Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned seller, Melissa is well-equipped to help you navigate the next chapter of your life. Having grown up in Canton, Melissa loves introducing clients to the area. It genuinely feels like a small town where everyone knows everyone with its welcoming aura and close-knit community. Life in Canton has become a family affair for Melissa, with her parents still living in the area and her best friends also calling the region home. She is especially proud to be raising her children in her hometown. For the past five years, Melissa has served Canton and its surrounding communities, including Sharon and Westwood. Along with loving the down-to-earth vibe and close distance to Boston, Melissa is also a dedicated philanthropist and regularly participates in town functions and organizations. She is currently a member of the Conservation Commission and the Community Preservation Commission. She is also actively involved in Canton Association of Business and Industry's. Melissa is a strong proponent of family values. Her husband has been immensely supportive throughout her career, even helping her decide to become a realtor. Before getting her license, Melissa spent 17 years working in the pharmaceutical industry. Eventually, her husband convinced her to channel her empathetic, charismatic personality into a full-fledged career in real estate. Her years working in pharmaceuticals prepared her for the operations, leadership, and marketing aspects of being an agent. Throughout the past several years, Melissa has become renowned for her client-oriented approach, keeping her customers at the center of everything she does. From the very first meeting until they reach the closing table, it's a team effort. Melissa excels at guiding her clients to the end with minimal stress by working side-by-side with them until finishing the deal. People see her as a rare professional who consistently makes herself available to her clients at all hours of the day. Detail-oriented and responsive, Melissa will make you feel safe, secure, and well taken care of throughout the transaction. She truly values getting to know her clients and bringing a sense of fun, peace, and joy to her work. Melissa is incredibly close to her family and loves spending time with them when she's not working. She and her husband have two teens at home: Sabrina, 15, and Sam, 17. While Sabrina looks almost identical to her mother, it is Melissa's husband that she takes after in personality. In contrast, Sam looks like his father but has more of Melissa's character traits. Her big, energetic family keeps her on her toes, and Melissa wouldn't have it any other way!

    Working with Amy was an absolute dream! As first-time homebuyers, we couldnt have asked for a better experience. She was extremely punctual, professional, and organized every step of the way, making the entire process feel seamless and comfortable. Amy truly listened to our needs and wants and went above and beyond to make sure we found our perfect home. Her attention to detail and genuine care for her clients set her apart. We are so grateful for her guidance and support aEUR" not only did we find our dream home, but we also gained a lasting connection and friendship. Well be working exclusively with Amy for any future real estate needs!

    Melissa is a consummate professional. Selling my brothers property was uniquely challenging; he is very ill and couldnt take an active role, and our family had differing (and sometimes unrealistic) expectations about price and process. Melissa handled it with a nuanced, steady approach. She gave each of us room to be heard, kept communication clear and respectful, and guided us toward a shared plan. She managed the details end-to-end, kept us informed at each step, and showed genuine compassion for our situation. Thanks to her judgment and calm negotiation, the home sold for a better price than we initially thought possible. She was precisely the right person for a challenging job: skilled, patient, and deeply considerate. Highest recommendation.

    Melissa and her team were extremely professional and efficient, as well as very knowledgeable about the local Canton market. I could not be happier with the entire process and their attention to detail made for a smooth and seamless process. Every step was clearly explained to me and I knew what to expect at each stage of the selling process. I would highly recommend The Mayer Group to anyone selling (or buying) in the Canton area.

    We highly recommend Amy if you are in the market for a new home. She is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and was with us every step in the process. Amy is a true hunter. We were getting notifications daily of new homes coming on the market, with pros/cons of each. She was always available for an open house or try to get us a private viewing, and always showed up incredibly prepared and informed about the property. Amy really made the whole process enjoyable and as stress free as possible. She is a wonderful person and agent and we will always use her for our future real estate needs. You will be in good hands with Amy!

    Amy was warm, knowledgeable and super responsive in our home buying process. We were first time homebuyers and she made us feel well represented and at ease. We were living out of state during the search and she went to so many open houses and private viewings and facetimed us providing super thorough comments. She helped us narrow our search, negotiate effectively and find our dream home!

    Answered Questions

    How do I negotiate a realtor's payment?

    Negotiating a realtor's commission is understandable, and the key is to approach it with respect and a focus on value. Instead of simply asking for a lower rate, have an open conversation about the services provided and how their strategy will maximize your sale price. Ask about their marketing approach, negotiation skills, and track record, as a top agent often justifies their commission by delivering a higher net profit. Consider alternative structures like a tiered commission, reduced fees for dual transactions, or creative incentives that align with your goals. Keep in mind that an agent who easily cuts their own commission may not be the strongest negotiator for your home sale. Instead of just focusing on cost, focus on valueaEUR"because the right agent can make a far bigger impact on your bottom line than a small percentage change in commission.
