I can’t recommend Melissa enough! She is thorough, sensitive, and determined. A perfect combo to get the job done. She knows the market and prices homes right on target. She helped us sell our home - one weekend and done. Doesn’t get any better than that.
Erica and Seth
We were not sure if we could pull off our goal of searching for a home in Massachusetts while living in California with two kids, two full time jobs, and a tight timetable! But, Melissa calmly and efficiently guided us through the entire process and, before we knew it, we had a contract on the perfect home with time to spare. Melissa frequently went above and beyond -- whether rushing across town to view a home for us or rearranging her schedule to be available whenever we were in town. Most importantly, she was fun and easy to work with!

A dear friend of mine worked with Melissa on her home purchase and raved about the experience. This personal story stuck with me. When I wanted to list my city haven, Melissa was the Agent at the forefront of my mind. At the time I was in Los Angeles and there were complicating factors to getting my place on the market, such as the current tenants, and work to get the property in tip-top shape for potential buyers. Working with Melissa is about the experience; she is not just an Agent or Broker, she is a trusted partner in the process. I use the word partner, because I believe we both worked our magic to present a wonderful place people could see themselves living. This particular sale was different from most of the deals I do, because this was actually my home at one time and my heart was tied to it unlike others. Melissa’s knowledge, expertise, connections, and genuine love for her work gave me peace of mind and made it possible for new owners to enjoy the place I loved as my own city haven! My husband and I have had many conversations about reinvesting in the Boston market and Melissa will certainly be my first call!

Melissa came highly recommended to us from a friend, and she was such a pleasure to work with. She answered all of our questions rapidly and without judgment. As first time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions! When we were panicking on a Sunday night trying to rush in our bid, she was calmly on the other end of the phone taking care of everything. She was responsive and persistent, and had our complete confidence throughout the entire process. We are so grateful to Melissa for all of her help, and now live in our dream home!

Melissa did an amazing job helping us find our home this spring. It was not an easy closing for reasons outside our collective control and she stayed with us and fought for us! I can not think of a better partner in helping you find your new home!!! I would not use anyone else.

Melissa has been my real estate agent for over six years and for multiple transactions. She goes above and beyond at every step, and has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She is professional, confident, knowledgeable, friendly, and exceptionally responsive. I would absolutely recommend her.
Brian Rice
My wife and I were in a time crunch between places, and our work schedules were extremely busy. Melissa was amazing to work with - very patient, easy to get along with, and very knowledgeable of areas in and around Boston. Once we found our place, Melissa made the process smooth and seamless, and it was all taken care of quickly and efficiently. We have highly recommended her to many of our friends and family!

When my wife and I saw an opportunity to buy a home in a highly desirable neighborhood, Melissa worked tirelessly to make the purchase affordable for our family. She took the time to understand our needs and priorities before engaging other parties and counseling us in the purchase negotiation. She also provided invaluable guidance in helping us sell our previous home, all of this in the dead of winter and under an extremely tight timeline. Melissa’s attention to detail and genuine passion for helping families find the home of their dreams helped take a lot of the stress and anxiety out of the hectic purchasing and sale process. We are so thankful to Melissa and, in us, she has customers and advocates for life!

My wife and I recently worked with Melissa Deland on the purchase of our home in a suburb south of Boston. As first-time home buyers we were nervous, inexperienced and full of questions. Melissa immediately put us at ease. She offered us expert advice and was completely candid about various properties we viewed with her. She was consistently available and responsive and very flexible in working within our busy schedules. When leaving one property my wife and I were chatting about whether there might be any difficulties with snow plowing given the short dead-end street the house was located on. 15 minutes after idly wondering aloud about snow removal my wife's phone rang. It was Melissa and she already had an answer for us. Melissa actually took the time on her way out of the neighborhood to stop and speak with a gentleman out doing yard work and ask about snow removal on the street. We both feel like we learned a lot from Melissa and she was responsible for demystifying the entire process for us first-timers. My wife and I remain grateful to Melissa for guiding us and recommend her strongly without reservation.

Recently, I was fortunate enough to have the help of Melissa Deland and Foundation Realty Group when selling my condo and purchasing a new home. Melissa is extremely knowledgeable and more then willing to make this transition as easy as possible. Being my first experience selling a home, I had tons of questions. Melissa was there to answer each and every question, no matter the time of day, or magnitude of the problem. Selling a home is an extremely stressful process and Melissa made it all so manageable. Without her help, I do not know how I would have handled it. On top of it all: Melissa sold my home quickly for top market value. Her help allowed for me to sell a condo and move into the home of my dreams. I cannot thank or recommend her enough!
