Testimonials from Happy MLS Detectives Clients

"As a retired Realtor, I know excellence when I experience it. Curt, Mike, Scott and Jennifer were top notch all the way. The photography, interactive floor plan and Open Houses were held with great professionalism. Their negotiating skills and advice were instrumental in making sure that nothing was left on the table. I would highly recommend the MLS Detectives to get your home SOLD!”

- Laura R. - 2024

"We were from out of state and Curt took the time to fully understand what we were looking for. He personally visited homes we thought we might like and he also suggested some. He took pictures and wrote critiques, allowing us to judge whether to pursue further. When we found a couple, we flew in and decided on the one we wanted. Curt did a Market review and suggested a price significantly lower than the asking price and helped us negotiate a final price. His post-sale support has also been excellent, not what we expected from a Real Estate agent."

“We first met Curt at an Open House that he was hosting. Since this was our first Open House, we of course had lots of questions concerning the home and the association. Curt took his time and was very patient answering all of our questions. After we left the Open House, we felt that Curt was the Realtor for us! He found us the perfect home! Between the time we made our offer and the time we closed, Curt and Jennifer were always there to help with anything and everything we asked. We would highly recommend Curt and his team to anyone who is buying or selling. They are professional and they know the business very well!”

- Anna F. - 2024

"Curtis, Michael and Jennifer worked tirelessly as a team to get our sale and purchase completed. They made two complicated transactions roll seamlessly into a near simultaneous close. We have bought and sold many properties during our career, but this stands out as one of the best orchestrated and well organized. Many thanks to Curt and the Team for your professionalism and personal touch. We will definitely reach out to them in the future when buying or selling."

- Diana & Gary G. - 2024

"Curtis and Jennifer are AMAZING! As an Active Duty Air Force RN, my family has done our fair share of moving. This team sold our home so quickly and seamlessly and were there to walk us through every step of the way. Their attention to detail and quick action is truly remarkable. Having the stress of relocating after only being in our home less than 6 months & in a tough market was obviously less than idea,l but with Curt and Jennifer the process was smooth and we are so grateful!"

- Kali & Jake K. - 2024

"I have worked with this team for over ten years. They are honest and diligent in advocating for their clients. They are a valued asset here in the Punta Gorda market. We consider them a valuable Realtor partner in this market."

- Michael M. - D.R. Horton Inc. - 2024

“Great Realtors! First used them in 2005 and they’re still my first choice!”

- Charles G. - 2023

"I was truly blessed when I walked into the Sales Office of a development being built in Punta Gorda and ran into Curt Mellon. I was not interested in that particular neighborhood but he still answered every question I had about my future move to the area. From that day forward, we stayed in touch with each other while my plans changed several times. Curt was always a pleasure to deal with and ask questions to. With his expert counsel, we decided on which email blast he would put me on, which changed several times over the months it took me to sell my home on the East coast of Florida. When I finally decided I wanted to buy a home and not rent, Curti steered me to the areas he sensed I would be happy living in, since I was not familiar with the Port Charlotte area. The day finally came when we were ready to walk through many properties. He and Michael were an absolute pleasure to spend the day with! Most importantly, Curt kept me focused on my goal and helped me decide which house would work best for me. When it came time to negotiate the contract, after changing my mind midstream to a different house, he was fast, efficient and thorough in the negotiations. Curt's associate, Jennifer Marto, was a pleasure to deal with as well. She went above and beyond what was necessary to put me at ease and treat me as if I had been her friend for life. Between the two of them, I never had to wait for a reply or an action to be taken. Our closing was smooth and without incident due to their professionalism. Choosing Curt was an absolute blessing and I am forever grateful for his help in finding our beautiful new home."

- Lori & Tom N. - 2023

"I would recommend Curt and his team to anyone! They are the greatest people to work with! They are on the job even after hours and work quickly, efficiently and professionally. Very knowledgeable, very classy and upscale but also like family to work with!"

