Mel was my manager while working at Bayleys in 2024, and she was incredible. Her attention to detail and industry knowledge meant she always stayed one step ahead. I learned an incredible amount from Mel during this time. As fate would have it, Mel stepped back into the field for family reasons, so when it came time to sell our home, I was eager to work with Mel. And in true Mel fashion, she delivered to the highest possible standard. From the outset, Mel displayed excellence, providing us with quality information and making sure we knew the process and what to expect. Additionally, Mel was very thoughtful and caring, especially towards my wife, as this was the first home for our kids. We weren't selling our house - we were selling our home. One of the biggest benefits of Mel's experience is her knowledge and skillset. We had a few unexpected issues arise from our end that would not be considered common. Mel leapt into action, often working late into the night to help us get these resolved so it would not have a negative impact on the campaign (even though they were out of her control). Above and beyond does not even begin to describe the effort Mel put into helping us. Mel was also more than willing to work with all buyers-agents from all agencies. This opened us up to a much wider pool of potential purchasers. Come auction day, Mel's hard work was very evident. We had an incredible turnout of potential buyers, and Mel worked with all interested parties to achieve a fantastic result for everyone in the room - not just us as vendors, but the purchasers as well. It was the perfect result to a flawless campaign. We truly could not be happier with our experience from start to finish. Mel is the definition of excellence and we will only use Mel for all property-related matters going forward. Thank you Mel for everything you have done for our family. Adam & Gabs.
Professional, friendly, informative and helpful.
Melanie is fantastic and really knows what she’s doing. I couldn’t be happier with the work she did for me.
Melanie delivered clear, current market insights and demonstrated exceptional marketing expertise. Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire marketing and sales process.
Right from the start it was clear Melanie knows what she is doing when it comes to selling houses, demonstrated by her knowledge of the market, area, and process. Melanie kept me in the loop with communications almost every day, and nothing I asked was too much for her - in fact she went beyond what I asked, making the whole process stress-free and simple for me. I'm so happy with Melanie's work that when I next sell a house, there is only one agent I will be calling.
Melanie was great to deal with. She has an engaging and friendly style of communication. She was highly professional in all of her dealings and had an in-depth knowledge of the surrounding area. We were also given support to navigate the auction process, which we greatly appreciated. We would 100% recommend Melanie to any potential seller or purchaser.
You could not get a better agent than Melanie. She is so professional, friendly and her communication is excellent. We had to sell our family home, which was a very emotional time for us. Mel could not have been kinder and respectful throughout the process. She communicates all the information throughout the process, and keeps you informed about everything. She listened to everything that was important to us, and just made the whole experience so easy. It was such a hassle free experience with a fantastic result. This is the second time I have sold a property with Mel and I cannot speak highly enough about her.
She was great to deal with from start to finish and made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. Mel brought us an amazing off-market opportunity that we never would have found on our own, and she handled everything with professionalism, care, and a great attitude. She was always responsive, easy to talk to, and genuinely had our best interests at heart. Her market knowledge and negotiation skills were outstanding, and we felt completely confident with her guiding us through the purchase. We're beyond happy with the outcome and so grateful for all the work she put in to make this deal happen. We would absolutely recommend Mel to anyone - she's a pleasure to work with and truly goes above and beyond.

Mel was great to deal with, always punctual and informative. She made a stressful process a lot easier and nicer for us. We really appreciated working with Mel.
Melanie was great, very supportive and informative. Made everything very easy.
Enthusiastic, energetic, knowledgeable, friendly and very approachable.
From our first enquiry to the final purchase, Mel demonstrated exceptional professionalism, transparency and care, making the journey to our dream home completely effortless - 7 years on and it's still our best decision yet!
In late 2019 we had the pleasure of dealing with Melanie who guided us through the sale of our property. Her enthusiastic and professional attitude made the whole process seamless from listing to the final handover so this was very much appreciated.
Mel was amazing to work with. She was considerate of the situation I was in and always took the time to explain what was happening and answer any questions. Her local knowledge, friendly professional manner made the process of selling of my home so much easier. Mel, thank you for going above and beyond.
Melanie successfully sold our West Melton home. After deciding to list our property, we felt the pressure to move quickly and find an agent that we could click with. From our first meeting she gave us confidence, alleviating all our concerns with her professional and friendly approach. Melanie found a buyer in record time and negotiated terms that worked for us all.
We started our search in 2014 for a home in West Melton trying to find one within our budget that would cater for our wants and needs, each time we viewed an open home run by Melanie we found her to be very professional, polite, friendly, very knowledgeable about the area and approachable without being overbearing (as we know some agents can be) and unbeknown to us taking notes each time of our wants and needs… in 2017 we got a call from Melanie to say she had a listing that she thought was everything we were looking for and in our price range. It most certainly was exactly what we were looking for and is still our forever home We can’t thank you enough Melanie for the awesome home you found for us.
