DC home buyer wins big with Marjorie's "unmatched negotiation skills"

Success Story: Unmatched Negotiation Skills

I was aware of Marjorie’s reputation in the community as the neighborhood expert after seeing her, and her marketing materials around town for some time. She’s very active in the neighborhood and also very involved on the local email Listserv, so we had often crossed paths. Marjorie always provides recommendations for all sorts of contractors to the members of the community Listserv. The great contacts in her network are a real value and she is quick to share these resources freely.

I knew working with Marjorie was the right decision when she allowed us to let us “try her on for size” as an agent before even hiring her. The combination of Marjorie’s network, experience and her negotiation skills are unmatched. We had a great experience when buying our new home. She knows her stuff, and she follows through.

Due to our circumstances, we wouldn’t be able to close on the new house until months later. So, Marjorie proposed an extended closing on the home. We would never even have settled on the contract if it weren’t for Marjorie. Marjorie was clearly the standout agent during the process, providing solutions every step of the way, especially during the negotiations with the homeowner’s agent. She even guided the other agent at times with some of the legal language to ensure the seller was content with our offer. Marjorie was the catalyst in advancing negotiations and solving any situation that cropped up.

We also used the contractors that Marjorie recommended along the way for inspections and, now that we’ve closed on our new home, for repairs. They were all very efficient and got the job done right. The roofer who did the inspection even followed up to check that repairs had been completed.

When people are looking to buy or sell their home in the DC area, there’s only one agent we recommend. In fact, our friends are actually moving into town and we’ve already recommended that they hire Marjorie to help them buy their home.

When it comes to buying or selling a home, if you want to get things done properly and smoothly you can’t go wrong with Marjorie.