- Tina W. - 2023

"A neighbor came by recently and asked about our Realtor. I didn't hesitate to give him Curt's business card and I described the genesis of the market analysis and strategy. We are pleased that our property sold quickly and smoothly. I was very pleased at the knowledgeable and informed responses to our endless concerns of the selling process."

- Dr. & Mrs. Harris L. - 2023

"As successful home sellers, we are writing to express (to all who are looking for a Realtor they can trust with a move of this magnitude), our sincere gratitude to the entire MLS Detectives Team. Curt Mellon walked us through each phase of the selling process taking care to answer every question presented along the way. Mike made a virtual tour of our home that was absolutely stunning and garnered us plenty of traffic. Jennifer Marto was there for the millions of detailed questions we had and patiently answered them along the way. I cannot express how much we appreciated having a team of professionals such and Curt, Mike and Jennifer to trust. From listing to purchase agreement to inspections to appraisal to closing successfully, we did not have to worry about anything in the complicated and confusing legalese of our Real Estate transaction. They are experienced and well versed professionals in every aspect of Southwest Florida Real Estate; a truly exceptional and experienced team!"

- Barbara F. & Carrie G. - 2023

"Curt and Mike as usual did a fantastic job in helping us sell our home. I would highly recommend Curt and his team whether you are buying or selling a home. From beginning to end they were right there with us."

- Jim & Donna P. - 2023

"Curt and his team have once again provided excellent guidance and execution with the sale of our Florida residence. Curt and Mike assisted in the purchase of our Florida home 8 years ago. It was not an easy task to find "the one", however Curt and Team, true to their motto iterating they are the "MLS Detectives", kept searching until we did find "the one". Due to various reasons, we decided to sell and knew exactly who to call! Curt guided us in his knowledgeable and pragmatic way on the listing. He also assisted on every step of the process once listed all the way through to close. We would not hesitate to recommend the MLS Detectives Team knowing that anyone who uses their services will be in good hands!!!"

- Michael W. - 2023

"Curt and his team did another outstanding job for us. He has taken care of our family's Real Estate needs for decades and I really put him to the test with having to relocate my father from California to North Port with only a 9 day window to find a home. Curt found my father his dream home and he could not be happier. We closed in a very short period and his team saw it all through to the end. Can't thank them enough."

- Steve G. - 2023

"Curt was great! Very knowledgeable and a huge help in showing me what to look for in buying my house. Highly recommended!!"

- Dave R. - 2023

"Curt and the team were fabulous to work with. I can't say enough about how easy they made the whole process, all the sound advice they gave me and how hard they worked to help get a good price for my Mom's home and how genuinely kind they were throughout the selling process. Just the nicest people! I highly recommend Curt and the amazing team he works with!"

- Wendy S. - 2023

"Recently, I sold a home in Punta Gorda, Florida. I had listed the home with a different Realtor but in March of this year, I switched to Curtis Mellon's agency. Curt was able to find a buyer and we completed the closing last week. Curt and Jennifer were very responsive with answering questions, texts, and emails, most often the same day. I was very pleased with the services I received. I can wholeheartedly recommend Curt and the MLS Detectives team!"

- Peter L. - 2023

"On point as always!! Knowledgeable and very helpful. Also, a special shout out to Jennifer! She is fantastic!"

- Shane G. & Cris S. - 2023

“Curtis Mellon was a pleasure to work with. He gave us fantastic advice about how to prepare our home for the market and he sold it within days of listing it. Communication was terrific. I highly recommend Curtis Mellon to anyone buying or selling in Charlotte County!”

- Renee R. - 2023

"From start to finish when selling our home, the process was detailed and perfectly executed. Curt, Mike and Jennifer were great to work with and always available to answer questions and their follow up was precise. When listing our home, the pictures, virtual tour and the commercial segment were all done professionally and on point. I would recommend working with their team for any Real Estate needs. Great individuals overall and extremely trustworthy!!"

