Melo Hogan has a great personality and is very professional. Since the first day we meet. Melo followed up with all parties involved to ensure the process was moving along smoothly, making the home buying experience less stressful than it already is. My family now has our Dream Home thanks to Melo Hogan for all her hard work. We look forward to working with her in the future. I have recommended her to friends and family, and we will continue to recommend her to others who are looking to buy a home.

We were casually looking for a realtor for months, but nothing really caught our attention until I stumbled on one of Melo’s social media accounts. She was exactly what we were hoping for- someone who knows our neighborhood and has a heart for our community. When we met her, we realized how lucky we were. She listened to our hopes and concerns, worked with our weird schedule, transitioned seamlessly to the type of communication that worked the best for us, shared her connections and then facilitated scheduling the myriad contractors we would need (stager, inspector, cleaner, etc) and created some truly beautiful marketing materials. She carefully planned and expertly executed each step of the process, and the result was a stress-free home sale for us. We just closed a few days ago, for $25K over asking price, after reviewing 6 offers. We feel so grateful to have had this experience, and specifically to have had Melo by our side throughout. She’s a great realtor and an amazing human.

We decided to buy a house in a very hot market and Melo went out of her way to assist us in any way possible. She remained flexible around our schedules, researched every aspect of the market for us, assisted us in establishing our VA home loan, broke everything down to English, and recommended us well qualified inspectors and contractors to finish out our home buying experience. We would still be looking for a home if it wasn’t for her and there is no way we would have sealed the deal on such a perfect house without her.

Melo was truly a joy to work with when selling our house. We reached out to her at the early stages of our process, as first time home sellers. She provided us a thorough overview of the market, her approach, and also some wise advice on when to list and some pointers on the recent shifts in the housing market. We followed all of her expert advice, and listed our house in September. Four days later, we had five offers and sold our house well over the listing price, which is incredible but truly remarkable given recent shifts in the market. Most of all though, I really appreciated working with Melo because of her calm energy, her kindness, and her excellent communication skills. She made a process filled with uncertainty feel organized and her expertise made us have excellent outcomes.

We had a wonderful experience with Melo as first-time home buyers. We connected with her personality instantly, which made it so easy and fun to work with her for the time it took to search for and close on our home. We always looked forward to getting a new message from her. She anticipated our needs and guided us through aspects of the process that we wouldn’t have considered on our own. Buying your first home can be nerve-wracking, but Melo reassured us and was genuinely supportive. We can’t imagine what buying a home would have been like without her. It’s because of the trust we had in Melo that we’re now living our dreams in our new home.

I decided on a whim to sell my house and buy something a little bigger in a seller’s market. Melo was my realtor and she guided me through the process. To be frank she was amazing. She came recommended through my lender whom I trust implicitly and he could not have been more spot on about how hard she works for her clients. I have only bought one house before and had never sold before so the experience was fairly nerve-wracking and scary. Add to that that I tend to be a high anxiety person and you have a recipe for tons of stress and frustration. The way Melo marketed my house to sell was perfect and she did a ton of leg work – enlisting a professional photographer, advising me on how to decorate, and facilitating the best possible offers. Once that sold (in 3 days) she was off working to get me into the house I loved. She was responsive, kind, understanding even when I was acting like an insane person, and just really good at her job. She got me out of my house and into a new one with no gaps in housing and within 2 months. I can’t thank her enough for all the work she did. I will recommend her to anyone that asks. Thank you Melo! 

Let me just start by saying Melo is the BEST!!! If you’re in the market to sell or buy a home, I cannot say enough great things about our experience working with her and highly recommend you give her a call! Like… right now! We first met at a Tacoma Boss Ladies meet-up for local business owners and after we started following each other on social media and I quickly admired her love for the city and support the community. So when I decided Tacoma was where I wanted to settle down, I knew she was exactly who I wanted to work with!

I was a first time homebuyer and she was so thoughtful in explaining the process and worked around the clock to help us get our dream home in a REALLY hot market. Her expertise, professionalism and passion for her work shined through at every level and I am just so thankful that she was on our side. We went through a couple of bidding wars on the first listing we were interested in, and after that didn’t work out (thankfully in hindsight) she worked tirelessly to find the perfect home for us.

When our townhouse popped up she was able to get us a showing within hours of it being listed and it is because of her quick action and dedication that we were able to get our home! Our townhouse ended up being another multiple offer deal — within 24 hours — and it is times like that where you 100% need an agent that is calm and collected and has the experience and knowledge on how to strategize and make a deal happen. Truly a game changer!

After our experience working together, you can bet that I’ll be singing her praises to whoever will listen from now on! She really went above and beyond for us through the entire process and was even able to help bump our closing date up early! Like whattt?! She’s the bomb. So if you’re looking for a real estate boss lady to make magic happen for your family too, look no further because she’s truly the best! 🎉
