We met Melanie at an open house for another home, and chose her as our agent because she was refreshingly straightforward and very knowledgable about real estate in Lamorinda. Melanie worked magic under very tight deadlines. We hadn’t even contacted Melanie before we found the house we were interested in, but Melanie made herself available to meet the next day (even though she was hosting another open house) and we put an offer in a few days later. She was helpful and accessible throughout the quick close (~3 weeks). Definitely recommend!
