Melissa Stewart

Q: 1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?

Connect with a Realtor from the beginning. They will be able to guide you throughout the entire process with providing you critical information about lenders and different loan products to market trends in different areas, new construction, new regulations and rules, the local economy and demographics on areas you are interested in searching in.

Q: 2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?

Spend time with a professional Realtor up front to assist you in getting your home staged properly from the very beginning. Oftentimes Seller's think de-personalizing a home is the best way to sell their home, or they move out completely and then make the call to have the home listed. That can actually hurt your marketing efforts. Allow a professional to come in and take a look and provide you with advice on how to best stage and market your home.

Q: 3. What types of clients have you worked with?

I have worked with both Seller's and Buyer's in Virginia. I am knowledgeable about land and land development.

Q: 4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?

I remember all of my transactions. But more times than not, I enjoy helping a retirement family looking to sell in order to move to their final destination or the first time Buyer looking to make their first major investment in their future!

Q: 5. How did you get started in Real Estate?

I started in real estate back in 2002 when the market was on fire. I wanted to be closer to my children who had just started school and was tired of the commute to DC from Stafford, VA. I never imagined I would be embarking in my lifelong career and have loved every minute of it!

Q: 6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?

I educate myself yearly. I take continuing education each year, I take classes to educate my clients on new laws regarding home ownership benefits, changes in flood insurance, home insurance, taxes, and legal documents as well. I take many classes on the latest technology so that I am effectively marketing my listings and providing my Buyer's with the best tools to make an informed decision.

About Melissa Stewart

Thanks for taking a moment to review my profile. I was born in Prince William County and moved to Stafford County when I was 5. I love this area, and while I moved out of state early in life due to my husband's commitments with the Army, it is always where we come back to. It is home to my family. I have loved raising my children here. I love enjoying all 4 seasons and being within a few hours from DC, the ocean, skiing, or hiking in the mountains. For me, Virginia has it all, and our area is perfectly positioned to enjoy it all. Another thing I love is my job. I love being a Realtor. I have been a licensed Realtor in Virginia for 20 years, and there is not much out there I have not listed or sold. I primarily work with Buyers and Sellers of residential properties. I also work with land sales and development. I have consistently been a top producer and am extremely committed to representing my clients from our initial phone call to far beyond closing. I am always a phone call/text away, and I believe that exceptional service is a requirement, not just an expectation. Please contact me at (540) 809-4547 if you or someone you know needs my real estate services.

Melissa did an outstanding job with assisting me with buying and selling a home. She is kind, responsive, knowledgeable, & everything in between. She explained the entire process to me from start to end since I was a first time home buyer & took all my calls, early in the morning & late at night. Her decades of experience show with her work ethic. I would recommend her to anybody looking to buy or sell.

Melissa is hands down THE best! We had not been in our home long enough to gain equity when we decided to move to a different area. She used her supurb negotiating skills to get us over a full price offer and moved into another home. Now, 6 years later, she still responds whenever we have a question! You dont get that kind of service many places! She will always have our full recommendation!

Melissa is very detailed oriented when it came to sitting down and telling us the seller what is needed to accomplish, in order to get the price we wanted for our homes. Melissa gave us honest critiques on keeping our house decor neutral. All her expertise and professional advice and guidance on what makes a successful sale paid off. Our home sold in 45 minutes was invaluable and priceless. She is an excellent Realtor.

We couldnt have been blessed with a better realtor!

Melissa provided excellent realtor service. We used her to buy and sale our home. She is experienced in real estate sales, she performed thorough market analysis and she listens to your needs and provides honest advice. She worked for us and got our home sold so we did not have to carry two mortgages. I would definitely use her again and I highly recommend her.

i can not describe the experience I had with Melissa Stewart. She was so very knowledgeable and professional in her findings for me. I asked for a few specific items and she exceeded my expectations. Buying a home out of state was a hard process and she made it very simple and pleasant for me. She treated me like a friend and for that I am very grateful. She would be a person for anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you Melissa Stewart you are the best

My family was truly blessed to have Melissa as our realtor almost 2 years ago when we bought our beautiful home. She understood our needs from the beginning and worked extremely hard to meet them. During the process we encountered a little adversity with one home that we were initially going to purchase and had to restart our home search; Melissa's high patience was extremely crucial throughout which resulted in a smoother process than we anticipated. Melissa made herself readily available to meet with us to view more homes because at the time we were residing in temporary lodging. Once we identified our new home, Melissa did her research and used her negotiation skills to the max. We were very pleased to have purchased our home $30,000 under the asking price and one year later we could not be any happier with our new home and community. Melissa's experience was definitely evident throughout; she was very familiar with the area and surrounding areas along with the school districts. Our search went from Colonial Beach, King George, and Fredericksburg and she drove with us to view as many houses as we needed to see. Melissa became more than our realtor she is now a family friend.

We connected with Melissa without any recommendations. Our overall experience was great and we would recommend Melissa for the entire home buying experience. We gave Melissa a set of criteria for our home, and in no time she had provided us options to look over online and then scheduled tours for the homes we wanted to look at. In short, Melissa made it a breeze to find the right home and worked hard to get everything we were asking. I recommend giving Melissa a try because she will work with your needs in mind
