Verified Reviews: Top-Rated DC Agent for Relocations & First-Time Homebuyers
DC First-Time Homebuyer Expert Sells More Condos
We can’t recommend Melissa Terzis enough. My husband and I met her through friends she had helped purchase a condo. We rented in dc for 7 years and were finally ready to commit and look for a home. We chatted with her and she answered all of our questions and demonstrated her knowledge about DC in general and the condo market in particular. Within a few days we were looking at condos and in two weeks we had a ratified contract. Melissa sells more condos in DC and knows more about the market than any other realtor. She is also kind in making connections to her professional contacts for anything else you may need. We really trust Melissa which is critical with such a major life investment. 10/10
First-Time Buyer Success: Winning a DC Condo in a Competitive Market
There was so much information to process as we tried to buy our first home. Fortunately, Melissa Terzis seemed like she was available 24 hours a day to guide us, and it was amazing to have a real estate expert totally invested in seeing things from our point of view—while providing critical advice about what we could get and where we could get it within our price range. Not only did she personally guide us all over the city and through a sometimes confusing DC real estate market, she answered our questions and worked on offers at all times of day and night. There are just so many buyers looking at every listing, and I don’t think we would have gotten our lovely new condo without Melissa’s attention to detail, work ethic, and just general sharpness. The level of personal attention we got as Melissa’s clients blew us away. I would recommend her enthusiastically to anyone looking for a realtor in DC.
International Relocation & Investment Expert: Finding Off-Market Homes in DC
My wife and I currently live in Europe with our two small children, which makes trying to buy a house in DC’s competitive market particularly challenging and stressful. We also own several investment properties in DC and have worked with many realtors over the years in DC and in other states. Melissa Terzis is without a doubt, the BEST realtor we have ever worked with. Her knowledge of the DC real estate market and her general estate expertise is unlike anything we have ever seen. She even has her own blog about the different areas in and around DC and as she is also a parent of two kids, she provides insights that only a parent could provide. As we were overseas and with the kids its hard to fly back every time to view a house, Melissa went out of her way to visit homes and dial us in virtually to view them, and also went to other homes she thought we might like to take videos to share with us. She even went to homes that she didn’t think were right for us to take video to then discuss us what problems she saw with the home! Her communication is clear, honest, and fast, which is vital when you are a 5 hour time difference away trying to buy in a competitive market. In addition to all this, she has more integrity than any realtor we have ever worked with. On multiple occasions where she stood to gain much larger commissions from us, she actually talked us out of spending more money that we should! In the end, Melissa found our family the perfect home off-market, and we could not be happier. If you are looking to buy your forever home or an investment property in DC, look no more and send Melissa an email, she’s the best!
Selling a DC Co-op and Finding a Forever Home: Expert Guidance & Local Network
Melissa was a great agent for us, she had the right amount of hand holding mixed with experienced guidance and real estate savvy-ness. I felt that she always listened to my concerns and answered all my bizarre questions as best she could. She helped us sell our beloved coop in DC and helped us navigate a new neighborhood and find our forever home. She has established relationships with other local vendors and contractors. I loved my home buying and selling the experience with Melissa and now I miss the group text question and answers sessions that we used to have over price negotiations, can we renovate this? or the am I being crazy that I liked that last place? Yeah, Melissa I miss you!
First-Time Home Buyer Specialist: Expert Negotiation & Smooth Closing
Some of our friends referred us to Melissa and choosing her as a realtor was the best decision that we made as first-time home buyers. She was great about thoroughly explaining the process to us up front, attuned to what we wanted in our new place, and extremely knowledgeable about where to look and what was feasible for our interests and budget. On top of all of that, she was laid back, funny, and great at taking the stress out of the process.
When we found the place that we wanted, she did a great job of negotiating the price, getting a two year home warranty for us, and making sure closing went smoothly. We’ve already recommended her to some of our friends and will definitely be using her the next time that we’re looking to buy.
