ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I could not have had better realtors. We had worked with one other realtor and my mom mentioned seeing a FOR SALE sign with Melissa's info and decided to bite the bullet. When we met with Melissa and Juan it was a night and day difference from the previous realtor. They met with us to find out what we were looking for in a new home and we hit the ground running. I had been desperate to find a quiet and peaceful home for our little family and meeting them was such a blessing. They were extremely patient with us and we looked high and low until we found our little gem. I honestly could not say enough good things about them

ZillowVERIFIEDMelissa was absolutely amazing and executed the sale of my condo with lightning speed (yes, this one). I needed a fresh start after losing my spouse 7 years ago and staying here for so long. The place kept feeling bigger and bigger (and it's quite big to begin with). Melissa's compassionate approach and instructions were exactly what I needed. I'd been living here for ten years. The transition was seamless, and I was able to find the apartment of my dreams. I desperately needed a fresh start. I highly recommend her if you want someone in this area to treat you with respect and move you along gently, yet quickly. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a helping hand when you don't know where to start.

ZillowVERIFIEDAs a millennial in my late twenties and a first time home buyer, I had no idea what the home buying process looked like when searching for homes in So Cal. Melissa and Juan throughly guided me every step of the way. I needed plenty of help understanding real estate terminology and the steps required to purchase a home. I will be recommending them to my network as I have many great things to say about them!

ZillowVERIFIEDMelissa was FANTASTIC! She kept me informed every step of the way. Even though the property was difficult to sell, she nevertheless made it seem less. She did everything even things that weren't necessarily in her job description as our realtor. It was obvious that she had many years of experience. Her customer service was a 5 star+ ! :)

ZillowVERIFIEDLet me tell you...if you are looking for a team that will sell your house for top dollar and take all the burden off of your shoulders, Melissa Urena and her team is your answer!! They paid great attention to every detail possible and really made it a great experience to sell our house. Additionally, we also needed to purchase a house once we sold our house and that is where melissa's partner Juan Castro comes in to make the house shopping and buying experience a very enjoyable time!Juan sat down with us to find out what our needs and wants were in our next house and then helped us narrow everything down so everything made sense when we went house shopping. He did all the research about the houses before we went out so he could be as knowledgeable on the houses as possible. Long story short...They found us our dream home with their superior negation skills, and I would never go to anyone else to buy or sell a home but Melisa and Juan!!! They are truly the best in the business!!

ZillowVERIFIEDMelissa Urena and Juan Castro are fantastic agents! They sold our house for us in record time and at a record price. Not only that, but they provided us with tremendous support and advice during a really challenging time for our family. I know a dozen real estate agents, many of them personal friends, but we went with Melissa and Juan because they are quite literally the very best at what they do. I can't say enough great things about them and their entire team. Thank you Melissa and Juan!

ZillowVERIFIEDMichele and Melissa are great! Kind personalities with a knack for selling homes. They have a good team around them, and everybody is extremely organized and on top of things. They were in constant communication with the buyer's agent, and got all the fully executed disclosures, addendums, and other documents stored and sent to us without us even having to follow up with them. We have sold quite a few houses in the past, but doing this first one with Michele and Melissa was by far one of the smoothest transactions ever, if not the #1 smoothest. Highly recommend.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe are very fortunate to have found Melissa and her team to serve as our realtor. From the start we knew she was a real pro as she walked us through the selling process. As the market was cooling off a bit she helped manage our expectations and as a result after 2 weeks of open houses we got multiple offers that were in line with our home value. We got amazing online marketing, including walkthrough videos, drone and interior photos and social media presence. She was always there to answer any questions or concerns we had, advised and managed the price and contingency negotiations very well and helped us close within 21 days. Anyone would be lucky to have her and her team to represent them. Many thanks Melissa for all your help!

ZillowVERIFIEDHello,I had to the pleasure of working with Melissa's team. Michele was the realtor that walked me through the process from start to end. It took me about 11 months of searching but with Michele's help we were able to get our offer accepted and closed. I am a first time homebuyer but Michele ensured that I was informed and educated on the process. She answered all my questions and her response time was excellent. The team did an outstanding job adapting to the new policies and procedures created by Covid. I would recommend Melissa and her team but specially Michele for making this process as smooth as possible.

