Marlene provided excellent service in the purchase of our new home. She was very professional, was always very quick to respond to messages, and was fantastic at negotiating the price and working with our builder on issues that came up. Many people don't realize how important it is to have an agent represent you for new construction, and Marlene's involvement in our purchase made it clear why this is so important. She was pivotal in negotiating the price we were eventually able to secure after the appraisal did not come in at asking price, and she worked with the builder to work through issues that came up prior to closing. I would recommend Marlene to everyone I know, and I will definitely use Marlene again on any future purchase or sale.