- Beau & Stacey M. - 2023

"I sold both commercial and residential property in the Albany, NY area for over 12 years and I think I know a good Real Estate team when I meet one. Curt and Mike with their MLS Detectives Group certainly qualify as one of the best. I’ve known Curt and Mike since we moved into Vizcaya in 2013 and I’ve seen how they worked with their clients. So when we decided to move, we asked them to take the listing and we were definitely pleased with our decision. In a slow market, Curt was very good at keeping our spirits up and in our negotiations with potential purchasers. Also, Mike put together a great video presentation and Jennifer was always at hand to help us out. I would highly recommend Curt and the MLS Detectives Group because selling your home is very stressful but Curt and his team were always very professional, kind and helpful."

- John & Sharon N. - 2023

"I have bought and sold many properties now with Curt and Mike and continue to come back whenever I need their services. They have years of experience and have been a thriving foundation in the world of Real Estate in Punta Gorda, Florida. As a team, they combine their strengths to provide the best possible service for sellers and buyers."

- Karen J. - 2023

"Curt, Jennifer and the rest of the staff at this office are awesome! They were very helpful when we had issues with our first builder and found us an alternative when it did not work out. We appreciated their honesty and open communication. We recommend them 100%!"

- John & Susan T. - 2023

"A very professional initial meeting where Curt provided detailed information including county permits, area comps, etc. The 360 degree, 3-D video was a big plus. Curt arranged a number of open house showings and was readily available and very responsive when contacted with questions/concerns. He, Mike and their team are highly regarded in Charlotte County. Highly recommended."

- Ken & Kathleen V. - 2023

"Purchasing a house in a different state can be stressful. I was so blessed with the experience, helpfulness and the above and beyond responsiveness I received during this process. Curt Mellon and Team were so patient and respectful of my questions no matter what. They deserve a higher rating then this survey allows to submit! Great work! Thank you SO MUCH!"

- Lola I. - 2023

“With Curt and his team always at the ready, they sold our home in 40 days during the summer when nothing in our neighborhood was selling. Everyone on his team is a true professional. There is no question that Curt cares for his clients and will clearly go the extra mile. He’s uniquely “in tune” with the communities and what is happening around town. Even when he was out of the country on vacation, he was readily available, very responsive and handled the offer as if he was working in his office down the street. Curt isn’t afraid to actually invest in marketing your home.. not just listing it on the MLS and waiting for the house to sell. Nope! Not with Curt! As we found out, he has quite a few tricks up his sleeve to get your home noticed. No matter what we wanted to do from marketing, pricing, supporting private appraisals, Matterport 3D virtual tour of the home, caravans, etc. Curt was open, friendly and always receptive to feedback. Curt cares about his clients and will always try to accommodate your requests. Thanks Curt and of course, the rest of the crew!”

- Chris & Sharon V. - 2023

"Curtis & Michael of the MLS Detectives were our agents eight years ago when my husband bought my dream house. Our first ever home purchase. Curtis worked so very hard to assemble homes to match our "must have/won't have" lists. Michael took time away from personal family to show a house that their agency found. They (and their employees) are EXCEPTIONAL people, not simply Real Estate agents. They truly care for those who come to their agency. They explained in precide detail for us newbie home buyers the specific ins and outs. They are honest, forthright and fair. We now (sadly) are selling our dream home. They have caringly stepped back in to help ease us through the very sad, difficult process of selling. We are so very thankful that Curtis, Michael and especially Jennifer, eagerly and kindly have again, helped us on this first time experience of selling. They then dilligently helped find our forever home. They dealt with a "mortgage" company that had no clue of Florida Real Estate laws with calm persistence and determination to ensure that we, their clients, closed on our forever home. It goes without saying that we will turn to Curtis, Michael and their amazing agents for any future Real Estate dealing we may have."

- Patrick & Suzi G. - 2023

"I admire Curt for his honesty and his professional approach, he was instrumental in completing the sale of our home. Thank you Curt!"

- Anthony M. - 2023

- Royce C. - 2023

“From start to finish and even beyond that, Curt, Mike and Jennifer were diligent and spot on with the sale of our home and our new purchase. They assist you above and beyond one’s expectations. After two years of trying various Realtors, the MLS Detectives shined through in SO many ways compared to others.”

