Randy and Melodee bring expertise and excellence to every home buying and selling experience. Our family has had the pleasure of working with them multiple times over the last few years, in both purchasing a home and selling a home. In both situations, they bring a great amount of knowledge in order to create the best outcome for your family. We cannot recommend them enough!
Would highly recommend working with Melodee and Randy! We have known Melodee for almost a decade. When we decided to sell our starter house and look for a new home we knew we wanted to work with Melodee. She is honest, loyal and extremely knowledgeable of the market trends. Melodee helped guide us through the entire process (which we did not have with our first realtor when we bought our first home). As "picky" buyers, Melodee was extremely patient with us and encouraging. She never gave up on us. Through her incredible network she found us a home we LOVED before it even hit the market in the Spring of 2021 when almost every home was going into multiple offers. We are so grateful to her! We are hoping to stay in this home forever as we absolutely love it, but would hire Melodee and her team in a heartbeat if need be as they are the real deal and do a phenomenal job.
We have known Melodee and Randy for years and have watched them work with several people we know including my parents. When it came time for us to start looking for our first home we knew we wanted to work with them. They really wanted to make sure that we were making the best investment possible, especially in the crazy market that we were dealing with. We ended up going the new build route and they were at every meeting to make sure to ask questions that we didn't think of and be that extra support. They really treat their clients like family and go above and beyond to take care of you!
Melodee was exceptional! From the very first conversation, she took time to learn our familys story of why we were moving and really got to know what was important to our family in the process. She was knowledgeable in the laws and rules of real estate and helped us learn more about the community we were exploring. In a tough market, she fought for us by pursuing listings, networking with other listing agents, and educating us on how to write a solid offer that still met our budgetary needs. She was always available to us for showings, and partnered well with her husband when she couldnt be right there. In a competitive market, we always knew shed get us in quickly so we didnt miss an opportunity. She was professional, personal, and communicated so well. We highly recommend working with Melodee and Randy and feel so blessed to have had her leading the way in our recent move!
The Melodee Brooks Group was AMAZING! They did a pre-listing on our home to pique interest and our home sold the FIRST DAY it hit the market! This was our seventh home to sale and this was the best Real Estste Group we have EVER had!
Very professional, friendly and willing to go the extra mile in order to do what is in the best interests of the customer. We live an hour away from Minneapolis and he picked up supplies for us and advised us on where to get the best deals to help get our home ready for showings.
So many good things to say about our experience working with Melodee and Randy Brooks. First and most important, they got the job done in a tough market. From the beginning, the many contributions from Melodee's team and network helped us maximize our home's appeal on-line and during showings. Photography, paint, staging, open house strategy, even the way we were presented during the realtor's open house made a difference. Melodee's salesmanship and in-depth knowledge of the neighborhood, community and school system helped bring our buyers to the table with an offer. From there it was back to her network of professionals to get us through inspection, repairs and closing. All-in-all, The Melodee Brooks Team is exceptional and I highly recommend them!
Melodee and Randy were EXCEPTIONALLY helpful in helping us find our first home. They care so much about people, which is why they are so good at what they do. We found a townhouse for the most amazing deal and it was all because Melodee found it for us. I HIGHLY recommend Melodee and Randy to anyone looking to buy or sell.
We had a very good experience with Darin Brooks of purchasing our new home. He had knowledge and recommendations of options that are desirable in new housing. He was very helpful in giving advice and the oversight of the new construction.
Melodee Brooks was amazing!!! She was so easy to work with and found us exactly what we were looking for, which is almost impossible in this market right now. She was quick, always available for our endless questions, and professional. Melodee was honest and always had our best interest in mind. You simply cannot get anyone better than her!