Relocating From California to Northwest DC: 100% Virtual Purchase Success
Let me start off by saying “WOW”! A+++ Service, Professionalism, and Industry/Area Expert are a few words to describe Melissa (and her team!). We are so delighted to have met and worked with Melissa in our recent home purchase in Northwest DC. Initially, our transition from California to DC was a few years out and quickly changed to months then weeks! Throughout the process, she listened to what we wanted and helped us laser in our the best area for us and our needs. By the way, the entire process has been done 100% virtually from California. She was incredibly helpful guiding us through the current market, which had changed tremendously since I lived in DC in the mid-to-late 1990’s. She did virtual tours of several places and walked the streets (literally) showing us around. Most importantly, she advised and worked for us to get the best pricing and terms for our new home. My partner and I recommend, without reservation, Melissa to be your GO TO REALTOR (aka DC Real Estate Mama) for any DC area real estate transaction. As a cool side note — We came across Melissa (DC Real Estate Mama) while browsing YouTube looking into DC real estate about 6 months ago! Check her videos out – super informative!
Melissa Terzis is fantastic! As a first time home buyer, she made an otherwise daunting process comfortable and relatively easy for me. Would recommend her to anyone looking to buy in the DMV.
We were referred to Melissa by our West coast realtor…and we were so relieved that on meeting her for the first time she understood our requirements to a T. Melissa is not your typical realtor…she is extremely efficient, searched out properties that fit our parameters,her communication skills are second to none,but was not in the least pushy or aggressive with us during our property search,which we appreciated. However,she is extremely tenacious when going out to bat for her clients whether it be during the negotiations or in our case dealing with an inefficient mortgage company,that despite being an international bank did not understand the vagaries of the DC realty market. Melissa gave us concise explanations for each step of our home buying process in DC and it didn’t matter what time of day we contacted her with queries,she was very quick to return calls,texts and emails. We would totally use her skill and expertise in the future if we were to purchase or sell in DC….and would have no hesitation in recommending her to others.
I honestly cannot say enough good things about Melissa Terzis! As a first time home buyer, I was really overwhelmed by everything there was to do and consider, but Melissa stood by me the whole time, answered all my questions (no matter how ridiculous) and helped guide me through what would have otherwise been a very stressful process. She knows a ton about the DC market and DC in general, her insight and guidance were better than I could have hoped for. Melissa was super responsive to emails/texts outside normal business hours, was great about tweaking my MLS search to find the perfect place and always advocated for my best interests. She is dedicated, professional, honest and a ton of fun to work with! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
I give 5 stars because Ms.Melissa was someone who have patience. Getting our house was long process with the program we used. She play big role in it! I really recommend her. We found a house and started the process before she instead we go see where we finally got. My family love how she explained everything anything we go see a house. My family really love for for her hard work.❤️
We loved working with Melissa! As a first time buyer she helped guide us throughout the buying process and still does check-ins to make sure all is well. She is super knowledgeable, flexible and breaks down the buying process. Love her!
Wanting to buy a condo close to my grandchildren was the goal and Melissa scored! She was always available for questions and concerns. She accommodated our schedule, since we were out-of-towners. And no matter the time, she was available to talk us through the processes (especially since we hadn’t bought a home in 40 years!) Even now, after closing, she is ready and willing to help out with recommendations and advice. Melissa came recommended and we’ll do the same and recommend her to anyone who wants a down-to-earth, reliable, accommodating and knowledgeable realtor in the DC area.
Melissa was amazingly helpful in our home search. She was always very responsive at all hours, gave her honest and unflinching opinion of any house that we were considering, and was alternatingly encouraging and dismissive as needed. Would recommend.
Melissa was extremely efficient and courteous in assisting us with selling our DC Condo recently. She promptly responded to our inquiries and provided us with good data and counsel. She also protectively and proactively looked after our interests. We unhesitatingly highly recommend her.
