"My family and I were moving to the area from out of state and my wife and I flew into town on a Sunday morning for a short house-hunting trip. Our original intention was to scope out and find a house to rent on our own, but within a few short hours, we quickly discovered that the rental market was not to our liking. A friend of ours had mentioned previously that if we needed a realtor she knew of a great one that could help us. That same Sunday evening, we called Marguerite for the first time and introduced ourselves. We told her we needed help finding a house to buy but that we only had three days to work with as we were leaving town on Thursday. What Marguerite did for us was amazing! She listened carefully to what it was we were looking for in a house and over the course of three days showed us everything we wanted to see and provided valuable insight into our purchasing decision. She even helped set us up with a mortgage lender to get us pre-qualified on Tuesday morning. By Wednesday evening we had an offer drawn up and we were on our way back home. Over the course of the next few weeks, Marguerite was awesome in working with us remotely to get everything done and we closed in about 30 days. We couldn't be more pleased and we can't recommend Marguerite and her Windermere team enough!"

"Margureite made my first home buying expereince easy, quick, painless, and educational. She made sure I was aware of everything I needed, even if it may cost her a sale. By making me feel secure in all aspects of the purchase, she made me feel confident moving forward in each step. With some of the obstacles I faced, I am not sure I would have not moved forward with purchasing a house with out Marguerites help."

"Marguerite is an absolute professional with internet outreach and social media. We are moving to the Tacoma area from across the country, and upon beginning our search for information about the Tacoma real estate market we very quickly found Marguerite's website (www.movetotacoma.com).
Marguerite's fantastic website, videos, podcasts, and blog posts made us very excited about moving to the area and made us very comfortable with choosing Marguerite as our realtor because of her extremely user-friendly demeanor and her extensive knowledge of the Tacoma real estate market. They also gave us enough knowledge to comfortably provide Marguerite with neighborhood preferences without ever having set foot in the area.
Immediately upon contacting Marguerite with some initial questions, she made herself very easily accessible to answer all of our questions and address our concerns. She talked us through the buying process during multiple conversations on Facetime and made us very comfortable with making a home purchase from across the country.
My wife and traveled to the area over July 4th weekend to look at homes, and Marguerite dedicated multiple hours of everyday on a holiday weekend to ensure our needs were met. On the first day of shopping we did 12 showings in 4 hours and put an offer in on a home. Marguerite did a fantastic job of researching comparable properties and discussing our options to help us make a strong offer that got us the house over other buyers. The day after our offer was accepted, Marguerite arranged for us to take measurements of the home to facilitate our travel arrangements.
After my wife and I traveled back home, Marguerite facilitated the entire closing process through correspondence and helped to work through concerns from our lenders. Because we could not be present for our home inspection, Marguerite was at the house while on Facetime with my wife to ensure that we could communicate with the inspector and that we were satisfied with the service. After closing, my wife and I learned that our moving dates changed slightly, so Marguerite accepted the keys on our behalf and has assisted us tremendously with ensuring that the house is well taken care of before we are able to move in.
We are so happy to have found and chosen Marguerite as our realtor. She is such an unbelievable help for first time buyers and people relocating to the area. We owe her so much for the assistance she provided to our family, and we will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone relocating to the Tacoma area."

"i began my search for a home about 6 months ago during my military deployment. I was referred to Marguerite by a friend of mine and I sent her an email breaking down my timeline and what I as looking for. She replied immediately and sent me some really great resources and videos on the entire home buying process. This greatly clarified a lot of my questions and helped me get the process going. She then set up an auto search of all the areas I was interested in and I spent the remainder of my deployment saving locations to look at. During the entire time Marguerite was always extra helpful and quick to give me feedback. As soon as I got back to Washington I met up with Marguerite and she helped me plan my strategy on what to look for as we started looking. I really appreciated her energy and passion for real estate. She truly believes in the process and is all about protecting her clients. She was always very honest about every property and I never felt rushed or pressured during the process. We took our time and waited on the market and when we finally found the property I wanted she worked extremely fast to get the paperwork going and always ensured that I got exactly what I requested from the sellers. She was very knowledgable of the Tacoma area and even gave recommendations of local businesses in the neighborhood that she liked. She was always available for a showing regardless of weekday or weekend. I can honestly say with absolute sincerity you will not find a better Realtor in the Tacoma area."

