What do Clients Say?

Alison could not have been a better choice as our buying agent. We had little knowledge of the Bluffton area but because of her local knowledge we felt at home very quickly. She showed us quite a few properties but kept it on point to our preferences. All the while Alison maintained a pleasant personality and a great sense of humor making it a stress-free experience. After finding a property that was a great fit for us the process of making the purchase went very smoothly with Alison's expert advise. Her follow-up right through the closing and beyond has been very comforting to us. Wouldn't think of using anyone else!

Alison Melton is the best informed and most professional real estate agent I have ever met, let alone worked with. Her initial approach is to get to know her client and then structure a process to efficiently meet her client's needs in a totally informed manner - with absolutely zero sales pressure. She is an interesting conversationalist, well versed in current events internationally as well as locally. Alison is a person I would like to know as a friend - a principled person of high integrity and one who would be there for you in time of need. It has been my pleasure to get to know her and certainly in matters of real estate in the Bluffton area, in my opinion, one could do no better.

Alison is an expert realtor who knows how list sell and also importantly how to manage the people. Alison sold our home in 5 days and at above asking price. Alison's marketing achieved multiple offers. Alison is one of the best agents I gave dealt with in over 40 years of buying and selling. I highly recommend Alison to a seller who wants the job done well and at the best price possible.

Alison is everything that you would hope for in a realtor, and then so much more. Every step of the way, which was indeed rocky at several points, she gave it her all in not only making us feel comfortable, but in negotiating and getting the best possible outcome for us (as the sellers in our case). She shows up knowledgeable, compassionate, and is pretty much unflappable. She rose to every challenge, obstacle, and figured out a way to deal with it and make it work. She definitely thinks outside of the box. She is a go to and get it done professional. Highly highly recommend Alison! She does not disappoint in any way.
