Meet Nova Real Estate

Although we have the skills to help you win in any market, it’s not all about proven strategies and profits for us. We genuinely love our community and real estate. Our leader, Melody Hultgren, is a top producer who has influenced $400M+ in sales since 2000, but that’s not what her clients remember. They remember her unstoppable energy, how she valued them and fought for their interests, and that she turned a potentially stressful process into a fun, unforgettable experience.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Melody was fantastic! She recently helped me sell my loft in the Central Waterfront, and it sold in no time well above the asking price.

I would highly recommend her!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Melody Hultgren did a fabulous, highly professional job of assisting me through the tortuous path of preparing and marketing and negotiating the sale of my Mission District house, providing sage advice, and also negotiating for the purchase of a new house in the East Bay. I had a constant stream of questions and Melody was always helpful and patient.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I have worked with Melody Hultgren on a few purchases. She is helpful and patient when needed but pushes hard to get the desired results. She finds away to get things done.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Melody Hultgren is an absolute rockstar of a real estate agent! She made the process of selling my Jack London Square condominium absolutely effortless. She is highly responsive and communicative, knows her business and market inside out, and is as friendly as she is professional. Especially in these uncertain pandemic times, I cannot recommend her highly enough!
