"Marla not only found us our dream home but also helped us sell our home at a very challenging time (winter, pandemic, etc.). And she was a total pro, no matter what came up during the purchase or sale knew exactly how to manage the situation. Marla is great and I absolutely recommend her whether you are buying/selling or both."

"Marla was fantastic. Neither I nor my husband grew up on the North Shore, and she did a great job of helping us to understand the area. We spent over a year looking and she was patient, providing new listings and figuring out what our style was and what was important to us. When it came to negotiating our contract she was knowledgeable and professional and clearly had a good grasp of the contract and legal process. This was especially comforting because in my experience this is an important area where ALOT of realtors don’t really understand the legal language, steps, or RE law. I’m a commercial real estate broker, so I have a unique perspective as someone who deals with very sophisticated real estate contracts everyday. Lastly, Marla is just a fun person. We really enjoyed our tours - she makes the homebuying process painless and I would highly recommend her."

"Marla did a great job for us and represented Baird & Warner very well. Her market knowledge and guidance in the sales process provided that we made the right decision to engage her and Baird & Warner. Marla sold our Daughters home a few months ago and did a great job there as well. We got the recommendation to consider Marla from a retired broker friend who also used Marla to sell her home, so we knew "going in" what we were going to get. I've done commercial Real Estate all my life and would not ever want to represent myself for a home transaction and could not have asked for more with Marla representing us and our best interest."

"My husband and I were new to the area during the time that we were searching for a home. Marla not only helped us get familiar, but she truly looked out for our best interest every step of the way. If we walked into a house and she didn't feel it was right for us, she would tell us. It wasn't about a quick sale. She cared.
Marla was patient, informative, and worked hard to negotiate on our behalf. She was very responsive to all phone calls, emails and texts. We would recommend Marla Marcus to anyone in need of a real estate agent.

"marla was a wonderful agent and advocate for my house. she understood
that my home was unique and found a fantastic photographer that was
able to showcase all its special aspects. after i saw the photos, i wanted to
stay! she described the house perfectly and listed it in all the appropriate
categories to attract the best buyer.
marla negotiated two deals (the first one cancelled).
the house was sold and closed in very short order.
marla was a pleasure and delight; she was available but never intrusive and respected my timeline and my emotions.
i would recommend marla without any hesitation."
