Melissa LeGrand

We sold our home in Blackhawk over in Middleton recently and if it weren't for Melissa and Brogan we would still be trying to sell this house. We tried selling our home for years with a number of real estate agencies in the area and none put in the time and effort that LeGrand Real Estate has. Selling luxury homes is not easy by any means, however, with LeGrand Real Estate our home which was on the market for 2 years was sold in a matter of months. As a fellow homeowner who went through the selling experience, I understand the struggle to try to sell your home as quickly as you can to continue with your life, yet if you can't sell your home it feels as if your life is on pause. That is exactly how we felt before Melissa and Brogan came in and saved the day. Additionally, they were quick to respond to emails, and phone: calls, and answered any questions that we had at any time of the day.…

Melissa made the selling process very smooth. She communicated in a timely manner and eased my nerves. And her team moved things from my storage unit, which was above and beyond customer service. I would highly recommend Melissa LeGrand as your REALTOR.

————

As a relocating family, we were so worried about finding a house/neighborhood in a state we had never even visited. Melissa went out of her way to show us different neighborhoods, helped us get clear on exactly what we wanted in a house, and was a valuable resource when it came to pricing and the process. We were very nervous about relocating, but Melissa's above-and-beyond professionalism and expertise put us at ease. You will be lucky to get her as your REALTOR.

————

We have worked with Melissa on several transactions. In addition to being a joy to work with, her knowledge and level of customer service are unrivaled. I have the greatest respect for her. I wouldn’t consider working with anyone other than Melissa.

————

We bought a house with Melissa's help. It was our first time buying a house, and Melissa helped us a lot through the process in a difficult market (well, difficult for buyers). We have no complaints at all. Since buying the house a few months ago, we have recommended Melissa to two colleagues looking to buy.

————

Melissa was terrific to work with! She found us a fantastic house and was very responsive to our needs. She was recommended to us by a colleague who said that Melissa works fast and hard. She really does. I would definitely recommend her. She is the best.

————

Working with Melissa was wonderful. She had helped my parents sell their home, so I was aware of her skills and knowledge of the market. Handling property transactions during COVID is a quick thing: Nothing is staying on the market long, and multiple offers are driving up prices. Melissa really worked with the seller and her agent to get my offer accepted over the other two that were on the table. She was prompt with getting back to me about the give and take going on during the negotiations and was honest with me about what I would have to give in order to get the property. Her skills worked and I am happily in my new condo (the only complex I wanted). She is also a sweetheart. I give her the highest recommendation possible!

————

Melissa helped me find and purchase my second home, and when I was ready to sell, she was also the REALTOR I called for that. I was impressed by how quickly Melissa responded to my questions and by how knowledgeable she was about the area and buying/selling process. After selling my house, she also helped me find and buy land to build on and recommended me to a great local builder. I would 100% recommend working with Melissa, you won't be disappointed!

————

I never actually saw the halo, but Melissa (Miss-Lissa as my 2-year-old called her) was an angel for being the most patient person as we relocated to Madison from Ohio while my wife was 8 months pregnant with twins. We still feel like we owe her for the time invested. Highly recommend especially if you are relocating.

————

Melissa has been outstanding to work with. From day one, she has had a great marketing plan to get my house sold. She communicates with me all the time regarding the process, and always follows up on what she says she is going to do. I would definitely recommend her!

————

Melissa helped us with buying a home. We were relocating from a different state, and she sent weekly emails for many months with all the new homes that were on the market prior to our actual home-buying visit. This really helped us stay on top of the real estate market in Madison from afar. I most appreciate her responsiveness and professionalism. I also know that she understood our style and choices of homes very quickly. She was available for us and responded to any question or concern we ever had. Additionally, she has shown us that she really knows and understands this business and also has other contacts that we have found very helpful. Additionally, I have seen that she is also respected by her colleagues. Finally, what has made me take the time to write this review is that she risked a potential deal and she knew that by doing this, she knew she could potentially lose a big sale. …

Despite this, she stepped up and risked it all for us so we could get the home we knew was absolutely right for our family. We are so thankful for that.

————

Working with Melissa is fantastic, I couldn't recommend her more! She is always available, very knowledgeable, and calmed our nerves throughout the whole process. We had a great experience with her when we bought this home, so when it was time to relocate again, I immediately called Melissa to help us sell.

