Sell your Melrose home properly.

Plan on 8 to 14 weeks from our first conversation to closing: preparation typically takes two to three weeks, and once an offer is accepted, inspection, appraisal, and the buyer's financing run six to eight weeks in Massachusetts. How quickly offers arrive depends on preparation and pricing more than the calendar — and with an estimated 400 homes changing hands in Melrose in a typical year, buyer traffic is steady.

As of mid-2026, municipal assessment records put the median Melrose residential value at $799K across 8,778 parcels. Assessed values lag the open market — a comparative market analysis pins down what your specific home would sell for today.

Commission is discussed and agreed in writing before anything is signed, with no upfront cost — you pay at closing, out of proceeds. In our first meeting I walk through exactly what that number covers, alongside the other selling costs like the Massachusetts transfer tax.

With a comparative market analysis built from recent nearby sales, adjusted for your street, lot, condition, and timing — delivered as a professional valuation within 24 hours of seeing the property. Melrose's spread between median ($799K) and average ($847K) assessed values means the right comparables matter more than any town-wide number.
