Melanie Emery went out of her way to help us through the entire process. She was always available for questions, concerns, etc. She also was pregnant and had baby Vance during the entire process which didn't slow her down. She helped us get through this trying time especially since we hadn't moved from our residence for almost 40 years and she was great with the helping us through everything and the emotional issues that come with selling your house after almost 40 yrs being there. She explained the paperwork/contracts and all the info to sell and close on our house. We couldn't have done this without Melanie's time and effort to help us sell our house. The closing was quick and easy and the people Title Werks people were great! We will highly recommend Melanie to other people.

Melanie handles everything quickly to make the buying and selling process seamless. Our process took a long time due to issues out of our control, Mel made sure that everything was done in our best interest and makes you her top priority! I would not even think about calling anyone else if i need to sell or purchase another home! She is one of the good ones!

Mel was great to work with and successfully made a sale and purchase happen for us in a very short period of time. There were many times when we wanted to rip our hair out dealing with the weather, our own property issues, other agents/potential buyers and she was always the voice of reason that got us off the ledge! She has a very direct, practical and reasonable approach and lots of good experience that helped guide us to make decisions and move forward.

Melanie was amazing to work with. I was a first time home buyer, and felt I had a personal friend assisting me in getting exactly what I needed/wanted. My mortgage wasn't a big one, but she made me feel like one of her most important client. She was extremely professional, organized, and prompt through the whole process. It was nice to have someone guiding me through a life changing moment. It was comforting to know that Melanie had the best interest for me an my family in mind. I would definitely recommend and use her and The Ewing Group for any future investments.

Incredible work by Mel. She was aggressive in selling our home and finding us a new one. She went so far above and beyond our expectations to make our home sale/purchase fast, smooth and as low stress as possible. She was always there to help us navigate the waters of real estate and always took time to make sure we understood everything. I don't think any other real estate agent could have done w hat Mel did for us! Our family can not say enough good things about Mel and her team!

Melanie Smith and the Ewing Group were absolutely amazing to work with during the process of purchasing our home. There were many issues that arose with the lenders, closers, and sellers, that Melanie was proactive and dedicated to finding resolutions to. Melanie went above and beyond to help us close on the home that we fell in love with, and made what could have been an extremely stressful situation into a seamless transaction. We were ready to give up on purchasing our home when we learned that the property was located in a FEMA designated flood zone. Melanie was undeterred and immediately went to work with land surveyors, the sellers agent, and FEMA to assign the current LOMA and Base Level Flood Elevation so that the property was able to be taken out of the flood zone certification and have the mandatory flood insurance removed from the home. This allowed us to be able to afford to purchase the home and none of it would have been possible without Melanie.​My wife works out of town and only had a couple days that would work for her to be present at the closing. Without our knowledge, the seller’s closer was going to push back the closing date noting that he could not get seller’s signatures in time. Melanie resolved the problem with the seller’s agent and closer and insured that we were still able to meet our assigned closing date. All of that happened without our knowledge, she solved the problem for us, without causing us any more stress. Melanie is the best real estate agent that I have ever worked with and I will never work with a different agent as long as she works in the industry. I would recommend her to my friends, family, and anyone who wants an agent who will absolutely and always look out for the best interests of her clients.