Melodee was an absolute standout. We interviewed multiple agents and chose Melodee for her experience and expertise; we're so glad that we did. Above all, we were looking for someone who'd be easy to work with and a great communicator as we were hoping to sell the home remotely. We got all of that and more with Melodee and her top-notch staff. Three examples: 1. Melodee was the only agent we interviewed that priced the home correctly and predicted the market (had we gone with others we would have left tens of thousands of dollars on the table!). 2. We ran into an unsavory buyer who, long story short, attempted to pull out. Melodee handled the situation with grace and, thanks to her networking and contacts, helped us secure another firm buyer -- at even higher purchase price, if you can believe it. 3. Melodee gave us advice about the inspection process that turned out to be spot on, and helped pave the way for a smooth closing. On top of that, she and her team handled the inspection and cleaning of the home from afar, and I never doubted their professionalism for a moment. Finally, let me just say that Melodee is an authentic straight-shooter, who immensely helped first-time homesellers feel like they had an expert and friend on their side. She was always accessible, prompt and responsive. We could go on and on, but the bottom line: hire her! You won't be sorry.
Working with Melodee was truly a pleasure. So professional and completely comfortable to work with. And talk about results. Fast sale and an expert in market analysis. And we got thousands over the list price. Melodee, Randy, and Emily were always there for us and available whenever we needed assistance. They are definitely the best at what they do. I would highly recommend them!
Melodee Brooks and her team couldnt have provided better service to us during our home search - truly a phenomenal experience. Melodee is sharp, has strong integrity, and was extremely insightful in a variety of ways throughout the process. Melodee was also extremely responsive in communication. (She even helped us late at night when she had the flu, and on another occasion, she stayed up late to help us while she was at a conference.) Melodee clearly knows the Twin Cities suburbs area and had great insight to help us find the perfect home. We were first time home-buyers, and she answered all our questions and taught us a lot about home-buying. She and her team gave 110% throughout the entire process, and it was a pleasure to work with her and the team. Highly recommend!
Thank you to Melodee & Randy Brooks for a wonderful experience in buying our home in the Twin Cities. Moving to new state mad for tight time lines and extra advice since we knew few in the area. Melodee could not have been more accommodating and helpful. In looking for a home, Melodee spent 2 full days we us during our three days in the Twin Cities. She was kind and patient. (We had our four children in tow!) She was honest in her knowledge of return on investment of the properties we looked at. And she was positive in sharing her creative vision the homes we toured. Melodee worked tirelessly on our behalf- first during negotiations, and then all the way up until our closing date. Because we purchased a home that was short sale with multiple liens against it, there was more paper work, more waiting, and more communication needed. Melodee, Randy, and staff did a wonderful job of staying on top of all of the moving pieces, even while we were states away. Because of Melodee & Randy's professionalism, knowledge, and diligence, we were able to close and move into our home on time. So far, our home has proven to be a wonderful fit for our family!
Melodee provided us with excellent advice and guidance that resulted in a great experience and successful sale. Residing out of state, her meticulous attention to details and timely follow up was reassuring and provided us with good visibility to the preparation and sale.
Melodee helped us buying our home in Edina. We are truly satisfied with having her as our realtor. As the first-time homebuyers, we were on a steep learning curve. Melodee was very patient and respectful to us throughout the long process of house-hunting. She showed us a lot of houses, provided us key inputs (the things that adds to property values and the things that are going to hurt future sale), but she never tried to impose her opinions on us. We found her to be well-organized, punctual and professional. We felt that she understands the dynamics local housing Market very well and has a very good perception of the true value of any specific property. We were also very happy with her negotiating skills during making the offer. Overall, she has all the good qualities of an excellent realtor. We are very glad that we found her. She deserves a lot of credits in finding our dream home. Her husband Randy, who works with her, is also amazing. We hope to work with Melodee in future.
Mr. Brooks is a phenomenal agent of whom I could not say enough good things about. He was involved both in the purchase of my first home three years ago and the sale of that home this past summer. During the purchase three years ago he was a trusted advisor, making the purchase process a breeze. When a relocation opportunity arose this past summer there was no question who would be selling my home. It had to be Mr. Brooks, who immediately responded to my request to do a walkthrough with me, and he again advised me - this time on what I needed to do get the most out of the sale. I took his advice and it paid off tremendously! Mr. Brooks' hard work, marketing expertise, and drive to do BOTH what is best and right quickly landed my home in a multi-offer situation. In less than one week he had the house sold for a significant amount more than the asking price! Bottom-line: Mr. Brooks is the BEST agent out there and there is no doubt that he and I will be working together again in the future.
