Client Testimonials for Cleveland area broker melanie Bowen

  • Well, where does one start... We met Melanie at an open house she was managing. We were going to these events with 2 objectives in mind - to get an idea of how our home in High Point would stack up against others on the market, and to look for a compatible professional to help us sell our home when the time came. This was MONTHS before we actually were planning to move. During that first conversation Melanie was pleasant and very informative, giving of her time and expertise even though we were certainly not in the "hot prospect" category.

    Roger & Susan Haines

  • My partner and I had a very positive experience working with Melanie Bowen. She was well-versed in the area and had a grasp of our needs immediately. She listened closely to our wish list and understood the needs of a family with children. She found us our dream home.

    NL, Rocky River

  • Our experience buying & selling with Melanie Bowen was impressive! She exceeded every expectation and we have bought and sold many homes in various parts of the country before relocation to the Westside of Cleveland. This realtor goes above and beyond to satisfy her customers and provides superb customer service. I highly recommend Melanie Bowen.

    AC, Avon Lake

    JL Avon Lake Ohio

  • As first time buyers, Melanie, you helped us feel confident and eased our worries and especially concerns about the safety of our children and finding good schools. And thanks for listening; you are part broker, part psychologist. We will use you again, hopefully not for some time.
