Melinda helped us buy our home in this very competitive market. We worked with her on and off for 8 months before we found our home. She had useful tips and advice and made us feel comfortable through every step of the process. She never pressured us and was always responsive. Would highly recommend using Redfin and Melinda as a FTHB!

Melinda will go above and beyond to consider your needs, wants, situation, and respectfully ensure you feel as you’re her top priority and only customer. She is knowledgeable from many years of experience in the industry, knows all forms and documents better than other agents upon reviews and negotiations, and will tirelessly make your investment her top priority. We have sold two homes and purchased one home with Melinda. Were we to move back to Washington state she’d be the first person we’d call to advise on any property we had an interest with. You and your family are safe in her hands.
Melinda was knowledgeable and helpful. She was always available and stayed in touch with us with through the purchase of our new home and the sale of our previous home during a difficult market time. She was a joy to work with.
Went to a ton of places. Understood a complicated situation. Helped me buy a house. Great job!
Melinda is a expert and a professional at her job. Her knowledge on WA law and her experience was the main factor why we stayed here and continued to work with her. She didnt sugar coat anything about a property, she helped me find the best place and went above and beyond to get answers and open lock doors. Very pleasant to work with. Thank you so much you are fantastic! I couldn't have asked for a better agent, truly top tier.

We loved working with Melinda! We had been looking for the right house for four years and Melinda was always quick to answer questions and provide support. When we finally bought our home, Melinda took great care of us, including helping us get the info we needed after the sale to get fully set up in our new neighborhood. While we are very happy with our house, when the time comes to sell and buy again, we will be very happy to work with Melinda again.

Melinda is an outstanding agent! From the second we transferred to her she provided outstanding service. We had a consultation the first week so that she could understand what we needed and wanted for our family. In that initial discussion she asked what we wanted from her as our agent and man- she did not disappoint us. She was with us thru the entire process including negotiating a contingent offer in a crazy market and dealing with many different personalities. We will definitely keep Melinda on speed dial and will use her if we have any upcoming transactions ;)
Super on top of it, available when needed. Walked me through my first home experience. Nothing but kudos to Melinda

My children talked me into using Redfin as I had a real estate agent I loved working with in the past. Melinda came in like a dynamo and blew away any reservations. The house I bought was in a very hot market. The day it was listed Melinda was working late into the evening to submit a bid. Her strategy got us the house. I couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a new home.
Melinda was fantastic throughout the entire process of buying a home. She not only knows every aspect of the industry and its processes inside and out, but was always willing to patiently and clearly answer our questions and offer advice anytime. Couldn’t ask for a better experience!

Melinda is a very nice person but never seemed to be on our side to help us with purchasing a new home. She was always VERY discouraging before we would even attempt to make an offer. She never went to bat for us with sellers in our behalf. It was like she didnt really want to work for the sale to help us. Never positive which is emotionally draining for buyers. And because we didn't have a full 20% down payment (which another Redfin agent promised we wouldn't need when he sold our house), it was like we weren't worth her time.

Agent Response:
Every buyer is worth my time and I take pride in my job and performance. I genuinely want all of my buyers to buy the home of their dreams. I am a strategic agent and take pride in helping my buyers win offers. My strategy in working with buyers is to have conversations upfront about their finances and speak to the lender to come up with a strategy that can work in our current market. If there was a miscommunication that the buyer felt they were not worth my time, I apologize.Customer chose not to leave public comments.

She had excellent feedback for getting the house show ready and even had referrals for the work we needed to hire out, which made that process so much easier. Melinda’s experience and expertise was fundamental to the process. She taught us what to look for in an offer beyond price, which in this market was really important.

Melinda has been great to work with in finding and closing on our new home. Her communication was timely and she answered any questions or concerns that we had. She made the home buying process a breeze. We will be trusting her with the sale of our old home here soon and are confident we will get the best deal.

Melinda was great! She was very responsive and helpful when it came to navigating the process for a new home. She, along with the other Redfin home viewers we met, were very clear that she was here to show us around and answer our questions. We never felt pressured or overwhelmed, in fact, Melinda kept reiterating to us that "this is your home, and I'm just here to help you" and that really made the process easier. :)

She has a great support team, but she would always answer calls and text messages promptly whenever we had a request or a question throughout the process. We really feel lucky to have had her on our side as an advocate and agent working on our behalf. In my opinion, she deserves an award for outstanding customer service, and we would gladly work with her again if given the opportunity to do it all over again!

