Melissa was outstanding in every way. She helped us in all facets of the purchase and securing financing. If it were not for Melissa, our deal would not have proceeded on the expected schedule. Would use her again, no question.
My wife and I decided to list our home in the fall, and after a bad experience we decided to pull the listing. The spring came and we were still on the fence about whether we wanted to go through the process or not due to general anxiety of the recent experience we had, and met with a couple of firms. Then we met Melissa. From day one, we knew she was the person we not only wanted to sell our home, but go through the sales process with as we felt she had our best interest in mind. She is professional, an exceptional communicator, and everything she said would happen, happened and had a plan B in the event it didn't. Didn't. She is the most prepared individual I had ever met and she facilitated us selling our home masterfully. We are so thankful for Melissa and the Kirk and Cobb team for their support and incredible work and helping us sell our first home!
Admittedly I was personally ignorant of the whole process of home buying, but Melissa ended up clearing a lot of things up for me today, and even though I have a bit to go before I get into a home I will be truly happy with, I am a lot more informed than I was today.
I cannot say enough good things about Melissa. As a first time home buyer, she made me feel comfortable and informed. She is knowledgeable and very responsive. My fiancee and I were able to find the perfect house thanks to her. She is definitely my number one recommendation to anyone who is looking for an agent!
Melissa has helped me buy two homes and sell one and she was amazing every step of the way! Any time day or night she is available to answer questions or to drop everything to go look at a house. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
Melissa helped my boyfriend and I buy our first home back in April. Needless to say it was the easiest and best experience for first time home buyers! She answered any and all questions we had and helped us get exactly what we wanted! If you're looking for someone easy and flexible to work with Melissa is your girl!
Melissa is the best at what she does. She has helped us and many of our family members buy and/or sell a home. She knows the market. She goes above and beyond, pays attention to the smallest of details, and is very responsive in returning text messages or phone calls. If anyone asks us for a recommendation for a realtor we always reply with Melissa Herdman!!
Melissa made our home buying and selling process easy. She took care of everything for both. We were fortunate enough to have multiple offers, we sat down and she explained all of our options, left the decision up to us. She was always easy to get ahold of, professional, and will be who we use in the future. She did a great job; went above and beyond.
My wife and I both talked to her on the phone and she did not know we were related. She told both of us she would call us back to set up a time to look at some houses we were interested in and we never got a call back.
Melissa is very knowledgeable. She knew the history of the home and all the previous owners. She was very helpful. We appreciated her time and efforts.
We are so glad that fate brought Melissa to us! She does a a one of kind person! She took my husband and Is wants and crazy demands and found us the perfect place! If you are thinking about buying or selling your home this is the person to talk to!! She is now our life long friend!
Professional, polite and very informative. Always willing to work with even the most odd schedules and all around a great person to work with. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking to buy a home or land.
Melissa was very helpful in helping us get our house, which we love! She worked quickly to get our offer in and accepted, even though there was another offer on the table. She scheduled everything so it went as smoothly as possible even in the midst of an ice/snow storm the day of our closing! She went above and beyond with every aspect of our home buying process, even recommending someone to help us with financing.
Melissa was AMAZING! Us getting into our first house and never having bought anything on credit before was extremely confusing and frustrating but Melissa was there for us every step of the way. I don't know how many times I called, texted, and emailed her at all times of the day or night with questions and she was always there for me and my wife through it all. If you want a realtor that will go the extra mile to make your dream come true, then you want Melissa.
Melissa is amazing! She went above and beyond to help us sell my mothers house. Shes knowledgeable, kind, professional, hard working and understanding. I would recommend her to anyone with real estate needs!
Melissa is very knowledgeable, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns! I have used her to house shop, as well as sell a home and have had nothing but great experiences! She's very down to earth and easy to talk to. While buying/selling is very exciting, it can be so stressful too. She definitely helps to take the stress out of the situation.
Melissa is truly amazing at what she does! We were terrified when buying our first home but she made the experience wonderful. She answered any silly or ridiculous questions we had and always made us feel comfortable during the whole process. I have recommended her to everyone I know because I know she works her butt off to give everyone the best experience. You will not find someone as kind hearted, hard working, and dedicated as Melissa is.
