About Melissa Mayer

As a Massachusetts native and seasoned real estate agent who consistently ranks in the top 5% of agents in her firm, Melissa Mayer values cultivating relationships with her clients and works diligently to give them a superior customer service experience. 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!

Melissa and her team were exceptional to work with! This was our first home buying experience and they made everything as simple and seamless as possible. We are now just weeks away from closing on our first home and we could not be more excited! 10/10 recommend Melissa and her team to anyone looking to buy in the South Shore.

We had a phenomenal experience working with Amy as first-time homebuyers! From the very beginning, she brought deep knowledge of the market, a thoughtful and honest perspective, and a calm, steady approach that helped us feel confident at every step. Her expertise, proactiveness, and on-going encouragement guaranteed that we would find the perfect home with her help. Amy is incredibly responsive. She patiently answered our many questions by text, phone, and email, and always made sure we had the information we needed. At each showing, she pointed out details we wouldve missed, keeping our interests front and center. Amy truly listens: she understood what we were looking for, gave us space to think things through, and when the moment called for it, she moved fast and decisively to advocate for us. When we found the home we loved, Amy guided us through making a competitive offer that felt smart and strategic. During closing, she helped us negotiate key items with ease and professionalism. Her strong local network was a huge bonus: from early insights into homes coming to market to referrals for inspectors and contractors, we felt supported by a whole team. Even after the sale, Amy continued to check in and share local recommendations that helped us settle in smoothly. Shes the kind of realtor - and person - who truly has your back. Amy goes above and beyond for her clients; shes the best agent you could hope for. Were so grateful we had the chance to work with her and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone buying or selling a home!

Working with Melissa and her team (especially Jake!) was an incredible experience. As first-time, out-of-town buyers, my wife and I had no idea what to expect, but Melissa and Jake guided us through every step and made the whole process feel straightforward and even fun. She responded to our first email within an hour and set up a call the next morning. She knew Canton inside and out and helped us put together a great list of homes that matched exactly what we were looking for. Since we were out of town buyers she even visited some houses herself and sent us videos with honest feedback, which helped us narrow things down quickly for when we visited Canton aEUR" we ended up finding our dream home on our very first day of showings! During negotiations, Melissa helped us put together a strong offer, and we were able to close on our dream home just 6 weeks after first reaching out. She and her team were there for everything: coordinating the inspection, connecting us with a great lawyer and lender, and recommending/coordinating excellent contractors (e.g., painting, floors, and HVAC), all before we even moved in. Melissa really took the time to understand what was important to us (like walkability to specific train lines while still having great access to nature and nice shops nearby). She was always open, honest, and patient, and made sure we felt comfortable and informed the entire time. We felt completely confident knowing she had our backs. We cant recommend Melissa and her team enough aEUR" theyre fantastic at what they do and are wonderful to work with.

We worked with Julie when we first bought our home in 2017 and again recently as sellers for the same home. She is exceptional at what she does and will guide you through the whole process. She is always there to answer any questions at any time and will always give you her honest feedback. This process can be daunting but working with Julie makes it much easier! Highly recommended working with her!

We had an incredible experience working with Amy. From day one, she was dedicated, patient, and relentless in helping us find our dream home. She took us to countless listings, always keeping a close eye on the market and never losing sight of what we were looking foraEUR"even when it felt like we were searching for a needle in a haystack. Her knowledge, professionalism, and persistence paid off when she found the perfect house for us. She skillfully negotiated a price that both we and the seller were happy with, making the process smooth and stress-free. We couldnt have asked for a better real estate agent. Were so grateful for everything she did to help us land our perfect 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.