Melissa knows her stuff. She is well versed in neighborhoods and understands their ever-changing values, helping in the pricing and negotiation process. As an out of town buyer and seller, Melissa went way, way above and beyond, helping me with everything from painters and cleaners to appliance delivery. She makes you feel like you are her only client and her top priority. She has dropped everything and taken care of things for me, so I would not be inconvenienced. I could not have had smooth and successful transactions without all of her help. As someone who has completed numerous real estate transactions, no one else has gone out of their way to provide a complete service like Melissa has, all while acting like it was just part of her job. You will not just be another transaction or just paperwork to Melissa.
Melissa was extremely helpful, over-explained the buying process as I am a first time homebuyer and was patient when I asked a million questions. I’m extremely impressed with her responsiveness to e-mails and her ability to know the market. It was a pleasure working with you! Thanks for the present at closing -how thoughtful!
Melissa was an outstanding real estate agent from start to close. She has a great sense of humor and was a master at finding parking for not only herself but also a second trailing car that included my parents as we were house-hunting. She helped us deal with an incredibly dishonest selling agent who did unethical things to try to sell the condo for more money. Her negotiation skills are especially impressive, and you get the idea that she really really cares about you and is really representing you to the fullest. I have no hesitation to recommend her.
Melissa is not just an amazing woman but a champion, high caliber realtor and I recommend her highly. Her dedication to details and abilities, coupled with her positive attitude helped me get a house that I truly love. I can’t thank her enough for her guidance and patience. She is a true professional. We love you so much!
Melissa was terrific from start to finish in handling a challenging sale, which may have been impossible to close without her expert guidance. She’s a tenacious but fair agent and ally in a highly competitive market. I recommend her highly.
Ridiculously good. Before moving to the US, you hear so many terrible stories about agents being money hungry with as much interest in your satisfaction as I have in coming up with a smart analogy. We tried one agent who pushed us to purchase when we were clearly not ready so that put us off real estate companies, until my wife found Melissa online. Attentive, willing to go the extra mile, understanding and honest about what’s available for what budget. Melissa understood we wanted to wait a year before making a buy decision and helped us find a condo in less than a week. Her job was done, but she insisted on making sure our move was as seamless as possible.
Melissa Terzis just helped us close on our first condo. She was great at walking us through the homebuying process, helped us look at a variety of different options in our price range, and was above and beyond accessible for all of our questions and needs. We had a couple of repair issues with the unit we put an offer on, and Melissa was extremely dedicated to helping us find a solution for them, advocating on our behalf to the seller, and even researching different repair options for us! It was a very stressful situation, but Melissa made it as easy as it possibly could be. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the DC area (and already have!)
Short version: Melissa is exceptional. You would be lucky to have her as your realtor. I wrote this review pretty late in the evening (so forgive typos please), only because I was just on the phone with Melissa well past any suitable working hours. That is exactly the kind of service you can expect with her as your realtor – simply going above and beyond even the highest expected standard. We used Melissa for our first home search and I was thoroughly impressed with her knowledge, candor, and expertise. As a pretty naïve couple navigating DC real estate, Melissa was both professional and enjoyable on our many travels around town. She was straightforward with her thoughts on price vs. value, and quickly understood what we were looking for. Moreover, she made the whole process feel easy. She held our hands without making us feel stupid (which we were). After finding our house, she helped craft a winning strategy for not only getting the home – but working with our special budget situation. She walked us through the loan process, helping us ask the right questions to secure the best rates and made settlement a breeze. Finally, and maybe most notably, even after settlement, as we dealt with the standard new home issues, she stayed by our side to make sure we were comfortable. I cannot say enough (clearly) about how impressive Melissa was. If you are on the hunt for a good realtor, look no further.
