Client Testimonials

★★★★★
"Marilee is an absolute joy to work with. It would be a 10/10 on that note alone. But when you combine that with her decades of east-bay market knowledge, network of relationships with agents, and finsse of negotiation; it’s all you could ask for and more. If you have the opportunity to have Marilee list your property or help you find a home, you could not be in better hands. - Jordan
