OUT-OF-TOWN TUCSON HOME SELLERS SAY: "We cannot sing enough praises for Mel Whitford and his wife Patty. We reside outside the state of Arizona and had limited time to prepare our Tucson home for sale. Not only did Mel and Patty provide a well-researched comprehensive ananlysis, resulting in an optimal sales price, but they also personally helped us with the finishing touches that gave the home a positive appeal. We have never had (and are unlikely to find again) Realtors who would paint, pressure-wash, vacuum and stage a home with thier own personal possessions. These services proved invaluable to us as long-distance sellers. Our Tucson home was listed late on a Friday and Mel and Patty hosted and open house the entire weekend. The property sold immediately for the full asking price - which was $40,000 more than another agent we interviewed suggest we list for! ... Mel and Patty took care of every detail, including being present for repairmen and safeguarding our personal property. They are by far the most helpful real estate team we have ever done business with and you would be hard-pressed to find better anywhere! Paul and Jerry Ostendorf, Houston, Texas
NEIGHBORING TUCSON HOME OWNER SAYS: "When I first decided to sell my Tucson Town home I called Mel and Patty because they had recently sold a home in my neighborhood for more than what any of the other homes had sold for. I thought I would like to sell my home for the same price. Although my home was smaller than the other home they had sold only weeks earlier, they told me not only would I get the price I wanted but they would get me more! ...Their close monitoring of the market conditions, along with their superior negotiating skills, allowed me to realize a net sales price far above my expectations. I found their knowledge of the market, experience, and counsel to be invaluable in evaluating the multiple offers. They sold my house in one day for a higher price per square foot than any other similar home in my neighborhood had sold for. If you want to sell your home for the highest possible price you can count on Mel and Patty to deliver. I could not be more pleased with the results." Desiree Ames, Tucson, Arizona
FOR SALE BY OWNER SAYS: "Mel listed our home and sold it for more than we thought we could get, including his commission! It was a pleasure working with Mel." Nanette and Colin Gates, Tucson Arizona
OUT-OF TOWN BUYER WHO PURCHASED PROPERTY THROUGH MEL SIGHT UNSEEN SAYS: "...Mel expertly handled all the arrangements, from obtaining necessary structural and pest inspections to submitting our offer, the seller's counteroffers and our response to their counter offers. In fact, WE NEVER SAW THE PROPERTY in person until the time of closing on the transactioin and we found, at that time, the property to be exactly as represented by Mel, both verbally and in the photos on his website. Mel timely returned our calls and emails and made our "long distance" real estate transaction occur seamlessly. As such, his services come highly recommended by us."David Creekman, Attorney, Reno Nevada.
ANOTHER REAL ESTATE BROKER WHO HIRED MEL TO SELL HIS TUCSON PROPERTY SAYS: "I had listed my Tucson property with another company and agent prior to listing with Mel. I became very frustrated because at no time was I ever contacted by the agent during the listing.....Upon listing with Mel, instantly, he knew what to do in making everyone comfortable in the sale process. I heard from him on a regular basis, even if there wasn't any activity on those days......The property sold in 90 days and quickly closed. I could recommend Mel to anyone seeking the services of a Real Estate Professional. No agent can promise a quick sale, but you can be assured Mel will do everything possible to create a sale, and he will be in constant communication with you....I was a Real Estate Broker and ...a good salesman is one who communicates, listens to your needs, and does everything possible for the end result. Mel is a professional who will help you get those results." Bernard J. Dorsey, Tucson, Arizona
FIRST TIME TUCSON HOME BUYER SAYS: "I found the experience to be stressful at times and really appreciated you calming me down, taking care of all the inspections and working with the seller on all the repairs prior to closing. You were knowledgable, courteous, prosfessional, and you called me every day just to keep in touch!..." Larry Brown, Tucson, Arizona
FIRST TIME TUCSON HOME BUYER SAYS: "I just wanted to pass along a good word for Mel Whitford. I first met him when I started my job here in Tucson, he was going business to business introducing himself and passing out his business cards.....He was friendly and seemed to understand my needs and concerns.... Throughout my whole home buying process, Mel was there assuring me and answering any questions I had, he even accompanied me at the time of escrow. (Now thats service!) I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends and family ....Thank you for making my home buying experience so easy!" Trisha Lake-Redondo, Tucson Arizona
