Melissa Cote is a Nashua, New Hampshire real estate agent with Keller Williams Gateway Realty, and her Google page holds a rare thing: 43 ratings, every single one five stars. Clients hire her for buying, selling, and even rental searches around the Nashua area and across the New Hampshire–Massachusetts border, and her Massachusetts real estate broker license is registry-verified active. Long-distance moves come up again and again in her reviews. This month, one client described relocating from Houston to New Hampshire, needing Melissa to find homes and negotiate while they were still stuck selling a house in Texas. Another described being referred by a hotel manager mid-relocation from Connecticut and knowing within one meeting she was the right fit. A third, selling a home after 32 years, called her a guide through the whole process who found a buyer willing to work around the family's timeline. Two reviews from real estate professionals stand out for how they frame her work rather than just praising it: in a July 2025 review, a lender who has closed deals with many agents called working with her a standout experience for being proactive and responsive; in a review from January 2025, a closing attorney said that in years of working with her, clients arrive at the closing table informed and happy every time. First-time buyers show up throughout the history too, several crediting her patience for making an intimidating process manageable, and one January 2026 review specifically credited her pricing strategy and video walkthroughs with drawing buyers in quickly. There's little to flag. The one gap is on paperwork rather than performance: her website lists a New Hampshire license number that has not been checked against the state's registry, so it's the business's own claim rather than a verified one — worth confirming directly if the deal is NH-side. For a sale, a purchase, or a relocation search that needs someone who can work a market from a distance, this is an agent with years of detailed, repeated praise across very different kinds of transactions — the natural next step is a direct conversation about the specific market and timeline.
Melissa is the most talented realtor we’ve ever met! We moved to New Hampshire from Houston in June of 2026. It was a massive downsize and incredibly nerve racking. We were unable to be in New Hampshire because our Texas house was on the market. Melissa found numerous homes that fit our criteria and quickly sent them over to us for review. Every house we liked she went through with us on a FaceTime call. When we found “the one” she worked quickly and guided us on the offer we should present to the seller. We got our house and the process was seamless! It felt as though we’d known Melissa for years and she understood exactly what we were looking for. If you want an agent that listens carefully to your wants and needs, . She’s very familiar with Nashua and all the surrounding areas, she absolutely loves her job and helping people find their forever dream home!
After selling our home in CT, to make the relocation to NH easier, we spent a few weeks in an extended stay hotel while waiting on a rental unit. It was there that the hotel manager referred us to Melissa Cote. After our initial meeting, we immediately knew Melissa was the right person to lead our search. With the parameters set and our needs and wants outlined, the search was on. The process proved to be more challenging than we anticipated; however, Melissa never wavered and continued to guide the process with exceptional knowledge of different markets and lakes and worked tirelessly to find matching properties, schedule showings, and structure offers. In the extremely competitive market, there were a few disappointments. Melissa's real value came in the form of patience and it finally paid off when a home we missed out on fell through and within hours, Melissa had it under contract for us. Once under contract, Melissa recommended professionals from her extensive network to guide us through to closing day. The recommendation we received for Melissa turned out to be the best early advice we got upon arriving in NH. We would without hesitation and with great pleasure recommend Melissa to anyone we encounter in our new home state in need of a high caliber real estate agent.
When we decided to sell our home after 32 years, we wanted to work with a real estate agent that we could partner with and who would guide us with their knowledge through the whole selling process. Melissa was that person and was in our corner the whole way. We sold to a buyer who was using a VA loan and that was a complicated process. Melissa made sure she was on top of every part of the VA loan to keep the process flowing as well as keeping us informed every step of the way. She always made herself available whether we had a question, or something related to our sale came up even when she was on a family vacation. If you would like a real estate agent who will be in your corner every step of the way, making sure you are always in the know, then Melissa is the agent for you. Thank you, Melissa, for all your hard work and for guiding us through selling our beloved family home. You’re the Best!
We couldn't have asked for a better guide through the complex and stressful process of selling our parents' home. Melissa was ever informative, patient and supportive as we slowly got the place ready to sell. And once it was ready to list, her smart pricing strategy led to a quick over-asking sale!
Selling a home can be an emotional and stressful process. Melissa Cote made the entire experience so much easier for me. Melissa's genuine care and support extended the relationship beyond a mere transaction. From the first discussion with Melissa, as she explained her market knowledge, pricing strategies, explaining the complex process with patience, and knowing I was a priority I knew I was in good hands with Melissa. Melissa's professionalism and reliability are fundamental qualities that ensured a smooth process. Achieving the best outcome for me was always Melissa's goal. I am incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Melissa Cote to anyone looking for a real estate agent who combines expertise with genuine compassion and commitment.
