Melanie Briggs is a Real Estate Investor at Self-employed. She possess expertise in spanish, first time home buyers, home remodeling planning and budgeting, real estate investing, rental management and 41 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "In my job, I run across alot of real estate agents. My clients often ask for referrals and even when they don't I refer Melanie. Most people refer based on how they felt during the process, but have no real understanding of whether their agent was good or not. I demand more from my real estate agent than just "being nice to me". Anyone can help you buy or sell a house in a great market, but Melanie has the skills to get the most difficult deals through and that's invaluable. She has integrity, excellent judgment, and tenacity. She's smart and knows how to get things done, but she's also careful and thoughtful. She's great at making connections and maintains a network of problem solvers. While other realtors were asking their clients to be irresponsible in a hot market (paying more than they could afford, bringing massive amounts of cash to the table, etc), she worked tirelessly to find and close deals for my clients with very tight budgets. After seeing the work she had done with my clients and friends, I hired her to sell my house. She knew what I should spend money on and what I shouldn't for staging. She helped me find contractors to get the work done. We ended up selling for 10% more than list price, which I thought was already high. But more importantly, when the deal started to go sideways, she gave me great advice that eventually closed the sale. If she were interested in financial planning, I would absolutely hire her!" and "Melanie is a real "people" person. Her subtle yet enthusiastic approach to whatever activity she is involved in makes you believe that you can't go wrong if you join forces with her. Her ideas are positive and well-thought-out and the outcomes reflect that. She is a pleasure to work with."
