I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Melissa. She is, without exaggeration, one of the happiest, kindest, and most professional people I have ever met. From the very beginning, it was clear that she genuinely cares about people — not commissions. Melissa takes the time to truly listen, understand what you want, and guide you with honesty and integrity. She never pushes or rushes decisions and only recommends homes she truly believes will make you happy long-term. You can tell she loves what she does, and that passion shines through in every interaction. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who puts people first, communicates clearly, and treats your experience as if it were her own, I cannot recommend Melissa highly enough. Working with her is an absolute pleasure, and I would trust her completely with one of the biggest decisions of my life.

We worked with Shayda on multiple real estate transactions in 2024 and 2025, beginning with the fast-moving purchase of our first home. From the moment we met her, she brought exceptional market expertise, strategic guidance, and an impressive level of responsiveness. In a highly competitive situation with a very tight turnaround, she coordinated seamlessly with her team, gathered crucial insights from the selling agent, and crafted a winning offer that allowed us to secure our home. Her professionalism, communication, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and confidence-inspiring. Our second set of transactions - selling our first home while making a contingent offer on a new one during a challenging 2025 spring market was far more complex, and Shayda truly went above and beyond. Despite difficult market conditions and a stressful 30-day contingency window, she worked tirelessly, remained deeply communicative, incorporated our feedback, and used every tool at her disposal to help us reach a successful outcome. She represented us as both buyers and sellers with unwavering dedication, strong advocacy, and genuine care for our goals. We confidently recommend Shayda to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, highly committed real estate agent in the Portland metro area.

We worked with Jeremy at Lovejoy for both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our previous home. On both fronts he was a great professional ally and helped us navigate everything to perfection. On the buying side he went out with us countless times to dozens of properties until we found our perfect match. He even helped us navigate a tricky situation where we had to cancel a deal due to a finding on inspection. On the selling side he was great with the photos, the listing, and hosting tons of open houses until we found a buyer. It was a tough market and he helped us negotiate the right deal we were happy with. Highly recommended!

We couldn't be happier! Working with the amazing Shayda was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Her professionalism, extensive market knowledge, and excellent rapport with listing agents were crucial in helping us secure a home we loved, even amid a highly competitive bidding war. She made the entire process seamless, connecting us with a trusted lender who had us approved within hours. When an issue arose with the home’s siding, Shayda skillfully negotiated with the sellers and secured a substantial credit, exceeding our expectations. Her strategic insight ensured that every step was handled with care and yield the best results (for us). The home ultimately appraised above our purchase price, underscoring her expertise and negotiation strength. We’re thrilled with the outcome and deeply appreciative of Shayda’s integrity, professionalism, and warmth throughout the journey. She’s an exceptional agent and an absolute pleasure to work with.
