Client Reviews

Having met with several agents during a search that spanned the last couple of years, it was easy to see that Melanie Tolan went above and beyond all the others. We knew we could count on the best advice throughout the whole process. In fact, one of the key reasons we happily settled on buying in Pelham, was thanks to our experience with Melanie and the trust we had in her abilities.

Several months ago, we reached out to Meridian Realty Consultants for assistance in finding a home for our family. What we found was a family acting on our behalf - my wife and I liked that about the agency, that it acted like a small family. Joe explained that she and her fellow agents work as a team and introduced us all around. We quickly realized that their team was our team. Together, we found a lovely old home with the perfect small oddities, cracks, quirks and history for us. It was the first house we visited and we fell in love with it. “Team MRC” were remarkable through the process that followed - flexible in their schedules, quick in their answers, tough in negotiating for us, and kind in their handholding. I would unreservedly and enthusiastically recommend Joan, Melanie and everyone at Meridian Realty Consultants to anyone wanting to buy or sell in Pelham.

Joe Solimine’s vast experience was invaluable to us - especially when we were looking for objective advice. We lead hectic lives and were grateful to have Joe and the team available to be there for us the whole way through. Just knowing that Joan or a member of the team would be there if something came up was very reassuring. Joe is a lovely person and fostered a friendly rapport with the sellers and their agent-making the process much more pleasant. She was unfailingly responsive to our many questions and needs. We felt 100% confident that we were putting our best foot forward with Joan and the team at our side.

We recently moved to Pelham from New York City and Joe Solimine was so helpful and held our hands every step of the way. We were first time homebuyers and had a litany of questions – ALL of which Joe responded to graciously and promptly. He has knowledge of the neighborhoods, homes and people in Pelham that you can only get by having lived in the town for many years. We truly appreciated that Joe took the time to get to know what was most important to us and then tailored our home search accordingly.

Thank you for making our whole buy/sell real estate experience such a pleasure. From beginning to end we felt that we were in excellent hands working with Melanie and the MRC team. Melanie is a consummate professional; at every turn she had pertinent and thoughtful insight to offer. We particularly valued her equilibrium and sound advice in the moments of angst that accompany any real estate transaction.

10’s across the board for Melissa! We were so happy with our experience– Melissa was always professional, available and never rushed in her approach. She went the extra step at every turn and her exceptional organizational skills allowed for productive time spent. Melissa’s great advice and insight coupled with her warm and friendly style inspired such trust in our renters that a complicated house showing plan was completed with ease. Our situation was unique in that it was relocation – a process Melissa navigated on our behalf in the most astute manner. Her legal background proved invaluable each step of the way. We felt so confident with the entire MRC team giving input into each strategic decision we made and we could not be happier. Thank you so very much, Melissa.

Sandra is just incredible. She is so dedicated! She dropped by my house multiple times to pick things up or drop things off, to make things easier for me. She was available everyday if I needed her. She knew the market well; we successfully rented our unit, at a competitive price, quickly. We had more than one offer, and she helped us navigate choosing the right tenant. Her dedication, knowledge, courtesy, and professionalism are just outstanding. We couldn't be happier. We will definitely be recommending Sandra to our friends! We feel very lucky to have worked with her.
