We worked with Melina selling our home and all I can say is no regrets. She worked with us start to finish, was professional, direct and honest. We followed her advice the whole time and got well over asking (or expected) and couldnt imagine it being smoother or faster then it was. Thanks Melina you are the best. 10/10 will recommend.

Melina was with us for months while we prepped our house for sale, got it listed, and then sold. I can't imagine using any other realtor. It was our first time selling a house and there were a lot of moving parts (with renovations/repairs and a cross country move in the middle of things), but Melina guided and supported us every step of the way. I appreciate doing business with someone who is honest, realistic, and doesn't over-promise. I could tell Melina was all of those things from the first time we met with her and we trusted her completely from that moment on. Our sale was complicated, but

Melina Tomson is the best realtor a buyer could want in this difficult real estate market. Melina is very knowledgeable about houses and really advocates for her clients. We valued her input and opinion and cannot imagine having anyone better or more qualified. We just relocated to Salem from the South and Melina has also given us great referrals for services and contractors in town. Thanks Melina and thanks Tomson Burnham!

There are not enough positive words in the English language to describe this company. From start to finish we were completely at ease with our transaction. Melina delivered EVERYTHING she said she would do for us and always kept me up-to-date each step of the way. If you want to sell, purchase or both Tomson Burnham should be your very first call.