- Elaine & Donald T. - 2022

“Great support and help whenever we needed it. Jennifer was fantastic at providing all the answers and Curtis was there to do whatever we needed."

- Kathleen N. - 2022

“Super professional and extremely knowledgeable regarding Real Estate and related issues in this market. Curt and his team have a depth of knowledge of insurance and a multiplicity of connections to get things done! The entire team is a joy to work with and we were never left hanging on anything! The team actively marketed our property and took the sale of our home as seriously as they would if it were their own."

- Dee G. - 2022

“From beginning to end, our selling process was easy and smooth. Curt, Jennifer and Mike did an amazing job listing, taking and posting pics, and handling all aspects of our sale. We were fortunate to sell and close quickly, without any issues. We are relocating to another state so had no experience buying another home locally. We would recommend their team for your Real Estate needs.”

- Jim & Jean L. - 2022

"I am scheduled to finalize the sale of my home on Monday and was asked how was my experience with REMAX Anchor and it's agents? I was all too happy to share my amazing experience with Curt Mellon, my agent, along with the other members of his support team Jennifer Marto and Mike Federau. In fact, I was honored to elaborate on my experience with this super team of experts without the benefit of anyone asking. My initial encounter was with Mike Federau, who warmly welcomed me, by offering me a beverage and snack from their well-stocked goodies bar. He intently listened to my needs and concerns, even providing me with a free, no obligation, concise property analysis of my home. Not once did he pressure me into contracting with his company. In fact, I interviewed with several other Real Estate companies before choosing them as the right fit for me. However, it is not what sold me on choosing them as my listing agents. It was their kindness, patience and expert skills of the current housing market that won me over. Once contracting with REMAX Anchor, the process went rather quickly. Mike Federau outdid himself by photographing spectacular 3D and virtual photos of my home, which were amazing. Curt Mellon immediately followed by managing the showings of my home, providing me with hourly showing and offer statuses. He was most respectful of my time by helping with the coordination of the showings and vetting all potential buyers and offers, before submitting for my review. Not leaving out Jennifer Marto, the third amazing sleuth of this team of Home Detectives. Jennifer was my very own office and contract manager. She kept me abreast of all contract concerns before and after my closing. With this team, there was never a misstep or delay in addressing any concerns, as each member supported and complimented each other, therefore making this experience great. In closing, I am incredibly grateful to have met and contracted with this amazing team of professionals and would highly recommend the MLS Detectives for all of your Real Estate needs."

- Julia F - 2022

"Curt Mellon is simply the most professional, courteous and knowledgable Real Estate professional I have ever worked with. He exemplifies the saying "Patience is a virtue" as he has been working with us for nearly five (5) years to find the right place for my wife and I to call home in Southwest Florida. Curt's vast experience, coupled with his keen and extensive knowledge of the Punta Gorda / Southwest Florida Real Estate market enabled him to suggest homes and neighborhoods that matched our "wish list". He worked around our scheduled visits and was always prepared to go the extra mile to hunt down information. We would be remiss not to also convey our sincere thanks and appreciation to Jenn Marto of Curt's team. She too, was always more than happy to roll up her sleeves to help schedule showings and track down leads. Her friendly and upbeat personality always made house hunting a pleasurable experience. I highly recommend Curt and Jen and look forward to remaining not only clients, but friends."

- Charles W. - 2022

"Our experience with Curt was awesome! He was very patient with us as buyers. It took a while to find the right home and it was a process (long story!). He is excellent! Professional, savvy and knows a ton about construction as well as the market. I would HIGHLY recommend him. You won't be sorry!"

