Melissa Luks Fidanza

Broker, Owner

REB.0758631

Melissa was raised in New Fairfield, CT. She graduated from New Fairfield High School, class of ‘93; Western Connecticut State University, class of ‘97; and had a successful seven year corporate career with Ethan Allen World corporate headquarters in Danbury, CT in the interior design training department. She married her high school sweetheart, John, in 1999, and they have chosen to raise their family on the shores of the beautiful Candlewood Lake. Melissa and John have three children; Christopher, Gianni, and Isabella.

In 2002, Melissa decided to obtain her Realtor’s license at night while pregnant with her first child while working her corporate position and later obtained her Broker’s license in 2006 while pregnant with her second child. Being born and raised in New Fairfield has provided her with unlimited connections and being a Realtor seemed to be the perfect piece of the puzzle. Being a Realtor has blended itself effortlessly with her family life which she loves.

Over her nearly twenty years as a sales agent with Luks Realty, Melissa has been the recipient of many awards, has consistently been a top sales producer, and her client services are unmatched.

Being surrounded by the Real Estate industry her entire life as her mother, Claire, opened Luks Realty in 1987, has been the perfect preparation for her to transition into the next stage of her career and take over as the principle broker of the agency.

Melissa is determined to continue to provide unsurpassed customer service along with implementing forward-looking marketing techniques to obtain top dollar for the largest investment of her clients’ life; their home.

In the future, perhaps one of her children (especially the two who “attended” class with Melissa all those years ago), will also go into the family business… only time will tell.

My wife & I experienced exceptional real estate guidance from Melissa Luks Fidanza. Her pricing advice was clear and accurate resulting in an extremely fast sale well above the asking price. No small part of the resulting sale was her advice on how to stage the home. It was brilliant and was accompanied by superior photography. If you want top results pay attention to every bit of advice offered by this first class professional.

Selling our rental home was such an amazing process. We were so lucky with Melissa because we were able to sell our home for over asking price in such an easy process. She listed our home and we were in contract within a day. Luks is full realtors who are dedicated to providing a positive customer experience. When we had a question she always knew the right answer because she has been in the business for such a long time. She made our experience excellent and we plan to use her for our future real estate needs.

We recently listed our home and I did not know what to expect as it was our first time selling a house.

I expected it to be difficult and very time consuming, which I was dreading. I’ve heard many tell me what a nightmare it was when they’ve sold homes. I am so thankful we worked with Melissa, it was honestly the easiest and least stressful process! Melissa was so wonderful while working with us, accommodating to our schedules, our children’s schedules, guiding us in the right direction, and kept in constant contact making sure we were aware of everything going on (I really appreciated that!) She truly had our family AND the buyers best interest at heart and made this process such a breeze. Thanks to Melissa our home was listed and an offer accepted within a few days and the entire process from start to finish was so quick. I could not have been any more satisfied. I highly recommended working with Melissa and her team for the sale or purchase of your home. I know we will be using and recommending her from here on out. Thank you Melissa & Luks Realty for all you did for us, we truly appreciate your hard work and dedication and can’t believe how easy the process was!

Melissa of Luks Realty came highly recommended from friends who had used her in both sales and purchases of homes. From the first showing we attended together, we immediately felt comfortable with Melissa. While the home we viewed had some positive points, Melissa had no qualms about pointing out potential problems with the home. It never felt once like she was trying to make a sale or put any pressure on us as buyers. Fast forward a few weeks and we found a home we were absolutely in love with. Without any hesitation, Melissa set up a viewing on Monday evening because it was the only time that worked for us. It was the first time of many times that Melissa went the extra mile for us, pushed the seller when we asked her to, and used her professionalism to successfully negotiate the purchase of our dream home!

We’re first time home buyers and Melissa made the whole process super easy with zero stress. She’s extremely knowledgable and was there to answer our questions and provided assistance from the first showing to closing. Would highly recommend Melissa and her agency.

Melissa’s real estate expertise proved invaluable throughout our process of buying a home in New Fairfield. She went above and beyond to ensure a smooth process. From the start of our journey she really listened to what we were looking for and only sought out properties that were a match for us. We found the right home and she was very helpful during the offer stage and the subsequent contract stage. She was always readily available to answer questions, meet with inspectors or even help research permit history and old surveys found at the city clerks office. Even after the deal closed she’s been available to answer our new home owner questions. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to buy or sell.
