EXCELLENT Based on 136 reviews Alice Elkin2025-08-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Melissa was fantastic! We chose the limited service flat fee option, offered a 2.5% buyer’s commission (in retrospect, I think a 3% commission would have created even more traction), and saved over $19,000. We paid Modern Way for the basic service, a lock box, and the open house upgrade. We paid for professional photographers (highly recommended). Melissa made the process very easy. She responded to our questions and promptly posted our listing and updates online on dates requested. And it was nice knowing that for an additional fee ($500 to $600 as compared to the 3% industry standard), Melissa would convert her services to a full services seller’s agent. We would highly recommend Melissa and Modern Way Realty for any Michigan-based homeowner willing to take an active role in the sale of their home.

Hired my own real estate photographer (less than $500) and created listing from previous listing that can usually be found on line. Saved ALOT of money! Process was smooth and Broker was helpful along the way. Very clear with instructions and responsive. Diane2025-07-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Ben Hirshberg2025-07-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very happy to have found modern way realty. I had an excellent experience selling my home with them and will use modern way in the future. This was my 6th home transaction and first time timing using a flat fee realtor. Melissa was just as on top of the sale of the home as any other full priced realtor for a fraction of the cost. Her communication was very timely and her experience with negotiating was much appreciated. At the end of the sale I felt like I was the one getting the bargain.

EXCELLENT Based on 73 reviews Al Bobadilla2022-09-15Verified This Professional Broker Melissa is AWESOME..!!! she Saved me at Least $10,000.00 in Commission and Inspection repair costs.!! i Cannot say enough great things about her, i work in Chemistry/ Science. i thought i could sell my house on My Own.!! Wrong.!! if You don't work in the Real estate business there is a Lot more to it than you would expect. But you do NOT need a 3% Real estate agent to Sell your house, did you know the Seller is Normally required to Pay BOTH the Buyer's AND Seller's agent fees..?? but with This Broker - Melissa You only pay her a FLAT fee, (you still have to pay the buyers agent fee) but if you hire Melissa you are saving 50% of commission Fees, and for my $293K house that was about $9,000.00..!!!! You DON'T need TWO Agents showing Your house, it's up to You. Save money and hire Modern Way Realty..!! this is NOT a fake review for evidence ask Melissa about 312 West Sunnybrook, Royal Oak.

This is our first time to sell a house and her flat fee service is great! We highly recommend her service. mshan32020-07-18Verified Melissa went above and beyond during the home selling process. She was very professional and knowledgeable and helped my mom and I negotiate during a very difficult sale. Even though we opted for a flat fee listing through her company, we felt we received all the tools needed to successfully sell my mom's home. Melissa, thanks again for being such a great advocate, while remaining professional (with a not so professional buyer's agent), and helping my mom during this difficult time. Your expertise, responsiveness, and strong negotiation skills were greatly appreciated. finney4362020-03-27Verified Mellisa @ Modern Way Realty is the best! She helped us save over $10,000 when we sold our house!!
