Marissa Atkinson

Marissa’s family is the center of her life. She believes that many people feel the same way about their own families. For her, protecting and providing for them is a top priority, which often requires thoughtful planning for the future. She and her partner envisioned a lifestyle for their children that they hadn’t yet experienced themselves, and they knew they’d need a yard for the dogs they didn’t yet have. She sees a roof over one’s head as a basic necessity—something everyone deserves. To Marissa, homeownership is more than just having a place to live; it’s a way to bring a family closer together, allowing each member to shape the space to reflect their values, tastes, and personalities. Now, twelve years later, Marissa still says with heartfelt conviction, “There’s no place like home.”
