FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Work with a real estate agent who can represent and advice you on your home purchase. Listing agents represent the seller. Working without representation could result in less favorable terms for the buyer.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Work with an experienced agent who can advise you on preparing your home for sale before hitting the market. Also, price your home correctly right from the start. The first weeks on the market are crucial for capturing the most serious buyers.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
I have worked with all types of sellers and buyers including first-time home buyers, investors and clients relocating from out of state/country.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
I am especially fond of properties I've listed and sold quickly at full price (or above) with a smooth transition for my clients to move from their existing home into their new home. Essentially a back-to-back closing with a lease-back giving my sellers time to move out.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
I got started in real estate over 20 years ago when I met my husband. We started with investment properties and soon after obtained our real estate license. Together we have been working with buyers and sellers ever since.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
As previous investors, we can advice and direct clients in the right direction to avoid potential bad deals. My husband worked as a builder for a Fortune 500 company and can assist anyone wanting to build or who may have questions about building or construction. We are also very knowledgeable in pre-owned and new home sales with nearly 200 transactions successfully closed.

Melissa Ellis is a must hire! I could go on and on about the great job she did for us but what is most important to know is she is masterful at her job and equally important to me is be a person of high character and easy to work with. Her mastery of her profession can easily be measured in the fact that our house sold above our asking price and we turned around and bought our next house below the asking price. Her high character can be measured by the fact that I would hire her again and recommend her to anyone that asks with 100% confidence.

Melissa & Paul Ellis were amazing with the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new home! They were on top of everything at all times and I didn't have anything to worry about. They worked around my hectic work schedule to make it go as smoothly as possible. I definitely would recommend them! As a matter of fact, I recommended them to my brother and they did the same for him that they did for me! Whenever someone tells me they are interested in buying or selling I give them Melissa & Paul Ellis's number! They are extremely helpful, knowledgeable and give you their undivided attention. Whenever I had a question, even if it was in the middle of the night, they were there for me! I'm so glad they were there to guide me along the process. I'm so thankful that I was blessed with these honest hard-working individuals.

Melissa Ellis worked endlessly for our benefit of selling and buying us a home. Her communications throughout the transaction was great. She is honest, trustworthy and so professional. She has an eye for detail and her knowledge in knowing the market helped with making a great decision. Every chance I get I recommend her to family and friends.

Melissa and Paul are excellent at what they do, and I would highly recommend them!When the house I had originally asked to look at received an offer, they showed me a few more that they thought I would be interested in, and I was very happy with the house I ended up with. Within a day of looking at it, they helped me make an offer below asking price (which is very rare in Dallas lately)! From that point forward, Melissa was there every step of the way. She even went as far as to call the lender when it seemed we wouldn't be able to close on time. I am now sitting comfortably in my first home, and I will be eternally grateful to her!
