Melissa and her team made our move to Arizona a reality for our family. She was so patient and informative with me as we narrowed our search. Her friendly demeanor made what seemed to be a daunting process possible. She is very responsive and knowledgeable on all aspects of a home. She walked us through the entire process and I could not be more pleased with our beautiful home! Thank you Melissa and team!

It was wonderful to work with Melissa and her team to sell several of my investment properties. Melissa took the time to understand my needs and the unique attributes of the properties and general areas. She was able to put together amazing listings and manage the process from end to end. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Valley and would love to use her again in future transactions.

It’s not often that I write reviews for those in the sales industry. This time I’m making an exception. Just a quick backstory my daughter was trying to purchase a home in the larger Arizona market of Phoenix, Glendale, Peoria & Goodyear area. After four months of shaking the trees and getting outbidded by multiple different buyers she all but gave up and decided to no longer use that agent. My daughter was ready to exit the market and deciding just to rent. I told her let’s try just one more time with a new agent. And from this point on I will no longer call them agents or sales people because they quickly became like family to my daughter and me. I believe if you look up customer service on the Internet they should post their photos. I have purchased over nine homes myself over the last 20 years so I am a seasoned veteran buyer. It really is hard to put into words or to articulate with grace how incredibly and professionally this team was in this transaction to assist my daughter in finding the perfect house for her. In this market agents have to move fast, they need to be creative and think outside the box, so they truly broke the mold on that idea. I won’t go too far down the road as to how they worked outside the box to find a solution for my daughter but they did amazing, stellar work. I can tell you without a doubt if you’re new to home-buying, or a seasoned buyer or your current agent is not hitting the mark, talk to this team. If you have any questions regarding our experience feel free to reach out. I’m happy to endorse them 110% Mark V Cerney

We have nothing but great things to say about our Realtor, Melissa Twitchell. We found Melissa through a referral and we were able to have a fast and mutual closing on our new home while selling our previous home. Melissa was incredible attentive to our needs, listened to our concerns, and promptly addressed any questions that we had or concerns that came up during the transactions for both homes. If you are looking for a Realtor that will provide top notch service and give sound fiscal and property advice for transactions, look no further!

Melissa & Michelle were great to work with. In this crazy housing market I was in no rush to find the 'right' house. They never pressured me to put an offer on a house and they were both patient in helping me to find the perfect house for me. I'm hoping to stay where I'm at for a long time but would definitely use them again when the time comes and would highly recommend them.

Melissa and the team were always available and responsive. We were doing our search from out of State and without her, not sure how we would have arrived to this point of purchasing our house in AZ She always followed up on her promises and delivered. She is knowledgeable and gets you the answers and data you need. We are so pleased that we found her.

I happened to cross paths with Melissa, when I was pretty determined not to commit to any real estate agent. So of the 20 that called, it worked out (because of how she played it) that I migrated towards her service, and I'm glad, I did. She did a terrific job along the whole journey and is a spit fire agent that gets things done. I Dont think there was anything that I wanted, that she didnt make happen for me, and was extremely helpful in so many other ways, with our family move!. She rose against her competitors and I feel strong in my recommendation for anyone that wants top notch, no nonsense, getter done type gal...be smart and call Melissa. Great job!! Thank you.

What a great experience we had with Melissa and Lisa. Lisa started the process and Melissa jumped in when Lisa was as unable. Melissa helped us write a desirable offer which resulted in the purchase of our AZ home. We are so excited to experience winters without snow. Thanks Melissa and Lisa.

I had a wonderful experience with Melissa Twitchell.. She was actually my neighbor and I was in the market to sell my home...What perfect situation She lived in the neighborhood and had her finger on the pulse of what was selling and for how much... We worked out a plan and she and her team made it happen they were there every step of the way answering all questions solving all problems.. Melissa went above and beyond to help me because during the sell of my home I was out of state...She got the price I asked for plus more...I appreciate all her hard work and consider her a friend...A great company! Ask for Melissa Twitchell and her team they won't steer you wrong you can count on them..

Before selecting Melissa Twitchell as my Real Estate Agent, I interviewed several others. Melissa was overwhelmingly the best choice. For other realtors, I hope you learn these things from Melissa. She helped me "stage" my home for the best results for showing (removing things that would distract the potential buyers); she hired a professional photographer that made my home look fantastic; and most of all, she believed in and loved my home as much as I did. Her positive attitude that it would sell immediately came true with 3 offers out of the first five - before it was even officially listed! Melissa guided and encouraged me throughout the process. She is the BEST!

At the time we were struggling because of our credit. We had a previous realtor who didn’t really help. We spoke to Melissa and she stepped up immediately and helped us. She even supported my wife who was having medical issues at the time. She was the best and we appreciate her very much.

I recently closed on my first home sale. Melissa made this process beyond simple. From helping me get the house ready to the close, she answered every question I threw at her! She then followed that up with helping me close on my next home. Needless to say, if you want an agent who will work their tail off for you, turn to Melissa.

Even this crazy market didn't stop Melissa from finding us a home. This is my 2nd home purchase using her team and both times I had a pleasant experience.

Melissa helped my wife and I purchase a rental home at the end of May and we closed at the end of June. She was excellent putting our offer together without her experience we would have lost the home to another investor most likely. She worked hard and negotiated a good reduction in the purchase price after we received the home inspection. The home inspection identified some repairs and even in this hot market she was able to get find a way to get them to cover most of of the repairs. She always worked with focus. You can feel confident she’s working for you and your best interest in mind. If you are purchasing a home or a rental property as an investment I would personally recommend Melissa and her team. If you are in the hunt for your dream home or investment property and you truly need to know you did everything you could to get it and want no regrets get Melissa on you team before you head out.

Melissa is a Pit Bull. She was always on the ball. When I was having issues with my health she step in and took care of things for me. I have NEVER gotten this type of respect from any team. We did have an other team before we went with Melissa and I’m so glad we got her and her team. I gave her 5 if I could she is a 10 star all around.
