And as time passed, she proved to us, time and time again, that we chose the exact perfect person to help us buy a house. My wife and I were first time homebuyers, making the move from out of state, from California to Missouri. There was a lot of extra legwork on her part due to the fact that we were 2,000 miles away, and she was up to the challenge. She foresaw most issues before they even occurred. Recommended quality professionals in the area for all of our various needs. She fought for and advocated for what was best for us during the process. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of the area and market. And she was there to hold our hands and walk us thru every step of the process, as this was all very new to us and we had lots of questions. We absolutely could not have done it without her. If you are looking for a professional, knowledgeable, friendly, no-nonsense real estate agent in the St. Louis area, my wife and I would 100% recommend Marinka.

Marinka is the perfect blend of savvy realtor, outstanding marketer, and wonderful human. She…read morerecently sold my childhood home after only being on the market for 3 days. She also went out of her way to help my Croatian-born parents with filling out paperwork, which is obviously beyond her scope of duty but yet she happily offered. When my father fell ill which landed him in the hospital, Marinka worked with us to make sure all the papers could be signed in his hospital room on closing day. It was truly a flawless and stress-free transaction in every way. If you're looking for an empathetic realtor who's at the top of her game, Marinka is your woman. I can't imagine working with anyone else and I'd recommend her to anyone. As we say in Croatian: svaka čast, Marinka! Bravo on a job well-done.

We were buying a home from out of state, which made everything a bit more difficult not knowing the area. Kelly is extremely knowledgeable about the St. Louis market, and answered all of our questions day or night.

It all started when Karen helped my parents sell their house in less than a day…read more.. I reached out to her to see if she'd be willing to come take a look at our house and help us determine what repairs and upgrades we'd need to do to maximize our sale price while minimizing time on the market. She was happy to help and her advice was spot on. We procrastinated and took our time getting our various projects done (that's how we roll), but Karen didn't pressure us, just checked in every few months to see how we were doing, even offering to come back out for another look whenever we were ready. Did I mention our house was in High Ridge? Anyway, about a year after the first visit, we asked her to come back out. Karen helped us make a few more decisions, and we finally landed on a "we'd like to be on the market by this date" date. Once we made it official, Karen listed our house--the pictures were fantastic--and we accepted an offer just about a week after going live. Karen helped us through the negotiation and inspection process too, recommending some really great (and affordable!) companies to do the work. Meanwhile, as our buyer's agent, Karen was ever-so patient with us as we looked at a bunch of houses, then suddenly revised our budget and looked at some more, then suddenly switched target areas and looked at even more. The absolute best thing was how great she is at identifying potential issues. It was kind of like bringing a home inspector along to every showing! We found "the one", made an offer, haggled a bit and yada yada yada, here we are, a year later, in our perfect house in the perfect area. We just couldn't have done it without Karen's help and expertise. AH-MAZING.

There were multiple instances of details in the sale and closing that the other party's realtor was missing, and Karen caught them. That saved us time and money, and helped us to avoid headaches. Karen has a wide network of professionals to help you. From handymen to movers, she knows people to get you through the process of preparing your home for sale, listing it and closing the deal. This also applies to you buying your new home. I would recommend Karen to everyone I know!

Oh, and add that it's your first home and you're relocating from another state... what a time! Mark & Kim made this huge moment in our lives as seamless as possible. Mark made sure we were informed buyers by exposing us to the market and answering tons of questions along the way. Since we were relocating, I was driving from Indiana for the showings. Mark was always willing to fill our looking days with showings, which was very appreciated since I know most people don't see near as many houses. Given the very strong seller's market and low inventory, we had to submit a few offers before getting accepted. Mark always encouraged us to stay within our comfort zone when submitting offers. Ultimately, we ended up with a gorgeous home that checked every box, so it was well worth it. After going under contract for our home, Kim was our primary contact. With the many pieces involved in this part of the home buying process, I have no idea how people do it without an agent. Kim was on top of everything, we barely had to lift a finger. She also was readily available to answer questions, explain the process, and even give us insight to our new neighborhood. You can tell she loves helping people get into a new home! Our advice: Hire them. You're looking at their reviews. You see we are far from the first people to be extremely satisfied with their work. Promise, they are the real deal. We are so thankful for them, and already know we want to work with them in the future when the time comes to move on.
