About Me
Passionate about helping Buyers find the house they want, Melissa draws on her own experiences with real estate agents. She listens to her clients and asks the right questions to shorten the time a Buyer spends looking at houses.
Testimonials
"We recently sold and purchased a new home and we were lucky enough to find Melissa as our real estate agent to help us in these transactions. We needed to sell our home quickly and she gave us direction on what we needed to do to make this happen. In turn, our home sold two weeks after being listed even before it made it to the advertising magazines! We could not have been more pleased with how professional and reliable Melissa was during the process. She went above and beyond her duties to make sure the listing and closing went smoothly. We will not hesitate to call Melissa the next time we sell or purchase a home. She guided us through this somewhat stressful process and made us feel confident that everything was being handled in a timely and professional way."

"Earlier this year, we sold our home in Snellville and purchased one in Covingtonto be closer to our daughter and to down-size. During this hectic time, we experienced the worst and the best realtors have to offer, with Melissa being the best! Melissa handled the purchase of our home in Covington, ehibiting in-depth knowledge and professionalism in every phase from locating, contract offer, closing, etc. In addition, she offered discreet advice on our property in Snellville that without question made the selling go smoother as we had a realtor not doing his job! I would recommend Melissa to anyone wanting to buy/sell a home without hesitation!"

1st - You DO NEED another Real Estate Agent or REALTOR involved to protect YOU! Don't EVER assume the Seller/Agent is going to look after your interests. You have a right to get your own representation!

You need someone to pull comparables to make sure you are getting the best price on that property so that you aren't being bilked out of hundreds or thousands of dollars. PLEASE call a REALTOR to represent you!! - Mon Jun 23 2008, 18:48

One BIG question is - Have you ever used your VA allotment before, if so have you paid it off?

I agree with Cassandra - there are many lenders who will tell you different things. I know one with a Broker in Covington, GA who knows about VA because he closed a VA loan for one of my clients. He's ethical, very thorough and very personable... Ameritage Financial Services, Inc. ask for Paul - 678) 654-3760. - Mon Jun 23 2008, 18:42
Wilsonia,

I don't know if you ever found the Lender you were looking for, but here's a good one in the Covington, GA area: Ameritage Financial Services - Paul Griggs, Loan Officer (yes he's my husband and he's one of the best - I send my clients to speak to him along with 2 other loan officers at different companies) 678-654-3760 Their website is http://www.ameritagefinancialservices.com

Another good Loan Officer is Randy Brennan with SunTrust Mortgage. If you will go to my website - http://melissagriggs.yourkwagent.com there is a link to Randy under the Mortgage Provider button.

Good luck and I hope you found a good Lender! - Wed May 7 2008, 10:32

The original list date was November 16, 2007 - withdrawn on April 16, 2008. Re-listed as a foreclosure and is now under contract - off market 5/16/2008 with a projected close date of June 30, 2008.

I hope this helps! - Mon Jun 23 2008, 18:37
