Melissa Goldstein Tucci is an absolutely wonderful real estate agent!! She was determined to find us the home we wanted and she made it happen. Her willingness, determination, and knowledge about her work was exactly what we needed to find our home and by our deadline of June 1!!! Melissa went out of her way to help us and put in the time needed - thank you Melissa! I will recommend you to anyone who is looking for an agent.

A neighbor recommended Melissa to me and my wife. She was so much more than I ever expected. Her knowledge of the area is unmatched, she walked us through the process step-by-step, she answered our questions almost immediately, and helped us sell our house for far more than we even thought was possible. Thank you for your expertise and professionalism, Melissa!

Melissa was extremely competent and had great follow up.
She made this transaction quickly and efficiently. Melissa made me feel at ease as she kept me posted at every transaction.
What could have been very stressful for me was handled so fast that I had little time to feel stressed. I would recommend her without hesitation. Thank you Melissa.

Mellisa, was really an amazing person to work with. From the 1st time we met, I could tell that she was passionate about her work and took things very seriously. She helped us get into a house in record time, get all the details from inspections to closing down with no pain to us. Even after closing she helped to take care of items that we needed help with. I would recommend her to anyone looking at any real estate work in the San Diego Area

Before working with Melissa we already had a good idea of what we wanted for our first home in San Diego county. With that criteria Melissa would send me everything on MLS each day that she felt we liked. Since I work from home my schedule is very flexible so I had lots of free time to go look at homes. We must have looked at about 10 homes a week for a couple months before finding our dream home in Poway. Since we were up against 6+ other bids for the house, Melissa suggested the best way to make our offer be the most competitive and exactly what the seller wanted to see. She was right and our bid was quickly accepted and we are now in our new wonderful home. Melissa is always quick to respond via email or text message if you have a question. Her attention to details both during the initial house search and the home inspection process made our experience one we'd hope every home buyer would get from their agent. Highly recommend! :) Less

In our lives we come in contact with a handful of people that are life-changers?Melissa Tucci is one of those people! I am happy to share my experience with Melissa and unequivocally recommend her to anyone that has a need to buy or sell real estate. Melissa is thorough, knowledgeable, respectful, helpful and a genuine pleasure to work with. I found her quite by accident after working with my mortgage broker to get my loan arranged. My broker referred me to another agent who neglected to call me back in a timely manner. I found Melissa though an internet search and called her at 11am on a Sunday morning. I had a house in mind that was on the market. Not only did she answer her phone, my family and I were touring the house an hour and a half later?pretty incredible! We competed for that house but were outbid. The next few weeks included several other properties and 3 more offers. Each time, Melissa was so on top of the communication and the negotiation providing guidance and insight to the process every step of the way. Finally, in a competitive market, we signed a contract on the perfect house. From inspections to addendums to any questions or concerns that I might have had, she was there to give me guidance and truthfulness in a timely manner. She could not have worked any harder and more efficiently! When something came up, there was an e-document in my inbox as soon as we got off of the phone. She is well connected for inspections, insurance, mortgages and any other service that you might need and smiles through the entire process. Based on the challenges of my real estate transaction, I can honestly say that I would not be in my new home now with any other agent. Melissa is the reason that I was able to get this transaction closed! We spoke, texted or emailed every day for the last 2 months, and I can honestly say that I will miss the daily interaction. Melissa exceeded my highest expectations because she cares about her customers. After interacting with her throughout this transaction, she is not our agent, she is our family friend! She is truly gifted at her craft! Less

I was connected to Melissa via a search website (can't remember the name). She did a wonderful job of helping me sell my San Diego (Mission Valley) condo. She responded quickly, was reassuring and just seemed to make things happen! She was always available, regardless of the time of day or night!

Melissa was just amazing I am so happy, and so impressed with her!
I will recommend her to all of my friends needing her assistance.
She was so quick with everything before I had a chance to ask a question. Melissa had already completed the next step that was needed. The photographer she used was amazing. Everything she did from the moment my husband and I signed with her to the last form when we were closing. She made everything so easy and such a great experience. I am so great full, and thankful to have had her as our agent! She is not only so sweet, but very professional! You can always get a hold of her if you need her.