Melissa Terzis was recommended to us by friends that were buying in the DC/MD area. My husband and I were first time buyers, just starting to look at what the market had to offer. We knew Melissa was a great fit from our initial conversations about what we were hoping for, if it was feasible, and what we needed to learn along the way. I worried we should have done more research on our own before seeking out an agent, but Melissa’s insight and guidance was invaluable to the process and we were so glad to have her. It was all of the little things she did that did not go unnoticed. She knew the right questions to ask at open houses, continually tweaked our filters on the MRIS database, and emailed us listings before the “daily” email, especially if she thought it might be a competitive property (which most condos we looked at were). To make a long story short, we closed on our condo a month ago and could not be more appreciative to Melissa for helping us find our first home. On top of the professionalism, responsiveness, knowledge, etc., it was how much she genuinely cared about our experience that sticks with us the most. From pep talks when we were overwhelmed by the competitive environment to last minute showings when a relative popped into town, she really went above and beyond for us the whole time. We would, hands down, recommend Melissa Terzis to anyone we know.
For first time homebuyers like us, Melissa was present from the first meeting to house hunting, inspections and closing. She made the whole process easy with reassurance, answers, negotiating on our behalf and making resources available to us. Melissa and her team provided us with more supports after closing and during moving. She is trustworthy and we will recommend her to potential homebuyers.
I have no idea where to begin. Melissa and Michael were the dream team that I needed to not only purchase a house but to find a place that I could call home. Being a first time home buyer, Melissa and Michael were not only wonderful teachers during the process, they were incredibly patient and willing to answer any and all questions that I had… And I had a lot! While I came into the process not knowing very much, the pair ensured that I never went into any decision feeling like I did not have all of the information I needed to make an informed decision. While they shared their opinions when I asked, I never felt pressured to make any decision that I wasn’t ready for or rushed to find a house… Michael and Melissa made it very clear to me that no matter how long it took, they would make sure that I would find my dream home and not feel like I have to rush to settle for less. Not telling my family about my home purchase, Melissa felt like the fairy godmother I needed to advise me and protect me/advocate for me in the realty ring. Michael was the uncle and best friend I didn’t know I needed and helped talk me through every single tour that we went on—never too busy or begrudged to take me back to a location more than once to re-review. Their operations and administrative support team were also top-tier and extremely reliable and responsive. I could not have asked for a better home buying experience. When you work with Melissa and Michael, you have a partner, an advisor, and a new familial duo supporting you not only during the home buying process, but long after you’ve signed on the dotted lines. I could not recommend this team enough.
How do I describe Melissa in the simplest way? You will not regret if you work with her, and you will if you don’t. She may just be the best agent you could find in DMV. Period. And you are lucky if you do find her, and that’s already half way success in finding the dream home. I can’t tell you how many times during our home purchase journey I had thought to myself or tell my family “thank goddess we have Melissa”. She is very responsive, professional, knowledgeable, strategic, personal, patient, and also fun! (You’d wonder how one person can have them all?!) The house hunting journey was not easy with my hubby and I had completely different opinions on what we value for the next home, and I’m very picky and detail oriented. Melissa was there to guide us patiently and strategically every step of the way.
Melissa is terrific. She helped me to both sell a DC condo and buy a new one in DC. I appreciate her good natured approach as she guided me through the complications of selling, financing, and purchasing real estate. Throughout the entire process, she provided forthright answers to my endless questions and thoughtful advice. I recommend Melissa without hesitation.
Melissa was great, she helped us navigate the process masterfully and with great patience. At each step along the way, she was responsive and available to help us with decisions and see a multitude of aspects that were necessary to put us in our house.
Melissa made first-time home buying as painless as possible. She worked around my busy schedule, as well as her own, to find the place that was right “for me”. She is extremely knowledgeable about the various markets in the area, and knows all of the neighborhoods and what they have to offer, allowing her to cater to the buyer’s own preferences. Most importantly, she is trustworthy and honest about all things that one asks her to consider. When the time comes to move again (years down the road), and should it be in the DMV area, there’s no other realtor I will turn to.
I can’t recommend Melissa highly enough. As a first-time buyer, I appreciated her perspective and advice throughout the process. Melissa was knowledgeable and helpful at every step. Her low-key, no-nonsense attitude was a real bonus throughout the ups and downs of the DC real estate market. She was always available to respond to my questions promptly, making the condo-buying experience a lot less stressful. Plus, I really enjoyed working with her!
