melissa cares more about your long-term happiness than the transaction or her commission. 100% I would use and / or recommend Melissa Colabella without hesitation. She is the best!

I engaged Melissa Colabella to help me find a home in Westchester. Melissa was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. She listened thoughtfully to my needs and wants and presented options that were within reach. Melissa was mindful of my time and was not overbearing or pushy. Melissa is smart and hardworking. She works diligently with passion and dedication for each one of her clients. My situation changed and I ended up moving out of state. Even when it was clear that I was not going to purchase a home in Westchester, Melissa was still available to me as a resource. She is a true gem and a class act. I fully recommend her for all your needs in Westchester.

We've bought two houses and sold one with Melissa... she goes way above and beyond to help, even after the transaction is done to help us out. She worked through the whole process with us and really puts in the work to make sure we find the right fit for our family. Everything with Melissa is done well / thoroughly at 100% quality to make sure things go smoothly. Thank you so much for your support!

We cannot recommend Melissa Colabella highly enough. She has been our trusted realtor through two major milestones--first in 2016 when we bought our home in Tarrytown, NY, and again in 2025 when we sold that home and purchased our dream house in Briarcliff Manor. There's a reason we went back to her: she is simply exceptional at what she does. Melissa truly works for her clients. At every step, it was clear that our best interest was her top priority. Every decision she guided us through kept us at the center--always asking how this benefits us. What we appreciate most is that she never tries to sell the most expensive house, but the right house. That difference is what sets her apart from just any realtor and places her firmly in the category of outstanding. She is meticulous, diligent, incredibly responsive, and communicates clearly and consistently. She helped us navigate the complex process of both buying and selling with calm, confidence, and strategic precision. Melissa drew up a thoughtful, data-driven strategy for us--and then put it into action flawlessly. We sold our home for over asking, and we bought our new home in a highly competitive market not by being the highest bidder, but by using a smart, nuanced approach that combined timing, positioning, and presentation. Her strategy worked. Her deep knowledge of the local market--Chappaqua, Briarcliff Manor, Tarrytown, Croton, the Rivertowns, and beyond--was invaluable. She gave us rich context on each area, helped us think through trade-offs, did the math to assess value, and made sure we were always a step ahead in a fast-moving market. She understands how this region operates and what strategies are needed to get ahead. If you're looking for a realtor who combines deep expertise, integrity, and a client-first mindset, Melissa is the one. We are beyond grateful to have had her by our side through this journey--both in 2016 and again in 2025.

Melissa was an outstanding partner in helping us find our perfect home. Moving from NYC to a town and area we knew nothing about was intimidating, but Melissa's deep knowledge of the area, her guidance in how to evaluate properties, and her no-nonsense, calm approach gave us complete confidence in our purchase. She was patient with our questions, and was extremely responsive always. She drove the process end-to-end, and we never had to worry that anything was being dropped. She advised us very well on price points and offers, and as a result, we (far more quickly than we expected!) found the absolute perfect home for us. We would recommend (and have recommended!) Melissa to anyone looking for a consummate professional who will be your partner in this major purchase.
