Ridge Realty & Associates Inc.

Melissa handled the purchase of our new house with calm and assertiveness, both of which can be challenging when the other party is an unreasonable seller. Since then we've referred friends and neighbors to her and heard nothing but good things. Highly recommended. I have used other realtors in the past, and Melissa was by far the easiest to work with and extremely accommodating. She also recommended a lender who gave us a great rate. I would definitely use her again and I have already recommended her to friends looking to buy. Melissa was a wonderful Realtor! We had two families selling one home and she was so understanding--always available when you needed her. She was able to not just sell out current home, but find us the perfect home no matter what. She was an amazing Realtor and a wonderful person…we would definitely use her again!” My brother went through Melissa and was so impressed with her, that when I needed a realtor she was an easy choice. I was looking to move on the north side of the city, and she found me the perfect home in Andersonville. She knew exactly what I was looking for and made the process so easy. She even recommended a great lender and attorney! I highly recommend Melissa Nowak to all my friends and family. Melissa was a wonderful realtor! She helped us find our dream home, and for that, we can't thank her enough! She made the process easy and didn't pressure us to make any rash decisions. She was always available when we wanted to go see the house we ended up buying, even if it was last minute and after normal business hours.” My husband works in a volatile profession, moving is a frequent part of it. We were looking at our 3rd cross country move, this time back to the Midwest. Melissa was just the Realtor we needed. Shopping for houses in a market we knew little about was so much easier with her assisting us. She is extremely knowledgeable about the Chicagoland area Melissa’s combination of understanding, during such pivotal time in life, combined with sincere honesty about what needs to be done, could be done, and what to expect were so refreshing. With her advice, timing, and price analysis, our place sold in less than a week and while we were on vacation no less. She handled everything exceptionally professionally yet without all the unnecessary formalities of some agencies.

Missy sold my daughter her home 5 years ago and was amazing through the process. When we needed to sell again, we didn't hesitate to call Missy. She was professional and honest and kept us informed every step of the way. The house sold in 4 days and closed within the month. I highly recommend using Missy for all of your realtor needs.

Melissa was extremely quick to help us shop for a new home. While we paused our search for now, she was incredibly easy to work with and we will be absolutely using her once we pick our search back up in the future. Highly recommend!!

Melissa Nowak was great to work with! I always felt that she listened closely to what I was looking for in a home and made recommendations that matched that. Her real estate experience and knowledge are excellent and I found her advice very helpful. I love the home I found with Melissa's help and the closing process even went quicker and easier than I expected. Would definitely recommend.

Missie is our go-to realtor. We hired Missie when we were both buying our home and selling it 10 years later. There is no other realtor in the Chicagoland area I would rather work with. You can count on her to advocate for your needs and keep your best interest in mind at all times.

Melissa is great to work with! Her experience and knowledge of the local area made selling my house an easy process. She was very friendly & helpful, and stayed in contact with me every step of the way! It was nice having a Woodridge neighbor as my realtor.
