She did the impossible! She is communicative and easy to work with. She was constantly coming up with new creative ideas to sell my home. Couldn’t have asked for a better realtor!

Melina is the best. Our family is very fortunate to be blessed with such a beautiful, professional, attentive, and responsive individual. Her great character and her personality is unmeasurable. Melina super exceeded the level of service. In the process she became part of the family. Thank you so much from the Garcia family.

Absolutely loved working with Melina. She never tried to pressure us and worked to make sure we found the home that was perfect for us. She was very responsive and felt like someone we could rely one. She was very professional and made this process a breeze. I would absolutely recommend Melina to anyone looking for a home. We were sad once we closed on our home because our time with Melina was over.

Melina is always super responsive, even when out of the country. She handled the purchase of our current residence like a champ. And she made this sale of our condo as easy as possible, despite a number of issues on the buyer side. We'll always call Melina first when we want to buy/sell property!

Melina is very experienced and knowledgeable. She also is remarkably calm. Sometimes her calm can come across as not particularly concerned with your deal but recognize that she has done this enough to not be reactive to the many twists and turns that a purchase or sale can come with. Overall, i think the calm is reassuring. There were several times she advocated for me throughout the process and got me a better deal in the end. Very happy to have worked with her.

Melina is a great agent. She was always very respectful and helpful. She made me feel confident in selling my home and was always available.
Melina was very professional and quick and easy to communicate with. She was able to give me exactly the advice I needed to prepare my place for sale and what would make it appealing. I would definitely ask for her help on the future.

I cannot say enough good things about Melina. Her experience and knowledge made this extremely stressful process a breeze. She is personable, professional and always went out of her way to accommodate my schedule when it came to seeing homes. I never would have been able to get this house without her, in such a competitive market her offer made all the difference.

Melina has been wonderful to work with from the very first phone call. She knows the neighborhood, the market, and went above and beyond at every step of the way. This is my third home purchase in Houston and was, by far, the easiest - in large part due to Melina's expert help.
Melina is wonderful - extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhoods we were considering. She was really helpful in the period between contract and closing. We were buying from out of state so she kept everything going in Houston, answered numerous questions for us, and generally was our boots on the ground. My only complaint is that she works for Redfin. While their team model is great for things like wanting to see a house (lots of agents can give tours), it does mean that other folks are handling pieces and parts of your process. Sometimes they're great and sometimes not (and Melina would step in). It wouldn't stop me from recommending Melina, but it would be something I'd tell a friend using her to buy.
It was a pleasure going through the buying process with Melina. She was prompt, knowledgeable, and professional. She helped us put forward a successful offer in a short amount of time and the closing process also was seamless. I would definitely refer her to my friends looking for a house in Houston.

Melina is smart, responsive, attentive, and personable. We happened to be in town back in Nov visiting from out-of-state and passively looking at homes and neighborhoods. Who would have thought that’d be the time we’d find our perfect home and that she would be the one to help us through it and put in the contract for a brand new construction that started off as just a plot of dirt. Amidst a global pandemic, an unprecedented winter storm in Texas, supply shortages, builder delays—Melina has been with us every step of the way until we finally closed on our brand new home in July. Melina knows her stuff and is on top of the steps required to get things done and helps us get what we want. 10/10 would highly recommend Melina to help you find your new home.

Melina is a spectacular agent. She was distinctively meticulous, ensuring that every detail of the transaction was correct and that she always had an answer to every question. She had good advice for every step of the process, including when it meant walking away from a deal that turned bad, but then ultimately helping us find and close a better property. Besides all that, she was also a genuinely warm and friendly face throughout the process. We wholeheartedly recommend Melina and will ask her to help us sell when the time comes.
Melina is responsive and knowledgeable. She is detail-oriented and thorough with the process. We trusted her inherently with our sale.
Melina is an amazing realtor, very helpful, patient and super friendly!! thanks to her we were able to get a great home, at a great price. She helped and guided us during the entire process, as this was our first time buying a new home. She is very detail oriented and helped us a lot during the inspections and walks of the house. Melina is absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend her to all my friends and family.

Very professional and knowledgeable. She gave me many insights on what buyers look for when they want a property and what they like.
Melina is THE BEST!!! We are so thankful that she was our agent! She made our first home buying experience such a smooth process from beginning to end. We met her on 10/25, found our house on 10/31, and closed on 11/24. Melina is extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of purchasing a house especially with inspections and negotiations. She was a life saver in recommending that we get an invasive stucco inspection! Melina’s communication was efficient and prompt when replying back to all of our questions. She was honest, patient, available, and had our best interest throughout the entire process. She told us things we never would have thought of regarding the house and she diligently went to bat for us when negotiating. Melina made us feel comfortable, kept us informed, and provided...

Melina was very knowledgeable, thoughtful, thorough, patient and even keeled. She advised, listened and read people well. I am grateful to have her help.
We are new to the Houston area, and we did not know exactly what type of home or neighborhood to be looking at. Melina showed us many styles of homes prior to our decision on a single family house. Melina and her team, took their time at each appointment to thoroughly inspect the homes with us to find any defects. Melina is the most diligent of agents, seeing to every detail. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a new home.
Melina was great, she always had excellent advice and was straightforward with her insights. She was very easy to work with and contact with her was normally quick and prompt. She was willing to get her hands dirty by pushing the selling agents for answers. I would definitely work with her again!

She has a keen insight into negotiation of offers and contingencies, and guided us through the overwhelming process like a family friend. She was there for all our inspections and walk-through, even making sure we met our deadlines through weekends and her off days. Hoping to work with her and redfin again for our future transactions.
