Melissa and Oksana are a home Seller/Buyer's Dream Team. They were competent, confident and caring in helping me Sell my country property and purchase my new home in the city. These women are amazing, finding an answer to every question, providing emotional support when things were looking bleak and helping out at every stage of moving out and moving in, including taking away items for donation and recycling, cleaning kitchen cupboards and hauling away garbage. Can't thank you enough for your kindness, care and everything else you have done to make my transition from country living to city dwelling as smooth as possible. Wishing you all the best in the future.

I hired Melissa and Oksana to list and sell my family farm. They did an exceptional job, explaining everything from the beginning to closing the sale. HK Home Team is by far the BEST realtors I've worked with. Experienced, honest, knowledgeable, professional, they really go the extra mile, which resulted in a smooth sale with my farm, even above asking price. Nobody knows rural and farm properties better than Mel and Oksy - selling a farm is very difficult (and much more complex) then a townhouse in the city. Anyone looking to buy or sell should call HK Home Team - you will not be disappointed. Thanks again for the amazing job you ladies did ... you are real pros!

The HK Home Team are amazing. Melissa and Oksana are a well oiled machine with friendly, professional, and get it done human touch. Our first steps into the real estate market was a very stressful point in our lives. Having lived in our existing residence for 47 great years moving would be a challenge. Melissa and Oksana were able to walk us through the process of buying as well as selling our home with immediate responses to all of our concerns with timely, friendly, and informative answers. At no time did we question our decision to use HK Home Team and there are not enough adjectives to describe how pleased we have been with the team. My wife and I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking to buy or sell. We could not be happier.
~ Dan & Maureen Kennedy
Selling our home was not an easy decision and seemed to be an overwhelming task. In walked Melissa and Oksana and everything fell into place. Before we knew it our home was sold. The entire process was handled professionally yet we felt as if we were working with friends. Thanks Melissa and Oksana of HK Home Team for helping us make this move.

In November 2017, we were looking to sell a house, out in the country that we just renovated. Getting Melissa Hamilton as our agent was the best thing we could have done. A rapport was established quickly, one which involved trust and comfort. We were going to list it a lower price until Melissa presented us with comparables and we were able to get a higher price for the house. Her ability, assistance and advice to prepare the house for sale was a tremendous help, and was the reason for selling the house so quickly. It was a pleasure to work with Melissa. She was always cheerful and always had time to answer our questions and find solutions, going out of her way to get things done. We will definitely deal with Melissa again in the future.

Melissa Hamilton is amazing!! We moved across province under the worst of circumstances. When our previous home sold quicker than we expected and with a request for a quick closing by our buyers we were left "houseless". When we came into the area Melissa took us by the hand and calmly guided us through what was a very stressful time for us. With her unbelievable patience, professionalism and dedication to our best interest Melissa helped us find our new home quickly and with ease. We would recommend Melissa to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home without a moments hesitation. She left us with no questions unanswered, ever. Melissa treated us with care, was well organized and always prepared. We now think of Melissa as a great friend and even part of our family. We will miss talking to her daily but know that we will be keeping in touch whenever possible. Anyone would be lucky to call Melissa their agent (and friend). We can't thank Melissa enough for all of her time and help!!
~ Tom & Joanne McIntosh (previously of Cambridge, ON)
Melissa is an amazing personable beautiful person inside and outside. She is easy to talk to, a great listener, knowledgeable and most importantly, honest. She is a well-balanced lady who knows how to live her life to it's fullest. You can see and feel her devotion that she has for her family, friends and her work. If I could give 10 stars to Melissa I would.
~ Helene Lauzon Smith
Just before closing on my condo in Arnprior, a severe storm blew through resulting in flooding and extensive damage in the finished basement. It was highly stressful for all of us involved in the sale, but Melissa remained cool and professional, making regular trips to Arnprior to ensure that the repair work was being done quickly and properly. The result was a smooth closing, on time with happy buyers and seller.

