Coldwell Banker Uptown Realty

"Melissa did a fabulous job throughout the entire process. From the beginning of our home shopping, listening to our needs and wants, she found the right home for us. She was just a delight to be around; cheerful, professional and an all around good person! Highly recommend her."

"THANK YOU to Lynn Bedford and Wendy Buck for the successful (and expeditious!) sale of our home in Port Angeles. We appreciated how communicative they were, and how they helped us through the challenges of a complex process. We had worked with Lynn years prior, when purchasing the home with a VA loan, and wouldn't hesitate to work with her again, or recommend her and Wendy as agents."

"We went through Zillow to express interest in seeing a house for sale. We were randomly assigned Joyce Underwood as our real estate agent. We expected that as our buyer’s agent, that Joyce would be more on our side with making recommendations and obtaining a good price with the seller. In our interactions it seemed that she was distant and only did what was minimally needed. We were first-time buyers in Washington state and our kids who were co-buyers with us were buying their very first home. Joyce didn’t make much of an attempt to get to know us and our needs. The home we purchased wound up needing $30,000 in repairs once we started getting the inspection repairs done. We felt Joyce could have informed us of potential problems to look closer at based on her or Coldwell’s experience with buying/selling homes in the local area. Follow-up to Joyce Underwood's response to the above review: The original inspection estimate was only $18,000 and we used that to negotiate a lower price on the home. Turns out the cost was $30,000. For example, under the rolled roof covering was nothing but insulation, no sheathing! As a realtor in that area for many years, Joyce could have shared with us the potential problems with older homes. We'd have very much appreciated Joyce's insights so we could have directed the inspector to investigate more thoroughly. Then we could have negotiated an even lower price for the home. Joyce did submit offers for us, but we had to go through several rounds of edits before she got it correct."

"We have had the good fortune to work with Melissa Clawson both on the buying and selling of our home. She is excellent. Melissa was easy to reach, informative, knowledgeable, patient and cheerful. If we ever moved back to the area, we wouldn't hesitate to contact Melissa."

"I’m not sure how much room I have to write but I could use it all to recount the unreachable standard Melissa has set in our lives. To say she went above and beyond the call of duty would a disservice. She became an honorary member of the family. Her professionalism, patience, persistence and warm personality made her the gold standard as far as we are concerned. She helped us navigate an incredibly challenging and drawn out purchase and her grace never wavered. I will recommend her to anyone interested in properties around the Olympic Peninsula."
