Working with Marilyn was a dream! She was so knowledgeable, supportive and available to answer questions big and small. We are a military family and were located out of state... read more trying to buy a home in the midst of a pandemic and crazy housing market, yet we felt confident that we’d find a home in no small part because we had a great realtor. We were so appreciative of the time and effort Marilyn put in to finding our dream home. She visited houses, took videos, talked with lenders, and coached us through the process every step of the way. We were truly thankful for her appreciation for our needs and vision. She never tried to push us over budget or sugar coat issues, and when fell into letting our hearts rule our heads she helped ground us. I would HIGHLY recommend Marilyn for anyone looking to buy a home, especially military families! Not only did she offer guidance for buying our home but also stepped up and shared her knowledge about navigating military demands, and has continued to be a friend and part of our community even though we are done with home buying.
March 9, 2022It was our distinct pleasure to have had Marilyn Richesin as our realtor when searching for our new home in Kitsap County, WA. We met Marilyn by happenstance when... read more we were driving by a property that was listed on realtor.com. She was there to video tour the home for her buyer. We asked if we could see the (vacant) property when she was finished, and after a split-second pause she said, “Absolutely!” Some things just “click” instantly, and one knows when serendipity has created a connection meant to be! Being new to Washington State, and not knowing if we were going to land here, Marilyn asked great questions about what we were looking for and pledged to be our representative when we were closer to being in the right space to begin looking in earnest. Great follow-up, but no pressure. Her enthusiasm for her work and desire to find the perfect home for her buyer never waned. In fact, when what we thought might be “the one” turned out not to be, Marilyn got right back to the task of finding that home that ticked all the right boxes…and did so within hours. We made an offer on a different house which was accepted just 36 hours later! We have landed in a nice home in a lovely community, ready to start a new life chapter. Marilyn is well-connected in the Real Estate community of Kitsap County and suggested a truly outstanding Loan Officer (who pre-approved us earlier in the search) and who closed escrow in five weeks. She also recommended a very thorough home inspector and a great house painter. We are so grateful to have met Marilyn, and now consider her a very special friend. She is passionate about her work and loves to make her clients happy and satisfied with their home buying experience. We trust that she maintains this professional, yet personal manner with her sellers as well. You won’t be disappointed! Darcy & David S.

December 11, 2022I had a wonderful and fruitful experience with Marilyn. We had been talking about my move for well over a year before we actually met and seriously began looking at... read more properties. Marilyn listened to my situation and needs. She knows her market well and it was enjoyable hunting with her. She is a clear and capable negotiator and I believe always looked out for my best interests. She was always responsive with questions and giving me information about the area and specific homes. No question I would work with Marilyn again and while I am very happy with my new home I am happy to give her my absolute recommendation.

This was the first home we’ve sold and Marilyn made the process extremely easy for us! She is amazing to work with and does everything she can to make the selling process go smoothly. She has gone over and beyond for us and I couldn’t be more thankful for her!

Marilyn is amazing! She helped us find a nice place within 2-3 weeks of meeting her. Helped us through every step of buying a home, inspection, closing, and even after. Very responsive and resourceful 10/10. She goes above and beyond and helped us through it all!

Marilyn was our buyers agent and our sellers agent. On our purchase, she did not give up and worked to find us our perfect place. On the sale of our home, she used innovative strategies and we received multiple offers and sold our home for over list price. We could not have had a better agent working for us.

Marilyn and her staff were super helpful for us to finally find our home. Communication with her as well as the purchasing process was very smooth. From across the country and around the world, she helped us make a decision on the property by making her informative walk thru videos. I highly recommend working with her and her staff.

My husband and I recently moved from the east coast and was looking for a home in the Port Orchard area. We met Marilyn during a visit at an open house. She represented the owner and gave us a tour of the property and answered all our questions. Although that house wasn’t quite for us, we instantly realized that we wanted Marilyn as our real estate agent. We were so glad we did. She helped us narrow down from all the houses we saw and she was so helpful with our decision. She was not only responsive to every phone call made to her, she went above and beyond her responsibility by recommending local individuals for services we needed. She welcomed us to Washington and became an instant friend during and after the process of purchasing our new home.

Marilyn was kind and understanding when we first met at a showing. she took the time to learn what I needed when I really could not articulate all that well what I expected from a home buying experience. She was willing to meet me to look at prospective places even when we both knew it would not be a candidate for a second look. She let me take the time to research and show her the kind of Mid Century Modern/farmhouse architecture I connected to. Marilyn is extremely well versed in real estate regulations, the buying and selling process, what a client can expect, which lenders are the best to work with, what tools her clients will need to get through to closing. Marilyn is a consummate professional in business and follows through with every aspect of service. always with an honest reply and a great smile.

Marilyn is so wonderful at her job! From day 1 I felt as if we were old friends. She was very responsive and welcoming when messaging me about our needs when looking for a home. We were moving out of state and she did everything in her power to find us a smart-choice for our first home, ESPECIALLY in the current market. Her charisma has also allowed her to make many lasting networks which also benefited our home buying process from advice from other agents to wonderful connections to loan officers. Marilyn is a one-stop-shop to get all of your home buying needs met. Not to mention just the wonderful, fun human she is! Thank you Marilyn!! We cannot picture this process without you!

Marilyn was amazing to work with the moment we asked her to help us sell our house. She was there through every step of the process and assured that everything went smoothly. I couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent. We will use her again in the future and will continue to recommend her services to our friends and family.

Marilyn was amazing, she really helped us and looked out for us!! She not only was our agent but became a good friend of ours. Such a sweet soul and would definitely recommend her services. Anyone who has her as their agent is very lucky!!
