Success Stories

Working with Melene was a real joy. She sold the property quickly to a strong, appropriate buyer. She minimized extra work and details for me, making the transaction efficient. She did a great job balancing the needs and desires of both seller and buyer, all while ensuring that all details of the transaction were moving ahead and on track. In addition, on a personal level, she is very personable, friendly, ethical, and a great team member. Well recommended.

We met Melene at an open house for another property and quickly realized she would be a great person to find us the right house on Whidbey Island. Several months later the house we bought came on the market. We looked at it the next day, made an offer and had it accepted the next day. We closed escrow in less than 30 days. Melene took care of all the details and worked with the seller and the seller's agent to get us a deal everyone was happy with. Not only is she a great realtor with a warm personality and extensive knowledge, we now consider her a friend.

We had the pleasure of working with Melene on the sale of a property, and the purchase of a new home. She worked very hard to get us what we needed, and actually made the process fun. We highly recommend Melene for your real estate needs.

I am still in awe of Melene Thompson's relentless dedication to help us purchase our dream home on Whidbey Island. My husband and I met Melene on the phone when she promptly responded to our inquiry about a few Whidbey properties that we saw online. Although we had visited Seattle, Bellingham and the Port Townsend area many times, we were not familiar with Whidbey, and never considered living on an Island. Well a few minutes with Melene on the phone, changed our minds. She knows Whidbey like the back of her hand, and she educated us about the different towns, the climate, commutes, the trails, restaurants, etc. Most importantly, she was so incredibly quick to find answers to the multitude of questions we had about the various homes we found online. At that point she had no way of knowing if we were actually serious about moving to Whidbey, yet she delivered everything we asked. Well, we finally made the trip from out of state, and met Melene in person. We had 6 days in town, and Melene my husband and I were attached at the hip the whole time. The home that we came to see was not quite right, but Melene showed us others until we found THE ONE. It was very important for us to be present at the home inspection, and Melene was able to arrange it with an amazing inspector. Thanks to Melene's incredible work ethic and professional relationships we were able to find our home; get our offer accepted; have the home inspected; submit our inspection response; negotiate a fair price; and become homeowners, in 7 days! I cannot believe that you will find a more kind, hardworking, and efficient realtor on Whidbey. She has a vast network of contacts with gardners, movers, contractors, handymen, housekeepers (you name it) to make your move seamless and less daunting. Melene is a great person and we now consider her our friend for life. We recommend her highly, particularly for buyers transitioning from out of town, or state.

Melene is is hands down the most honest hardworking realtor I have ever met. We were incredibly lucky to have found her. She helped us negotiate a great price on our dream home and managed to sell our raw land in record time! I highly recommended her.

We could not have asked for a better person to help us through this. She was informative and was there when we needed her. She helped us get a mortgage. I cannot thank her enough.

Melene worked hard to help us get the house we wanted. When the inspection made it necessary to get bids from several different trades in order to negotiate the final price, her local knowledge and dedicated attention efficiently moved the process forward to a successful resolution.

I have already recommended Melene Thompson to several friends. We are impressed by her hard work and professionalism. She went beyond expectations in handling every detail of our home sale and purchase of the new one. She made the experience a delight. We consider her a trusted friend.

Melene is a wonder! She helped me buy and sell a property - she is always available to her clients, and goes the extra mile, tackling things so that I didn't have to stress. She also has a good sense about what her clients need - she is a matchmaker for people and properties!
