Melina is the go to real estate agent on the island. She is very professional and knowledgeable about any and all of the listings there. I have worked with her many times to find rentals and sales and she has always been more than courteous and serious about addressing my needs. Would highly recommend her.

Melina was responsive to all of our questions and needs. She is knowledgeable about all aspects of buying and selling - very aware of market trends and an in-depth comprehensive understanding of the island market. From the very start to closing she was helpful and went beyond our expectations. She is involved within the community and helped us to understand all that was available to us in the sense of our new lifestyle here. She developed and published the Comprehensive Guide to Shelter Island . What a resource!!! You wont get better service then with her!

Worst customer service experience in my life. Can't believe she has somehow lied her way through the last 20 years in this business. I would give this 0 stars if I could. A complete waste of time and effort. RUN
