Hi, I’m Mel Abbott, and I am incredibly grateful and excited for the opportunity to work with you! Whether you are exploring the housing market for the first time, looking for a second house, or interested in selling your home, I am committed to providing a joyful and professional experience, ensuring the process is as smooth and pleasant as possible. I am deeply passionate about real estate and even more passionate and devoted to providing clients with a positive, personalized experience that begins with our first meeting and extends beyond the day of closing.

My professional and personal ventures have afforded me a unique perspective and skill set that lends itself to helping clients at all phases of the real estate process. After seven years of working in elderly subsidized housing, I understand and appreciate how meaningful it is to have a place to call home. When purchasing my first home and then selling it eight years later, I learned the importance of having a trustworthy, energetic, organized, and caring partner who understands varying housing markets and is committed to exceeding client expectations. I am dedicated to serving clients and the community with integrity and am a member of the National Association of Realtors, New Haven Middlesex Association of Realtors, and Smart MLS. 

In addition to real estate, I also love writing, organizing, hiking with my husband and our rescue dogs, Hazel and Chili, and spending time with family and friends. Born and raised in Connecticut, I have lived in several towns - Wallingford, North Haven, Guilford, and Madison, to name a few. I love our state from the northwest hills to the shoreline and everything in between; Connecticut is a wonderful place to call home! I look forward to getting to know you and learning more about your real estate dreams so together we can turn them into a reality.

Testimonials

Mel did a very professional job finding me a great rental in my price range. She is thorough, timely and knowledgeable. She exemplifies excellence.

Jeffrey Leichtman

We used Margeret Muir team and Jim Sperry to buy our home and they referred us to Mel Abbot. Have to say we are exceeding pleased with all three people and have and will continue to refer them to others.

Robert and Jane Kragh

Maureen and George Goss

Throughout the process of finding my home I always felt supported and comfortable . My questions and any messages really , were responded to promptly , making me feel heard and important . Mel Abbott made me feel as if no question was a silly question , being a first time home buyer I was not sure what exactly to look for and they provided me with an abundance of advice that ultimately made me find a home I am happy to move into. We are very grateful that we got to work with Mel, she went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. She even went as far as putting her reputation on the line when the seller was having doubts.

Javier Prince

Mel, was consistently thorough and immediately responsive throughout our prolonged real estate process. She remained upbeat, positive, courteous, and congenial in every interaction. She was informed and what she didn’t know she learned and communicated to us the answer in warp speed. I always felt I was in good hands with Mel. Even though I knew she was new to this business, she inspired my confidence and I was not disappointed. She is a valuable asset to y’all and I will certainly recommend her to everyone I know who is either buying or selling a house. She learned quickly what we wanted and when our first offer failed to be accepted, she continued to look and found the right place for us. Our friends and family and our attorney all echoed these sentiments, based on their interaction with Mel. In short: she’s a keeper, who represents your office with grace and skill.

Terry Dawson

We couldn’t say enough about how much we appreciate Mel Abbott. She is such a kind person and always works in a professional manner. She worked late nights searching for information on a city septic plan for the area we lived in. Without her hard work our season cottage wouldn’t have sold. We have referred her to other people at Duds Village. She is the best realtor we have ever had to work with! We are so happy we had her in our corner!