Melissa is the perfect real estate agent. She worked diligently to find the perfect place for me, and at the last minute secured a substantial seller credit on top of it all. She is first-rate.
Melissa is smart, savvy and no nonsense, three values anyone should value in a real estate agent. She knows the market and process inside and out and delivers her expertise in a no nonsense, yet relatable, funny way! She’s seen it all, so nothing surprises her. She’s happy to provide insightful guidance, but never to her benefit. She wouldn’t let me overpay for a one bedroom, no matter where it was in DC. And, when I fell in love with the first place I saw (which would have been a quick win for her!), she told me all the reasons I should be cautious about the property. She’s patient and realistic the buying process and will move as quick or slow as you want to.
Melissa is a great person to work with and was the best realtor for me. I like that even before I was completely sure I was ready to buy a house, our first meeting was very informative and I was taken seriously. This made me come back 5 months later when I was ready to begin the process. I didn’t know enough about real estate to be nervous going in and the process was made even better with Melissa’s responsiveness to questions at all times and any time. Would highly recommend her to anyone.
Melissa is by far the most impressive and knowledgeable agent I have ever worked with. Rarely does a seller make that statement about an agent that represented the opposite side of a real estate transaction. Melissa not only went above and beyond for her clients, she was extremely fair and reasonable with me as the seller. That balance is not common. As a local developer, I have had my fair share of experiences with a variety of agents, some good and some not so much. Melissa, however, is in a class of her own. Any buyer or seller looking for an honest, fair, and extremely knowledgeable real estate professional, look no further. Melissa Terzis is the best choice you can make
I was a first-time home-buyer in a competitive market and wanted my first home to be perfect. Melissa was by my side through the whole process, answering every question at record speed, taking me on endless property visits, but never pushing me into a property that wasn’t exactly right. Our patience finally paid off and Melissa was able to help me negotiate a fantastic deal on home I love. The combination of her down-to-earth, direct manner, personal contacts in banking, inspections, and contracting, and 15+ years of experience in the field made the whole process totally painless. She really cares about her clients, and I would recommend Melissa to anyone looking to buy/sell a home.
I worked with Melissa and she made the home buying process much less intimating and overwhelming (a real feat in the DC market!). As a first-time buyer, I knew I could always count on her to explain the process in layman’s terms, and she always responded to any questions I had within minutes. I felt like I had a real advocate in my corner all the way through closing. Thanks Melissa, for helping me find my first home!
We can’t say enough good things about Melissa Terzis. She was easy to work with even when we weren’t. She was very flexible and generous with her time, and always available at every step of the process to help prepare us for what to expect. As first time home buyers, her TLC throughout the process made it so much easier. We highly recommend her!
Melissa is an excellent realtor with a lot knowledge of the DC market. She was thorough at every step of the process, responded to emails at all hours of the day and was very patient with my questions—from offers to escrow to post-closing. She was definitely on my team and made every effort for me to get a great price. She is committed to her clients and willing to ‘go the extra mile’. I started my search from overseas and Melissa was a great sport in looking at listings for me and even arranged a skype video viewing—on which I made an offer. I recommend her to new and seasoned home buyers and will definitely use her when buying my next home. UPDATE: Am using her to buy my next home.
My spouse and I used Melissa to buy a home when we moved to Washington DC and we have nothing but good things to say about her. When she took us to see homes she pointed out the negatives, in addition to the positives, something very few real estate people do. She also had a good sense of what was priced well and what wasn’t, which was really helpful. All in all, it was clearly evident that she cared that we made the best decision. We will use her again when the time comes to move.