Melissa ROCKS! A truly exceptional person. Hard to add much to the 80+ outstanding reviews that Melissa has. She is extremely responsive, sharp and has a great read on people. Easy and delightful to work with. The key to a most successful home search for us with Melissa was her knowledge, integrity and most importantly, her ability to accurately assess and close a deal. Melissa always provided us timely and accurate information which we could trust and needed so that we could make intelligent decisions. However, the true value was her ability to secure the deal. We found our dream home several days after it was listed and the property had offers and counter offers. In short, Melissa went into high gear and made sure we had a signed P&S less than four hours after we saw the home. Just amazing to watch her sizing up the situation and providing us the guidance needed so she could execute. We can never thank her enough. A definite superstar who is equally enjoyable to work with.

I couldn't have asked for a better realtor in finding a house in the San Diego area. Melissa has an extensive knowledge of the area and constantly made herself available to view houses on the market. She always gave me constant updates on the buying process and anytime I had a question on the process or progress of the closing, she always had an answer for me. I plan on being in my new house for awhile, but when I decide to sell or buy in the future, I definitely will be contacting Melissa to be my realtor. Thanks so much, Melissa! Less

Generally, I do not submit reviews and would never give 5/5 stars to anything/anybody overall! In this case, however, I must! We engaged Melissa Tucci as our broker in the fall of 2012. From the beginning, Melissa was professional, polite and responsive to all of our calls and inquiries. She was a significant help in the staging of our house and her counsel as to what needed to be done was invaluable. Melissa followed up on all sides of this transaction, making sure that the sellers (we), the buyers and their agent, and the escrow and title company personnel all met their deadlines ? never expressing frustration or judgment about having to follow up on others? responsibilities. In a field in which competence is not guaranteed by the mere possession of a license, Melissa?s integrity and work ethic set her apart from most. We thank her and recommend her unequivocally. Less

Buying a home during a recession is not an easy task, at least it wasn't for me. I first contacted Melissa through a family friend back in 2008, right as the job and housing markets experienced an unprecedented period of volatility. Melissa first began to send me listings and for the next few years, I would sporadically find something I liked and engage in her services. Unfortunately for me, my employer experienced numerous layoffs and financial hardships causing me to become increasingly nervous about buying a home and saving my down payment. Melissa demonstrated amazing patience and persistence during those years, until, finally this year the stars all aligned and I found the perfect home. To say that the process afterwards was effortless would be an understatement. She kept track of where we were, sending me documents online which was way easier for my frantic schedule, and walked me through the entire process. I cannot stress how invaluable her professionalism and patience has been, and I know I will be using her again and again and recommending her to my friends (she's already become an agent of my parents). She is a shining star in my opinion. Less

After going through a realtor search agency, we were recommended to Melissa. She far exceeded our greatest expectations, by a long shot. From the minute we met Melissa, she made us feel like we were her top priority, even with having all of her other clients. She answered our tons of questions via email/text/call in what seemed like record timing, every time. She is so personable and easy to talk to. She knows San Diego realty VERY well and has many connections with other agents. There was never a question in our mind that our condo would be sold with Melissa, and it ended up only taking 36 hours from the time we placed it on the market. She used her professional photographer and marketing strategies, and our condo had 9 offers instantly. We were literally blown away. Not only did our condo sold, but we found a new home to fall in love with and were able to begin escrow quickly as well. We owe 100% thanks to Melissa for making everything happen so quickly and smoothly. We HIGHYL recommend her to ANYONE looking for a realtor. Wonderful!! Less

There are plenty of great things I can say about Melissa but I will just let everyone know my experience with the job she did for me selling my house. When I began my search for an agent u stumble across her on the Internet. I meet a few agents and none of them spoke with the knowledge or confidence in selling my home than Melissa. When she had her photographer come to take pictures to post I never would have thought that the next morning my house was listed already. It was listed early morning and by noon someone was already there to view the home. That person also made a good and just like that the house went into escrow after 3 days.

Melissa was a true professional and is very knowledgable, especially with short sales. We bought a short sale home and she was very patient with as through the long process. We weren't always the easiest to work with since this was our first home purchase. We were able to get the home for an amazing price because of her negotiation and networking. She was always very prompt with her emails and phone calls. My husband and I always joked that she never slept because she would respond to emails at all hours within a few minutes. Once we got to the closing process, everything went as smooth as possible. She was able to send electronic files as we were always very busy with work. Her reference for a loan officer was great! I would definitely recommend Melissa as I really think she's the hardest working woman in the industry! Less

