TESTIMONIALS
We could not have chosen a better realtor! Being new to Florida, Melissa’s knowledge about Ocala and the area were invaluable to us. Besides sharing her knowledge of the housing market, she was a great resource for what Ocala has to offer from restaurants to the arts and more. She was engaged in our search from the first time we met her. Before we came from Illinois to tour houses, she watched and sent us new listings she felt met our needs. She really listened and picked up on what we were looking for in a home. She was on top of everything from the beginning through our closing. Her friendly personality made the whole process so enjoyable. We highly recommend Melissa! - Morrie & Carol Cook
Melissa was fantastic! She came out and checked on the property the day after the hurricane and was very professional and responsive. We were out of town sellers so this assistance and communication was appreciated. She is a great agent! - Harrison Murphy
Melissa Townsend embodies the first 4 words in the name of the realty company she works with, "It's All About You...Real Estate" and (by her words and actions) uses those words as a business philosophy. I was tasked with selling a family home from 40 miles away and she helped to make the process so much easier.
Every time I had a question or needed help (such as finding a new yard guy or someone to do a last minute cleanup) she responded very quickly, often times within minutes.
We had multiple verbal offers the very first day the house went on the market and within the first few days we had a signed contract and several signed backup contracts. Many realtors don't want to take backup offers but Melissa went to the time and trouble to do so. Consequently, when the first contract "went south" we had another waiting and closed that one within 2 weeks.
Melissa worked very closely with my Sister-in-Law (who did a fantastic job of managing the rehab of the house) and gave her good insights as to the real estate market in Ocala and the neighborhood that the house is located in.
I could go on and on about how great a job Melissa did but will end by saying that I wholeheartedly and unequivocally recommend her to you. - Joel Johnson

We were referred to It's All About You by a trusted community member. Melissa came to our rescue, helping us secure a home in just a few days. Her professional expertise was instrumental in the timing of today's real estate climate. Thanks, Melissa! - Nancy Burke
Melissa goes above and beyond for her clients. We were making a big move from the Northeast to FL and Melissa was our lifeline. She took the time to get to know us, what we were looking for, and offered sage advice and perspective on the area and what would meet our needs - and wants! She fielded everything for us locally and provided excellent recommendations for services in the area. We could not have found our perfect home without her. I can’t recommend working with Melissa enough! - Elizabeth Amend Suchy
I love this agent. She is knowledgeable, kind, tenacious, and professional. She sold my home in five weeks. - Jackie Carter McCleaf
I've known Melissa in a professional capacity for a number of years, so when my husband and I were looking to purchase an investment property, she was an easy choice. She was all around an amazing fit for us. After assisting with finding the right property, she was immediately onboard helping with negotiations and contracts, she assisted with making sure we found an inspection company as well as an electrician. She ensured that our desired closing date was met. If an opportunity presents itself, we will absolutely entrust our future investments in the very capable hands of Melissa! - Endira Madraveren
Finding the right home in the right location at the right price is always a daunting task... I know better than anyone, my husband and I have bought and sold nearly two dozen properties in two different states. Melissa is hands down the best realtor we've ever worked with. Extremely knowledgeable about not only the Marion County area, but also home construction, taxes, real estate law and contracts and more.
Anytime we had a hiccup, she found a way to fix it. She has tremendous resources in her back pocket and not only uses them during the process, but is generous in sharing them after the sale. She is perceptive, intuitive, savvy and sweet. She is not a hard sell person, she quickly becomes your best friend and you are secure in knowing you're in good hands. She made us feel like we were her only clients and no matter how rough the water got, she was always upbeat and ready with a positive next step. - Tami Lankenau Jonnson

Melissa is the best! Professional and fun! We have bought and sold multiple properties with Melissa as our agent. Thank you for helping us make our dreams reality! - Alberto Comas
Our experience with Melissa went above and beyond our expectations. When looking to buy a house, we thought we’d be fine to do it ourselves. After contacting Melissa, we realized we would never have been able to do it without her! When viewing homes, it was like she knew everything: what school zone the home was currently in, local history, and anything you might want to know. All the homes she showed us were also relevant to what we were wanted. After selecting a home, she made the buying process soooo simple. I told my partner at one point that I don’t understand why everyone talks about buying a home as being such a stressful event. I recommend Melissa to anyone looking to buy a home. We will be utilizing her services again if we ever need a realtor. - Ashley Cuccurullo-Powell
Melissa is great to work with. We were purchasing remotely from the West Coast. Melissa walked us through the process and went above and beyond to work out all of the details. I would highly recommend Melissa when purchasing a home. - Laura Walker
