"Mel was my realtor when I sold my home in Naples. He was absolutely terrific! He was so helpful and went above and beyond the duties provided by any other realtor I've ever done business with. I only wish that I could have taken him with me for the properties I purchased out of state. Mel spoiled me and continues to be helpful and extremely knowledgeable. I trust what he tells me to be the truth..."

He has helped me with numerous investment purchases over the years, with a keen eye and goal of building my portfolio. It has been a real pleasure working with him, not only as my real estate agent, but also my friend..."
-Jeffrey Stedry, Senior Mortgage Consultant, Washington Mutual Bank, Alphretta, Georgia

"We were first introduced to V. K. Melhado, "Mel" and the Naples International Group on our first trip to Naples by very good friends of ours. We had asked them for a recommendation for a Realtor with extensive knowledge of the higher end single family homes in the greater Naples area. We were impressed by the vast amount of knowledge that he had with regard to the specific market that we were seeking. We didn't buy on that first trip, but did on a subsequent visit. "Mel", working with his team of professionals, found us the perfect home and kept us well within our budget. It will be a pleasure to refer him to anyone we meet who, either now or in the future, might be looking for property in Naples..."
-Jerry & Marsha Mailhot, Political Consultant, San Diego, California

"Coming from the U.K., we were a bit apprehensive when we first looked at property to purchase. "Mel" helped to put all our fears aside, and demonstrated his wonderful ability to communicate with us as foreigners, unfamiliar with U.S. real estate customs. After several successful purchases through him, he and his team have established a pipeline to England for our friends and clients to purchase investment property from him..."
-Steve & Cindy Allison, Mortgage Broker, Warwickshire, England

"Mel" and the Naples International Group are wonderful to work with. They sold my home in record time at the full asking price, and I was thrilled at how smoothly the transaction took place..."
-James Pratt, Estate Manager, Naples, Florida

"Thanks to you for all your help, patience and advice the last couple months. Barb and I could not be happier that we found you and appreciate all the time you spent with us during our house hunting trip. The closing went as smooth as possible and we look forward to a long and properous relationship..."
