“Melissa is a fantastic agent! Within 24 hours of hiring her, she had comparable properties ready to show us! We agreed on a starting amount to sell our home at and the process began! From her stunning ability at staging of our home, to the beautiful photos and brochure she had created to getting issues solved and questions answered, Melissa was always ready and willing to work with us and went above and beyond! Her very kind and genuine yet professional attitude was so fantastic. She truly is a one of a kind real estate agent! I would not hesitate to recommend Melissa every time!”
“Melissa was amazing to work with. I was purchasing my first home on my own and feeling a bit overwhelmed with what lay ahead of me. Melissa walked me through each step and didn't over complicate anything. She negotiated on my behalf and I truly felt she had my best interests in mind. She's very responsive and professional and I was never left waiting for responses to any questions I asked, even after the sale went through she was still readily available to answer any of my questions. She provided me with solid referrals for any of the other services I required which helped bring comfort to me as well. I really enjoyed working with Melissa and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone.”
“We had a great experience with CIR Realty when we were in Central Alberta, so decided to contact a local realtor with CIR when we moved to Cochrane. No regrets. Melissa is hands down one of the best realtors we have ever worked with. She is an active listener, focused on understanding her clients' needs and intent on finding the right home for them. She may be very busy, but we never felt as though we were not her top priority in all our interactions with her. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone wanting to work with someone in Cochrane. If we ever decide to sell in future, we will take our business back to her without hesitation.”