"We honestly cannot recommend Marguerite highly enough if you are planning to buy a home in Tacoma. From the moment we contacted Marguerite to the day we walked through the front door of our awesome new house, there was never a moment where we didn't feel like she was by our side.
What makes working with Marguerite so rad?
First, she's so knowledgeable about Tacoma's real estate market and the home buying process. We never felt out of the loop or unclear about what was going on. That said, she was very careful to never override or overload us with her huge brain. We were in charge of our search.
Second, Marguerite works hard. Like, really hard. We never had to ask twice about anything. We never had to wait more than a few hours for a response; never once felt like we were an afterthought.
Third, we had a blast. Buying a house is serious stuff. Our process was never fraught, overloaded or overly serious. Even when there was bad news to share, Marguerite kept us moving towards the positive.
If you are planning to buy a home in Tacoma, your first stop needs to be a conversation with Marguerite."

"Working with Marguerite was a true pleasure. My needs were a bit out there as I was trying to decide between a fixer that I'd pay cash for and something I'd finance that was completely redone. Marguerite wasn't thrown off by the completely contrasting needs and was able to help me find the right place for me. She was able to make the deal go through and did what it took to get the sale closed even when problems popped up from the seller last minute. Most important to me Marguerite knows the area and helped me work through which areas would work best for me and my unique needs.
Most important though, Marguerite was available when the perfect house popped onto the market and made it a priority to go see it. Not all agents would be as available and thanks to her willingness to fit me into her schedule I was able to get the house despite multiple offers."

"Marguerite knows the downtown Tacoma market. She helped me to understand all aspects of buying a condo in this market. She assessed my needs very quickly and showed me relevant properties. I highly recommend Marguerite if you are in the market. An internet search of Marguerite will bring up many informative videos on youtube that she has put together to educate people on the home buying experience. They were very helpful to me in my search."

"My husband and I had just moved to Tacoma from Chicago and rented first to get the lay of the land and figure out where we really wanted to be. After a while we decided we LOVED it here and started to think about buying...but we weren't ready quite yet.
I reached out to Marguerite basically saying "not ready to buy but looking for information". I expected her to either delete my email or laugh and laugh and tell me to check back in when I was serious. Much to my surprise and delight she wrote back saying she would love to chat and fill me in on Tacoma!
We met and she gave me so much knowledge and information without ever being pushy or presury (which I realize isn't a word :) I emailed her a few days later saying we were going to wait another year... She wrote back immediately with positivity and kind words.
A few months went by and my husband and I decided we wanted to speed the process up rather than wait like we intended. We reached back out and Marguerite was ready to help. We figured out budget, location, needs etc etc and started searching! Not too much later we found the perfect house and got things rolling.
Throughout the whole process she was available and kept our heads on straight and made us feel so comfortable. I have heard horror stories about buying a home and I can (happily) say it was one of the easiest things we have ever done... It helps when you work with someone awesome who "gets it".
I cannot recommend her enough!!"

"We required an energetic broker that shared the same affection for the North End that we had that would take the time to explain all the nuances of home buying at our pace. Marguerite is that person. She will be our broker for our next home purchase. Highly recommend."

"We went through a few Yelp reviews to get the search for a realator started and Marguerite had the top marks! Plus the pictures were hilarious.
She was with us each step of the way - breaking down the processes, the reasons behind each action that needed to be taken and the timelines of everything we worked on.
She checked in with us almost every day just to see if we had any questions and to see how we were feeling about the process/which ever step we were on. That was so much appreciated - of course we were nervous first time home buyers.
It was so much fun to work with Marguerite - he sense of humor, job knowledge and knowing the ins and outs of Tacoma made buying our first house a lot less stressful than we ever anticipated. We highly recommend her!"
