Celebrating 31 years of finding Metro Detroit homes and building memories for my clients is where I find my passion in real estate in southeast Michigan. That said, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs. My true passion is Lakefront Properties. I love the lake life! From the Pinckney chain of lakes to Whitmore Lake, I love the Lakes in the area. I also have a vast knowledge of the surrounding areas from I-275 corridor to the US 23 corridor including the four corners of Oakland, Livingston, Washtenaw and Wayne Counties.

Marilyn was our go-to choice when we decided to purchase a new home for the first time in over 25 years. She's knowledgeable, accessible, and didn't mind answering a million questions about how the home buying process has changed over the years. She helped us navigate the process from start to finish in record time. Highly recommend!!

What a pleasure it was to work with Marilyn. She is an exceptional real estate agent. She made sure that our real estate transaction went smoothly by handling any and all of the worries involved in our long distance purchase. Her ability to stay in constant communication (even while on vacation) was truly appreciated.

Marilyn is an exceptional buyers agent due to her encyclopedic knowledge of every subdivision and area we looked in. We saved a lot of time not having to look at listings we wouldnt have purchased simply by listening to Marilyns experience and knowledge. She managed to eliminate lots of houses that looked good on the surface but wouldnt measure up in person without us having to spend hours going from place to place. Great experience!

We could not have been happier with Marilyn's help while we purchased our first home.From our very first meeting, we felt we were in good hands. She's an honest shoot-from-the-hip communicator, without being unprofessional or losing sight of our priorities/wish list.On top of being first time homeowners, we were looking for a house in Michigan while living in Oregon.Marilyn was always willing to give us Facetime walk-throughs of homes, and responsive throughout the whole process.She helped us negotiate a great price on our home, and even followed up in the month after moving in. Her local knowledge is top-notch, and we couldn't be happier with her advice and guidance.We absolutely plan to use Marilyn for our future real estate needs!

If you need a realtor you have found one. She went above and beyond what she needed to do. She helped us thru issues we had with the home we were wanting to purchase. We are in our new home thanks to Marilyn. I would rate her 10++++++++++++++.
