I've looked at all these reviews and there was one where someone said she is a "pit bull with…read morelipstick" and, honestly, that sums her up. Marianne is so knowledgeable, hardworking, and will fight to the end of the earth for her clients. She also deeply cares for the people she represents. I know she's working in my best interest always. She handled the sale of my mom's home that was within a trust, out of the area, and filled with two generations of stuff. I was an emotional wreck and she came in and guided me through it all. We got over asking, all cash deal within 10 days of going to market. Above and beyond work every day -- from clean up, to prep, to staging, to marketing, to negotiating. I'm just so fortunate to have had Marianne represent me. I can't emphasize enough how hard the whole selling decision was for me. She was patient, we explored various options together. When we ultimately decided the right decision was to sell, she sprang into action and got it done quickly so I could move on from a heartbreaking situation. Her style is uniquely hers. There's no bullshit. Marianne is going to tell it to you straight, but I personally wouldn't want it any other way. I can't say enough great things about Marianne!!! Hire her; you won't regret it.

My husband and I are first time landlords and despite not having a background in real estate, we…read moretried to manage our property ourselves. Everything was fine until the tenant stopped paying, and anyone who has dealt with these issues knows how stressful it can be. Lost and extremely frustrated, I called Marianne after doing some research on Yelp. Marianne was completely calm, confident, and professional. She quickly gathered basic information about us, the property, and the tenant. She informed us that she will be taking over and assured us that we will regain possession of the property. By that evening she had already sent over all the necessary DocuSign's and within the next couple days she was negotiating with the tenant on our behalf. Removing tenants for non-payment is devastating for both parties, so Marianne was firm, but also kind and compassionate. She was able to repossess the home within 15 days, without having to go through the process of an eviction, which was our goal from the beginning. Communication was always very quick, clear, and concise. My husband and I had so many questions since it was our first time going through something like this. She has a very extensive knowledge of real estate, the laws involved, and in general how tenants tend to behave, but she was also very patient and thorough when advising us. As someone that runs her own business and manages 100+ properties, Marianne is obviously a very busy person. I expected her staff to communicate with us after the tenant vacated the property. However, Marianne was our point of contact the entire time, which was very impressive. Marianne did not collect a penny from us during the entire tenant removal process, which really speaks to her confidence in her abilities as a property manager and her generosity as well. She is also well connected in the real estate space as all the references she provided to prepare the property for the next tenant were excellent. Our home was on the market for less than 2 weeks when she presented 2 solid potential tenants. Given how smoothly everything went up until this point, we were completely confident in letting her decide which tenant would suit us best. When we finally got to meet her in person, she told us that she takes care of all her properties like they are her own and after witnessing her work, it's clear that the service she provides is a direct reflection of her genuine passion for real estate and helping people. If you are looking to rent out your property, we absolutely recommend working with a property management group, but specifically, Marianne. Thank you Marianne. We appreciate everything that you have done for us, and we look forward to working with you for a long time!

We desperately needed a property manager to handle our rental property, after 2 years of being in distress. Lo and behold, my mom and I found Jennifer Diaz with exemplary reviews when she searched on the internet. I had a gut feeling that she was the one! Since then, she has truly been heaven-sent. She possesses the qualities of a great Property Manager for she is very knowledgeable of real estate property laws, hard-working, assertive, patient, conscientious, quick in responding to my inquiries, exuding grace under fire in times of stressful situation, and her negotiation skills are awesome. Her professionalism shows how much she cares in every aspect of her job. She is a miracle worker and has results-oriented mindset.

Having someone you can rely and trust for she values transparency is a rare find. The extra mile she will do for you is amazing.

We hired Rick to sell our home and Shelby to represent us to buy a home and they went above and beyond, which to them is probably just "doing their job" but to us as the clients, the process can be scary. We hit a snag in the process with our initial buyer having to pull out of contract for medical reasons, We were terrified to say the least! We were already in contract to buy another home! But both Rick and Shelby assured us that things would work out, always keeping calm and letting us know they had a plan A, B, C & if needed a plan D! It all came together and we closed on the sell of our home and closed on the purchase of another home all within 24hours from eachother! Who does that!?!? :) Rick never once made us feel alone going through this process and that's what i appreciated the most! always answering our calls and texts- we had conference calls at least once a week, what he likes to call "Monday check-ins" and we totally appreciated that! Shelby always took the time to check in with us, sending us endless listing, once we found our "dream home" she worked relentless and remained cool and calm the whole time! I probably texted Shelby over 500 times during this process and she responded each and every time with confidence and professionalism! Thank you Shelby, you Rock! If you're looking for a professional and open-book realtors- contact Rick and Shelby! You wont be disappointed!