Melissa and Oksana. Where do we start??!! From the moment we met the ladies we just knew they would be the team we chose to sell our house. It was shortly after our initial meeting (an hour) that I texted Melissa and Oksana and said "let's do this"! And do this they did! They came up with a solid plan to sell our house but due to unforeseen circumstances, we needed to adjust the plan. They were thoughtful in their approach and explained every detail along the way. Our house sold in ten days for considerably more than asking price.
Mel and Oksy are professional, approachable, available, knowledgeable and oh so caring! We are so thankful we put our trust in the HK Home Team. They did not disappoint and we would highly recommend their services. Thank you so much ladies. We so appreciated your calming and caring nature!
~ Theresa and Chris
We had been looking for a lakefront property to build our retirement home for some time. Melissa used her full range of tools and contacts to show us multiple options. We eventually fell in love with one lot which unfortunately was not serviced. Melissa worked closely with the seller's agent and the local authorities and her many close contacts in the private sector to determine what would be required to service the lot. She then patiently and relentlessly led us through the process of negotiating the terms of our ultimate purchase agreement, which had to change over time as the seller worked through the requirements to bring hydro and a road into the lot. It was a long and challenging process and she was with us every step of the way, ensuring that our interests were protected and that we ended up with exactly what we wanted.
~ Gina Sinclair
Melissa and Oksana were an absolute pleasure to work with. They helped us with our first home sale, walking us through all the steps involved from start to finish, and helping understand the offers we received. We found their service invaluable and were very satisfied with our final decision. To say we recommend the HK Home Team is an understatement.
~ Jordan and Jenna Hamlyn
Melissa and Oksana are absolutely wonderful to work with. It's like having a friend on the "inside" that is working for you. They really cared about us as their clients as well as the neighborhood we were going to move in. HK Home Team was always available to answer our questions and to show us the property any time we asked for! HK Home Team listed our house in September and we were on contract in LESS THAN 1 WEEK OVER THE ASKING PRICE! Oksana and Melissa are diligent and always focused on our needs and preferences. You should watch the video advertisement they created - outstanding quality, makes you want to move in instantly! Thank you ladies. Highly recommended!

