“Marianne was the very definition of above and beyond, resulting in us getting several offers for our house that were well above the asking price” ~ Thayer and Scott Lund.
Marianne’s many 5-star reviews express what most clients want to know; She is knowledgeable, dedicated, professional and enthusiastic.
As a third generation Berkeley resident, helping clients become familiar with the different neighborhoods in the East Bay is one of her favorite aspects of being a realtor. There are so many special places and so much history to share with you.
Marianne’s first career was in education. She was an elementary school teacher for many years, eventually moving into administration and lastly as a consultant for an educational research company. If you have children now or are in the planning stages, she can help you decide what neighborhoods and schools are the best match for your family.
She transitioned into real estate in 2004 by starting a home staging and design company. Preparing homes for sale gave her an insider’s view of what it takes to sell an East Bay property. It was here that she honed her ability to price and sell at top dollar. If you are looking to sell, her design experience can help you maximize the potential of your home. She can support your home preparation whether your property needs a little sprucing up or something more comprehensive. She can help ensure that your home shows its best. If you are a buyer, she can help you see the untapped potential in homes and walk you through ways a house can be remodeled to meet your family’s needs.