I don't know quite where to start. I was a very inexperienced buyer, and I am incredibly disorganized when it comes to my paperwork. I had a problem getting my loan to go through because I didn't file my taxes for the previous year until we had actually already signed an offer. Melissa was able to buy me 6 extra weeks, my house was supposed to close Jan 1st, and she was able to push it back to Feb 15th working with the seller. We ended up closing a week prior to the 15th, but she was able to keep the sellers on board that entire time. She is very easy to work with, especially since pretty much all paper work done with her can be done electronically. She is very quick and responsive, the best communication channel is definitely email. She even gave us a nice house warming gift once we finally got our house keys. I highly recommend Melissa. Less

Bottom line up front: Melissa is an amazing agent! If you are looking for one, stop. This one has our strongest recommendation. From first contact she has been extremely professional, knowledgeable and responsive to our particular needs. We dropped our previous agent because of a lack of such consideration, but we lacked confidence that we would find anyone significantly better. We found Melissa by performing an internet search for best real estate agent in North County San Diego. We were skeptical because such superlatives are so overused and overblown these days, but in this case they are earned and well deserved.
Melissa and her staff showed a fine sensitivity to our needs. She determined viable options for us and patiently walked us through the processes associated with a series of four distinct offers. We experienced unforseen difficulties and delays - none of which were due to Melissa and her staff - but never did we feel as if she was becoming impatient with us. She is the full package: affable, knowledgeable, prudent, responsive and assiduous. She gave us sage advice when we asked, and always made thoughtful and prudent decisions. We recently closed on our new home and we are very pleased. The seller made that process incredibly difficult but Melissa doggedly pursued our interests and we were overjoyed with the deal we ultimately struck. She truly went above and beyond. Less

Buying a home is always a scary process. Buying your first home is terrifying! My husband and I were clueless about the buying process and even about what we wanted in our first home. We contacted Melissa based on her reviews and we are so glad we did. From the first phone call, Melissa was professional, polite, and informative. She know we wanted to get started right away and made herself accessible. She was very knowledgeable about the areas we were interested in and educated us on the process in general. For us, finding the house was the easy part. It was the rest of the process that was a little stressful. We ran into some issues and Melissa fought for us every step of the way. Even though I probably called her more times than necessary, she ALWAYS answered the phone and/or got back to me within the hour. She answered every little question we had and genuinely seemed like she wanted to help us.

Melissa endured a great deal working with us going thru a divorce, her patients was outstanding (award worthy). She remained positive and always very responsive for nearly a two year on/off the market until it sold endurance. She has the go getter spirit you need in a top notch real-estate agent.

Wow, where do we begin?! I am not even sure Melissa realizes the positive impact she had on us just to go for it and purchase our first home. With that said, she spent many weekends showing us property after property. I never knew I was kind of a real estate snob, LOL! She was professional, patient, always available, morning, noon and middle of the night! She finally suggested we look at new subdivision. We were reluctant as we thought we could not afford. Low and behold, we totally could, bought brand new and just closed Escrow on our first house! Yeah! Melissa is the very best, we absolutely love her ! Less

My husband and I were first time homebuyers and knew very little about the process prior to beginning. I read Melissa's reviews online and decided to give her a call, I researched questions to ask her but she answered all of them before I even needed to refer to my list. Based on the reviews and speaking on the phone I decided to go ahead and work with Melissa. This was the best decision we made. Melissa answered all of our questions with great knowledge and impressively quick response time. Even when our lender was not able to explain things to us Melissa was able to. Actually we ended up switching to a lender Melissa recommended after we had an awful experience with the one we chose. And her recommendation was worlds better than ours! We thought this process would take 6-9 months based on our friends first time home buying experiences but we just closed yesterday 2 1/2 months after we started looking. Also we thought we could only afford a condo or a townhome but we found our dream starter home! I know for a fact we wouldn't have this home if we weren't working with Melissa, she works so hard to get things done and makes it a less stressful process by talking you through each step. I highly recommend working with Melissa, in such a stressful/emotional process of homebuying she makes it worth it! Less

After interviewing six real estate agents to sell my grandmother's house in San Diego, I selected Melissa. Living on the East Coast, she handled everything from staging the house to taking care of the garden. The entire sales process was extremely smooth and we did everything over phone, e-mail and fax. The entire process from listing to closing took less than three months. Received a great price and am very happy to recommend her!

Melissa was outstanding. She helped us purchase a single family home in East Lake. The property was a foreclosure owned by a bank in Florida. Numerous complications, from liens against the previous owners, to VA inspections, to an unresponsive seller were involved and Melissa handled them all in stride. We've bought and sold several houses and worked with many realtors - Melissa is by far the best we've ever dealt with.