- Nanette & Ed F. - 2022

“RE/MAX ANCHOR REALTY team members Curt Mellon, Mike Federau and Jennifer Marto are SUPERSTAR REALTORS. They represented my wife and I on two (2) properties in 2021 and 2022. Whether a seller or buyer, Curt is without question the “go to guy” in Punta Gorda and surrounding areas for all your Real Estate needs. He adds TREMENDOUS VALUE to the buying and selling process with his knowledge, honesty, experience, skills, outstanding character and professionalism. Likewise, Mike and Jennifer are especially talented and support Curt’s extraordinary efforts. RE/MAX ANCHOR REALTY is highly regarded and respected by other Realtors and consistently gets GREAT RESULTS!

- David & Jean C. - 2022

"I highly recommend Curtis and Jennifer. I am a Canadian citizen and unfamiliar with Florida and the areas I was looking at. Curtis and Jennifer kept me well informed of markets that are worth looking into, pricing and price per square foot. Their communication was excellent - always got back to me in a timely fashion. It is hard to find agents that are trustworthy and working on your best behalf. This team I can honestly say they have both these qualities. Thank you Curt and Jennifer - it’s been a pleasure doing business with you and I will use you again in the future."

- Susan M. - 2022

“We were looking to purchase an investment condo in a very tight market. With seven offers on the table, Curt & Jennifer guided us through a challenging process from the initial offer through closing. We would definitely use their services for future real estate business!"

- Christine H. - 2022

"Curt and the team did a stellar job and were great to work with. Responsive, respectful of our time and vetting the interested parties, etc. The photos, write-up and showing were all excellent! The sales and closing processes were also smooth and straight forward. FIVE STARS!"

- Pam & Pat J. - 2022

"Absolutely the best Real Estate experience I've ever had. Curt Mellon is a consummate professional. He possesses all of the skills and characteristics you could possibly hope for in a Realtor. Curt is much more than an excellent Realtor. He is an invaluable trusted advisor and client advocate. Curt, Mike. Jennifer and the entire MLS Detectives team are outstanding. They are responsive, knowledgeable and a complete pleasure to work with. Highly recommend Curt Mellon and the MLS Detectives team."

- Diana S. & Lynn B. - 2021

"Curt and his assistant Jennifer were fantastic. My elderly parents, who live in Canada, were unable to come to the US to help with the sale of their home. Curt and his team found a buyer and obtained a price that all parties were happy with. But their dedication and human kindness went much further. They personally packed and shipped all of my parents' personal belongings, including cherished pictures, hand-made Christmas cards and "artwork" from grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Our family couldn't be more grateful for all they did to make the sale of their home a smooth and successful event."

- Kevin C. - 2021

"We were referred to Curt and could not have been happier. It took four trips to Florida to find the perfect house and he was patient and always responsive to our questions. His office team was also outstanding. I do not think you would find a better agent and team in the area".

- Jeff & Monica U. - 2021

"Curt Mellon and Jennifer Marto are fabulous to work with. They both are the consummate professional and avail themselves to take your endless calls and answer all of your questions. Jennifer showed us the house we purchased and worked tirelessly all weekend to get the deal completed. I can't recommend them enough! They work diligently to get all of the pieces in place so you can have the home of your dreams. Don't hesitate, call Curt!"

- Maggie & Frank G. - 2021

"Having dealt with Curt on four different Real Estate transactions, I can say that he is the most professional, honest, reliable and motivated person to ensure a successful outcome. He is a warm and caring individual who goes the extra mile and then some. He is better than all the rest. I bless the day I found him."

- Grace J. - 2021

"We have used the services of Curt & Mike in 2009; they sold our condo and we were so impressed with them, we bought the home we just sold through them. Now, due to age and failing health, we just sold that home that we so loved. We called Curt and agreed on a listing price. Curt got on it and within a very short time, we had a buyer with a full price offer for a turnkey house and they are so happy with their new home! We could not be there for closing due to distance, pandemic, etc.... enter Jennifer who not only kept in touch with us, but along with attention from Curt, they took care of all the details of the closing and went to our home and packed our personal belongings and shipped them to us. We so appreciate all they did above and beyond what was called for. We thank them so very much, as they are the best! So very grateful to them, they kept everything running smoothly and we appreciate all that they did for us!"