————

Purchased our 2nd home from Melissa in just over 2 years. I recommended her to 2 of my co-workers as well. Both purchased homes and were also more than pleased! So long as we buy or sell in the Madison area we will only work with Melissa!

————

She helped us find the perfect home! My coworker referred us to her and I am thankful he did. She was very knowledgeable and gave us great advice to help ensure our bid was accepted. I highly recommend Melissa LeGrand!

We had been considering listing our home for some time, and finally decided it was time to make the move. We worked with Melissa to determine our requirements for the new home, and she dutifully showed us homes until we narrowed in on the right one. At the same time, she provided insight into our existing home, and what we should anticipate throughout the sales process. Any time we had a question, a simple call, email or text got us an immediate answer. We found the new house we had been looking for and immediately got the process moving to sell our old home. We received an offer the first day the home was listed, and Melissa helped us through all the paperwork to make sure the closings lined up, and we got the most out of both deals.

Thanks, Melissa!

————

Melissa is very professional but still very personable. She knows exactly what is going on in the market at all times. We had a very specific list of what we needed in a home and she found what we needed very fast! She is upfront and honest. She tells it like it is. You don't find that often anymore, people just tell you what you want to hear. I appreciate her honesty and her ability to give her upfront and honest advice. I highly recommend her to all of my friends and family! A+.

————

Melissa was extremely helpful throughout the process of purchasing our first home. We were quick to find the right one and she jumped on it and got a deal hammered out over the weekend we got exactly what we wanted in a market where houses were going within days. She answered all emails within hours and always kept us up to date with information throughout the process and really made buying a house a simple and stress-free experience. If I am ever in the market for a house again, she will absolutely be my first call!

————

We really enjoyed working with Melissa. She made buying our first home a very easy process. She is very friendly, extremely responsive, and helpful. We would definitely recommend working with her. We couldn't be happier.

————

Melissa is a true expert. She was completely dedicated to helping us through the process of selling our home, not only with her time and effort but in her patience and kindness. Melissa knows that your home is not just a financial transaction to you, and treats you like a good friend during the process. She took control of everything so we could go on with our lives while our home was on the market. I trusted her comprehensive expertise in real estate, and her unending knowledge of Middleton, but more importantly, I trusted her truth and integrity. She somehow made the whole process of selling our home fun. She is truly the best.

————

Melissa helped us with our relocation and the purchase of our new home. She is an exceptional agent. She is extremely knowledgeable about the market and gave us great recommendations and advice. Melissa did everything she could to make our relocation as easy as possible for us. She made the process from beginning to end seem easy! Even after our closing, she remains our go-to person for local information and is always happy to help.

————

We first worked with Melissa a couple of years ago for the purpose of selling our home after we’d already moved out of state. We had an accepted offer within 2 weeks. We recently closed on the sale of our income property where Melissa handled everything for us again remotely. There is an added challenge on Melissa’s part when working with out-of-state clients and she exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend working with Melissa!

————

Melissa listed and sold our home in Middleton. She is very professional, responsive, and willing to go above and beyond to ensure the best results for us. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. She always made herself available to answer any questions we had. She provided fantastic marketing materials for our home and was willing to make photo changes as the changes in seasons required. She proved extremely knowledgeable about the housing market in our area as well as the schools. Her willingness to follow up with any/all potential buyers proved to be an asset as she was able to successfully turn potential into a sale.

————

I can not thank Melissa enough for her patience and guidance during our recent home search and ultimately, home purchase. She showed us homes that met our needs and were understanding if we took a pass. She is the ultimate professional! She handles herself and her interactions with homeowners and buyers exceptionally well. We always felt that she had/has our best interest at heart. I would recommend Melissa to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home.

————

My husband and I needed to sell our home quickly due to relocation for work and Melissa understood our need. She used her expertise to move the property quickly while still allowing us to get the best offer for our home. Melissa was very communicative which made us feel comfortable during the selling process.

————

I was first introduced to Melissa when I traveled to Madison for a job interview from a large city on the east coast. I wanted to tour the city and get a feel for the real estate and she was recommended by my future employer. The time we spent together was very helpful. I later accepted the job and a year later purchased a house through Melissa. Doing that period we continued to work together and toured many properties. The whole process could not have been easier or more enjoyable. You simply can't go wrong engaging Melissa and you will have a great time working with her.

