"We cannot recommend Melissa Colabella highly enough. She has been our trusted realtor through two major milestones—first in 2016 when we bought our home in Tarrytown, NY, and again in 2025 when we sold that home and purchased our dream house in Briarcliff Manor. There’s a reason we went back to her: she is simply exceptional at what she does.
Melissa truly works for her clients. At every step, it was clear that our best interest was her top priority. Every decision she guided us through kept us at the center—always asking how this benefits us. What we appreciate most is that she never tries to sell the most expensive house, but the right house. That difference is what sets her apart from just any realtor and places her firmly in the category of outstanding.
She is meticulous, diligent, incredibly responsive, and communicates clearly and consistently. She helped us navigate the complex process of both buying and selling with calm, confidence, and strategic precision. Melissa drew up a thoughtful, data-driven strategy for us—and then put it into action flawlessly. We sold our home for over asking, and we bought our new home in a highly competitive market not by being the highest bidder, but by using a smart, nuanced approach that combined timing, positioning, and presentation. Her strategy worked.
Her deep knowledge of the local market—Chappaqua, Briarcliff Manor, Tarrytown, Croton, the Rivertowns, and beyond—was invaluable. She gave us rich context on each area, helped us think through trade-offs, did the math to assess value, and made sure we were always a step ahead in a fast-moving market. She understands how this region operates and what strategies are needed to get ahead.
If you're looking for a realtor who combines deep expertise, integrity, and a client-first mindset, Melissa is the one. We are beyond grateful to have had her by our side through this journey—both in 2016 and again in 2025."
