Why sellers list with Melissa

Priced by an appraiser

Most agents guess at list price from a quick comp search. Melissa is a state-certified appraiser and prices your home from the closed comparables an appraiser would use, so the price holds up when the buyer's appraisal comes in.

A prep plan that pays for itself

You'll know which updates buyers in your neighborhood actually pay more for, and which ones to skip. No money spent where it won't come back at closing.

Marketing that reaches buyers

Professional photography, MLS exposure across Rhode Island, and paid digital advertising aimed at active local buyers, not just a sign in the yard.

Negotiated to the closing table

Offers, inspection requests and appraisal gaps are where sellers lose money. Melissa handles each one personally and keeps you informed at every step.

Questions sellers ask

+What does it cost to talk?

Nothing. The consultation and pricing review are free, and there is no obligation to list.

+Why does an appraiser's price matter?

Most buyers finance, and the lender's appraisal has to support the price. A list price built the way an appraiser builds one avoids the price cuts and renegotiations that come from overpricing.

+I'm not ready to sell yet. Should I still reach out?

Yes. Six to twelve months out is the best time to plan. You'll know your number and which repairs are worth doing before you spend anything.

+Do you work outside Rhode Island?

Melissa is licensed in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut.

+How fast will I hear back?

Usually the same day, and always within one business day. Or call the office at 401-288-3600.