We had an excellent experienced dealing with Melissa when we were buying our house . She was not even our agent , she was the seller's agent ( we certainly wished that she was) but she ultimately step up to the plate took care of our concerns and all of our questions and made us feel comfortable and be positive with our whole ordeal buying a home . We are really impressed with her because anytime we call her or email her she would respond right away. Our realtor failed to attend to our needs and questions ...we almost not buy the house , but because of Melissa's help we did not give up and until up to now we still email her with more questions and she still willing to help us . She is truly the "BEST" and we will highly recommend her to friends and family . If we have to buy a house all over again or sell our house in the future we will make sure that we will choose her as our agent .

Coming from the East Coast, CA was initially overwhelming as far as house hunting in that it has so many options of places to live. Melissa is amazing. We picked her based on the reviews we read right here on Zillow and were impressed. All the reviews are true and correct. We searched for a good 4 months and finally found the home for us. She was very good about asking questions when we initially started, in order to get an accurate feel and understanding of what we wanted. We had looked at many homes in Chula Vista, Point Loma, Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Encinitas, Carlsbad and others till we finally found a home that fit us in La Jolla. Through out the entire process she was very patient, available to contact, quickly responsive, reliable and extremely knowledgable in all aspects of the process. It was great how she always had input to any questions we asked. I never felt worried anything would fall through the cracks. She's great at following up as well and not leaving any loose ends or unfinished tasks. It's nice to not only know she gets the job done, but that she does it right and you know you're in good hands. Thanks Melissa! Less

Stop reading the reviews and use Melissa as your agent NOW! My girlfriend and I recently purchased our first condo and could not have done it without her. The entire short sale process was pleasant, enjoyable and went off without a hitch. This was due in large part to Melissa. - Melissa was friendly and personable from the start. She personalized our experience, showing us the properties we wanted to see without wasting our time. At no point did we get the feeling that she was pushing any agendas on us. - Her communication was off the charts good. Text, email, phone, visits, showings, it didn't matter what we needed, she always produced. Melissa made us feel as if we were the only clients she had. We knew that wasn't the case, but we appreciated her efforts in going the extra mile anytime we needed something. - As first time buyers, many concepts and terms were foreign to us. Melissa explained documents and timelines with ease and clarity, always leaving us feeling like we were in the loop. - She gets what she wants! Or, what her clients want. She waded through double digit offers on our place and somehow got out offer to the top. I attribute it to her sheer tenacity and dogged efforts to please the people she does business with. I read every single one of Melissa's reviews before contacting her, so I know how important these short blurbs can be. I would put full faith in Melissa with anything related to real estate, and our experience with her as truly been refreshing. I would have no hesitation recommending her to my closest friends and hope she helps us on our next purchase. Ryan and Melissa Less

I am a first-time homebuyer and was impressed with how Melissa and her team guided me through the process. Three things about Melissa really stood out to me. She is very good at "closing the deal" with maximum benefit for her client, which is important in a competitive market like now. Offer acceptance, escrow and close on my house were smooth even though there were multiple bidders, seller was somewhat demanding and the buyer (me) was a rookie to all the paperwork and processes.
She is also extremely reachable at any and all times. She won't disappear on you right when you need or want to talk to her!
And finally, she has great connections with other real estate professionals necessary to the process. Mike Walsh, her preferred loan broker is great. He's straight-up, gives great advice and won't try to sell you down the river like a couple of the other loan officers I tried talking to. The home inspector she brought in was thorough and very helpful.
She is obviously quite good at what she does. I do recommend her! Less

When I made the decision to proceed with the short sale of my home, I was prepared to endure a horrific experience that we all hear about from friends, colleagues, etc. After 6 months with another broker it became apparent that the broker was distracted and didn't either want or need my business. Based on a referral from a friend of mine, I gave Melissa a call to get her professional opinion on how to move forward with the offer that had been submitted prior but had not received bank approval after 5 months. Within a day we had an agreement with my original broker and within 2 weeks Melissa had approval for the short sale from my first and second bank loans. After signing the documents from the bank, disclosures, etc. we had a done deal and she closed in under 2 months! The amount of stress she eliminated from my life can hardly be measured, I'm still somewhat in shock that the nightmare is over. On a professional level, Melissa has a tremendous work ethic, great communication skills, and always followed through to let me know the status whether it was good, bad, or indifferent news. Communication is key to all aspects of work and life, and I gladly and undoubtely give her 5 stars across the board, not to mention her positive demeanor, and professionalism at all times. Being a general contractor, I understand the risk and what it means put my name on a referral, I have no hesitation whatsoever in doing so with Melissa. Ken S. Less

I was very pleased to work with Melissa on both occasions; her responsiveness, local area knowledge, process expertise, and outstanding work ethic truly sets her head and shoulders above competing real estate professionals. I highly recommend other people in need of real estate services to contact Melissa.

