"The minute Marisa walked into our home, she knew exactly what to do!"
“She went from room to room and staged each one. I lived in the home for 8 years and would never be able to do what she did in 2 hours! She added pieces of her own, (a couple of gorgeous lamps that I fell in LOVE with and ended up purchasing) and worked with what we had to create this masterpiece that was magazine worthy! We got an offer the first day on the market! She has an eye for design and can help any individual who needs to sell their home… or just fall in love with it once again!”

"Wonderful sense of style, is efficient, effective and thoughtful"
"As a listing agent, I often think to myself, 'How am I going to get this house ready for the market in a timely manner without overwhelming the owner?' Today with HGTV influencing our buyers, they expect to walk into a 'camera ready' property. Unfortunately, few of us actually live that way. This is when I call Marisa. She is a wizard at preparing properties for the photographer and the market. She has a wonderful sense of style, is efficient, effective and thoughtful about getting everything done while working closely and comfortably with the owners. Everyone is pleased with the end result, especially the owners when their property sells more quickly than they thought possible."

"Ability to transform something ordinary into something special"
"Photography is so critically important to the sale of any home. Whether in a brochure or series of images online, my job is to capture the best a house has to offer. Sometimes, when a house is too closed in with clutter and/or lacks style, the photos don’t show the home’s true value. Then Marisa works her magic. She is able to transform a space, so that my photos exemplify the best physical aspects of the room as well as how the space feels. This is what attracts buyers. Her ability to transform something ordinary into something special helps me do my job well. She is also a pleasure to work with!"

"Makes selling magic out of the most lived-in spaces"
“Marisa Marks has been a critical part of my successful selling team. She has a no-nonsense approach to editing a home, so it can be shown in its best light. Marisa enhances a home, paring it down for a buyer’s view. She does this with a combination of keen organizational skills, a selection of the seller’s furnishings and strategically purchased items. This draws more attention to the home, rather than the personality of its owners.
Marisa gets into the trenches and makes selling magic out of the most lived-in spaces and shows how they best can be utilized by the next owner. Give Marisa the alone time she needs to bring her vision to fruition with hands-on skills that rival any team.
For me, as a seller’s agent, Marisa Marks is a MUST for all my clients who understand the new culture of selling homes.”

"We were thrilled to say the least!"
“Our house was not even on the market one day when we got a great first offer, which we accepted!
This was in no small part due to Marisa’s genius.
She instantly knew what to do and brought lovely decor to enhance our home. We were thrilled to say the least!”
