About the Listing Agent
A typical day for Marshall Walker, Broker/Owner Marshall Walker of Marshall Walker Real Estate, can involve anything from selling homes to running meetings to...mowing lawns?
"It's important to take care of details, even the ones that you don't normally see real estate agents taking care of," Walker says. "One Sunday, a buyer client pulled up to his new home in a moving van and found me mowing the lawn! I just wanted the new owner to be happy."
