Melina Tomson is one of the MOST organized and efficient women I have EVER met. Melina found us our perfect home very quickly. She honed in on EXACTLY what we were seeking in a home and intimately knows the Salem and greater Salem area. We only viewed a handful of homes, but those she did show us were VERY similar. Then she showed us our perfect home! We live just down the street from her now. Melina is a trustworthy and strait-forward business woman. I can't recommend her more highly. Sincerely, Dana Campbell, Salem, OR

I initally chose Melina because of her very comprehensive website and her obvious knowledge of the Salem area. Moving from out of state, we really needed an expert, and Melina is just that. She is NOT the kind of Realtor who just unlocks a door and tries to sell a home...she gives ALL the information she can to help make the best decision possible. She is very well connected in the community and she has great recommendations for contractors, lenders, home inspectors, etc. She masterfully waded through a complicated short sale, and she was always very honest and candid about every aspect of the transaction. She immediately returned phone calls, emails, and texts and she went WAY beyond our expectations. She is by FAR the BEST real estate agent we have ever had. She is very pleasant and upbeat and a joy to work with.

We needed a house for family members that were moving from California. We were on a strict budget, with a need of a 4+ bedroom house. She delivered. With her help we were able to purchase a 5 bedroom house that met our budget and the needs of our family members. She spent over 2 months with us in this endeavor and we can't say enough about her patience in seeing this through.

Tomson Burnham made a cross-country move and absolute dream for our family! From the 1st visit to the Salem area, Melina had our wants and needs identified and continually updated us on what was available. When an offer that we made fell through with the seller, Melina rapidly sought out alternative properties for us and found our dream home. From the point of offer/counter-offer, financing, title search and service to closing she spent countless hours making sure that we were informed and assisted the entire time. As this is the 5th home that we've purchases, I can state honestly that she is the BEST!