Melissa was referred to me by a close friend who trusted that she would look out for my best interest when it came time for me to purchase my first home. I couldn't be happier with the service that I received and the house that I purchased.
She asked me for my "must haves" and my "wants" and set me up an online search that met all of my criteria and would send me new listings daily. When I saw a house that caught my eye, she would schedule multiple viewings for houses I was interested in around the same area. Since I was looking for something just outside of the city, it was convenient to see may homes at once to save on gas and time. Melissa never told me what days and times worked best for her. She always accommodated around my busy schedule and was always working hard in the background to ensure that everything was organized and that showings ran smoothly. She provided me with information on the homes before and during the viewings that I wouldn't have been able to find online. She also gave me her opinion, which I considered very valuable given her experience and her honesty.
I am confident that Melissa was always looking out for my best interest. If the home wasn't perfectly suited to me, she would tell me that we would keep looking and we would find that perfect home, no matter how long it took. I never felt pressured to make a decision which took a lot of the stress out of the home buying experience. After we found the perfect one, I asked for her to recommend a home inspector, lawyer and insurance broker for me, all of which offered competitive pricing and exceeded my expectations.
Melissa went above and beyond for me and I honestly cannot thank her enough for the work that she did to find me the perfect home. Not only is she a great real estate agent, but a genuinely kind and honest person. She cares about her clients and really gets to know them to provide them with the best tailored service. We had a ton of fun working together and I already have, and will continue to refer her to my friends and family!
~ Alexandra D.
A huge thank you to Melissa and Oksana for their assistance with the recent sale of our home! Melissa had helped us with the purchase of our home a few years ago and we knew that without a doubt we wanted to work with her again. Both Melissa and Oksana are extremely knowledgeable, patient, and thoughtful. Their quick responses to our multitude of questions and their attention to detail throughout the entire process did not go unnoticed. Thank you for making both of our experiences so positive! We are so grateful for all of your hard work.
~ Caleb Smith
Melissa did a fantastic job guiding us through our recent home buying experience. As seniors, we had been out of the market for quite awhile, but Melissa took time to explain the whole process and made sure everything ran smoothly. She answered our phone calls and messages promptly, and went the extra mile to ensure our needs were met. We would recommend Melissa's services wholeheartedly.
~ Keith and Jennifer
Melissa offers so much more than the average real estate agent - during the process of buying our farm property she was our expert, advocate and cheerleader. She was also a valuable liaison with banks, lawyers and other services. Melissa’s upbeat attitude and ability to take care of the little details made the buying experience so much easier. When the purchase hit a few roadblocks, her perseverance kept things moving in a positive direction when we might have otherwise given up. Melissa’s hard work was the key factor in our successful acquisition of our farm, and we are truly grateful. Melissa is top of the line in her field and we couldn’t be more pleased with our choice of real estate agent.
~ Mike and Carissa McBride
Melissa was incredible throughout the entire process of helping me find a new home! She made the entire experience as stress-free as possible from start to finish. She's not the first realtor I've worked with but most definitely the BEST! She's incredibly knowledgeable and goes above and beyond with each and every client. I knew that she had a great understanding of what I was looking for and that I could count on her for any resources I also might have needed in my search for a new place. Melissa is connected with a large group of professionals and you can trust that she won't refer you to anyone that doesn't meet her own incredibly high standards. From mortgage brokers, to legal representation, to inspection, contractors, she's got you covered!
Melissa was extremely professional and efficient. When it came time to offers and negotiation with the Sellers, I really relied on and trusted Melissa's advice in order to make the best decision for me. I am really happy with how everything worked out and looking forward to working with Melissa in the future! I've been recommending her to all my friends and you won't find a better agent!
~ Maya Roscoe
Melissa worked tirelessly with us for over a year to find the perfect farm. Our wish list was long and our budget small but throughout the process she always told us to hold out until it felt right. It is clear that Melissa has the best interests of her clients at heart. She takes her job seriously and is happy to answer any questions or concerns. We started working with Melissa before she teamed up with Oksana but they compliment each other well. Oksana provided excellent insight during multiple offer situations. Thank you!
~ Kate Garvie
As first time home buyers, we couldn't have asked for a better realtor. Melissa was fantastic to work with! She was very responsive and patient and always answered all of our questions (no matter how many we had!). We never felt pressured and we truly felt as though she always had our best interest at heart. We appreciated that she kept an eye out on new listings and flagged the ones she thought we would like based on location and our house style. Her attentiveness to new listings was actually how we came across the house we bought. She notified us of the house and was able to quickly book a showing. Melissa was always willing to accompany us to open houses or schedule house viewings and always came very prepared! Every time we viewed a property, she always had a copy of any pertinent information about the house for us to keep and refer to. She also kept us updated on the housing market and promptly sent us information about what houses were selling for. Melissa was always willing to meet us wherever was most convenient for us and made the process of buying a house as easy and stress free as possible. Thank you so much Melissa! We look forward to working with you in the future!
~ Nadine and Kris
We can't say enough nice things about Melissa. Her knowledge, patience, perseverance, and confidence guided us through our entire first-time home buying process. She made sure all of our questions were answered thoroughly and quickly, and she was there every step of the way. We wouldn't hesitate recommending her. Thank you Melissa!!
~ Caleb & Claire Smith
Many questions asked, all of them answered. Very knowledgeable and understanding of our family needs. Above and beyond. Thanks Melissa.
~Lynette O'Reilly Hamilton
In March 2018 I was looking for a house I could renovate and perhaps rent out. My agent Melissa Hamilton gave me the highest quality service possible. She assisted me in finding a home, and she was concerned about meeting all of my needs. She patiently answered all of my questions. Melissa looked into issues that were involved with the house and suggested solutions. She researched and went out of her way, to get the right information to me. I really appreciate all of her help, and bought the house she found for me, and renovations are going well. Definitely will use Melissa as my agent again in the future, and recommend her.
~ Marek Skirlo
Oksana and Melissa are such genuine and caring people in addition to being professional and responsive. They made both my selling and buying experience easy and enjoyable. I decided to put my house up for sale because my personal situation changed, and they explained every detail of the selling process to me and were eager and happy to answer any questions I had along the process. They were always available and quick to respond. Another characteristic they both display that I value is that they stay true to their word. When it came to looking for my next home, they always made sure to look out for my best interests and suggested properties that would best suit me and my lifestyle. When we finally found my home, they were ecstatic for me. I would highly suggest seeking their services for any real estate services. Thank you so much Mel and Oksy!
~ Emma Roelen
We thought that buying our first property was going to be a very stressful task in today's competitive market, but the HK Home Team made it an extremely easy process. Melissa and Oksana answered every question we had (there were many!) and rather than selling us on the first house we looked at, they always had our best interest in mind. They gave their honest opinion which steered us away from properties that weren't right for us and we're so thankful for that. When expressing interest in a potential property, they were always quick to send us additional info and book a showing within a few hours. To sum it up, Melissa and Oksana are dedicated, knowledgeable, honest, patient and not to mention very friendly! We 100% recommend the HK Home Team and can't wait to work with them again.
~ Mark and Victoria
Recently my husband and I decided to move from Toronto to Ottawa to be closer to our daughter. We had enrolled the services of the dynamic duo, Oksana Kyslomed and Melissa Hamilton of HK Home Team. Oksana and Melissa were very thorough and professional and did a lot more us than we had ever expected, from any realtors. One can appreciate the challenge of buying a house under these current real estate market conditions along with the added logistics complexity of living in Toronto while buying a house in Ottawa. We really appreciated how both Oksana and Melissa were on top of things and how they kept us informed every step of the way. They really understood our specifications and without sparing any effort they made it possible for us to find the house in Ottawa that we can now call home. Thank you both greatly!
~ Carmen and Daniel Alecu
Melissa and Oksana worked very hard over the last 8 months or so finding us our perfect first home. They knew exactly what to look for, good and bad. Working around the clock for us and always answering the many questions we had. Highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a new home, highly knowledgeable and personable. Melissa also took care of finding my brother in-law and sister in-law's first homes and they couldn't be happier. Thanks again Melissa and Oksana!
~ Tye Disipio
Melissa and Oksana are friendly and capable; they took care of all of the details from beginning to end during our purchase of a farm property. They offer the best combination of knowledge, experience and personal service anyone could ask for. Highly recommended!