Melodee is truly one of the BEST realtors in the twin cities! Professional, knowledgeable and above all honest with integrity to match. Her attention to all aspects of the transaction makes the process flow so seamlessly. Excellent communication and market knowledge helped her negotiate top dollar and a quick sale for our property in multiple offers! Backed up by her team of professionals from staging to photography, you will be impressed by them all! Thank you Melodee for all your hard work!
I am so thankful for Melodee and her team successfully selling our condo in Chanhassen! There were many challenges along the way, but she was creative, helpful, tenacious and easy to work with! Her team was responsive, detailed and efficient. Thanks for making it a good experience for us during a hard time for my family...and for getting it SOLD! If I ever need to sell a property again, The Melodee Brooks Group would be my top choice!
We absolutely loved working with Randy and Melodee Brooks! We could not have asked for a better experience. They found us the perfect home and helped us along the entire process to make a smooth transition for our family.
Melodee Brooks and the Melodee Brooks Group at Edina Realty exceeded all our expectations. It was pretty much an unbelievable and amazing experience. Our home had been on the market for 13 months and we were pretty discouraged. We relisted our home with Melodee Brooks and the plan was to place it back on the market/MLS in late February or March. Melodee placed our home on Zillow and it sold prior to being listed on MLS. And sold it for full list price! The only thing that changed with listing of our home was Melodee, her marketing skills, The Melodee Brooks Group, Edina Realty and staging of the home. The list price was the same as prior to Melodee. It was a pleasure to work with Melodee and her group and I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in selling or purchasing real estate. We could not have asked for or ever expected such a good result.
Great person to work with when going through the love/hate task of buying or selling your home. He made it stress free and used his resources and helpful nature to make it smooth and effortless. He's a really good and honest person. We're happy we found him.
We ran into Randy at an open house and are we ever thankful for our good luck with that! Upon learning of His and Melodee's knowledge of the area, we thought we'd see how things went in our home search with Randy. Well goodbye nervousness and hello confidence...he was fun, superb and upbeat at every facet of our days looking, not to mention he was a great teacher for us relatively inexperienced buyers which made us feel so much better when you have a trustworthy and knowledgeable friend of an agent. After successfully landing our new home with Randy, we had no doubt about having him list our old home right after that and his advise in that regard was spot-on and again a huge teacher for us 1st time sellers..."THAT HOUSE SOLD SO FAST WE COULDN'T BELIEVE IT"! These two are second to none in our book and we do not have a single reservation about calling them the second we're thinking of our next housing transaction...love these two!
The Brooks group and Edina Realty were instrumental in selling our home in Carver MN a small town located west of Minneapolis. We really enjoyed the latest in technology they provided us for alerts, updates and document sharing. Texting us appointment requests allowed us to quickly respond and make the house ready to show without long delays in response time. We were able to access the feedback home shoppers instantly We were able to make the staging and update recommendations quickly and without breaking the bank. Melodee and team are very responsive, professional and care about the needs of my family. We would strongly suggest you sit down with The Melodee Brooks group for selling your existing house or buying your next home.
Melodee and Randy were highly recommended and we were not disappointed. They're a pleasant, very communicative team that helps you keep the goal in mind. In our case, Melodee worked on the agreement and negotiation end and Randy more on the end of getting us ready to list. Together they helped us to come to a starting place for price then marketed our house brilliantly. We had multiple offers before it went on the market and sold it for more than the proposed list price. Even their manager, Phil Holm, is a great guy!
Randy and Melodee Brooks provided a wonderful service while they helped us sell a property belonging to our parents who live out of the country. Even though the entire transaction was done remotely they maintained communication to make sure our parents understood the things they could do to sale the property faster. Once they got a buyer and inspection was done, Randy was very helpful in arranging/coordinating all of the service providers who would do the fixes for us and he went the extra mile to call many places to make sure we got the most reasonable prices for the services. We appreciate all they did for us and would recommend Melodee and Randy to anyone who has a real state need.
It was absolutely fantastic working with Melodee and Randy. On all levels. They not only are kind and humble but extremely knowledgeable about the market. They helped us positon our property in such a away that we got the maximum value. I would highly recommend them to any home Buyer or Seller.
