Marlene knows the market and provided above and beyond the best service I could have even asked for. I spoke to several agents prior to meeting Marlene. I quickly realized that Marlene was interested in being of service, rather than just making a sale. When we discussed the sales price, she recommended a higher number than the other realtors suggested. I told her i did not want the house to sit on the market for an extended amount of time AND that i would cancel the listing at 60 days if i did not feel the house would sell with her. We compromised on the list price between the value she suggested and the lower one recommended by the other agents. In the end, the house was under contract at the highest price she had recommended in less than a week. She told me after the sale I was the first client she has had to convince to list at a higher sales price. I am grateful she did. In additional to the financial benefit, Marlene was over the top with service, helping out to meet inspectors and repair men during the process, as well as checking on the property on a regular basis. She was always quick to respond to my inquiries and kept me posted on any issues as they arose. My feeling is that you could not ask for a better agent. Thank you again Marlene.
