Testimonials

Thank you again for all of your help and support through this process Marilyn. You were a dream to work with and I will be recommending you to any and all friends and family that ever need an agent to help buy or list a home. You are fabulous! As a courtesy to my still-husband Jason, if you could not post the picture of the cute cake and me and Jeff and Facebook, it would be appreciated…just in case someone would see it and pass it along to him. It has been a hard thing for both of us to come to terms with and I’d rather not have him see a picture with me and someone else. I’m sure you can understand. Anyway, I’m so excited to be in my new home and you will have to stop in sometime when I have it painted and decorated. Mojito on the porch!