We had talked with 3 other agents, and just weren't happy with any market and pricing analysis. Then a friend of ours recommended Melodee and Randy. We are so glad we signed on with them. We've moved 7 or 8 times and have been fortunate to work with good agents. However, we must say this was the best experience!! It doesn't get any better. Melodee knows the market and priced our home to sell pretty quickly. She sold the home in one day! Hard to believe, but it's true. Then Randy's attention to detail is absolutely fantastic. He took care of things on their end, and made sure that we didn't drop the ball on our end. You will be happy that you chose Melodee and Randy!
My husband and I chose Melodee and Randy Brooks to sell our home. They were exceptional from pre-sale prep all of the way through to closing! They were quick to respond to any questions and listened to and addressed my concerns. Very professional!!
We used Melodee and Randy Brooks to list our home last year. We had already moved out of state so needed someone we could trust to assist us in getting the work completed to get our home on the market. The Brooks had great connections for painters, carpenters, roofers, etc. We were very pleased with their work and how quickly it was completed. The same weekend we closed on our home, Melodee showed us a number of condos and townhomes. We chose to put an offer on one of them and Melodee had it wrapped up that same day. She and Randy were so helpful and made the whole process so easy. This past spring I needed to list my aunts condo, of course I called Melodee, she had it listed in one day. It sold In no time. Again, the process was seamless. They are very knowledgeable about the real estate market and we felt like they had our best interest in mind. We would definitely use them in the future.
Melodee & Randy were on top of the process of selling my home from day 1 through closing. They educated me on the process, and pointed out things I hadn't thought about. Melodee & Randy were quick to respond to my calls, creative problem solvers, and know the market well. Most importantly, I appreciated their integrity and felt like they listened. I couldn't have asked for a better team to sell my home.
Amazing experience working with Melodee and Randy! They were able to coordinate the sale of my home in Minnesota regardless of the fact I was stationed in Hawaii. Throughout the process I never second guessed their judgment or efforts, ultimately resulting in a quick turnaround for the amount I wanted. They are true professionals, but more importantly they have integrity and a strong moral compass to ensure their clients best interests are always in mind. I would not hesitate to ask for their help in the future or to recommend my closest friends in working with them.
When we made the decision to place our home on the market we wanted an agent that knew the area, was a top performer and got high review marks from former customers. Melodee and Randy fit the bill in every way! From the beginning they were on time for appointments every time, including last minute situations. They always had us covered! We relied on their expert advice as to pricing and how to prepare our home for sale in a very competitive market. Bottom line... our home was sold within 90 days! Melodee helped us find a new home by accompanying us on a Zillow "Coming Soon" listing we were interested in with just a few hour's notice. Then she expertly negotiated on our behalf to make sure we got it. Both Melodee and Randy were wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. We simply cannot say enough!
We were lucky enough to work with both Melodee and Randy on the purchase of our home. We interviewed two other top agents before partnering with Melodee and Randy, as we were very impressed by their commitment, friendliness, and knowledge from our first meeting and that feeling continued on through closing. We were happy with their responsiveness and deep experience that they willingly shared.
We relocated to Eden Prairie on a tight timeline and Melody along with her team exceeded our goals. Melodee arranged showings to work with our schedules, at times even with little notice. She provided us sound information and made great recommendations on various locations within the Eden Prairie and Chanhassen markets and she really listened to our concerns. Ultimately we feel we received top notch service, got a great deal on a beautiful property and had a great experience. If you are looking for a no pressure team that is truly interested in your needs then you need to look no further, you found them.
We hired Melodee and Randy to sell our home and help us purchase a new home. This was our 6th home purchase, so we have had experience with a number of agents in the past. The home we sold was in Chanhassen. When we met Melodee and Randy is was obvious that they knew Chanhassen and they impressed us well beyond other agents we talked to. We could that both of them had a passion for real estate. Melodee helped us with negotiations on our new home. She is a great negotiator and is very open and honest when she has opinions - exactly what a buyer should be looking for. Since our home was new construction, Melodee and/or Randy also attended walk throughs and an inspection. Their insights were very helpful throughout the process. On our sale Melodee again helped us with negotiations and it was obvious she sells a lot of homes. She knew our area very well and understood how to present and sell our home. Both Randy and Melodee are extremely responsive and also not afraid of clients that are direct. We appreciated that we could talk with them very openly throughout our transactions. Both were prompt for all appointments and very genuine people. That is rare in real estate. They both care about their clients and really work with people well. Highly recommended.
