Marie was able to make the deal happen for us. Very good customer service at anytime of the day. Very professional and experienced. Great negotiation skills on getting us the repair cost credits and closeout outstanding permit issues. Also went above and beyond with aligning with lenders, escrow and sellers. We would have not got the home if wasn't for her.

Marie was always available for us as sellers and we felt that selling our home was a top priority of hers. She also provided great communication at all stages of the transaction.

When my wife and I started looking for a house in the Portland area, we really didn't know what the market was like and where in the area to look. We were new transplants from California, and did not know much about the greater Portland area. We knew that this location was a very competitive market, with prime properties getting multiple offers. With such a hot real estate market we were concerned about find the right realtor. We wanted someone that would give us straight answers and someone who was honest. We did not want to be stuck with someone who was just looking to make a sale, and would push properties on us that were not right for us. We met Marie at one of her listings. At that point we had not finalized a realtor, and we were more interested in the property she was listing. Although we did not end up buying that property, we did get to chatting and Marie gave us some great information on the housing market, the loan approval process, and various types of "pre-approval" levels to get through before getting finally underwritten by a lender. Following our initial conversation we had a meeting in Marie's office where we talked about financing. Over the next few hours we talked about our finances and how much house we could afford. Before starting to look for houses we appreciated Marie taking the time to go through what our budget was, and how much we could pay. This way we wouldn't fall in love with a house that we could not afford. Over the next several months we looked at many houses in the greater Portland area and we could never find one that was perfect. Marie patiently guided us through multiple walkthroughs, offers, and counter-offers. There were moments of excitement when we went into new neighborhoods, anticipation when we were making an offer, and heartbreak when we were outbid. Through it all Marie was there, giving unfiltered advice about the house we were bidding on, giving us her analysis on the local market, and even cheering us up when we were outbid on house we loved. We really appreciated the fact that Marie never sugarcoated any of her advice. She told us what we needed to hear instead of what we wanted to hear. I have worked with realtors before, but this was something that I never experienced with my previous realtors. We finally ended up finding the home we were happy with, however we ended up hitting a new hiccup with respect to financing the purchase. Marie we above and beyond doing research and finding avenues we could pursue with our lenders to get the deal closed. We really felt like we had someone in our corner, to help us come out on top with a house, and due to Marie's efforts we were finally able to close on a home we were very happy with! I would recommend Marie Conser to anyone looking for a realtor who is honest, hard working, professional and dependable. She'll guide you through the entire process from start to finish, and she doesn't hesitate to tell you what you need to hear at the right time. You can't go wrong with Marie Conser! We certainly didn't.

We met Marie at an open house we visited. She was the first and only realtor that asked us more pointed questions what / where and when we were thinking of buying. We both like here personality and feedback about what we were looking for. When we told her we didn't have a realtor yet, she said she was interested to apply. She called a week later, when we were just pre-approved. It was for sure her pro-active approach that was a key factor for selecting Marie as our agent. We just loved working with Marie. She excelled in all of the above. I would for sure ask her again when we are ready to sell our house! Overall it was great and easy.

Marie is absolutely exceptional! She made possible the purchase of our first home in Portland. There wasn’t much inventory in our price range and it was really hard to find something we actually liked in the area we wanted to be in. Thanks to Marie, we ended up getting the best house, which was our most favorite one of all the ones we looked at! We quickly felt very comfortable around her and found it easy to just be ourselves. While we were house hunting, she sensed that we knew what we wanted and let us look around and do our thing, but always managed to point out some helpful detail that we had not thought about that we should consider. We are a one-car couple, which sometimes made meetings difficult, but Marie came to the rescue giving me a ride on several occasions even though it was out of her way and during the busy spring real estate season. Her tenacity was utterly essential when it came to repair negotiations. She vigilantly argued our case and got everything we wanted taken care of by the sellers. She also scheduled and stayed on top of all of the repair work, including a very troublesome roof repair that went right up to the deadline. She even went above and beyond, researching Oregon landlord/tenant law to find a solution to get us out of our rental that saved us a lot of money. As an over-achiever and perfectionist, I rarely ever feel satisfied with any service experience, but Marie exceeded my expectations, managing the process with exactly the kind of attention to detail and organization that I admire. She thoroughly impressed me! She is professional, knowledgeable, ethical and just genuinely pleasant to be around. We feel that not only have we found our forever agent that we will always use, but also a friend. Buying a house is inherently stressful; you need an experienced ally like Marie by your side!

Marie and I connected on the referral of a colleague of mine, and we immediately hit it off. The timeline from when I first started looking for a home and ultimately finding my house and completing the transaction was about seven months. Marie was extremely patient and understanding throughout the entire process. When it was time to take a break from looking, she understood completely and didn't push me. When it was time to get back into it, she was right there ready to go. Marie's negotiating style is very collaborative and solutions-oriented, which I believe helped us get through the repair addennda back-and-forth very quickly and easily. Throughout the entire process, Marie attended to every detail with precision and accuracy. Best of all, she communicated with me exactly the correct amount - not too much, not too little. I would recommend working with Marie to anyone that wants to be helped through their home purchase by a kind and strong professional. Thank you Marie!!!!

From the very first meeting, Marie was professional and thorough. She immediately put us at ease. She proved herself to be extremely knowledgeable about the process. Everything was transparent and she did an excellent job of keeping us on track and organized. Marie was a joy to work with. She made the process easy and enjoyable.

Marie Conser quickly identified my needs and respected the type of person I am. I needed time and understanding, and that is exactly what Marie gave me. I truly appreciated her professionalism and patience with me, first time buyer.

We would definitely recommend Marie Conser. What a great experience! This was our first selling of a home in the USA and we really felt the agent knew her business. She always came with very helpful information and explained her process in a way that definitely showed her expertise in real estate. Super responsive as if you are her only client! Very friendly and professional. Very positive and helpful. Thanks Marie for helping us selling our house .

Before we met Marie Conser, we were looking for a house for more than a year. We were following all houses online (zillow etc.) almost everyday, and we checked many houses, but we could not find anything. The main reason was that we were very picky on many things. Marie understood our needs and recommended houses accordingly. Two of the houses she strongly recommended to us were the only two houses we really liked in the past 1+ year, and eventually we bought one of those. The interesting thing is that we actually saw these two houses online, before Marie recommended those, but we had eliminated them for several reasons and we had not even gone to see those places. But, Marie politely insisted that we should see them, and as soon as we saw we liked both. Frankly, we were about to lose our hope finding any house, and Marie changed this! She is very professional on every step of the process, and I believe she is particularly very good in understanding people's needs.Thanks again!
