Agent Services Difference
When you work with us, you’ll find that we are uniquely qualified to support your existing home, vacant lot, or deconstruction resale, as an adjunct with your new construction home purchase. The breadth of our experience and relationships allows us to serve you as your valued partner – a true single point of contact.
Selling Your Current Home
Most of our new construction buyers have another property to sell in conjunction with their move into a new construction home. When dealing with new construction, builders have their processes and deadlines subject to revisions and changes. This is based upon municipality rules and regulations, vendor and/or supply issues, their own project flow with their own internal organizations and other time frame altering issues. Completion deadlines for your new home are dynamic and could likely change even up to the last minute. This presents a very unique situation when having to coordinate selling a home.
Our Team Provides:
- Home selling preparation guidance
- Workback schedule timelines for contract negotiation and acceptance, contract amendments, settlement dates, vacating, and final moving.
- Home valuation and comparables
- Recommendation and resources for painting, landscaping, handyman, remediation, and staging services
- Excellent communication and expertise with negotiation

Ombudsman Service
Business Insider Service
Your agent acts as your personal Ombudsman – a builder insider. We assist with tracking the builder’s construction schedule, offer partnership and guidance with construction site managers, and access to builder senior management when required.
For New Construction Site Lot Sellers
Lot Sellers have their own unique challenges and have questions that we can help answer. See the Sellers page on this site. We have the knowledge to help you get the best value for your property and we’ll work with you to develop specific strategies to maximize the sales price of your property. Ask us about our Triple Play Option!
Our Team Provides:
- What is the value of my home as a knock down?
- Is it better for me to sell it as a normal resale?
- Should I rehab or just sell “as is”?
- Can I salvage the items in my house?
- I don’t have a place to go yet, can I get a rent-back?
- Will you help me find another home?

A Mother of 4 boys and her first of many grandchildren, many call Melissa Momma Bear. Melissa has had several Foster Children and many other young adults who called her home a safe haven. Melissa earned her title as Momma Bear from the adoptive family she helped. However, she is known to fight for her clients and serve as a protective force. Melissa and her husband of 28 years also run a non-profit that works with Vets and Young Men to train them in the construction trades offering them a lifetime of improvement.

Director of New Sales
“ When I first met Collette we were working on opposite sides of a transaction. I knew right away I was dealing with a professional. Collette was bold but compassionate. Working with her customer, she explained my position as a seller representative, and used her knowledge of real estate to guide her clients through each step of the process. Real estate agents serve their clients best when they resolve problems, not create them. Collette amplifies this in her every day approach to selling real estate.
Fred and I literally moved our real estate licenses to be closer to Collette and the professional team at RE/MAX Distinctive .
It was a big decision, and a lot of work to move our large amount of business to RE/MAX Distinctive. I personally would like to recommend Collette to anyone who’s thinking about buying or selling a home, especially if you’re looking at buying new construction! Collette fully understands the market, pricing negotiation, and she truly cares about her customers.
It’s always wise to interview multiple agents. However, I think after speaking with Collette you’ll feel confident you’ve made the right choice!”