She maintained great punctuality in correspondence to any of my concerns and guided me throughout the entire selling process. If she was busy with another client, she made sure someone on her team assisted me. She is an excellent negotiator with a very personalized touch. Highly recommended!

ZillowVERIFIEDThis is my first home sale and I am so glad we went with Melissa and her crew. Her confidence in doing a good job locked us in when we met her. She made the home selling seem like a piece of cake! Melissa gave us weekly updates, even if we are just waiting for something on the buyer end. She breaks down what I need to do in easy to understand terms, sends reminders for me to get things done on time, and best of all I love that she gives her honest and professional opinion to best help us sell our home for the best price possible while also not being pushy about it. Our home sold faster and for more than I expected. I am very grateful Zillow referred Melissa to me. She did a wonderful job and made me feel involved yet not stressed at all throughout the process! Thats a pretty great feat for me being Type A. We were able to sell our home remotely since we moved out of state in under 2 months of our move from beginning to end. She adapted to our preference of communication (email,text) and still available for phone calls. THANK YOU MELISSA FOR EXCEEDING MY EXPECTATIONS!!

ZillowVERIFIEDI have known Melissa since our college days, but that's not the reason we chose her and her team. I have been following her on her social media in her journey as a realtor and have always been impressed by her knowledge, skills, and professionalism. Well I was right as we embarked on finding our home during a pandemic and a very competitive market. We found Melissa and her team to be patient, supportive, knowledgeable, skillful, and great at negotiating. We found our first home thanks to Melissa and her team, and made the process easy and painless. We highly recommend her. Hire her! You won't be disappointed.

ZillowVERIFIEDI contacted Melissa Urena when I decided to sell my house in Long Beach on Virginia av. To my surprise she came right away and introduced herself as being affiliated with John Hart and Associates. She was very warm, pleasant, professional and was knowledgeable of real estate and the Long Beach area.Along the way she introduced me to her partner Michele who also had the same demeanor and was always helpful and understanding. I also met Juan. Any questions I had Melissa and Michele were just a phone call or text away and never failed to respond.The most important thing is that Melissa sold my house in a record time at the initial price we agreed to and helped me along each way until the closing day. I actually held her back as I insisted on a 60 day closing when it could have been 30.I highly recommend Melissa and her team if you are looking to buy or sell a house. in a very smooth, timely and efficient way, with a peace of mind during the stressful process.Keep up the good work Melissa and Associates.

ZillowVERIFIEDI have been following Melissa and her team on social media for quite some time and have been impressed by previous clients' comments about their experience with Melissa UreA+-a & Associates. Let me tell you, it's all true! A day after calling Melissa to tell her I was ready to put an investment home on the market, she drove 2.5 hours to the high desert to do a walk around, within hours, she called me with her marketing plan. She kept me up to date and walked me through the process every step of the way. Melissa is knowledgeable, professional and has her clients best interests in mind. Hats off to Melissa UreA+-a & Associates who helped me sell a small investment home located in the high desert in four weeks! I will definitely be calling on Melissa UreA+-a & Associates again!

ZillowVERIFIEDZUzetsu0h7y13d_86zevI know Juan Castro personally, and when I needed a realtor for two family transactions, I contacted him and Melissa Urena for help. Both homes needed a lot of work, and even though we had offers requiring financing, they found me cash buyers at the same price point. They were able to close each transaction within two weeks. They are great communicators, and they made the whole process very easy and stress free. I would highly recommend them to anyone trying to sell or buy a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDFirst let me start off by saying we were simultaneously selling our first home while buying a new home all during the COVID-19 pandemic. So understandably our buying and selling experience was a tumultuous one due to uncontrollable circumstances. I am convinced however, that Melissa and her team are the only ones that could have pulled it off.Her almost prophetic knowledge and experience of the real estate market kept us one step ahead of the process and were able to swiftly and promptly overcome the problems as they arose. Buying a home is an exciting and rewarding experience but is often stressful. You CAN NOT go wrong by choosing Melissa and her team as your representative, I have experienced first hand her professionalism, tenacity and compassion. Great job team!