I would run out of space on this page before I ran out of positive things to say about Melissa! Where Realtors are concerned, there is none better in my opinion! My family has worked with her on two separate occasions now. She is so knowledgeable about the process from start to finish and she genuinely cares about her clients. In addition, she always offered quick, detailed responses to my questions. It is very evident she is passionate about helping families find the right place to call home!
Melissa is top notch! I have used Melissa previously to purchase my first home. She knows the area of Osage county and Shawnee county really well and can gauge exactly what you are looking for in a home. I am now using Melissa to sell that same home 2 years later. Melissas communication is incomparable. She lets you know everything that is going on, replies to any questions RIGHT away, and gives you updates the moment she finds out. Her passion for her customers is something I have a never seen before! Thanks Melissa
We called Melissa to view a house out north and she set it up right away . I knew after we talked that I liked her . We need to sell a house as well so I talked to her about it and things just clicked. We sold the house very quickly , the closing went well. I would recommend Melissa she returns your calls promptly and talks to you about the process. She genuinely cares about her clients .Pennie Miser
This is not the first time we have used Melissa as our agent. She was referred to us by a previous customer and we are so glad we made that call to her.She is not pushy at all ,very down-to-earth and honest. She is Very professional and knowledgeable in all areas of buying and selling. We have referred Melissa to friends, with always a positive outcome and feedback from them. My two cents , if you're thinking about buying or selling give Melissa a call you won't be disappointed.
If you're looking for a realtor that is honest ,prompt , paperwork in order, professional, and gives you that one on one feeling that you were her only customer with great communication skills look no further.My wife and I have have gained a good friend.
Melissa helped us get our house. She understands the smaller town market and was extremely well versed in Service professionals in the area. She was very responsive and helpful in all aspects of securing our forever home. Melissa has great diplomacy and was a joy to work with.
Melissa was great in our 2 month journey looking and purchasing our first home! She never pushed any home on us and always give her honest opinion.. She was always friendly and responsive in a timely manner.. Just as when I was starting on giving up hope on finding a home at for my family (because we was about to have to sign another years lease.) Melissa found us a house my family and myself just loved! I will say she paid attention to the style of house we were wanting and found us the house we all fell in love with! Yes, I would recommend her to anyone I know who is in the market for a house! Thank you Melissa!
Melissa was wonderful helping us in our first move in more than 20 years. While we had anxiety about buying a home in a town where we were unfamiliar with the market and the neighborhoods, Melissa listened carefully and showed us a great variety of choices. I particularly appreciate how she listened to what we wanted and interjected her thoughts only when we needed instead of directing us to what she would choose. In the end we found a beautiful house in a great neighborhood and Melissa was professional and thoughtful through it all. During inspections she found the perfect people to give us great feedback and closing was a breeze with her by our side. I highly recommend Melissa if you want a professional, caring, responsive and skilled broker for your next home purchase.
She was great made kept the process going and answered all of my questions. Super friendly and knew her stuff. Showed us a couple homes didnt push anything on us let us really fall in love with a house instead of try to sell something.
I was very pleased how quick Melissa was to responding and being helpful to me and my fiancA(C). She is an amazing person to work with. She has been flexible at showing us houses with our busy schedule. Forever grateful for her.
Melissa stuck with our family for two years while we waited to find the perfect home. She stayed patient and stayed in contact with us even when we put buying a house on the back burner for periods of time. She is extremely knowledgeable and always ready to help wherever she can. She would do everything she could to show us a house even when it was late hours and far from her office. When the time was finally here to put an offer on the perfect house, she took care of all the details and made sure the buying experience was smooth. We couldn't have asked for a better Realtor!
Hi this is gabrick family you show us a home on 81 St you was very nice thank you and we will be in touch.again in about a week from now so we would love to have you as a agent .
Melissa had been wonderful to work with. She is reliable and very responsive! Melissa is knowledgeable and an expert In her field. We will definitely use her again for our selling and buying needs.
I am a first time home buyer and was quite intimidated to begin my home purchasing process. Melissa went above and beyond anything we could have possibly asked for. I was never embarrassed to ask a question and Melissa broke the process down so that it was understandable and manageable, even through the hectic holiday season. Do reach out to Melissa Herdman if you are looking for a home in the area
My husband and I worked with Melissa to purchase an investment property in Topeka. As we are based in Colorado, we did not have much experience with the area. Melissa was tireless in her support of finding us the best home in the best location for the best value. She worked with us through every step of the process and was an excellent advocate for our best interests. I would highly recommend Melissa to both local and remote clients! We are very pleased with our purchase!
