I highly recommend Melina, who helped me buy my first home. As a single, 30-something woman,…read moreMelina was exactly the agent that I needed to help me feel confident about my home search and purchase. My search took months because of my own narrow criteria and budget. During that time, Melina met me at every house I wanted to see and gave me her candid assessment of each property. She steered me away from many houses that would've been a bad fit for me, and she never pressured me to settle for the wrong house. And once we found the right one, she shepherded me through the transaction with her trademark steadiness and practicality. The purchasing process had plenty of stressful moments, but it was reassuring to have Melina and her years of experience on my side. And her support didn't end on closing day either--when I had to go out of town right after closing, she fed my newly-acquired koi and got rid of a few unwanted items the seller left behind. I'm grateful that I got to work with Melina to purchase a house that I love.

HORRIBLE TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE My amazing father has dementia…read moreand my family is dealing with the many challenges that come with this disease including the loss of his drivers license and the decision that he can no longer care for himself. It was time to sell his home and he would move to a place where meals are provided and other care that he needs is available. Mind you my parents have only purchased 2 homes in their lifetime and still reside in my childhood home. They are not savvy or knowledgeable about anything related to selling a house. I was ultimately referred to the realtor's broker Melina who contacted me about my requests for fliers and/or a QR code and using social media to promote the house and specifically that in the walkable neighborhood of Englewood where my dad's house is located is a great way to inform people about my dad's remodeled and quaint home. I was told that fliers, social media and other suggestions for advertising were NOT within the advertising agreement that my dad signed with my mom present. They are responsible for signing the agreement but they also didn't know that for the agent/broker commission that all they would essentially receive is staging for a tiny 2 bed 1 bath home, pictures of the property and an open house (neighbors by invitation) the open house was self serving as a way to meet new potential clients and let looky Lou's snoop around the house. I was appalled and shocked no hustle, no strategy whatsoever to make this house move quickly. I believe the house had been on the market for not even 2 weeks and when Melina the owner of this company spoke with me she was a NIGHTMARE think Devil Wears Prada Linda Wintour kind of pompous, rude and condescending. I was hurt, felt disrespected and very upset by her actions and how she treated me. It led to a total breakdown in trust and confidence in her and her agent. I'm not sure if she had even the slightest twinge of care about my family and caregivers fatigue from caring for a family member. Selling his house included the dismantling of my dads home, belongings and it's a painful experience for him and our family. Hiring a realtor and a broker is supposed to take the responsibility and stress away from the family turning it over to "professionals" who happily collect commission and that is when we decided this was not a safe or honorable place to place our trust. The worst part is that I informed Melina owner/broker that my dad didn't have a copy of his signed contract nor did my mother. The broker said that it must be in a box from his move....ummm....No. Electronic email is standard for sending a contract. I did speak to Melina/owner-broker again and I was hoping for a chance to move forward and unfortunately I was again met with a communication style that was abrupt, harsh and her goal is about winning and being right instead of seeking to understand and find common ground. On the complete opposite spectrum our agent remained positive, kind, caring and compassionate. I highly recommend her and hope she's able to find a brokerage firm that matches her energy and professionalism. We appreciate her dedication to our family.

She…read moresuccessfully guided me through the purchase of my house, in a time where the market and prices are quite frankly, crazy. Liz kept me focused on the reality of what I needed in a house. Pro Tip: when you start house shopping, it's easy to fall in love with a house, and ignore the parts that maybe aren't such a good fit for you. She was quick to point out the potential challenges AND the positive aspects of a property. I felt like Liz worked for me 24/7, with very few breaks and she really knows the market. No question was too stupid and she always made me feel like my house search was VIP: a Very Important Priority. Liz: Professional. Responsive. Responsible. Ethical. And Fun! Liz is the realtor you didn't know you needed. :)

We knew where we wanted to live, but didn't know a soul in the area. We reached out to Liz because our family backgrounds were similar, and what a good choice that was! She was able to guide us every step of the way from telling us when a house really wasn't a dream to telling us to jump NOW when the dream was upon us. And, she did it all long distance, in the middle of a pandemic, and when the market was going crazy. Not only did she help us find our perfect home, but she and Bill went way above and beyond for us in so many ways. The one year anniversary of our home purchase is just around the corner, and we have been so happy here. We couldn't have done this without the cheerful guidance of Liz, who will ALWAYS be our realtor.

My husband and I decided to use Silverton Realty to rent our home when we moved out of state. We…read morethought that being a local business in an uppity small town, that we would get great upstanding service, yet what we got was less than poor service. When we filled out papers and left the keys with Micha, we left the home cleaned by a housekeeper, yard had just had $2K in upgrading of landscaping within 60 days, freshly painted within the year, well maintained, furnace filters replaced, light bulbs all in working order, mounted coat hooks in bedrooms, gutters cleaned, roof moss free, house pressure washed, etc. Silverton Realty was to keep up basic maintenance of the home, gutters, furnace filters, light bulbs, ensuring that tenants mowed and maintained landscaping, etc. They said they would provide general maintenance crew for any small problems. Yet we were charged for an electrician because a renter flipped a switch that turned the furnace off. So the realty company called a heating and air company for a service call that cost 'US' $250 just to determine there was no power going to the brand new furnace we had just installed a year prior. So then Silverton Realty calls an electrician for a service call and they charge us another $250 to tell them the tenant had flipped the switch on the wall... marked furnace! We were assured that they had a maintenance staff that could fix simple problems. When the year was up, the tenants moved into a home they just purchased and we fired Silverton Realty. When we took possession of the home, it was filthy and the yard was in disrepair and the doors were left unlocked. I called Micha at Silverton Realty and I threw a fit. She assured me the home would be clean the following week... so I flew from out of state to close the deal with Silverton Realty.... to find out they hadn't touched the home... Still filthy, oven dirty, floors dirty, stole the coat racks out of the bedrooms that were attached to the walls, leaving large holes, crayon scribbles on the wall, large scuffs on the walls, 40% of the light bubs burned out, old food in garbage disposal, back door left unlocked, trash in the fenced in court yard, trash in the front yard and in the fenced large yard, 2 trucks full of old leaves, weeds as tall as my waist, dart board holes all over the outside wall by the front door (on our brand new exterior paint). Knocked down back decorative fence and used wooden stakes to hold it up, stole gas cans,rakes and shovels left in the shed by us to maintain the yard. Unmaintained bushes and landscaping. So I called Micha again and I called her boss... they assured me that they had now gotten the house cleaned up, so they sent us our deposit and closed the account with us. Later I flew back to Oregon to look at my house again... I was shocked at how Silverton Realty had left the once pristine house we had left them. They said they hired a house keeper and landscaper, but what I saw was piss poor. Oven still filthy, crayon scribbles in the hallway, gunk behind the kitchen faucet and in the stove fan, dart holes near front door, trash in courtyard, leaves in gutters, moss on the roof... all they did, that I could see was wiped off counters, vacuumed, mowed and raked 60% of the leaves. Still trash in courtyard, and I had to replace the light-bulbs myself. Silverton Realty took money to manage our property and all they did to earn it was cash the renters checks and issue us checks. Horrible rental company, I wouldn't trust them with a dog house.
