We feel ourself fortunate that we met Marina at one of the listed property. Based on our conversation with her, we found she has a good knowledge on homes and can really help us buying home for us being first time home buyer with no to minimal knowledge on things to check in the house, buying process etc. She worked with us understanding our requirements, visited multiple homes with us and mentioned all the pros and cons she saw in every home transparently. When we finalized on the home we finally bought, she helped us in making sure we understand the process and kept us up to date on our next steps. She also went beyond her expected responsibilities to follow up on our behalf and also shared contractors information for some upgrades we wanted to do in home. Marina has been really a friend than a realtor. I really recommend her for everyone who is on their home buying journey. 2023
It was an absolute delight working with Marina in selling our home. She was attentive in every aspect and guided us through the selling process. She was always available to us and responded quickly to our questions and concerns. I highly recommend Marina as your agent and would have used her to buy a home if we had stayed in the area. 2023
This was the fourth property I've sold and I can say far and away it was the best realtor experience. Marina was extremely professional - she has a great attention to detail, is highly client-focused, and is trustworthy - all elements that were put to the test during our recent sale of our existing home and purchase of new home. From the onset she provided detailed market pricing data (which appealed to me as an engineer), depth of knowledge of existing properties, and flexibility in accommodating our wishes for initial searches. Once we got serious about making an offer, Marina was an easy choice to help navigate the process.
When we submitted an offer, we were met with an aggressive timeline in order to secure offer acceptance on the property. Marina acted with extreme urgency in helping us list our property and she used her internal network to line up advance viewings. Because of her efforts, we secured an offer the initial day we listed our property. Over the course of the next few weeks, she was instrumental in helping us navigate a complicated contingency sale and her responsiveness and straightforward approach kept us calm throughout the process.
She is a firm but fair negotiator which allowed us to secure a deal on both ends which was no small task. Her attention to detail was critical in ensuring nothing was missed to satisfy us, our buyers, and the sellers of the home we were buying.
In summary, Marina did an outstanding job and I would refer her to anyone looking to purchase a home. She earned 100% of her commission and went above and beyond the scope of realtors in my prior experience. She was especially accommodating in coordinating around my and my wife's busy schedules. 6 out of 5 stars! 2022
As a first-time home buyer, I couldn't have been happier working with Marina. She was proactive in finding properties that checked the boxes my family wanted and never pushed us to sign up for something we weren't sure about. Marina provided us with the knowledge and experience to make informed decisions. After a few months of searching, we found the home for us and Marina was diligent in making sure we hit all the necessary deadlines to close, which we are especially grateful for given the current housing market.
The biggest testament to Marina's professionalism came a month after we had already closed the deal. While we were moving into the home, we found one of our plumbing lines had sprung a leak. Unfortunately, the warranty company had denied our claim for coverage and it looked like we were going to have to repair the issue out of our own pockets. Marina took it upon herself, going above and beyond, to reach out to her contact at the warranty company, who forwarded our case to upper management and overturned their decision, covering 100% of the cost. I was blown away by such an amazing effort and she continues to check in with us to make sure everything is still running smoothly.
Thank you Marina. I look forward to working with you on the next home as our family grows. 2021
Let me start of by saying that Marina Macartney is the best realtor out there. During this heated market she managed to get us an amazing house in laguna hills and help have our offer accepted out of many others. If you are looking for someone who cares, follows up, encourages, and is honest with you marina is the one for you. We appreciate all that she has done for us and have and will refer her to all of our friends and family because she truly is the best. Thanks again marina for all your help! 2021
Marina was incredible from start to finish. She is extremely professional, yet also enjoyable to be around, she's extremely knowledgable and handled everything with grace. She is honestly so peaceful to be around and she communicates clearly on every little detail.
Marina helped us sell our home and helped us purchase our new home. She truly went above and beyond for us in every way! We definitely love the home we are in, but if we choose to sell / buy again we will definitely be calling her! 2021
Marina is an outstanding realtor. She totally exceeded our expectations and found a beautiful home for us that we were absolutely thrilled about when we stepped in after the purchase. Moreover, she was able to work with us virtually due to a long distance move and the pandemic; however, we had full confidence in buying as if we were literally there due to the amount of time and effort she put in on our behalf.
There are a number of reasons why I would give Marina my highest recommendation as a realtor. She has the perfect balance of presenting an unbiased view of the property while at the same time providing her thoughts and experience where needed. This is critical for a buyer in developing his or her view of the house while still being supported by her immense experience as a realtor. Additionally, her attention to detail is truly unparalleled. She can see small imperfections or note possible large future restoration projects with a trained eye that other realtors might miss. These little details certainly add up when considering the ultimate value of a home. Further, she is also cognizant of the surrounding amenities of the property and neighborhood that are integral in choosing the right home.
Perhaps most importantly, Marina has a passion to ensure that you, as the buyer, will love the home you buy from the moment you set foot inside. To that end, she keeps a organized list of repairs, upgrades, and improvements that can be performed prior to or immediately after closing. She is supportive of your requests and communicates extremely well with all parties involved in the purchase to make your dream home a reality. When you have your new keys in hand, you will be extremely grateful to have had Marina as your realtor! 2020
