Melissa helped us with our transition from DC to Wellesley. She mapped out the entire town of Wellesley and showed us every house that was on the market in our price range. She helped us secure a rental property while we were still looking to buy a house. She was very patient with us and was always available to us.

We worked with Melissa with the purchase of a new home as well as selling our old home. Both experiences were exceptional and I have high praise for Melissa. Throughout the entire process (buying and selling) we felt in good hands and trusted Melissa's guidance. She was particularly good at closing deals out- I feel that at the end of the day we purchased and sold both our homes for fair prices. I would highly reccomend Melissa to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

I think you would be hard-pressed to find a better to work with realtor than Melissa. We were relocating from Charlestown to Wellesley, and I truly knew nothing about the neighborhoods or the area. Not only was she extremely supportive during our search and the negotiation process, but she continued to be an invaluable resource even after we closed on our home. Melissa not only put us in touch professionals to help us with our renovations, she also gave us recommendations on places to eat, shop, walk - all those things to help us feel comfortable in our new neighborhood. Additionally, she made sure that we felt like Wellesley really was "our town" by introducing us to others new to the area. In short, we loved working with Melissa and recommend her highly to everyone and anyone who is looking for a realtor in Metro West. Less

She has great knowledge of all that Wellesley has to offer from the numerous retail shops and restaurants to it's topnotch school system. Melissa is very professional but also genuine in the way she deals with her clients. She is committed to keeping up to date on the latest market trends as well as maintaining a large network of friends and colleagues that keep her at the forefront of all that makes Wellesley such a great place to live.

My husband and I were very familiar with the area and knew what we were looking for, but we needed a realtor to help get us in to see potential properties as soon as they came on the market and then to facilitate the entire process. Melissa was very accessible and went out of her way to make sure she got us into homes extremely quickly for showings. When we wanted to put an offer in on a home, we knew the owner would receive multiple offers. Melissa gave us great advice to write a personal letter to the owner about why we loved the home, and our offer was accepted over similar offers. She was in tune with what the seller was looking for, and she made us as buyers extremely happy. Thanks, Melissa! Less

We met Melissa just when we first considering moving from the South End to a new home. She was quick to understand and present us with homes that met our needs and tastes. Her specific knowledge of the towns and neighborhoods was also very helpful. We purchased our home just as many of the new mortgage regs went into effect - her support and responsiveness during the process was invaluable! We would not hestitate to recommend her for anyone buying or selling a home!

My husband and I were relocating to Massachusetts from overseas. Our time devoted to house hunting was very limited as we wanted to have a home to move into upon our arrival. Melissa was very attentive and observant with respect to our likes and dislikes. She assessed our needs before we even verbalized them. Melissa never pressed her opinions on us or led us to make one decision over another instead she brought us to an appropriate number of homes to view and answered all of our questions allowing us to make our decision. We haven't regretted it! In short, Melissa made the house hunting experience a pleasant one despite our difficult situation. Less

For several years when we lived in the Forest Street neighborhood, Melissa Dailey was our good neighbor. When she represented us in the sale of our home she (including her husband Gil) went out of their way to help us stage the home and make the process as painless as possible. As someone who manages mergers and acquisitions for a living, I have no tolerance for inefficiency and poor organization. Melissa was spectacular at understanding our needs and getting things done. Our home was quickly sold for very close to our asking price and within a month Melissa found us our next home in Wellesley and helped us negotiate a good deal. We sold and bought homes in Wellesley on a very tight schedule and Melissa was great to work with at every step in the process. Less

We loved working with Melissa. She was patient and thoughtful in the process. She has done a lot of renovations, so she sees potential in places that we never did and that was incredibly useful. She is also very involved in the community and can give you a lot of tips of what to do with your kids, where to eat, shop, etc...and how to get involved in the community. We would higly recommend her (and have) to any and everyone.

Been on both sides of the table with Melissa. She's honest, straight to the point and an extremely hard worker. No matter how busy, she's always available - 24/7. Bottom line, she gets it done. Her track record speaks for itself; sold our house in one day (at high listing price). Make sure you take her advice on prepping your property; she knows what she's doing.

We sold our home during a recession. Melissa encouraged us to set the price at a point where we would sell it quickly, and it did. The buyer had cultural superstitions about the number, i.e., there could be no number four in the amount. Melissa negotiated with his realtor to settle this without us sacrificing on price. I recommended Melissa to friends soon after our sale and she sold their house pretty quickly. Melissa is professional, returns calls quickly, and doesn't engage in unnecessary chatter (which I appreciated during that stressful time.) Less

Melissa helped us find the perfect home for my family. With five kids and 7 years between the youngest and oldest she knew exactly what we were looking for and how to find the perfect space for us. She was the ultimate in professionalism and no one knows this market and the pricing and negotiating history better. My husband and I both work full-time and she was very diligent and proficient with our time and scheduling appointments to see appropriate homes that met our personality and needs. She closed our house in record time and was at our house at 10:30PM to make sure we had everything signed and ready for the offer. She was tireless. Since we bought our house she has been a great resource for renovation ideas and contractors - anything we need. No body knows this market and homes in our area better and no one will get you a better home. Less

I can't say enough about Melissa. She worked tirelessly to find the right home for our family of 6 and succeeded with every detail- not an easy feat in Wellesley MA. Melissa was a wealth of information on every level- her knowledge of pertinent information regarding schools, social activities, general geographic advantages/ and disadvantages etc.. was invaluable. As a Mother herself, Melissa knew the concerns of a Mother of 4 and was always ready to offer help and resources. Melissa was in constant contact with us about the market- giving us every advantage and opportunity to find the right home for our family. She was available at a moments notice to meet, talk, brainstorm, or just listen. Above all else, Melissa's honesty and integrity are unmatched. In an industry where top dollar is supreme, Melissa is true blue- her hard work, kindness and loyalty to our family made our relocation to Wellesley a home coming instead of a difficult transition. I would recommend Melissa to anyone looking to buy or sell a home - she is truly dedicated and we are so grateful... Sincerely, Leslie Noto Less
