Bought Real Estate

Melanie and Dave recently helped us through a pretty challenging real estate deal involving significant due diligence with special permitting and easements.  I feel they both went above and beyond what a realtor would be required to do.  Every step of the way they made sure things kept moving along and all the details were taken care of.  They helped us meet several contacts to aid us through the due diligence and with our future plans.  Melanie and Dave’s efforts were well coordinated, so we really had two realtors working on our behalf.  I would recommend Blue Ribbon Properties to anyone for their residential or commercial real estate needs.

Working with Dave and Melanie was great.  Dave and Melanie both went above and beyond to make our purchase run smoothly.  We would recommend them for any buying or selling of properties!

Bought Real Estate

We purchased a home in Cascade this past June and doing so from another state was something we were not looking forward to.  Melanie made the experience stress free and went above and beyond; going the extra mile on our behalf with the sellers realtor and the sellers themselves.  We were able to close within the 30 days the sellers had requested and did so without having to make any trips to complete the process.  We would recommend Melanie Brassfield with Blue Ribbon Realty to anyone looking to purchase a home or land in the Cascade area, in fact, we have already done so with some of our friends.  I do want to mention David Brassfield, if he hadn’t taken us to the home we purchased who knows – we could still be looking for that dream property – thanks to Melanie and David we found it and we are loving it!!!

Thank you both so much – thanks to you, we are truly living our dream!!!

Many thanks,
Eric and Sandy Hinterleiter

Melanie of Blue Ribbon Properties was realtor for a recent vacation home purchase. She was very thorough, listened to what we were looking for and delivered. She was very knowledgeable about the community and made the process very seamless.  Could not be happy enough with this experience and our new home.

My wife and I had a great experience working with Melanie Brassfield at Blue Ribbon Properties this year. She helped us to buy a small building in Cascade and she could not have been more professional, helpful, informative and responsive. Even after the sale was complete she has helped with recommendations while relying on her extensive ties to the people and community of Valley County. I highly recommend Melanie for your Valley County real estate needs.

Bought Real Estate

My wife and I purchased a building lot in Cascade and closed in September (2017). David and Melanie Brassfield of Blue Ribbon Real Estate helped us through the entire purchase process. They were extremely responsive and timely with all communication with us, the seller’s agent, and the title company. We had questions about county codes for septic, well, lot development, and winter road maintenance. Being locals in Valley County, they were a wealth of information, and even brought things to our attention we hadn’t thought to ask about. We are completely satisfied with the service Melanie and David provided us throughout the buying process. I would not hesitate to use them again, and would recommend Blue Ribbon Real Estate to my family and friends.

Melanie and Dave helped me to sell my cabin the first weekend we put it in the market! It was great having someone that knows the area and the right people to get things done!

We recommend the Brassfields and Blue Ribbon Properties for your reality needs. They will find what you want and then some!

Succeeded: Melanie Brassfield helped us find our first ever lake property, and it’s a beauty!  In June of 2017, after listening to our list of wants she showed us several homes with lake views in the Cascade area. She thoughtfully kept this list of showings within our price range.

Rolled Well with Changes: Ultimately, we settled on building our own cabin. Melanie helped us switch gears from cabin showings to walking properties in search of surveyor pins.

Went Above and Beyond: Amazingly for us, Melanie didn’t limit her search to the MLS. She knew of a lot that was For Sale By Owner. She showed it to us and we fell in love with it. She negotiated with the 3 sellers and us successfully.

Available: From our first meeting with Melanie to the signing of papers Melanie answered emails, texts, and phone calls. She wrapped up the whole process in about  6 weeks.

Saw To the Details & Loves Dogs: David Brassfield met us at the lot to walk the property lines just before we signed. He spend a good deal of time with us that day and told us about the community of Cascade. He gave us good building advice and the names of many local tradesmen, while Moose, their chocolate lab, roamed through our new sagebrush & pines. (That was a fabulous dog… and that dog adored it’s owners. To me, that says a lot.)

Bought & Sold Real Estate

Melanie helped my wife and I purchase our new home, and also sold our old home:

Purchasing:

Melanie was so great in helping us make our purchase.  She found out details about our new house that the seller didnt even know!  She walked us through the buying process and was available every time we called.  We were on a bit of a time crunch with our deal, and Melanie made sure it happened.

Selling:

Within five days of telling Melanie that we wanted to sell our home, we had an accepted offer.  I was blown away at how fast Melanie moves!  I was also very impressed at just how much Melanie knows about the Valley County area.  If you are looking to buy a home, Melanie will not only listen to what you are looking for, she will find it if it’s out there.

I would recommend Blue Ribbon Properties to anybody interested in purchasing or selling real estate in Valley County.  Melanie is professional, attentive, and easily the most knowledgeable realtor in this county.  You won’t find a better agent!!
