Melinda was a great broker, working quickly and effectively to show my roommate and me apartments within our price range. She was always available through email and text. Thanks!
Melinda was an invauluable resource during my apartment search. She was efficient, dependable and honest. I would recommend her to anyone moving to NYC.
Melinda was the best real estate broker I've ever dealt with. She was friendly, easy to talk to, and honest. She showed us an apartment and told us exactly what to expect, not sugarcoating it for a second like almost all brokers will do in order to get a sale. It's Manhattan, so lots of space for an affordable price is generally more of a dream than a reality. We went in to the showing with rational expectations and found that we really enjoyed the space, signing the lease soon after.
All of our interactions with Melinda were easy and pain free. She made the entire process quick and simple, which we really appreciated. If you're looking for an apartment in NYC, use Melinda as your real estate broker! She's awesome!
Melinda was an amazing help! She checked in with me every day to see what my status was. She connected me with a roommate when I found myself without one. She truly went above and beyond in every way to find the perfect apartment for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an honest and hard working broker. She is personable and fair and truly wants to find what you are looking for. She is committed to your vision. I don't have any complaints!
Finding an apartment in NYC is no easy task and Meilnda managed to make it a lot less stressful. She was honest about apartments that weren't worth my time, listened to want I wanted, had many listings to show me when we met, researched listings I sent her, provided me with a list of things for rental applications so when I found my place (in only 2 short days) I was able to apply right away. For seamless rental process call Melinda ASAP.
After spending a couple days in Manhattan trying to find a place for my son on my own, I discovered quickly that I was getting nowhere fast! Thankfully, I found Melinda Oliveira. Melinda returned my first call almost immediately, listened carefully to what I was looking for, knew the appropriate questions to ask, and within 3 hours I was out looking at several units with her. She was friendly, professional, attentive, and worked diligently on our behalf to get the apartment that we decided upon. She was always responsive when we called or emailed and I would give her the highest recommendation. She knew the area very well and was very knowledgeable about what was available within our budget. She was also a great help to us in getting moving services. You won't be disappointed -- call her if you want a great agent! (And my son LOVES his apartment!)
Melinda was extremely diligent in finding an apartment with my specifications and needs. She found an amazing variety of places to show me, and worked with my busy schedule. She was very kind and open to field questions throughout. She continued to make sure my apartment was to my liking even after signing my lease.
Melinda was so pleasant and was so easy to work with. She recommended places that were in my budget and definitely appealed to me. She wasn't pushy at all - not your typical broker! I'd certainly recommend her to friends and will work with her in the future.
Our experience with Melinda was a pleasant surprise. We can confidently say you will not regret working with Melinda. She is different than every other realtor we have worked with because she truly puts in 110% of her time and effort. She was always working, always available by email or phone, and always willing to discuss issues that came up as we navigated our apartment search literally around the clock. She was professional, never wasted our time, listened and was responsive to our preferences. She was constantly on the lookout for good options on the market and would update us on these frequently. We were very impressed with her attention to detail regarding amenities or apartment layout.
Upper East Side Renters,

Melinda knows the Upper East area really well and is great at following up and making sure your needs have been met.
Melinda was a terrific help throughout the entire process. One of the biggest helps, through my first move into the city, was Melinda being very understanding of my situation and providing me with living options that matched what I was looking for. She listened very well and was communicative through it all. I highly recommend Melinda and Christian if you want people who are going to try and help you honestly through your entire renting frenzy!
