Testimonials

Melanie Cantwell proved to be very attentive to the needs of our family, consisting of 5 sibling owners, throughout the process of selling our house. She fielded all our questions directly, or after consulting with her resources, very responsively. She offered great input on selling points of the house and market value, as well as references. I can personally say I only heard enthusiastic praise by word of mouth from previous clients, along with helpful contractor referrals for any work to be done on the house in preparation of going on the market. Melanie executed a well-developed marketing plan, and worked tirelessly and patiently with our family, especially ones not technically inclined, which eased the flow of the documentation process. She assisted in our informed, cohesive family communications utilizing modern technologies most of us had to learn and the final result unfolded as t…

My realtor, Melanie Cantwell of the Long and Foster College Park office is outstanding and I definitely recommend her to everyone. I wish that I could give her a 100 plus star rating for her excellent efforts all around!

Among other super helpful contacts. Melanie was not just my realtor for local area condo sale but also helped me purchase my home and also sold my parents home in the area in great timing and we were all extremely satisfied. Given I have a full time and very active job, she made every step of the process whether it was my home sale or purchase be easier, clear and transparent. I appreciated all of her tremendous experience, strong work ethic, responsiveness, and advice in the entire process. She is great at relationships, experience, advice respectful of her clients wishes and also an advocate for her clients. I wholeheartedly recommend Melanie as a realtor due to the outstanding sales/ purchase that she helped me and my family with.

I recently sold my home in Greenbelt, Maryland, and I’m so grateful I had Melanie Cantwell as my agent. We met together a few months before I planned to sell; I gave her my ideal closing date and we discussed what kind of things should be done in advance to get the most money from the sale—but only those things that were within my means. Melanie knew exactly how long all the steps in the process would take and she set up a detailed timeline for when we would make repairs, have it cleaned, photographed, “coming soon”, open house, listing, accepting offers, closing, etc. I had a lot going on in my life and I was really maxed out personally, and Melanie just walked me through the entire process. I know she did so much work behind the scenes to make the process run smoothly and minimize the stress on me. I haven’t sold many houses, but I can’t imagine this is common and I think Melanie is ex…

I recently sold my home in Greenbelt, Maryland, and I’m so grateful I had Melanie Cantwell as my agent. We met together a few months before I planned to sell; I gave her my ideal closing date and we discussed what kind of things should be done in advance to get the most money from the sale—but only those things that were within my means. Melanie knew exactly how long all the steps in the process would take and she set up a detailed timeline for when we would make repairs, have it cleaned, photographed, “coming soon”, open house, listing, accepting offers, closing, etc. I had a lot going on in my life and I was really maxed out personally, and Melanie just walked me through the entire process. I know she did so much work behind the scenes to make the process run smoothly and minimize the stress on me. I haven’t sold many houses, but I can’t imagine this is common and I think Melanie is exceptional at what she does. She made everything so easy for me and was always there with her literal toolbox, ready to roll up her sleeves to help me change lightbulbs, negotiate with the buyers’ agent, or chase down the ridiculous plumbing service that gave me a major runaround. My house had multiple offers within three days, went under contract and all the way to closing in the exact timeline Melanie proposed AND we sold at the listing price! The appraisal also matched the listing price. I can unreservedly recommend Melanie Cantwell as a real estate agent. She is truly excellent at what she does and also just at being an amazing person. I have a feeling the next time I go to buy or sell a home outside of Maryland, I’m not going to find another realtor who can come close to how great Melanie is.
