While thrilling, a big move can also be one of life’s biggest stressors. I can’t promise to make the stress of moving magically disappear, but my clients appreciate that I am a beacon of light through an often emotion-filled process. Helping people I care about achieve their dreams is what drives me! I bring to the table years of knowledge and experience, with a caring and steadfast approach. With a marketing background and a keen eye for design, I know how to position homes to maximize my seller clients’ return. A Triangle native raised in a family of Realtors, I have an innate understanding of our vibrant market. I bring positive energy and skilled negotiation to every transaction. My clients appreciate my empathic communication, calm guidance, and skillful negotiation, which makes the process smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. I will be in your corner, and hope to have a little fun along the way!

“As first-time home buyers, we were grateful for Marie's expertise, support, and guidance throughout the entire process. Marie not only appreciates the historic charm and beautiful architecture in the Durham area but also understands the nuances of each neighborhood. Marie took the time to get to know us and our preferences, ensuring that she showed us properties that aligned with our vision. Marie's extensive network of top-tier vendors streamlined the process, making it easier for us to navigate the complexities of home buying. Overall, we cannot recommend Marie highly enough.”

“10/10 recommend Marie to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Triangle, and especially Durham. As a Durham native, she really understands the local market, and she has an impeccable eye for quality and design. But more importantly, she really cares about each of her clients’ needs/wants and keeps those front and center for the entire buying and/or selling process. Recently, she helped us find and make the winning offer on the perfect home for our family, and then turned around and got our old house under contract (now sold!) with an offer that was beyond our wildest hopes. We continue to feel like we hit the jackpot with Marie as our realtor. She knows what she’s doing, and she does it with love!”

“I don't know where to start. There are so many great things about Marie! As a first time home buyer I felt MORE than taken care of in Marie's hands. She went out of her way to make herself available to me for showings- even around the holiday season. She never left any task undone or any question unanswered. I can say for certain I would not be in my new home if it were not for Marie. Even after moving in she has been a sounding board for recommendations of all kinds. Marie is a true gem - don't pass up the opportunity to work with the best!”

Recently we decided to sell our house of 35 years and move to another city. We were pessimistic about selling – unnerved over the decisions in updating and repairing our current home, and very uncomfortable with the ROI and ultimate value. We would be far away through all of this, having to delegate the work and decisions. We chose Marie for her track record, her professionalism, her realistic and honest discussions with us, her vision for innovative approaches to marketing, and for her empathy for the pressures we were under. The Realtor and the person together made it an easy choice.

“I was scared about the home-buying process until we met Marie. Not only is Marie extremely knowledgeable and responsive, but she also genuinely cares about (and seems to really enjoy) her job, which makes all of the difference. Marie met us with expertise, patience, and enthusiasm, and helped us immensely in navigating this wild market. It meant the world that we could go about this process with confidence, knowing that I could trust Marie's input and that Marie "got" us. I could not have asked for a better experience.”
