I wanted to take a moment to post about the excellent experience I had working with Melissa Jenkins. From the very start of the process until the end, she was a complete joy to work with. In the very beginning when I was only thinking about selling my home, she provided substantive information and resources which helped to inform me on my decision. She also took the time to talk through several scenarios which made the process much more comfortable than I anticipated.Once I decided that I was ready to sell, she communicated every step of the way as she hired a professional photographer, sought my input on the listing and determined the price. To my surprise, we had an offer within the first week! This is where Melissa really shined as an agent as she informed me of the current state of the market and began negotiating. She was in contact with me constantly and her knowledge about current housing trends definitely played a big role in my decision to accept an offer. Her experience, expertise and frequent communication were instrumental in building my trust. It is because of this trust that I accepted an offer shortly after listing. (My lack of experience caused me to think that maybe I should wait and see what other offers might come in the weeks ahead. I am so glad I didn't wait because it worked out perfectly!). I am so thankful to have had her as my agent and would happily recommend her to anyone in need of a sensational Real Estate Sales Representative.She is the best!
Such an amazing professional! Melissa Jenkins was a joy to work with. I reside in northern California and was selling property in Somerset, New Jersey. I reached out to Melissa the end of June 2018 regarding listing the property. She immediately contacted me and we began to start the process. Due to the 3 hour time difference I had thought this was going to be a nightmare to get done. Melissa took the time difference into account, managed/respected it and was able to communicate with me effectively. Melissa took the time to explain how documents would sent/handled and signed. The necessary paperwork was forwarded to me via email for electronic signature.Once Melissa received access to the property she immediately informed me of the minor modification that needed to before listing the property. Pictures of the property were completed and the property was listed on July 13. Melissa continued to keep me abreast of the potential offers that were coming in. At this point things were moving quite fast. Melissa inquired if I had a particular attorney that I wanted to utilize. I told her that I did not have an attorney in NJ. Melissa responded back with several recommendations. I made my selection and informed Melissa. I accepted an offer and needless to say we closed on August 1! I was so impressed with Melissas professionalism that I inquired if she could assist me on the purchase of some property in Nevada. It was a true pleasure to work with Melissa Jenkins. She was on point every step of the way and kept me well informed.
We have worked with Melissa before when we bought the house. After all these years, her knowledge of the current market was benificial. We were able to get lots people interested within a week. Even after offers start coming in, Melissa kept it well managed and update in timely manner. The whole process was quick and easy thanks to her. Would highly recommend!
Melissa listed and helped us sell our house. She was very responsive and was always available to answer any questions during the whole process. She believes in transparency and kept us updated at every stage. She even helped us stage our house to make it stand out. We highly recommend her for any kind of real estate transactions.
Organization and communication are the key to any good realtor. Melissa is extraordinary at both. Not only was she highly organized and detail oriented, she also communicated frequently with me regarding every aspect of my home sale. She truly cares about her clients and puts them first. I can't imagine anyone doing a better job.
Melissa was great! She helped us buy a house and sell our house. She made the process smooth and easy. I would highly recommend Melissa for both buying and selling a home!
When we met Melissa Jenkins for the first time, it was such a pleasant experience. We felt like we knew her for ages. She was so personable, friendly, and overall such a warm person. We didn't think twice about using anyone else for our home purchasing needs. We knew immediately that she was the one!There are many reasons that we loved working with Melissa Jenkins. Her understanding of our situation, her patience with us to get our needs fulfilled and getting us answers within a reasonable amount of time, being able to trust her and have open communication throughout the process, her email and text responses at all times of the day (even when she shouldn't have been working). Melissa is a true professional and she makes her clients her number 1 priority. She has a strong work ethic and we couldn't have been more lucky to have found her and worked with her.Melissa's assistance each step of the way made the whole experience of purchasing a home so much easier than we anticipated. She walked us through every step and helped us get through every challenge that we faced. The only thing that was stopping us from purchasing a home was the lack of knowledge regarding the mortgage/purchasing process. Melissa explained everything to us in a way so we understood it easily and she let us know next steps throughout the entire process. If it weren't for her, we would still be renting!!!I would highly recommend Melissa Jenkins to all of my friends and family. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, friendly, relatable, and she knows how to get the job done! Melissa is truly the entire package. We feel so blessed that were able to find her. We had such a pleasant experience purchasing a home for the first time mainly because of her. We would never consider using anyone else for our real estate needs. More than anything, we found a great friend in Melissa. She is truly a beautiful person in and out and a work-a-holic!!!
My wife and I recently purchased a home using Melissa Jenkins. Melissa was very easy to work with and made us feel comfortable throughout the purchasing process. She was very accessible and one step ahead the entire way. We highly recommend Melissa and look forward to working with her in the future.
Melissa was delightful to work with. She came to my home to give me an appraisal and did not pressure me at all. When I decided to sell my home she made several suggestions to improve its appeal. She was also very patient while we were buying our new home. She showed us many homes and again was very patient with us.

