We first got to know Marissa as a friend through pickleball, and we quickly saw her 24/7, Type-A work ethic firsthand. When we decided to sell our unique home, we had already moved out of town, and that’s when we really saw what made her exceptional. We essentially told her, “It’s your home now,” and she took that seriously. She managed every contractor, inspector, showing, repair, landscaping project, and staging decision from start to finish. For every major expense, she brought us multiple bids and was incredibly creative about where to spend to maximize the value of the home. By the time it went on the market, the transformation was incredible. We actually had a hard time saying goodbye to the house! At times, Marissa felt less like a real estate agent and more like a glorified general contractor, project manager, and advocate all in one. We now live outside the Bay Area, but we will recommend her to anyone we can. If we ever make our way back, she’ll be the first person we call.
