Featured Properties

  • I am a skeptical person, but we trusted Marilyn's judgment completely. To accomplish this herculean task, Marilyn had to demonstrate deep knowledge of the relevant market, incredible responsiveness, patience, and the ability to listen and understand our needs. She did all that and more.

  • Marilyn is an outstanding real estate agent. She knows the local market extremely well and how to position a property for successful sale. Her description of the likely buyer for our last home was shockingly accurate! Did I mention - on top of it all - she's just a really pleasant person?  Down to earth, consultative, calming, and rational are all terms I would use to describe her.
  • Rather than go into detail about her immense local knowledge, her natural kindness, her uncanny intuition; instead of expounding on the ease with which she navigates the sometimes byzantine process of buying or selling a  house in the Bay Area, and in lieu of describing her wit, sense of humor, and professionalism, let me say ... once you work with Marilyn you will be proud to recommend her to everyone you know, and there is no bigger compliment than that.
  • Marilyn is a great communicator - timely, prompt and calm with a dash of necessary humor as a reflection on the inevitable situations that arise.
  • Being a mortgage lender myself, I have dealt with thousands of real estate agents.  Marilyn doesn’t simply stand out in the crowd – she truly stands above all others for her thorough knowledge, professionalism, dedication, attention to detail, down to earth attitude and client-oriented performance.
  • She seems to know every corner in Berkeley, Albany, and El Cerrito, and has earned an impeccable professional reputation in her dealings with other realtors and real estate professionals.
  • We continually had the feeling that she was 100% in our court, keeping the process going, assisting, explaining, and intervening in our behalf.
  • Our property was listed with another agent for much of last year and did not sell. With Marilyn as the listing agent, it sold quickly, with multiple offers, for a great price. Marilyn’s marketing was creative and wide-reaching. She kept us well-informed throughout the process, was easy to reach, and she also followed through with the many details that came up along the way. We would absolutely work with Marilyn again, and highly recommend her services.
  • In our eyes (and hearts) you're nothing short of a Navy SEAL when it comes to making things happen and getting the job done!
  • She gave us all the information we needed to make decisions (even information we didn't know we needed) and then stepped back and allowed us to choose without any pressure.
