Review for Member: Marie Jo Atkins
ZillowVERIFIEDMarie Jo and her associate, Vicki, worked with us to sell a home which sold for over $2,000,000. It took two tries, over two different years, and many showings to find a family who was interested in it. Once they did they worked hard to negotiate a purchase price acceptable to the buyers and sellers. I was very happy to work with them and would do it again if I have another house to sell.

ZillowVERIFIED Marie Jo and Vicki are incredible at what they do for their clients. The service they provide is 'top shelf'! They are professional and personable. They are so responsive that you are never left hanging. The companies they partner with to have pictures taken are amazing. Once they know what your goals are they stop at nothing to make it happen. We had a buyer within the first week they listed our home. They also helped us with the purchase of our new home. They even traveled over 500 miles to be there for the inspections. Put simply, they care! They see things through to the end. What a pleasure it was to work with both of them.

ZillowVERIFIED We had a great experience working with Marie Jo and her team.From the very beging to the very end. They were very helpful, in every step of the process. Someone was there for us when ever we had questions and were able to help us always.

ZillowVERIFIED Marie Jo and her assistant Vicki did a great job managing our home/estate listing and sale process. Their expertise started with extensive market research, pricing strategies and staging suggestions. They immediately arranged for a very impressive photo shoot, including widespread on-line listing (locally and nationally) and within 5 days of listing with the MLS we had a near full price offer. Mary Jo successfully managed the sometimes challenging negotiations and both she and Vicki managed the escrow/repair and documentation process to closing in less than 30 days. They kept us informed in a very timely fashion were extremely professional and always responsive. We will definitely use them again and highly recommend them for either a buy side or sell side engagement.

ZillowVERIFIED Marie Jo and Vicki are awesome! They helped my wife and I get our house on the market quickly and easily, and they managed the transaction every step along the way. We would recommend them highly to anyone who is looking for world-class agents who know the market deeply and who provide excellent client service. We were thoroughly impressed by their level of knowledge, service, and commitment to helping us get our house sold for the best price possible. Well done!

ZillowVERIFIED Marie Jo and Vicki were superb! This transaction would not have been completed with any other agent. The attention to detail was excellent, they were on top of everything and went the extra mile . I felt all the way through that they were they were concerned about me and my family. I wish I had another home to sell, I'd use them again with no hesitation. Thanks Marie Jo & Vicki you were great, OUTSTANDING experience...

Review for Member: Marie Jo Atkins
ZillowVERIFIED I engaged services of Marie Jo last year. She has a take-charge mentality. She knows her industry well, she understands and puts herself truly in the shoes of a seller, which is an important trait vs treating it like yet another house that she needs to sell to make her commission. I felt that commission was never a factor in her selling my house, rather much the opposite. I could text her when she is overseas & she would respond by the time I would place the phone back on the table. My experience with Marie Jo was exemplary. If and when I buy and/or sell my next place, the only person whom I can think of, would be Marie-Jo. That is the kind of service and value-add she brought to the table. You cannot go wrong with Marie-Jo. Thank you for helping me transition from my house to my new lifestyle.

ZillowVERIFIED Marie Jo was a pleasure to work with. My family has worked with her on several transactions and she never fails to exceed expectations. She is extremely professional and walked me through my transaction seamlessly. Marie Jo is punctual and extremely responsive to any calls, texts or questions.

ZillowVERIFIED We met Marie Jo at one of her other listings, which we attended solo per our usual habit of scouring the local housing market without any realtor help (we literally looked at hundreds of houses on our own, and at a handful with other realtors over the years). We bonded with Marie Jo immediately, and were grateful for her and her team's expertise negotiating a particularly tricky pocket listing on our dream home. Our off-the-market purchase required financing and was contingent on the sale of our home - as complicated a deal as can be in today's market, where the collapse of one element can undo multiple deals all at once. The command she took of the entire enterprise was breathtaking. With expert understanding of the crucial role each part of the deal would play, Marie Jo and her team (one better than the next!) swept into our home and brought it to its full potential, guiding us on making repairs, staging the house like a television crew would be filming there and marketing like a genius. Marie Jo manages to guide you while also listening to your concerns. What is the most important purchase of your life? Most likely, it is your home. She returned our calls and texts immediately, no matter the time; she was prompt and always on time for listings or showings. I used to always feel like I was bothering someone (even friends who are also realtors!) every time I wanted to see a house or had a question, but I never felt that way with Marie Jo. Each member of her team is a joy to deal with. In a market where potential deals can fall apart over the smallest detail and where time is of the essence, you can rely on Marie Jo Atkins and her team at Pacific Sotheby's. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

ZillowVERIFIED Marie Jo is the most professional, honest real estate agent you will ever meet. When we were looking for a home 6 years ago we were totally impressed by her knowledge and professionalism. So much so, that when we decided to sell the home we bought, we sought her out as the person we wanted to represent us in the sale. We were not disappointed. She and her staff did an outstanding job in both marketing our home and selling it. She identified what she thought we needed to do to sell the house and helped find people to make changes and repairs. Whenever there was concern, she always calmly handled everything for us. She was always accessible and always got back to us immediately after every showing. She was also excellent in handling everything from the sale of the house through the closing. I cannot say enough about Marie Jo. If you are looking for an outstanding agent to sell or help you purchase your home, you should definitely contact her. I recommend her without any reservation.

ZillowVERIFIED I've moved a lot in my life and after 23 hope I'm done. That said, while there are a lot of people who get a Real Estate license I have never run across a professional with the knowledge and skill that Marie Jo has accumulated and shown on the job.She knows the market......period. Professional without question, strong negotiator and has the unique skill of being able to "read" the buyer and seller very well.I readily refer her and will use her again. The feedback I have received from those to whom I have referred her mirrors what is written here. Interview her.....you will have a new standard to judge the others.

