Melissa was a fantastic partner in our home buying journey. As newcomers to the area, we were grateful for her deep local knowledge—she took the time to tour us around, explain the nuances of each neighborhood, and help us understand our options.
Melissa really took the time to get to know us. She listened to our preferences and helped us focus on homes that were a great fit for our family. Her thoughtful guidance made the process feel personalized and efficient.
She also made the entire buying process smooth—from making an offer to navigating inspections and closing. Melissa was always responsive, clear, and one step ahead.
Beyond her professionalism, she’s simply a kind and genuine person. We felt fully supported every step of the way. Highly recommend working with Melissa!

Melissa is highly knowledgeable and wise about market conditions and pricing. She stays on top of current sales, etc. so knows what's out there. I had an excellent offer the day it was listed.
She explains the process in as much detail as you need and provides contact information or sets up with banks, escrow company, other resources.
I found her to be very responsive -- by phone, email, text, within an hour. She is as personable and professional as they come.
My schedule for selling my house fluctuated due to my own move and life schedule changes, and she was very accommodating - never flustered, and there was never a barrier.
I highly recommend her!

Melissa Schapiro was fantastic! She knows the Bellingham housing market so well! She understood the history of the neighborhoods and the pricing of the current housing market. She was always available every time we had a question. She was able to get answers to us right away. On top of that she is so warm and friendly that it was a true pleasure being able to work with her!

Melissa was great in every aspect. I had many questions as this was my first home purchase and she was always prompt to respond and helpful.

The entire process was smooth sailing. She seemed to have a lot of local knowledge about the different interesting neighborhoods, activities and what have you.

I appreciated working with her and would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a new house in Bellingham.

I was referred to Melissa by a trusted colleague and gently, though quickly and efficiently, introduced to the local real estate market. I did not expect the process to move quickly, but with keys to my new home in hand I'm starting to realize the value of timeliness. I feel lucky, and I would be happy to refer Melissa to others.
