Melissa Newman is the exception to every rule concerning Real Estate and professionalism. While searching for my new home, with poor results for 4+ months with other agents, I contacted Melissa. She returned my call in less than two minutes. In that initial call, Melissa's professionalism, attention to detail and level of expertise was obvious; I knew I had finally found my Agent. She wasn't just concerned with capturing a sale, she was interested in matching me with my dream home and helping me through the process. In that call she asked pertinent questions that mattered to me but which I had not considered and which did not appear to have been important to other Agents. Also in that call, she made a promise and against all odds and expectations, she delivered on it. Melissa emailed a list of homes to me in less than an hour, based on the descriptors we discussed, wherein I found the one house that has every single thing on my list plus a lot more. We made an offer on my home within 4 days of the initial call from Melissa. --4 months spent with other Agents Vs. 4 days with Melissa-- From the initial call to closing, Melissa never failed to respond in an extremely timely manner. She answered all of my questions or found someone that could and proved to me that she only surrounds herself/works with, the absolute best in the business(s). She is professional, knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, an awesome negotiator and you always know that, as her client, you are of the utmost importance to her. She takes on that responsibility with an attitude of graciousness and extreme attention to detail. Try Melissa first. Do not waste time or the opportunity to find the right home; until I found Melissa Newman, I was just wasting time, gas and money. Should I ever need an agent again, I will not even consider contacting anyone except Melissa. She is that far above and beyond the norm. read more

Melissa from Newman Group seriously delivered some individualized care and respect when she helped us sell our home. No matter how hairy the selling process got (A CLOSING DATE DURING THE HURRICANE!), Melissa stuck by us and communicated fluidly and without judgement throughout the process. It can be a vulnerable time to sell a home, whether you've done it before or not. In my case, I had never had to sell a house, and Melissa made me feel taken care from Day 1. There was never a question we couldn't ask or conversation that we had to have that felt intimidating or condescending. She was clear and communicated with transparency. It didn't feel like some schmoozing, playing games type of nonsense that I had heard horror stories about. Melissa was upfront, honest, and even offered to cut down on the percentage she received on the sale of our home because we were in a financial hole. I can't say enough about the gratitude that I feel towards her, and I would fully recommend Melissa to help you with the selling or buying of your home! read more

Wow. Melissa never stops working. My wife and I just recently closed on our second property in the Wilmington area with Melissa as our real estate professional for the purchase of both properties. She continued to provide assistance with important and very useful information on the second property without any request from either of us even after we closed on the property. The purchase of the second property came at the onset of the Coronavirus outbreak and stock market collapse. Melissa kept us calm and communicated to us if we had any doubts moving forward she supported our decision. Melissa and her husband/partner Robert were very easy to talk with and made the whole process a completely friendly relationship. Very cool couple. Oh yeah, she even reduced her real estate commission to make the transaction work. We will not hesitate to call Melissa for any future real estate needs and you shouldn't either. Highly recommended!!

In the space of a few short hours, Melissa became a trusted friend and advisor. My friend and I are in the market for a place to retire and Melissa gave of her time (on a beautiful Saturday afternoon), her wisdom and her insight on great places to buy. We found Melissa in one day and she responded back the next morning. By that afternoon, we were working with her! If you are considering a move to Wilmington/ Wrightsville Beach or the surrounding beaches, please go see Melissa. She is incredibly insightful to match what we think we want (always a challenge) to what is available. She is a top notch!!! read more

Melissa went above and beyond to exceed our expectations! We are from Virginia , and chose to work with Melissa and Robert based on their website and bio. This decision came with some risk, but we could not have picked a better team. True professionals that are always accessible long distance! read more

Melissa smartly marketed our house and got it under contract within a week or so of it going on the market. What made this remarkable was that this was in the middle of the market downturn due to COVID-19. Melissa also constantly kept us updated throughout the process. I highly recommend her! read more