**Review for Melissa and Her Team** Great JOB!! Yay! I was able to sign the lease! I am so amazed by the team’s attention to detail and help. I had been avoiding this paperwork for a long time, and I’m incredibly grateful that Melissa’s team followed up! They are such a great organization for getting my apartment rented. They showed the place well, were well-versed in obtaining the correct licensing, and anticipated any issues the DCRA might have with my condo. Their work, availability, and ability to get this rented have been nothing short of perfect. Thank you for everything!
I highly recommend Melissa Terzis, Realtor; TTR Sobtheby’s International Realty. Melissa and her team Hanna are very knowledgeable and work hard to meet the requests of their clients.
We found Melissa online in an effort to buy a property from overseas. She listened to our criteria and sent us properties to review and we selected homes we wanted to do a video tour of. She was helpful in sharing both the pros and cons of a property instead of just telling us only the good so that we would buy something sooner. She helped us navigate the whole process and also agreed to meet our furniture delivery when we weren’t in town. 100% recommend Melissa!
Melissa was great. She helped us focus on what we were looking for and expand our potential areas we were looking at. She was very realistic about what things are going to cost vs. what they are listed for and has a keen eye for potential problems. Would recommend
We had a great experience working with Melissa! We bought during a crazy COVID market in DC, and she guided us through every step of the process on multiple offers. We ended up with a home we love and couldn’t be happier. This wasn’t our first time buying a home, but it was our first home in DC. Melissa has a really thorough understanding of the DC market–everything from neighborhoods, things to look out for on flips, etc. She demystified the process and made a chaotic market one that we felt confident navigating. We highly recommend Melissa!
Melissa is outstanding to work with. She is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. Melissa gave excellent advice at every step and achieved a superb result. She went above and beyond in handling all of the details and making the sales process as smooth as possible. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Melissa rocks. We decided to buy a condo for a DC grad school bound child. Since we live in Texas, Melissa had to plan out far in advance the entire buy side process. We used Melissa again when selling the condo post graduation and she went above and beyond. She was there for every phone call regardless of day or time, visited our condo on our behalf countless times, and even recruited her husband to address a few minor condo issues. Highly recommend. A++
I’ve worked with a few real estate agents in my time, and Melissa is by far the best. She knows the DC market inside and out, and because of her expertise, we were able to get well over asking price on the house we were selling and a competitive price on the house we were buying. She is an absolute professional who provided us with outstanding advice and service. I especially appreciate her straight forward manner, strong negotiating skills and tireless commitment to her clients. She’s also detail oriented, which helped all of our transactions to go smoothly. It was truly a pleasure working with Melissa, and I highly recommend her – She’s my agent for life!
Bottom line: Melissa adds value and cares for her clients. Melissa has a fantastic personality – very tell-it-like-it-is, a generous amount of grit, and a go-with-the-flow attitude that bodes well for the inevitable highs and lows of buying real estate. As first-time home buyers, she patiently put us at ease and was excited to walk through our journey with us. See a new listing that you love? Melissa will meet you for a showing ASAP. Want to run comps for a specific block that you have your eye on? Done within minutes. Need to scout out a parking spot in your preferred neighborhood? She’s a pro at finding leads. Melissa will be in your corner, and provide loads of jaw-dropping and hysterical stories along the way to keep you sane. Melissa is an expert on the DC market – we were looking for a condo within a very specific part of downtown, and there are few buildings that she doesn’t know. She’s a longtime DC local with an inside scoop. You like this building, then you’ll love that building just a block over! Melissa does not push you to buy – if you want to make an offer she won’t stand in your way, but if you’ve made your wish list known she will honor your preferences to a fault. And if you need help thinking outside of what you know, she is poised at making recommendations for consideration. Also, she’s not interested in having her clients overpay – under her guidance, we felt balanced in being competitive for the here-and-now and being wise for the long-term. Melissa did not fall off the map after she earned her commission – she has consistently shown interest in making sure we are off to a successful start in our new digs. Our power team (Melissa as our agent and John Gibbins at George Mason as our lender) helped us land our first home at our dream location within budget. We highly recommend Melissa.
