Melissa Meeks has certainly earned her place as the gold standard of realtors. In the Lago Vista area, home sales have tanked. We were so worried it would take many months to sell our home. We had our first meeting with Melissa in August and closed on our home Dec. 5. She gave great advice on staging, hired an excellent photographer, and had printed some very professional tri-fold pamphlets showcasing our home which were displayed at showings. She began the process with an open house. We had at least one showing every week and a lot of times more than one. That was a lot for this market. She was super communicative and gracious at answering our many questions. She gave excellent advice which help put our minds at ease. We really felt like she was in our corner and had our best interest at heart. I really think the woman works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I highly recommend her. We were so lucky to have her as our realtor.
Melissa Kilian was a 10+ on professionalism. She scored on all the marks—-working with us to understand the value; communicating every step of the process and negotiating in ‘our’ favor on the sale of our home. I own 15 Air B&Bs and understand when an agent is working for you and not Just the commission. She has the ‘can do’, win-win attitude.
Melissa Meeks-Kilian is simply the best!! We’ve now both bought and sold homes with her. Nothing gets past her; her diligence and tenacity is amazing. She put in lots of long hours, took all of our calls/texts and answered any questions we had. We couldn’t have been more pleased with all of her efforts on our part. Melissa is the ultimate real estate professional!
As a single mom looking out of my home state AND dealing with a 1031 exchange for the first time in my life, finding a home was a bit overwhelming. Melissa understood my needs so well, we even had the same comments about properties we looked at. I've rarely felt so understood and in good hands, it was like working with my sister. I'm so grateful for the peace working with Melissa brought. She is amazing! We found something my daughter and I are absolutely over the moon about, and she made a possibly complicated and stressful situation so smooth and easy. Purchasing a home from across the country couldn't have gone so well without Melissa!
Melissa was amazing! From start to finish, she was very hands-on and made sure I understood the entire process from listing the house to closing the sale. Melissa went the extra mile in every aspect, I truly appreciate her support and communication throughout the entire process.
Over the past 6 years, we have had 12 real estate transactions, each time with a different realtor as not a single one ever fully met our realistic and rational expectations. From out of state, we came across Melissa as we inquired about a property which she had pending. That was the start of a relationship that will stand the test of time - now classified a friendship. Melissa found us a new build 50% finished that hadn’t hit the hottest of markets. Not only did she help us secure the property, she was also instrumental in the finish out process as we were completing the home from 1500 miles away. Melissa’s energy, sharpness, commitment, professionalism, acumen, is unparalleled. We’ve never met a realtor that treats a transaction – a project – an issue – as if they were their own. Melissa aims to carry the full burden of complicated transactions on her shoulders – so that her clients – which inevitably become her friends – don’t have to. Without question, she’s the finest in a very qualified pool of real estate professionals – and a truly wonderful lady.
Melissa recently represented us in the marketing and sale of our home in the Westlake area, and was able to accomplish what two prior highly qualified listing agents could not - a closed sale at the price we wanted. Our property had been on and off the market for a couple of years and had a very unique layout. Rather than seeing these challenges as obstacles, Melissa was creative and flexible with her marketing strategy, and simply persevered until she was able to deliver superior results. Melissa's knowledge of market activity and trends goes well beyond the standard online research any realtor can offer - she is seasoned and "in the know" on Austin real estate, and has credible market analysis to support her recommendations. In addition, the customer service went above and beyond even what we expected from Kuper Sotheby's - as long distance sellers, Melissa was incredibly helpful in coordinating contractors, inspectors, etc., throughout the sales process, keeping us informed of even minor details. As a seller, I can not recommend Melissa highly enough.
A year after we bought our home Melissa continues to help with interior design and send us contact info from her golden rolodex of contractors/vendors. It is clear Melissa has built strong relationships with a large network of brokers - during the 80+ houses she showed us she would make it a point to follow up with each agent providing feedback, a small touch but one that has clearly worked - Melissa got us into multiple homes requiring advanced notice, pocket listings and pre-listings not available to be seen with few minutes notice as my wife and I kept expanding the "viewing list."
Melissa is far and away the most competent and knowledgeable realtor I've ever worked with. My one criteria was a home office, and she always brought me listings with those in mind, and got me the perfect setup after only a few tries. Our transaction was extremely complicated due to my husband being sent out of town unexpectedly. Melissa was able to keep all sides, including mine, calm and happy amid the chaos of a delayed closing. Knowing that this was (and still is) my dream house, Melissa did not let me give up hope, and in the end, we had a closing that was, without exaggeration, a miracle! She remains an invaluable resource and friend a year after our purchase.