————

Melissa did a great job finding us a home that was perfect for our needs. She knew what to show us better than we knew how to ask for it. She was detailed in the process and did an amazing job from start to end.

————

Melissa was very helpful in helping us decide how to prepare and market our home and helped us get a much better price than other agents had suggested. She is very positive and energetic without being pushy.

————

Over the years we've worked with a number of REALTOR. None were as professional and as knowledgeable as Melissa. She was a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend her to anyone.

————

My husband and I just went through the experience of buying a house for the first time and it could not have gone more smoothly. I have had a bad experience with a REALTOR in the past and ended up renting for the past few months, but this time could not have been any easier. Melissa listened to us when we told her what we wanted in a house and didn't waste our time with properties that didn't suit our needs. We had decided on a house after just 2 weeks of looking. Unfortunately, there were other offers on the table, but Melissa knew how to negotiate with the buyers and, from experience, knew what we should accept and what to counter. The sellers chose us and Melissa walked us through the closing process. It was a stress-free experience and we couldn't have asked for a better REALTOR. Buying a house was actually fun and not overwhelming like my prior experience.

————

You cannot go wrong if you choose to work with Melissa as your REALTOR! She is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated, patient, and fun to work with. She goes above and beyond to make sure that you are getting exactly what you are looking for and more! She is willing to go out of her way to ensure you have the best experience during the process. We used Melissa 10 years ago to buy our first home, and now she just helped us find our new dream home. Did I mention she sold our house after 8 hours on the market? I cannot say enough about Melissa, we love her!

Melissa has been my REALTOR twice now for selling and buying two homes. She has impressed me over and over again with her thorough knowledge of the housing market and extremely hard work to do whatever she could for me as her client. From the start of staging my home, to having an incredible listing with great professional photos to open houses, Melissa went beyond what I would have expected, and through her work, we were able to sell my home in a week's time. No matter the time of day Melissa was always responsive to email and/or text messages to answer any questions I may have had as well as help make sure I understood every step of the process. She always focused on finding homes that fit my needs as well as giving good advice and being encouraging in the time that it took, never focusing on just closing a deal.

Melissa was a pleasure to work with over the past few months during our relocation to the Madison area from the West Coast. Even though the market was tough over the winter, Melissa persevered and helped us find the right place for our family. She was very responsive, kept on top of the market, and arranged for us to see many properties immediately as they were listed, ensuring that we wouldn't miss out when the right house appeared. Also, as a native of Madison, her knowledge of the greater-Madison area is exceptional. She knows every neighborhood, the amenities surrounding it, and the schools. Ultimately, we found a great house that meets our needs and that we're very happy with and we credit Melissa with that!

Melissa was extremely helpful given our particular circumstances. Our transaction was from afar and required a great deal of extra work and coordination on her part. I would highly recommend Melissa.

————

I met with Melissa to discuss the type of condo I was looking for. She immediately impressed me with her professionalism and knowledge of the market. Inventory, at that time, was low but she encouraged me to be patient. Late one afternoon, Melissa contacted me within minutes of a condo, meeting my criteria, being listed. Within 3 hours she set up a showing, toured the property with me, and had an accepted offer. I wanted this property and she knew exactly how to make it all come together. To date, my condo is appraising at $30,000.00 more than I paid for it.

————

Melissa listened to what we wanted. She showed us listings that met all of our criteria. Working with her was a great experience. This was our first time working with a REALTOR and she made our search such a very positive experience. She was prompt in returning our calls and stayed with us until we closed on our home. She did a great job for us and we would highly recommend her to others looking for a REALTOR.

————

This is the first house we've sold with Melissa and the second house we've bought. We continue to use Melissa because of her professionalism, knowledge of the market, and support through a big financial commitment. Plus, she's very easy to work with while being direct and supportive of your situation. She'll be our first call when we decide to sell!

————

Melissa LeGrand is truly one of the best in the business! She is not only knowledgeable but also patient and compassionate. Melissa took the time to really get to know us and was able to find a great home that met our unique family needs! Melissa was invaluable to us from start to finish and I would absolutely recommend her to everyone I know!