Melissa is masterfully adept at dealing with any sort of special circumstance you might have in selling your home. Regardless of selling price, she will always give you her full attention. She remains upbeat & positive, and cares for her clients. I can 100% recommend her to be your agent for your home sale or purchase!
Melissa is a very responsible person and is always there for any clarifications you have. Its only because of her responsiveness and being on top of things with proper follow up that we were able to buy our home. Many many thanks Melissa!!!
Melissa was always available and helpful with all of our questions and needs. She is willing to go the extra mile to help sell your home! She worked with our renters to find good times to show our home and always kept us in the loop. It was sold promptly, as we had hoped for!
Melissa did an amazing job from start to finish and went above and beyond with everything. I highly recommend her to anyone! Anytime we were not home, she would be the first to offer to take care of everything. It was a very easy going process and the help from Melissa was outstanding!
Melissa is a powerhouse real estate professional that really goes the extra mile for her clients. My wife and I have worked with Melissa to find our new home (closed in November 2015), and have since worked with Melissa to find a qualified tenant for our rental condo. Melissa is knowledgeable, trustworthy, hardworking, resourceful, and well respected by others in the business. Two of my friends referred Melissa to me when we decided to buy a house, and we'd highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a real estate professional to represent them to buy/sell/rent a home. A+++

We highly recommend Melissa, she was the first person responding our inquiry. She was very engaged in the process, listened to our priorities and concerns and responded them very promptly
Melissa was a complete lifesaver. Without her, I doubt we would have been able to close on our home last week. Ultimately, we were having issues with both our attorney (who was unresponsive), and our lender (which, for some reason did not accept a temporary CO on our new construction home). I am really glad that we kept her in the loop, because she was the one who was making the phone calls and driving to our town's municipal building sweet talking the construction department to get the information that the lender needed to clear us for closing. She responded almost immediately to all our inquiries and I would say, made our closing happen. She really had our back and it put us at ease for our first home purchase. I highly recommend Melissa as a real estate agent. She's one of a kind.
The most professional real estate agent I've ever worked with - end to end. Very patient, friendly, punctual, knowledgeable, detail oriented and professional. Highly recommend.
From the moment my husband and I met Melissa Jenkins we felt very conftable with her. She was very nice and professional. She knew exactly what we were interested in buying and was very Patient with us. Every time we had any questions, Melissa always replied back to us right away. When issues occurred Melissa never hesitated to take charge to help resolve the issues. She helped us to negotiate and it worked out for us. Personally my husband and I will recommend her to my family, friend or anyone that is looking to buy a house.
Ms Jenkins experience and knowledge made our working relationship very stress free.All information received during open houses helped find qualified buyers very quickly.
The home buying process can be a nightmare if you don't have the right team (mortgage broker, lawyer, real estate agent, home inspector). We had to go thru several under achieving agents before I found Melissa. We left her a message about a particular home that we saw online on a Sunday afternoon. In less than three hours we were standing in that very same home! Melissa made our home search her priority. I'm sure she does the same with all her clients. Her professionalism and attitude was highly appreciated. She was always on time for our meetings and gave some great advice on potential neighborhoods. I am grateful for all the time and effort Melissa put into our search for a home. She is an awesome agent!!

I have worked with Melissa for 3 real estate transactions over the past 6 years. She is hardworking, trustworthy and always quick to respond to any issues or questions that I had throughout the home buying process. She is a well respected agent who is very knowledgable about the community and the real estate field; and I have learned a lot from working with her over the years.
Melissa is a real pro. Her followup is very professional and diligent and she helped us all the way from start to finish. The best part of it all -- once we sold our our house, a few months later, arrived a hand sketch of our house beautifully framed, compliments of Melissa. That was an icing on the cake. We have hung the sketch in our new house, as a cherished memory. Will surely recommend her and advise folks to use her service and follow her advice if you want to sell fast. She has our constant stream of referrals. A++ easy to work with.

Over the past year Melissa has helped my family and I sell a home, rent a vacant rental property and purchase a new home. She was very attentive to our needs and kept us well informed throughout the entire experience. I would highly recommend Melissas services as she is very resourceful, very professional, very knowledgeable and extremely patient.
Melissa understood exactly what I was looking for in a home, and made the process of searching for a home fun and easy. She narrowed in on what I wanted quickly, and quickly found me the perfect home in my price range, which I did not think was even possible.
Melissa is very understanding and very patient with us. She help us thoughout the process. She is always available if we have any questions. Even after closing, she make sure that everything is in order.
Melissa is purely the BEST real estate agent in the business. Prior to meeting Melissa, my wife and I spent over 1.5yrs searching for our first home. In that time frame, we have dealt with a number agents and couldn't find anyone who seemed to care about our needs, not only in buying a home but how my family could sustain a home after the purchase. Melissa included our needs, concerns and our opinions in every decision made during this process. Thanks to her, we purchased our first home and the home buying process was easy and enjoyable. I would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a home!
Working with Melissa is fantastic! She is the utmost professional, goes the extra mile and then some, knows the market extremely well, is consistently responsive and just an all around nice, warm, friendly person! My sale was the result of a difficult situation, and Melissa was there every step of the way to talk, take care of any detail I could not get to, and worked her hardest to get my place sold in a timely manner. I cannot recommend Melissa's services enough! She is a 5-Star Realtor!
Working with Melissa was an wonderful experience. She was always available and never made me feel like I was a bother no matter how many times I contacted her (which were many). I can't imagine working with anyone else. From the search to the sale to securing the mortgage, through the home inspection and right to the closing, she was always there. I highly recommend this true professional. If you are buying or selling a home, look no further than Melissa Jenkins. She is a first rate Realtor.

It was a pleasure working with Melissa, A very kind person, helping us with a lot of time and dedication to get the house that we were looking for and not a house to buy quick. It took several houses to go around and we didn't get pressure with her. She steered us in the perfect direction and found the absolutely perfect home. I can' t say enough in recommending Melissa as an agent.
