“…Melissa will do whatever is needed to make your transaction successful.”

“In our 35 years of dealing with Realtors, some really get an “attitude” and won’t even return calls, they just want the listing and then “forget it, the property will sell itself”. I can honestly say Melissa will do whatever is needed to make your transaction successful. We have been very appreciative to have her representing us.”

We loved our experience with Melissa, she is an expert, very professional, very kind and hardworking. She was very patient because we had no idea how the process was like, but she guided us through each phase.
She was really responsive when we asked any silly question providing us with great detail, so it was easy for us to feel confident about reaching out to her.
While looking at houses she had a good eye for identifying potential expensive issues.

Melissa Ballman is THE BEST realtor in Utah! Seriously, we have used her to buy and sell in the Salt Lake City area and she is top notch. You will NOT find a better agent! She always responds to every single text, call, message immediately and goes above and beyond! We highly recommend her!!!

We recently relocated to the SLC area and were blessed to have Melissa as our realtor. She is extremely knowledgable, professional, and dedicated. In the current market you really need a realtor who puts 100% effort and time into assisting with a purchase and Melissa does just that. She provided tips on lender shopping that saved me thousands of dollars. If you are reading this review, just trust me and give her a call.

Our experience with Melissa was incredible! Being first-time home buyers, we weren’t well-versed in the real estate process, so having Melissa guide us through each step and answer all our questions was a huge help. She was never pushy about getting us to put in offers – she respected our decisions and made an effort to make sure we were comfortable with the offers we submitted. Communication was always quick and very clear. We are now homeowners and couldn’t be happier with our buying experience! We would recommend Melissa to anyone looking in Utah.

If you are looking for the best real estate agent in the Salt Lake City area, look no further than Melissa! I recently moved from out of state and Melissa was extremely helpful and very professional. Her level of customer service is top notch. She always fully addresses your questions, she promptly returns your calls and her knowledge of the industry is exceptional. If she needs to reach out to someone on your behalf, she does so immediately and gets back to you quickly. Her customer service skills and attention to detail just blew me away from day one. I could not be happier that I selected Melissa as my agent. She will definitely help you find your dream home!

We found Melissa through her informative YouTube videos and knew she could help us buying from out of state. She was always just a phone call or text away. Super quick response and always on top of everything. She sent many photos and videos of our house as it was being completed. She also recommended a great lender. Highly recommend her. You won’t be disappointed.

Melissa was outstanding in every regard. Melissa is the consummate real estate professional: knowledgeable, responsive, customer focused, and acting with a sense of urgency. Five stars all the way. We cannot imagine a better partner for us when it came to making this big move. We unconditionally recommend her to all.

“I would definitely recommend Melissa for her communications and quick responsiveness.”

“I was impressed with Melissa Ballman and her skills . This was my first condo sale. She found a good buyer but I felt my needs were met, too. I would definitely recommend Melissa for her communications and quick responsiveness.

“…she is available – she answers her phone, returns calls promptly, and works hard to help you be successful.”

“We wanted to write and share our highest recommendation for Melissa’s excellent service. Melissa has represented us on several investment real estate transactions. We can’t say enough about her patience, professionalism, and especially attention to every detail such as key dates, inspections, etc. She has the demeanor to see tough deals through and remains calm and poised so as not to allow people to get caught up in emotions, but to remain focused on goals and what is important.
Another key personality trait Melissa has, which I can say 99% of Realtors do NOT have is, is she is available – she answers her phone, returns calls promptly, and works hard to help you be successful. So much of success in a seller’s market is timing, and being prompt can mean the difference between closing that dream home or sitting while the dream passes you by. We know we can always call and she will be there for us.”

“Melissa found me the perfect home in a great neighborhood within a couple of days.”

“Melissa was incredible to work with in purchasing my home. She connected me with a wonderful and knowledgeable mortgage broker. Melissa found me the perfect home in a great neighborhood within a couple of days. She was a wealth of knowledge regarding neighborhoods here in Utah as well as walking me through the paperwork, inspections, and deadlines. I highly recommend her to everyone.”

“She went above and beyond.”

Melissa was AMAZING. I have to be one of the worst customers. It took me over 3 years to find a house, off and on off and on. She went above and beyond. She even knocked doors in the neighbor hoods I wanted to move to. She was extremely patient and stuck with me the entire time. She helped me  through the sale of my house and the purchase of my new home and made a stressful situation a pleasant experience.”

“She followed up with me and was always available to answer any questions I had.”

“I highly recommend Melissa to buy or sell a home. As a first time homebuyer she walked me through all the details and made sure everything under her control went as smooth as possible. She followed up with me and was always available to answer any questions I had. Melissa is honest and wants what’s best for her clients. She’s also very knowledgeable about the market and current trends.”

“If you are looking for a real estate agent that will work for you…”

“Attention to detail, communication, and looking out for our family. Those are the three of the biggest reasons why we would recommend Melissa Ballman.
Melissa took the time to pay attention to all of the details, big and small during the entire process of selling our home. From the beginning preparations, staging, pictures, showings, open houses, and negations Melissa was there to ensure that we were prepared for everything.
With so many different aspects of selling a home we were overwhelmed. Melissa took the time to explain everything that was happening during the process. She was available to answer all questions and concerns that we had.
Melissa’s knowledge and experience made our family feel comfortable during the entire process. She took the time to make us feel that she was looking out for our best interest, which she was.
If you are looking for a real estate agent that will work for you and your family Melissa Ballman is the right choice.
