About Marilyn Varnes

Real estate is my passion and I love living in North Carolina. Who better to trust and help you sell your home or help you find the perfect home for you and your family then a Zillow 5 star agent with over 10 years experience . I have helped many families buy and sell homes over the years. The one thing they will all say is that I'm a good listener. I have not only helped them understand the process which can be a bit confusing but stay with them every step of the way. I am a Certified Real Estate Negotiator and a Certified Listing Professional. I have many connections from lenders, home inspectors, warranty companies to professional photography to help make this a smooth experience. I am a resident at Lake James which offers an ideal location for those of you considering a 2nd home, or even the lucky among us (like myself) to relocate to a more peaceful year round residence. Along with pristine shorelines and miles of hiking trails, Lake James offers you convenient access to the best of Western North Carolina. Call me and let's talk real estate.

We had the absolute best experience working with Marilyn on both selling our home and buying our new one. From day one, she got to know us and our style and always looked to make the process easier for us. We worked with Marilyn when we purchased our first home on Lake James and used her both as buyer agent for our new upgrade as well as seller agent for when we sold the original house purchased. On the selling side, Marilyn knew exactly how to price, market, and present our home to get the best results. Thanks to her expertise, we had tons of interest right away and were thrilled with the outcome. When it came time to buy, she listened closely to what we wanted, showed us great options, and ultimately helped us land the perfect home. She never pushes but has great local knowledge. She was always responsive, professional, and one step ahead aEUR" which gave us total confidence through every step. She genuinely cares about us, not just the transaction. We always felt like a priority, and she goes above and beyond to make sure everything is lined up. She gets people to help stage, the right details completed, and even helps clean and take down furniture herself if that is what it takes. We couldnt be happier and wouldnt hesitate to recommend Marilyn to anyone looking to buy or sell. Truly a five-star experience!

Marilyn did a phenomenal job in working with my husband and I to find a home in Morganton, NC for our family of four. She is very knowledgeable of the area and has a great network of professionals, including a loan officer, attorney, home insurance, and even a realtor to help us sell our current home in Houston, TX. She arranged all introductions which allowed for a smooth process for us to navigate remotely. Marilyn scheduled various virtual tours of homes during the process to find us the best options. She provided great advice and gave us confidence in the decision process. She even helped us after completing our purchase and we expect that she will continue to be a valuable resource to us and a great new neighbor for many years to come! Thank you, Marilyn, for everything you have done for our family!

Marilyn is exactly the type of realtor we were hoping to work with - friendly, diligent, fantastic communicator, tireless, and 100% looked out for our best interests. We had a previous realtor for the area in North Carolina we ultimately bought our house who made us feel she was in it for the commission, did not communicate well with us, etc. Marilyn is the complete opposite in that we truly felt every step of the way she had our best interest at heart with no pressure for us to buy. We looked at many places with Marilyn on multiple occassions and she helped us narrow down our wishlist. Once we found the house and decided to make an offer, she worked tirelessly in communicating with the seller's realtor many times, and helped us make a counter offer. Marilyn even facilitate the closely remotely for us with little effort on our part. Marilyn is a joy to work with and we 100% recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Marilyn was beyond an exceptional agent. She was always one step ahead of everything. Going above and beyond to make sure our first home was perfect for my family. Which made the whole process an absolute joy. She made my husband and I feel so at ease during the entire process. We are extremely grateful for her and all she did for us. We will continue to use her in the future if we ever needed to.
