together your move

"We contacted Melanie about selling our house in University Heights after observing her great success in selling our neighbor’s house across the street. We were very fortunate to be able to leverage Melanie’s wealth of local experience and well-practiced marketing strategy as she supported us through getting the house ready to list and advised us expertly on selecting a marketing price and on choosing projects that would make the biggest impact on the house listing well. After we relocated out of state and the house was listed, she was diligent in following through to keep the house ready for showings and to coordinate access for the buyer’s inspection and preparation to close. With a toddler in the house, it was a huge relief to be able to complete our move before showings started, knowing that we were working with a consummate professional who would keep the process on the rails and would keep us informed. Ultimately, when we were matched with an excellent buyer and closed smoothly on schedule, we couldn’t have been happier with the end result! We would recommend Melanie and the Sweeney Group without hesitation to those looking to sell!"

"There are few things in life more critical and potentially stressful than moving your entire family to a new city. We were fortunate enough to be referred to Melanie and her team. From the introductory conversation to the time after closing, our family could not have been happier with the experience. Melanie has been instrumental in helping us secure a wonderful house in a lovely neighborhood. Melanie went above and beyond throughout the entire process. I have no hesitation in recommending her team to anyone looking for a realtor you can trust."

"People say, everybody should have their own physician, dentist, hair stylist, etc.... We would say that everybody needs their own real estate agent as well. And we are happy to say that we had one!

Two years ago, we bought our first family home, and Melanie was a great help and guide through the house buying process. She helped us to get a great house in a friendly and beautiful neighborhood.

When our lives took a turn, and we had to say goodbye to our home, not even for a second, we were in doubt who to call– Melanie!
Despite the house sales challenges, we could sleep well because she kept her finger on the pulse, and it all worked out!
If you ever need a real estate agent in the Cleveland area, call Melanie!"

"Melanie helped with our relocation to Cleveland. Our family is not native to Ohio; and so, we were unfamiliar with the area and anxious about our move. What could have been an overwhelming search for a home went extremely well because of Melanie’s extensive knowledge and connections in Shaker Heights. All the context we lacked about neighborhoods, schools, traffic and the local landscape, Melanie was able to provide. She is an amazing resource and also a consummate professional who is thoughtful at every stage of searching for and buying a home. I felt she understood all of our family members’ unique needs or “asks” in a home and was able to help us find the exact right place in a challenging market. I personally appreciated her team’s excellent organization and communication during the period from offer to closing. They ensured the process was smooth sailing. Would recommend her to anyone but especially healthcare workers new to the Cleveland area!"

"We recently purchased a home from out of state and had the pleasure of working with Melanie. Given our inability to visit the property in person, and the time constraints we had, Melanie went above and beyond by conducting a live walkthrough tour of the home. Her attention to detail, thoroughness, and clear communication made us feel confident and informed throughout the process. We are extremely happy with the home we purchased and could not have done it without the assistance of Melanie."

"Melanie Sweeney is a gem! As out-of-state, first-time home buyers, we felt like we had a trusted family friend helping us navigate the very challenging housing market. Professional expertise, integrity, and an intuitive ability to understand her clients’ needs - Melanie has it all. Melanie always had our best interests in mind and we ended up in a house and a neighborhood that couldn’t suit our family and lifestyle better. We will definitely work with Melanie if we need to buy or sell in the area in the future!"

"Melanie and her team made our first time home purchase and cross-country move very pleasant. They made sure we didn’t “settle” for just any home and gave realistic advice when needed. We love our new home and would definitely work with Melanie again!"

"Melanie was the consummate professional, helped us navigate a difficult market from the buyers’ perspective with objective analysis and nuanced appreciation of our concerns and aspirations. I am not sure we could have encountered a better representative than her for our journey."

"We used Melanie to sell our family home. We all appreciated her knowledge about the Shaker market, her attention to detail and advice. She was great to work with and made the difficult decision to sell much easier."

"Melanie was absolutely fabulous. We were first-time homebuyers buying from out of town. We only had one weekend in the area, and Melanie and her team worked together to find us the perfect house in that tight window. We had an offer accepted before flying home. The entire buying process was as close to stress free as I could imagine!"

"We worked with Melanie and her team on selling our home and buying a new one. Above all else, Melanie always worked in our best interest: she was patient, thoughtful and gave good advice. Her marketing strategy was incredibly sophisticated. Having bought and sold homes 10+ times, we were very happy with the results we got from working with Melanie. We would recommend her to anyone."

"Melanie Sweeney is a calming guide for first-time home buyers. She soothed our nerves with her quick responses, concise explanations, and preternatural patience. Her entire group skillfully navigated an ever-changing market during the pandemic to help us purchase an absolutely beautiful home. Thank you! Thank you!"