Our house meant more to us than anyone could possibly understand. On a personal level we raised our young children here (Darth Vader Halloween costumes, tooth fairy visits and Curious George books read in cozy beds) but on a financial level we put an inordinate amount of money into the home, assuming we would stay there forever. But alas! Life has a way of pulling the Pottery Barn rug out from under you! It was very much an emotional decision to sell AND to find the right realtor to represent us. We met with 4 different realtors (one of whom we worked with previously and really liked): But they ALL vastly underestimated the value of of our home. They ALL compared our designer-remodeled kitchen, custom master bath, mudroom addition and children's play loft addition, new roof, windows and siding- improvements totaling almost 100k!!!) "apples to apples" with other properties in our immediate neighborhood that had zero updates in 30 years. Neither as a seller OR BUYER would I expect to ask/pay the same! Randy priced it at what we wanted- he said we were in charge, not him. And that was what made us want him to represent us. And it paid off for everyone. Randy immediately noticed the value in our home on a both emotional and financial level. He actually once lived in this exact floorplan of our subdivision years ago and hence, appreciated our improvements. He valued our property at 50K MORE than other realtors did. That's a lot! That made us feel that the others were all out to make a quick buck: list it with a low valuation and sell quickly. Big mistake for them! Randy found us a buyer without even going on the MLS listing market (I didn't know that was possible) during what is traditionally a slow time: Christmas week. We got full asking price (like I previously said and would like to stress- 50K more than other realtors said it was worth) and what is key is that it also appraised for such a valuation. He professionally represented both us and the buyers and everything went more smoothly than we could have dreamed. He was extremely accessible to us via email and text- getting a response usually within minutes (even while at one point he was - unbeknownst to us- on vacation). And bonus, he is so darn nice and friendly that you want to invite him in for tea. :) He is also representing us as buyers for our new-build home. THis is not unusual of course, except in our case he is doing this while we are living abroad during the ENTIRE 6 month building process. Normally this might make for a nervous situation but knowing he is there for us, makes it AOK. He has volunteered to do our walk-throughs on a new-build while we are away (even we know that this is above and beyond what his role actually entails, but that shows how awesome he is). So whether you are a seller OR buyer, you could not ask for more in Randy Brooks. Top-notch in every way. You will not be disappointed!!! (And I am as picky as they come!)
We were very pleased with their expertise as we needed a fast sale and they delivered. Other agents we had interviewed were only focusing on a one mile radius of where we were selling but Melodee and Randy told us that we had competition in a ten mile radius. They also helped us pick out a selling price that was real and helped us to sell our townhome in a month. We moved out of state and Melodee and Randy kept in close contact with us and help us close remotely. We would highly recommend them to anyone selling their home. We have sold many homes and we consider them our top agents. They are friendly, realistic and totally professional. You won't be disappointed if you choose them.
I would recommend Melodee and her team over and over again. They are wonderful! They understand the market, and were willing to guide us to make sure our largest purchase was a smart one. She takes the time to listen and understand our needs.
We engaged Melodee to sell our home of almost 20 years and help us purchase a luxury town home. Her knowledge of the area, expertise in the business, and common sense made for the perfect package. At a time when home sales were still iffy, she helped us to price and stage our home for a fairly quick sale at an excellent price. Melodee doesn't go for the last dollar but rather helped us to understand what is a good balance between days on the market and market based selling price. My husband and I really appreciated that logical approach. Melodee works incredibly hard. She is very responsive and I could tell that she saw the sale of our house and the purchase of a new one as a personal mission to make sure we were satisfied. And we were! 100%. On the very rare occasion when she couldn't show our home she had Randy, her husband, come instead. On top of everything else, Melodee is one of the nicest people I have ever met. I know that she cares about her family, her community, and her faith and that means a lot to me. I don't think we will be selling another house for many years but I almost wish I could so I could work with her again. It was that much fun!