We listed our home with Melissa when it came time for us to move from Osage County to get closer to our children; we believe that we could not have chosen anyone better to represent us in the sale of our home. Melissa sat down with us and helped guide us to the right sales price for the property and home. Once Listed it sold quickly at full asking price, Melissa was right there through the whole process and made it as painless as it could have possibly been. " Thank You Melissa" for all that you did to help us through what could have been a difficult process.John & Betty West
We were extremely pleased with Melissa. She took over our listing from another realtor and completely changed the photos, the listing, and the number of showings. She also took care of all the home inspection details and the performance of outside contractors to complete any required work, installations, and follow-up. Her professional attitude and her desire work with us led to a quick sale and a short and successful closing. She was wonderful! We were thrilled with the whole experience and intend to work with her for our future property sales. Thank You.Steven A ZerrLyndon, KS
Melissa's reviews were stellar but it was the high recommendation given by her colleague at Kirk & Cobb that tipped the scale. We found Melissa to be unpretentious, intuitive and non-intrusive, giving us the space to walk & talk through a house as a couple before sharing her own impressions. She inspired confidence with her wealth of knowledge and resources. She was always kind and considerate. We felt completely at ease throughout the entire process, knowing that she was working hard for our benefit, keeping us apprised of everything. If ever we enter the real estate market again, we will want Melissa to represent us. She is wonderful!
Melissa was extremely helpful throughout our home-buying process. Her knowledge and experience were helpful at each step including the search; the negotiation; and the closing. She is a very conscientious agent who is thoughtful and careful to manage the details...even to the point of tracking our progress while she was on vacation! Our process took longer than we had hoped and Melissa's patience and persistence were greatly appreciated. We enthusiastically recommend Melissa Herdman!
Melissa is amazing! She is very knowledgeable about the buying and selling process including the little steps along the way. She is eager to answer your questions and is very responsive to messages!

She helped us sell our house fast and find the perfect home for our family! We highly recommended her to everyone!
Melissa was very nice and helped us find our perfect starter home. She responded so fast and helped us better understand what was going on. She loves what she does which makes her great at it.
From our first house viewing right up to closing on our dream home, Melissa's knowledge, experience and kindness made our first house buying experience as simple and stress free as it could be! Her responsiveness to questions/ concerns as well as her willingness to meet us whenever our schedules allowed were a blessing! I'd recommend her to anyone who is new to this process.
Melissa was great to work with! She started selling our house the moment we agreed to put it on the market. Melissa was always available for questions and to talk about the process. She was with us every step of the way!The only downside is - now that the house is sold, we don't get to work with Melissa anymore! ;)
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Melissa. She has been very attentive to our questions and concerns and prompt in getting us any answers to questions or concerns we may have had. We would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a great Real Estate professional.
I had the honor of working with Melissa while selling my house. I had worked with other realtors and was questioning if selling my home with a realtor vs selling it myself was a mistakeaEUR| that is until I had the opportunity to work with Melissa. Melissa does just that, WORKS! She has gone above and beyond to get our home sold and did so in a timely fashion. She is professional and easy to work with. The work didn't stop when our house went under contract, she continued to set things up for us to ensure we could close promptly and took a lot of off our plate during such a busy time in our lives (moving!). I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Melissa and grateful she has made this transition smooth for myself and my family.

This was very helpful in our relocating process. Melissa was friendly and personable but also very business professional.

Melissa worked with us for nearly a year. She was patient in our search and helped us locate a home we could both live with.I appreciated her persistence and willingness to keep looking until we were happy. She looked at some listings more than once with us as our work schedules are different.
Melissa is a five star performer throughout the buying and selling processes. I was very nervous about selling our home, as the local market was flooded with buyer options. Melissa made certain to prepare our open houses so the home looked it's best! She texted, called, and emailed - communicated what ever way to help us best. Then, when buying a home she was right there by my side. Overall, Melissa's professional and calm demeanor are two of many attributes she demonstrated so I knew I was working with the right person and company during these life changing moments.Thank you!
She is wonderful. Very professional and knowledgeable. Her responses through email/phone/texts are fast and she makes sure we have all our questions answered. This was my first home buying experience and it could not have gone any easier.