Melissa was recommended to us by a friend who had purchased two houses with her assistance. Melissa was very professional throughout our search, showing us several properties that met our criteria. She was very responsive and knowledgable, and she always responded promptly to our questions via email or telephone. When we made an offer, Melissa provided excellent advice that allowed us to purchase the condo we were looking for. She was very helpful throughout escrow, and we closed within two weeks of making an offer. I highly recommend Melissa as a professional broker with a positive attitude. Less

Loved Melissa! I started out speaking to 3 agents when first getting into the buying process. Melissa was the only one who knew her stuff, was educated on VA loans/ properties around the area and actually listened to me when I told her what I wanted (other agents moved incredibly slow, tried to bargain with me on places I didn't want to settle, didn't know the areas, etc.).
Melissa is a breath of fresh air when buying a house...would recommend her to all my friends in buying.
PS-Melissa your eyelashes are fab ;) Less

My husband and I bought a house in El Cajon for $380,000 and Melissa was super helpful all throughout the process. I tend to worry a lot but with Melissa I felt very comfortable. She immediately answers your emails and phone calls, within seconds seriously! She really cares for you and looks out for your best interest, and sticks to your requirements. She listens to you and what your looking for. MELISSA IS THE BEST REAL ESTATE AGENT I HAVE WORKED WITH EVER! I recommend Melissa 100%.

Melissa is definitely the best. As first time home buyers, we had no idea what to expect and we had tight budget to work with. Melissa was understanding, patient, and professional, and kept us updated throughout the entire home buying process. Thanks to her, everything went smoothly and we now have a great little house on a quiet cul-de-sac - more than we ever expected. We would definitely work with Melissa again in the future, and highly recommend her to anyone that wants a great agent.

I have had nothing but a wonderful experience working with Melissa Tucci. I used her services to purchase a condominium in the San Diego area and she was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. This was my first purchase and she helped me every inch of the way deciding if it is a good investment or not, negotiating with the bank, and completing all the documentation. I know this seems pretty standard among agents, but she was patient, informative, and returned every email within seconds-no joke. To boot, the condo I bought probably was one of the cheapest buys in the city, but despite this very fact, her door was always wide open, and was there until the very last moment when the key was passed on.
I was a bit hesitate to share her with others as I want to buy more condos, but I want others to experience perfection as I did. Thanks Melissa I truly appreciate you! Less

Melissa Goldstein Tucci was an amazing resource for our family when selling our home. She actively assisted us every step of the way- from staging the home before listing, to aggressively marketing our home, and even organizing the showings so that they would have the least impact on our busy family schedule. During the sale, she was instrumental in helping us understand the process and educating us as to our options given the current market conditions. Melissa's experience, professionalism, and constant communication proved vital to our home selling success. We would strongly recommend Melissa as an agent for buying and/or selling property in San Diego. Less

Melissa was extremely helpful and thorough during our house search. It was our first time buying a house so she was very patient with us and really held our hands through the whole process. She was very knowledgable of the local area and neighborhoods. When it came to negotiations she really had our back and got us the lowest possible price. We have recommended her to all of our friends. Since we are a military family, we fully intend to use her again to sell when we relocate.

Melissa is truly an agent you want to go with when purchasing your first home or even your 10th home, keep in mind that she is also a broker which requires a higher knowledge base. She also pays attention to detail, from the antibacterial that I needed on my hands?to finding a home that met my every standard. I highly recommend her and I am confident that if you work with her, she will find you your dream home. Thanks Melissa for everything that you have done! -LR Less

Melissa has represented Buyers/Sellers in numerous escrows with my company for the past couple of years. She is a superior agent that never faulters in every respect, from the minor issues that are bound to occur in a sale transaction to the most complex construction issues that often would cause cancellation of the transaction. With her providing her stern leadership, in every respect and knowledge level that far exceeds the normal Real Estate Agent, you are assured that the transaction will close in almost all cases. She is generous in areas that require concessions, when needed and always has the buyers and sellers best interest at heart.
I would highly recommend Melissa in both positions, as a listing and selling agent and would select her to handle my personal transactions, every time.
