What do Clients Say?

You just can't get a better real estate professional than Melanie. We ended up having quite a complex sale, involving multiple parties, international issues, legal, tax, you name it, and Melanie handled all parties with utter professionalism the entire way through. I'd say without a shadow of a doubt, without Melanie running this process, our sale wouldn't have gone through and I'd had to have put the property on the market again at huge cost. She wasn't the cheapest agent when I was searching, but I am so happy I chose her, she saved me $10s of thousands and months of time. If you are in any doubt at all, choose Melanie!!!!!

Melanie was wonderful and patient with me. This move was almost five years in the making and stuck with me through it all. I not only had a fantastic agent but made a great friend throughout the process.

Melanie Trott's years of experience allowed her to quickly grasp the difficulty of my circumstances in improving, physically moving and selling my home. MidcoastHome has a dedicated support team available to help senior citizen clients like me. Working with Melanie and her team of tradesmen made all the difference in the quality and timing of the work my home needed. Melanie's mantra is: 1. "How can I help?" and, 2. "What do you need?" I'm looking forward to buying a home with her guidance and experience.

Melanie helped us sell our house in a pretty strange market! From the beginning she was receptive to our needs and answered all our questions. She provided guidance when needed and stepped back when we needed to process a decision or think about a next step. She was friendly, professional, thorough. She helped us out immensely when we needed to remove some items from our home prior to sale, using her local contacts to prep the home for closing. We never felt pressured or ignored—her presence was just right. We’d absolutely work with Melanie again!

Melanie is the best ever! Her expertise is unsurpassed! She sold out house quickly and completely explained the process every step of the way. We could not be happier with her professionalism and constant attention to all of our concerns and apprehension. We highly recommend Melanie whether you are selling a home or buying a home
