Testimonials

Melissa was of great assistance to us with the sale of our Kingston property in June 2018. Her knowledge of prevailing market conditions was outstanding and her ability to negotiate around these and conclude a successful contract was much to be admired. Melissa also assisted with the negotiation of a favourable contract for the acquisition of our present property in Forrest ACT. Her skills in the negotiation of prices in a difficult market were exemplary. It is our opinion that Melissa is a person of great integrity in her dealings with both buyers and sellers. Furthermore, on a personal level, Melissa did not treat us as just another client. She looked after and treated us as a friend or a family member, being concerned about our health, wealth and well being at all the time. We would strongly recommend Melissa to any potential buyer or seller.

I engaged Melissa Martin Smith (Luton Properties) to sell my unit for me. At the time it was rented and managed by another real estate company. I had given the tenants 8 weeks’ notice to vacate the property. The vacate date came and went and the managing agents were not giving any advice or assistance. Melissa advised me through the process to get the property vacant, then suggested the best way forward to present the property for sale as it was in need of a good renovation. Her advice at each step proved to be in my best interest and I was very happy with the outcome of the sale. Melissa was professional, efficient and caring agent throughout the process and I would have no hesitation in recommending her in the future.

We have been very lucky to find Melissa as the Real Estate Agent/ Realtor for both buying our new home and in the process, selling our previous one. She has been exceedingly pleasant and easy to work with in both the roles of preparing for the sale, and organizing the purchase of the new home. Her attitude is so positive and "can do", always affirming the clients' role and needs in the process. She understands the need for confidentiality and she listens. Melissa also remembers all the details of her clients unique requests and concerns. Before she acts on them she is mindful of them in discussions and in making decisions. We had no surprises to overcome as communication was extremely good throughout. We have recommended her to friends and they too have found her a breath of fresh air, communicating frequently and clearly, attention to detail, keeping her word, positive throughout, efficient and totally reliable. A clear example of someone who loves her job in all its aspects and treats clients with professional and personal respect.
