Situations we help with

Every move has a story. I'm here for yours.

Not sure where to start?

Share a few details and I'll reach out personally. Everything stays confidential.

Are you buying or selling? (optional)

Your info goes only to Mellissa. Never sold or shared.

Not every sale is simple. Whether you're downsizing, settling an estate or facing a tough financial situation, I'll help you understand your options and move forward with confidence.

01

Buying a Home

Full buyer representation anywhere in Hampton Roads.

For anyone buying a home in Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth or Virginia Beach, whatever your situation. I help you get pre-approved with a local lender, find the right neighborhood, tour in person or by video, and write a strong offer, with my fee often paid by the seller or negotiated into the deal.

Selling a Home

03

Downsizing

Moving to a smaller, simpler home without the stress.

For empty nesters and retirees who have more house than they need and want less upkeep, lower costs or a single-level home. I help you time the sale of your current home with the purchase of the next one, sort out what to do with years of belongings, and price the home so it sells without a long wait.

04

Inherited Property

Selling or managing a home you've inherited.

For heirs who have inherited a house in Hampton Roads, often from out of town, and aren't sure where to start. In Virginia, probate is usually straightforward and often just needs a list of heirs, and I walk you through getting the home cleared out, valued and sold, or kept, with as little stress as possible.

PCS & Military Moves

Selling your home fast when you get PCS orders — every branch.

For active-duty families with orders to or from Naval Station Norfolk, NAS Oceana, JEB Little Creek-Fort Story, the shipyards and other Hampton Roads commands. I help you buy with a VA loan, sell on a tight report date, decide whether to rent your home out, and find a trusted agent at your next duty station.

Relocating

Moving to or from Hampton Roads for work, family or a fresh start.

For families and professionals moving to Hampton Roads for a new job, a change of pace or to be closer to family. I help you compare Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach and Norfolk, tour homes by live video if you can't be here, and close remotely, and I can connect you with a trusted agent in your new state if you're moving away.

Divorce

Selling your home fairly and privately during a divorce.

For couples who need to sell a shared home, or for one spouse buying out the other, during or after a divorce. I stay neutral, keep both sides informed, and work with your attorneys so the sale follows your agreement and moves forward calmly.

Investment Property Buyers

Buying rental and investment property in Hampton Roads.

Pre-Foreclosure

Behind on payments? Explore options before it's too late.

For homeowners who have fallen behind on mortgage payments or received a notice from their lender. Selling before a foreclosure sale can protect your credit and any equity you have left, and I help you understand your options, work with your lender and a housing counselor or attorney, and move quickly.

Distressed Properties

Homes that need major repairs, sold as-is.

For owners of homes that need major repairs, have been damaged, or simply aren't worth fixing up before a sale. I help you decide whether to repair, sell as-is on the open market or sell to an investor, and show you what you'd walk away with in each case.

Tired Landlords

Selling a rental property — with or without tenants.

For tired landlords who are done with tenants, repairs and late-night calls. I help you sell with or without tenants in place, time the sale around leases, and connect you with a tax professional so you understand how the sale affects you before you list.