Melinda is a top-notch agent. She did two specific things to make our sale happen: 1) She pulled together the photos and listing quickly (within just a few days) to give a jump on the competition; 2) When our buyer’s financing fell through, she coached us how to move through it and turn it around. Sure enough, we had another buyer the very next day. (We later found out that it’s because Melinda got on the phone and touched base with some agents to let them know our condo was about to hit the market again.) Melinda is the best!

Melinda is an amazing agent! I started out on a house tour with her with just browsing in mind. Little did I know about 9 months later, we bought two houses with her in the same neighborhood. If we had any concerns she would addresses them promptly. If you want an agent that takes care of you well in buying a home, then she is the perfect choice.

Melinda made our first-time home buy much easier than we thought. She first gave us an overview of the whole process of home buying. When it comes to each step, she gave specific instructions/suggestions. She responded quickly whenever I have questions. She informed us that the loan interest decreased and recommended other lenders to ensure that we can get the best possible loan, thought it means more work for her to change the lender.
We highly recommend her service.

We moved from Alaska to Washington, and Melinda proved to be absolutely essential to a smooth transition every step of the way. During a tough couple days of negotiations, it was clear that she was looking out for our interests above all else - it was a great feeling to have her in our corner. She enthusiastically agreed to conduct a video walk-through with us just prior to closing, and also gave us some recommendations for some local businesses; valuable information for someone from out of town. Let me put it this way: Melinda would be a welcome guest at our backyard BBQ anytime!
From the moment we met Melinda (which was by chance at a showing of a home we didn’t end up buying), we knew she would be a good match for us. At no point did we feel like she was being disingenuous or only thinking of herself—she was our advocate from day one. Her confidence in what she does and the knowledge she has made a potentially painful experience (simultaneously selling & buying a home) relatively simple. Even when there was a snag, Melinda’s calmness kept us calm and saved our sanity. We’re in our “forever home” now, but if there was a possibility of us buying another home we would definitely reach out to Melinda!
I appreciate that Melinda knows her stuff with house inner-workings, such as vent hoods, etc.

First time buyer here and Melinda was awesome. Couldn’t ask for a better realtor. She even went beyond and recommended a great loan officer that I got a great interest rate with! What’s best is Melinda’s confidence really made this buying experience bearable. Dealing with a seller rent back was very stressful but knowing that Melinda’s is in constant communication with the seller really eased the anxiety. Lol.
All in all, I was anxious about giving Redfin a try but it all worked out. I found a great realtor and would not be afraid to do it again. Thanks Melinda for making this purchase memorable.

Excellent dependable assistance throughout the buying process...thank you Melinda!
After buying six homes (and selling five of them), we have had our share of experience with realtors, giving us plenty of perspective onto what we has found to work for us. Melinda was without a doubt, the best realtor with which we worked...responsive, knowledgeable, and genuine! We cannot recommend her enough!!!
Melinda gave me a tour and made several calls to seller agents on my behalf, trying to put together a deal. I was outbid but it wasn't her fault.

This review is entirely my opinion. As an investor I've worked with many realtors including some rockstars, but never one so slow and with so little knowledge and such questionable ethics. Beside an ever-changing story on what is allowed and when, that was quickly pointed out by me as inaccurate, I had to coach her on how to get the process moving in a timely manner, otherwise the turnaround times for inspection responses would have been days. I had to tell her to just call the listing agent to run the inspection credit by her, as it is a simple 5-minute conversation and I can't wait a full day after the inspection just for her to get around to putting together a 3-line formal inspection response form when I'm on a timeline for a 1031 exchange. We can do that later after we find out... Show More
Agent Response:
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience working with me and Redfin. I am sorry that we did not provide the service you deserved, and that we strive to provide to every Redfin customer. I apologize for the confusion around scheduling the inspection and the seller's offer review period.
You are right that there were errors on the contract, which were submitted to me by the listing agent, and I apologize for the amount of back and forth you had to deal with in order to get them corrected. When my manager Kathy responded to your concerns about your transaction, this was an opportunity to learn how we could better help you through the buying process, and we failed to do that. As an agent for the past two years, I work hard to put the customer first, offer exceptional service, and I understand that wasn't your experience. Please know that I will use this feedback to better serve my clients going forward.