Melissa Terzis was an amazing realtor! She understood the competitive DC market so well and was willing to go above and beyond to get us a home. Throughout the whole process, Melissa was supportive and easy to get in touch with. She answered all of our many questions as first time home buyers and even knew what else we’d need to know, though we didn’t even know to ask. When we were feeling discouraged by the crazy DC market, Melissa helped us refocus and regain our enthusiasm. We can’t imagine someone who could be more dedicated to getting us a place that we would love and cherish than Melissa Terzis. We highly recommend her!
It is with great pleasure that I recommend Melissa as a top performing realtor. For ten years I have been a contractor/investor in the D.C. area. For the last four years, she has been very responsive during my home searches. Although I have years of experience buying and selling homes, Melissa walks me through each purchase carefully. She does a great job with evaluating potential purchases and projecting after renovation values for all investment projects. Highly recommended!
The one word that sums up Melissa is outstanding. Responsive, extremely knowledgeable from a real estate and construction perspective, but she also really understands her customers and what they are looking for (possibly better than they might understand themselves!). Effective, direct, honest – she clearly is in this for the long-term, as first-time home buyers get the same attention as high-end. She really goes above and beyond the call of duty. She also made excellent referrals across the board, from lender to inspector. I very much look forward to working with Melissa again, and I strongly recommend her to anyone.
Working with Melissa was one of the best decisions we made as first time homebuyers! We were so grateful to have her years of experience to lean on while deciding on neighborhoods, narrowing down our must haves, weeding out non-quality properties and guiding us through the whole process. It was always clear that her priority was helping us find the right house for us. This included steering us away from a couple of properties that blinded us, as first time buyers, with their shiny renovated kitchens but thankfully Melissa made us focus on the details of those homes that would have made them, either not right for us or a bad investment in the long run. Melissa was always there for us throughout every step of the process. Having her in our corner ensured that our home buying experience never turned into the stressful experience that it could be but rather that it was always the exciting experience that it should be. Thankfully all her hard work paid off! We now own our first home, it’s everything I could have hoped for and I have Melissa to thank for that! We may never need a realtor again but I know who it will be if we do!
I have worked with several other agents in the past, and all I can say is that Melissa Terzis blows everyone away! I had Melissa as my agent and we have seen over 40 homes together. When we first started, it was to get a feel for the market and Melissa was very effective in guiding me to the right neighborhood without ever feeling any pressure. She was very honest in her opinions and input, which is so rare for agents in DC. I never felt forced or pressured and even after I found a place, she asked me if I still want to go through with it. Even after the closing, she still keeps in touch and answers any questions I may have. I highly recommend this group over the other bigger names in the DC area. I could not have been more pleased. If you want an honest and efficient real estate agent, look nowhere else
We love Melissa! We recommend her to everyone we know. She is extremely efficient, knowledgeable, and fun. The house-hunting process can be stressful, but Melissa made it enjoyable. We looked forward to our afternoons with Melissa and we were incredibly impressed by her prompt communications. She responded to our questions at all hours of the day and even on her vacation. Smart, savvy, and honest barely scratch the surface. She is simply the best!
Melissa Terzis is hands down the best! My fiance and I were first-time home buyers. This can be very intimidating- especially in DC. Melissa held our hands through every part of the process, even when we had some ridiculous questions & demands. She works all hours of the day and will have an answer for you within hours (usually minutes). She is up-front, honest & knowledgeable about the DC market. If you’re looking for a realtor who will always have your best interest in mind- go with Melissa Terzis!
As a first time home buyer, I recently had the great pleasure of recently working with Melissa Terzis. I had found Melissa’s name online and her knowledge of the DC market as well as the home buying process was incredibly helpful in my search. She was able to help me set realistic expectations as to what I would find for my price point in my desired neighborhoods. I found Melissa extremely professional, honest and easy to work with. She was prompt in responding to my inquiries at all hours of the day and night and was extremely generous with her time and schedule Melissa truly made the home buying process a breeze and I look forward to recommending her to my friends purchasing homes in the future!
