What do Clients Say?

"Marilyn is smart, very ethical, and hard-working. She is client-centered. She is active in making our community a better place to live. And, she sold our home in 10 days for more than we had anticipated."

- Dr. Kiri Simms

"When my Mother decided to sell her townhouse and to move into a retirement facility I knew that Mom needed a calm and compassionate realtor. That's why I called Marilyn! We were so impressed with how Marilyn organized her team of experts, her knowledge, professionalism and how we were kept well informed every step of the way. The townhouse was sold and closed in no time! Thank you again Marilyn for your outstanding assistance during such an emotional and challenging time!"

- Wendy Hammond

"Marilyn helped us purchase our dream home. She is an outstanding real estate agent. She went above and beyond to provide excellent service to us at every stage—from purchase through to closing and beyond. We have recommended her to friends, and would highly recommend her to anyone as an extremely knowledgeable, hard working, responsive and personable real estate professional."

- Anna MacMillan

"Marilyn is a PROFESSIONAL through and through. She provided very detailed independent market evaluations to assist in the correct pricing of my property. I was hopeful that the market price would be higher than the assessment value and I initially requested that the asking price be set higher than assessed. She held numerous showings and open houses and provided timely and thorough feed back after each showing. Marilyn advertised the property in multiple publications, held many open houses and created a very professional 25 page sales brochure highlighting the features of the home. She provided mature and confident responses when confronted by a family member who had fueled my unrealistic expectations. She encouraged me to obtain an independent appraisal of the property to help me understand the home's limitations and set a more realistic asking price. Marilyn worked with the buyers and their agent to negotiate a very reasonable offer. It is this kind of professionalism and dedication to getting the best price for your property - that you can count on from Marilyn. FIVE STARS!"

- Laurel McIntyre

"Trying to sell a home in a buyers' market is not for the faint of heart! When we were researching realtors to sell our home, we were looking for someone with superior marketing skills who would make our home stand out among the many. Marilyn got our business for a number of reasons. Her listing photos were the first things we noticed, even before we met her -- for the quality of the photography, including twilight shots, to the well presented rooms. Marilyn went well beyond providing the staging consultation that other realtors we talked to offered. She was hands on, moved furniture, and brought in additional staging materials that allowed our home to be photographed and shown in its best light. Add to those things, her many years experience in the real estate business, her responsiveness with respect to communications, her familiarity with our neighbourhood, and her enthusiasm for our house, and she was the clear winner. We were winners too because we sold our house. We are more than happy to recommend Marilyn to anyone who wants to sell their home."
