This summer, my partner and I bought our first condo, and Melissa was incredible throughout the entire process. Prior to working with Melissa, we were pretty intimidated by the whole process, but she guided us through everything painlessly! Any questions or concerns we had were promptly answered, and we appreciated the guidance with finding a mortgage broker and a lawyer for closing. From the beginning to the very end, we felt very supported by Melissa, and were so thankful for all of her help. We would highly recommend Melissa and Foundation Realty Group to anyone looking to buy a home!

I cannot say enough good things about working with Melissa Deland and Foundation Realty Group. Melissa spent a lot of time with me to get to know what I was looking for, what price range I was comfortable with, and what my must-have list included. As a first-time home buyer, I had a lot of anxiety and questions. She was always available to talk and provided helpful information to inform my decisions. In my search, I had a few unusual circumstances arise (one seller backed out late in the process, another was totally inflexible on a long list of inspection items, and a home was not up to code) and Melissa helped me navigate them without feeling any pressure and with a real sense of advocacy.

When my wife and I started looking for property, we were unsure of what exactly we were looking for. Melissa was patient and honest as we looked at a variety of locations - from fixer-uppers to beautiful homes. We finally found a beautiful four bedroom house that we fell in love with immediately. Melissa worked her magic to get us in there as soon as possible to walk through and put in an offer. As one of the most high anxiety decision making processes, Melissa lent her knowledge and expertise to guide us through the process and help us make the house we loved our home. It was truly a pleasure working with Melissa and she was always available to calm any nerves or last minutes worries we had. We have already recommended Melissa to several friends, business associates, and family members looking for property. She is dedicated and passionate about her work and that really showed through. We couldn't have found our home without her!

Melissa is amazing. As a first time buyer, I originally started looking for property just to see what was on the market. Melissa was extremely helpful explaining the current real estate landscape in Boston and the surrounding areas. She was efficient setting me up with listings within hours of talking to her. I was able to email her with interest in or questions about different properties, and she got right back to me and contacted the other sellers and realtors extremely quickly to answer any questions she didn't have the answers to. She is very knowledgeable about the real estate market and walked me through all the different aspects of the process that I was uncertain about. When I found the property of my dreams, which due to Melissa's help was very quickly, she made the process incredibly easy and stress free. I had always been told buying a home was a painstaking process, but Melissa made it painless. She was always ten minutes early to appointments and would meet me wherever I was to make things go as easily for me as possible. I was definitely a client with a lot of questions, and Melissa answered each one with patience and an astute knowledge of her business. I couldn't be happier with Melissa's service and expertise and always felt that I was in more-than-capable hands. I would recommend her in a second to anyone looking who is thinking about or ready to buy property. She is truly the best.

I began working with Melissa in 2012 when I decided to buy my first home. From the time I met Melissa through today, she has treated me not only as her client, but as a friend and has never stopped being a source of support and guidance. Melissa attended every open house with me and walked me through the offer process and continuously supported me as I was out bid on several homes. While owning a home, Melissa has been a sounding board on home projects and tradesmen in the area. Working with Melissa is truly a unique experience and I recommend her to anyone who is looking for advice or help in the home buying/selling process.

I am an experienced buyer and seller, and I have to say that working with Melissa Deland was a sincere pleasure. For our first purchase with Melissa, it was the easiest string of viewings that we have ever had thanks to her efforts! I so appreciated the fact that she completely understood what we were looking for and that she tailored the viewings accordingly. For our second purchase with Melissa, the process was equally smooth and enjoyable. I can speak from experience in not only the Boston market, but internationally as well.... Melissa gets high marks.
Nicole Prairie
Buying a house or condo is a very stressful process, but working with Melissa Deland took that stress away. She was always available to attend showings of new houses or condos, and spent full days with us while we attended open houses. Melissa was with us every step of the way, and we could not have been happier with the result. I since have suggested that family and friends use Melissa when selling or buying a new home or condo, and plan to use her again with our next move - whenever that might be!

Melissa Deland was so helpful with the purchase of our first house. She was there for us every step of the way, explaining the process, getting answers to our questions, and always looking out for our best interests.

Melissa brings passion and persistence to real estate. She went the extra mile to make sure that we were well educated about the real estate market and the home buying process, and she always advocated for our interests.
Ingrid Ganske
I can't speak highly enough of Melissa. She helped us buy and sell our first home, then subsequently buy and move across town. I think her background as a two varsity sport collegiate athlete says it all -- she has great sportsmanship and a winning attitude. With her help we got a great deal on our purchase, and an even more tremendous deal on the resale. Throughout the process, she made everything very easy and enjoyable for us. I love my house but would move all over again just to have Melissa be our agent again! Thank you so much Melissa!