Randy and Melodee Brooks were vital in the sale of our home and in the purchase of our new townhouse! They were able to guide us through the entire process beginning with our difficult decision to finally sell our home after residing there for 24 wonderful years. One of the toughest decisions we faced was putting our home on the market before we had anyplace else to live. We wanted to find a home we would love, that met our declining physical abilities and to have it make financial sense. That's a tough order!! Randy and Melodee were very professional and extremely nice to work with, not to mention , easily accessible, day or night. They both took the time to show us numerous places and most importantly, had the wisdom and experience that eventually got us over the hurdle to finally put our home on the market. Once we reached that decision, we were extremely pleased with the entire sales process. We priced our home at what we considered, the high end of our neighborhood, but still got multiple walk throughs within the first week. Randy managed a bidding deadline and achieved a final price $5000 over our asking price! Melodee was instrumental in finding the town home we eventually purchased and love! It completely fit all of our needs and we really couldn't be happier!! Our experience with Randy and Melodee most definitely exceeded our high expectations! We would definitely recommend them for their exceptional expertise is selling your home!
I can confidently say there is no better team to enlist in the home purchasing/selling process. Their knowledge of the market, ability to negotiate and outstanding communication skills sets them apart from the others. They made us feel a though they were personally invested in us selling our house quickly and at the highest return, while also guiding us in our purchasing decision. Their attention to detail and timely response to our every need made the entire process enjoyable vs stressful. If you need a realtor, I encourage you to reach out to Randy and Melodee!
Melodee and Randy were fantastic to work with. Their response time to emails, & phone calls, knowledge of neighborhoods and ability to schedule showings quickly was impressive. They really helped me find the house that worked perfectly for me. I would not hesitate to recommend Randy and Melodee to anyone looking to buy a home.
Randy and Melodee were very professional and did a great job for us! They helped us with both the sale of our home and the purchase of our current home! The process was smooth and painless! I would highly reccomend them for all your real estate needs! Lon H.
Melodee and Randy are awesome to work with. They take a genuine interest in what type of home and area I was looking at. They made me feel so special I felt like I was their only client. They have great knowledge and expertise in realistate available in the state of Minnesota. They were very helpful with the final walk through before the signing of papers and pointed out an area of concern to the sellers that I would not have noticed. I plan on selling in 4 years and definately will be using Melodee and Randy.
Working with Melodee was different from working with other realtors. Yes, she is smart, well-spoken, positive, and insightful, but what set her apart from the rest was her genuine willingness to take ownership of our situation; she wasn't simply working to find us a house we liked, but was helping us to make the best decision for our family.
Melodee and Randy are terrific agents. They are experienced, assertive, knowledgable and most importantly good people. It is/was a pleasure to do business with them. I highly recommend them.
Melodee and Randy were excellent in both selling our existing home and with finding us our new home and with the negotiation of the offer. Melodee was primary for us. Melodee's knowledge about the market was fantastic. She explained our completion and how our home faired against it and price. We believe she got us top dollar for our home. In the search of our new home both Melodee and Randy were there to assist in us in the search and with showing the properties. We found our new home and without Melodee knowledge and skills we would have paid much more than we did. Melodee and Randy were there for us from the start to the closing and we felt very comfortable with their advice and direction in both the sale and the purchase. Will dfinitely used them again!!
Melodee and Randy Brooks are true real estate professionals. They have helped us buy and sell homes in Chanhassen. We have complete confidence in their market knowledge and were continually impressed with their high level of ethics and integrity. If you are seeking representation to buy or sell a home in the Chanhassen, Chaska, Victoria, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka area--the Melodee & Randy Brooks team is #1.
Melodee helped my husband and I buy our first townhome together in 2010. When we were ready to move in 2014, Melodee helped us find our dream home and sell our townhome. Melodee was always there to help with suggestions and advice about improvements to be made. Melodee not only wants you to find a home you love, she also wants to get you the best value possible.
