This is where I shine! It is my goal to ensure that you know what’s going on with your transaction at all times; therefore, the communication from me and my team is frequent and clear.

Dedication

I see myself as a boutique operation with an emphasis on personalized service, tailored to the individual. I find myself deeply invested in the goals of my clients, I care as much as you do about your transaction.

I will show you the comps , we’ll talk about the best offer price, and I’ll share my massive network of inspectors, contractors, and vendors so we can make sure you’re fully satisfied with the condition of your home. My priority is your happiness and peace of mind!

You want to sell for top dollar, quickly, and on a timeline that works for you, right? I will create a plan to showcase your property in the best possible light, priced correctly, and marketed in a strategic way that most other realtors don’t do. You are paying for a service, don’t settle for the bare minimum effort.

 

Living it up in The greater Sacramento region

First off, I love the Sacramento area. I moved here from southern California in 1992 and never looked back. The greater Sacramento region is home to some fantastic neighborhoods and plenty to do. We have everything you could possibly want, great schools, state-of-the-art entertainment venues, Sacramento International Airport, plus we are surrounded by multiple lakes, rivers, hiking trails, and wine country!

Feel like you need to get away? You can be in the snow in 2 hours, or at the beach in 90 minutes. Feeling extra adventurous? You could ski and surf in one day!

 What Clients Are Saying

Mel came into my house buying situation calm and collected even knowing I had a very tight timeline. He was responsive and gave me very honest expectations. I know if it hadn’t been for Mel’s tenacity and negotiation skills I wouldn’t have been in my home in time!

I sold my home in Carmichael in November and had the pleasure to work with Mel James...he made a stressful and difficult process as seamless as it could be.
Mel really listened, cares passionately about his job, and provides exceptional service. His calming manner helped me through that trying process. He went above and beyond the usual level of service that I’ve experienced from realtors in the past. I recommended Mel James to family members because of the trust and relationship he built and they have received the same level of service and excellence. You won’t regret choosing to work with Mel.

This was the quickest transaction I have ever seen. Mel was up front and attentive to every question I had. We closed the deal in less than a month. I would recommend Mel to friends and family and will always look to him first in future transactions.
