Success Stories

Talk about above and beyond! Melene was so supportive and proactive in our house hunting. Communication was exactly what we needed and wanted. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and to collaborate again.

Melene is one of the kindest people we’ve worked with, and she was incredibly giving with her time and attention during our long purchase process. She hung in there throughout and offered encouragement and support all along the way. Melene listened to and respected our desires for what we wanted in a home and what our limitations were, which was especially important to us. She supported our whole family during our search, even letting our young son serve as an “assistant” when opening up doors. We love our new home and are so grateful for Melene and her team!

If it hadn't been for our angel of an agent, what could have been a nightmare was a breeze. Thanks to her industry and Facetime, we never even went out there, and she emptied the house, handled repairs, shipped things all over creation and closed the deal. Amazing.

Melene is by far the BEST realtor I’ve worked with! She really cares about you and is with you every step of the way. She goes above and beyond to give you the easiest and most stress-free experience. Highly recommend!

Very diligent and committed, insightful, delightful, highly intelligent!!

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.

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 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.