ZillowVERIFIED Mary Jo is wonderful person who is also a fantastic realtor! She works hard to understand her client's perspective on the transaction while professionally sharing trends in the market, and the needs of a transaction at hand to achieve the most favorable terms possible. She has represented me as the buyer four times, and as the seller times over the last 12 years. On both sides of the transaction I felt that she represented my interests extremely well. I have recommended her without qualification to my friends and family when they require realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED My experience with Marie Jo Atkins spans twenty years. She has either represented me as a buyer or a seller or both. She knows the area's neighborhoods, what's available, the most realistic prices and the time frame to work in. Her staff is equally expert and willing to go above and beyond. I am left with no worries when working with this team.

ZillowVERIFIED Marie Jo has an incredible reputation so we had high expectations. To say the least she did not disappoint us. She is professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and just down right amazing in every aspect. My mother was a very successful broker in the Bay Area so my bar is very high when it comes to real estate agents. They don't come any better than Marie Jo.

ZillowVERIFIED Marie Jo is the best realtor in San Diego County. She has the big picture vision in terms of how best to market, price and sell the house. She also manages all of the small, but important tactical details to successfully close on the sale. She is incredibly responsive, and has a great team to support her. In our case, she had a strategy to generate mutilple bids, which did occur within 5 or 10 days of going on the market. We had remarkable success working with Marie Jo and I sense our buyer is happy as well.

ZillowVERIFIED Marie Jo Atkins was very professional, knowledgeable and helpful in assisting my husband and I in the sale of our home in the lovely Rancho Vistamonte area of Escondido, CA. and locating another home in our desired area of Green Valley in Poway, CA. She and her team proficiently managed both the sale of our home and purchase of the Poway home, complicated with multiple closings of three homes as the family selling the Poway home relocated to the East Coast. All went very smoothly. We were very pleased with both our sale and purchase transactions. We would highly recommend her real estate services.

We have complete confidence in recommending her and we HAVE recommended her to many friends and acquaintances.

Our first business dealing with Marie Jo happened over 15 years ago and our most recent was last December, 2015! She remains the best realtor we've worked with and the first one we call! --Shelley Larson Hawkes

ZillowVERIFIED We have just finalized our seventh transaction with Marie Jo. She out did herself on this one. Her ability to understand both the seller and the buyer make her an extremely adept negotiator. We met Marie Jo when she listed our house in Poway, we have since bought and sold properties in Rancho Santa Fe. She is a true expert and professional. She understands current market conditions and is a very astute negotiator. She has also helped us with a purchase in Northern Ca.. Marie Jo is always available and her response time is extremely quick. She also has a strong team supporting her. Vicki Pellegini handles all of the paperwork and has been with Marie Jo for a number of years, they are a great team and compliment each other well.

ZillowVERIFIED We are in Rancho Bernardo and listed our high end house on the market in June 2015 for 6 months. We received 1 acceptable offer but house did not close after 3 months of delays and excuses by buyer. Teh listing expired in December 2015. This was a big let down. In January 2016 we interviewed 3 prospective agents and selected Mari Jo. Mari Jo had 3 full price offers within 5 days of listing. We are now moving on with our lives. She provided us great advice about the timing of the listing ( After Superbowl) and pricing. I consider MariJo a consummate RE professional.

ZillowVERIFIED Marie Jo, in addition to being an expert in the value of San Diego real estate, was efficient, thorough and a pleasure to work with. Notwithstanding being in a buyer's market, we sold our house in 8 days and Marie Jo and her team handled all the issues and details completely allowing us to handle the purchase of another house on the East Coast. If and when the opportunity would arise for us to purchase another home in San Diego, we will be calling on Marie Jo for assistance.

ZillowVERIFIED Service and responsiveness throughout listing and closing were world class. Marie Jo and her associate Vicki had devoted much time once a sale was pending to shop and oversee buyer requested repairs post inspection. Her knowledge of the region, its trends and competition are extreme. I cannot imagine a seller's agent any better than Marie Jo. Very pleased.

ZillowVERIFIED You need to look no farther than Marie Jo Atkins if you expect the best of the best! I have never experienced a Realtor who works as hard and as driven as Marie Jo. That may explain why I have gone to Marie Jo to buy and sell my 9 - yes that's NINE!! - transactions since my very first experience with her as a newcomer to the area nearly 20 years ago. Her knowledge of the market, expertise in evaluating the needs & expectations of her clients, and ability to negotiate on behalf of her seller and/or buyer is exemplary. She will not relax until everyone's goals are met and all involved are 100% satisfied. Just mention the name Marie Jo Atkins in the industry and immediately her reputation becomes synonymous with dedication to her clients, hard working, and results oriented.

ZillowVERIFIED We were familiar with Marie Jo Atkins through family members who had bought and sold multiple properties with Marie Jo as their agent. When we decided to sell our Rancho Bernardo townhome, we called Marie Jo who responded immediately, evaluated our property, and dispatched her team to prepare the offering documents. The property was listed on a Wednesday morning and, due to Marie Jo's excellent negotiation, we were presented a full price cash offering the same day with closing in 10 days . Her team was unbelievable during the 10 day period to guide us through inspections, purchase documentation, tax advice, and buyer communication. We strongly recommend Marie Jo and her team to anyone who is buying or selling property in the San Diego area. My wife and I will definitely utilize the expertise of Marie Jo and her team when we decide to purchase property in the future. Thank you for a perfect transaction.
