"Melissa is the most hard working and practical real estate agents I have ever worked with! My wife and I were considering moving to the suburbs and at first we thought we wanted a forever home, then renting a smaller apartment, before finally settling on buying a starter home. We must have looked at more than three dozen houses while changing our minds so frequently it started to annoy ourselves. Throughout it all Melissa was unflappably upbeat, always happy to refocus her efforts anytime we changed our mind. And she kept such detailed notes of all our visits, not just about the house but our thoughts on various aspects. It might sound silly but after awhile it all starts to blur and those notes were the only way we could keep it all straight. Nobody will work harder to help you find what you're looking for than Melissa."

"My boyfriend and I had the most enjoyable time searching for our first home with Melissa. We were stuck on new construction and Melissa threw one out at us and said you know let’s just go take a look at this one, I think it’s going to be good. So we were open to an occupied home, went and looked, fell in love! There was an offer in already and Melissa could tell the moment we walked in this was our home, she saw the spark! She did everything imaginable and went above and beyond and today, were in that same home to make it our own! To say working with Melissa was an amazing experience is an understatement. She new exactly what we were looking for, was there every step of the way with her dedication, professionalism and hard work and we appreciate her getting us into our dream home! Make your move with Melissa! "

"Endless energy is another way of saying Melissa I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a new home. Melissa was always cheerful and had endless energy, she learned what kind of things I was looking for and kept trying to fill all my expectations in the places she found for me. I have a bad back and had a hard time keeping up with her, she was always checking to make sure I was doing OK and go at a pace comfortable for me. I couldn't have asked for a better person to help me find a new home."

"I would highly recommend LA Valle Luxury Real Estate to anyone. It was a wonderful experience. But I am really writing this because I feel Melissa deserves some recognition for all she's done for us in the short time we've known her. She guided us through the purchase of our first home with ease. Her passion for real-estate and persistent attitude got us exactly what we we're looking for. A beautiful raised ranch on a lake! It still feels unreal after one year in my dream home. We're soo greatful for Melissa to this day. You're the best at what you do. Thanks again. ???"

"For all of your real estate needs within the Chicagoland area, ask Melissa! I have tried apartment hunting in Chicago before and I don’t know what I did before finding Melissa. I am an extremely picky person with a tight budget but Melissa pulled off what I thought was almost impossible! She was very professional, organized, reliable, and timely managed. Melissa gave me her honest opinions and helped me find my “dream home” within my budget. I had specific “needs” that I wasn’t willing to budge on and Melissa made it happen. After sending just a few listings, she truly was able to understand types of properties I liked and disliked— so we didn’t waste any time. Melissa is also very flexible and accommodating to my busy schedule. Next time I am looking in the Chicagoland area, I will definitely be using Melissa La Valle!"