————

Melissa was absolutely wonderful to work with. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions and insecurities. Melissa was so professional and knowledgeable and helped us fully understand the process of buying a home. She was always easy to reach, and quick to respond to any questions we had. Melissa was able to find us the perfect house and had many strategies to help our offer get accepted (even though we were competing against five other offers!). When a few issues arose, she solved them with ease. She made sure we were comfortable and happy every step of the process. Melissa was not only professional but also a really fun person to work with.

————

Our family has had the pleasure of working with Melissa on two separate real estate transactions over the last 5 years. Our personal situation was likely more complex than the average potential homeowner and Melissa handled each of our real estate purchases with grace and poise. Living in the greater Madison area for a long time, she is very knowledgeable about the various school systems and property values. Melissa is honest, hard-working, and very professional and was always available to us with questions and concerns. If you are looking for a real estate agent that sincerely has your best interests at heart, chose Melissa!

————

I moved to Madison in early 2020. Melissa and Brogan were incredibly helpful in getting familiarized with the neighborhoods and the market. They helped me find and negotiate a purchase that worked great for me.

Allexa H.

My husband and I are so fortunate to have Becca as our realtor; we are first time home-buyers (and now home-owners!) and Becca made the whole process so easy to understand and follow through. She has helped us in so many more ways than finding our home, she is the first person we ask for advice on anything related to our new home following our closing. Thank you Becca for going above and beyond for us!

Stephanie F.

Becca absolutely went over and above in representing us in the sale of our house. While we were skeptical about the value of a “full service” realtor in these days of Zillow, we believe Becca absolutely helped us to optimize the sale price of our house. She made excellent use of technology, social media and even old-fashioned mailers. Beyond that, she was a huge help in getting our house ready for sale.

Monica F.

It was amazing working with Becca. We were stressed moving from out of state and she made the process very smooth. She put together video tours when it was hard for us to make it to town to look at homes and drove us around when we could make it up. She found us a place off the market and once our offer was accepted walked us through the process and also found local people to call to set up repairs and cleaning. Again, she was great to work with and I'd highly recommend her!

Maggie Steingraber-pharr

Amanda was amazing! She helped us sell our house and build a new home this past year. Moving our family with young children was a daunting task but she made it very smooth and low stress. She helped us find a high quality, local builder and the whole project was completed in about 6 months! Her attention to detail and organization was wonderful! —

kohairdesignsllc

Amanda hands down is the best! Thanks to her we now live in our forever home. She knew exactly how to write up an offer to get us into our home. Also thanks to her we sold our old house in 1 day with lots of extra cash in our pockets!

Morgan Hamilton

Amanda made the process of finding our first home so easy. She walked us through every step of the process and made feel more comfortable and confident as first time homebuyers. Thank you Amanda!

It is with extreme pleasure that I recommend Sabra Gent for your future real estate needs. She will not only handle the buying or selling of your home with expertise and precision, she will make the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable! I entrusted Sabra to sell my beautiful Bay Creek bungalow this Spring and was thrilled with the entire process. I had moved out of the country, and needed a reliable real estate professional to handle the sale for me while abroad. Sabra stepped up to the plate with gusto! Her research, marketing, & community connections helped me achieve a phenomenal buyer and an unbelievable price for my beloved home. Everything went seamlessly and I could not be happier! I will be forever thankful for Sabra’s guidance & expertise. It is with 100% confidence that I recommend Sabra Gent when looking for a real estate agent!

Anna Javellana

My husband and I had a great experience working with Sabra. Overall, the housing market was bananas and to sum up our experience... we had FUN. Sabra did an amazing job keeping us informed of the process while also helping guide us through the emotional process of homebuying. She pointed out things to us that we didn't think to consider or ask ourselves and because of that... we ended up in a spot we love. Thank you, Sabra!

John M

I am biased but Sarah was very organized, professional, and spot on with what needed to be done with paint, furniture, art, and staging. The house sold fast at a good price (above listed price) when a similar one down the street did not get and acceptable offer and was pulled off the market. I have worked with numerous agents over the years and Sarah is one of the best.

Sara G

Could not have been happier working with Sarah and Amy. We purchased a new home and sold our existing home with them. They helped us get a winning offer out of 12 on our dream home because of their expertise and drive. They were then able to quickly stage and sell our home so that we could align the closing dates. They were so easy to work with, listened to our goals and were also so much fun along the way. I will be recommending them to all of our friends. THANK YOU!
