We met Linda when we had run across a VERY unique home that interested us and appealed to us. Linda…read morewas the listing realtor. In the end it lacked one critical component and we walked away from that but not before Linda showed us another nearby property. In that short meeting we found a very knowledgeable, candid and forthright person we clicked with. We found her to be very personable and down to earth and came to trust her implicitly. Over the course of a year Linda showed us a number of homes and came to understand what we were looking for and the requirements we had. When we found THE ONE she was there to support us we worked through a mortgage application nightmare and ultimately changing to a different strategy to close the deal on what we feel is an awesome investment in a unique home that fits all our requirements. She has a wealth of knowledge about the area and the market as well knowing who to call for all the things that come up during the course of making an offer and getting to the closing. We will never work with anyone else. We simply cannot say enough good about her and how much help she has been.

Organized, efficient, down to earth, didn't "talk over our head"... which is exactly what you want when you're a first time home buyer. It would have been a nightmare without Melissa there to guide us through the selling and buying process.

This is a local dad (Tim) and daughter (Beth) real estate team. They've been in Bloomy for forever…read moreand are among the most passionate people I've ever seen when it comes to houses and finding the perfect match between buyer, seller and house. They also deal with auction houses. I have only worked with Beth, but I'm sure her dad is great too since he's who trained her! Anyway, I've known Beth for a few years now. I have a very close friend who when she was searching for homes had a real estate agent who wasn't Beth. Her realtor was not super helpful. In fact, my friend ended up finding the house she bought herself! But the seller's agent was Beth. My friend liked Beth so much that she started recommending her to friends instead of her own agent! So one of our mutual friends worked with Beth to find her home, which she moved into just before having her first child. Such a stressful home search process. Beth made everything smooth and they found the perfect house in the perfect location for their budget. Then me and my husband decide we want to find a home! We connect with her, describe all kinds of ridiculous things that she probably had no way of being able to search for (the lighting in the home should be like THIS, etc). She never scoffed at us and spent a lot of time trying to understand our taste and find us the right home. But then I found out I was pregnant! I didn't want to deal with a new home and a new baby at the same time, so we said goodbye in a polite way to Beth. But Beth is such a professional! She kept the door open even though we had closed it. Congratulated us, wished us well, and told us she'd be happy to work with us whenever we were ready to start our search again. A couple years later that's exactly what we did! The housing market had become absolutely insane in Bloomington. If you didn't buy a house the moment you toured it, or sometimes even before then, the house would be snapped up. Many houses were gone the same day they were listed! We were feeling so frustrated with the process. But because she has her ear to the ground on houses, she was able to find a perfect home for us before it was even listed, and we made an offer that day. We were so lucky!!!! Since that time I've referred many friends to her, and everyone comes back absolutely raving about how kind she is, how great she is at understanding exactly what it is they're looking for in terms of style, amount of work needed to put into the home, location and price range. She makes it happen! I can't recommend her highly enough. She's also won realtor of the year at least once, probably lots of times if I had to guess. All I can say is, if you're looking for a Bloomington home you better connect with her fast before she's completely booked! She will make your home dreams come true.

Often called a discount realtor. Yes their fee is less but there is absolutely no reduction in their ability to perform at a level that exceeds other companies.
