Marilyn made buying our beach house possible. Buying a short sale property can be tricky, but we knew through all the ups and downs that if ANYONE could make our deal go through, it was Marilyn. She kept working on our behalf when lots of agents would have given up. She always kept her cool, her wits, and best of all, her sense of humor! We will continue to recommend her to anyone who wants a GREAT agent.

As an ex-real estate agent, I know what to look for in a Realtor. It's not the sharp clothes, the firm grip or the gregarious smile, though these things are nice in and of themselves. No, what really counts is a Realtor who will do what they say they will do, be there when they say they will be there, and negotiate in your favor. Marilyn did all these things for my wife and me, and I'm sure she will for you too. She's just like that.

It has been a pleasure working with Marilyn Dashe. She went above and beyond the call of duty to insure that we were able to sell our home for the best price and to flex her work schedule to accommodate our very hectic and unpredictable lifestyle. She gave us reason to have complete confidence that our wishes were strictly adhered to in the negotiation process with prospective buyers, and demonstrated a character of integrity and honesty that is often lacking in today’s world of real estate.

Recently, my wife and I sold our condo and purchased another. We interviewed several agents and chose Marilyn Dashe. From the time we listed with Marilyn, she was a dynamo. I have seen persistent agents before but noe as positive and tenacious as Marilyn. She was the driving force in our buying and selling.

It was a pleasure to work with Marilyn Dashe who is a diligent and conscientious real estate agent in this unstable San Diego market. She was enthusiastic and professional in her presentation and followed every possible lead. We were able to close the sale swiftly and were able to transfer the home to someone who really will enjoy it.

If you are looking for an agent who takes the time to listen to your needs, protects your interests, and acts promptly and efficiently, Marilyn Dashe is for you. Marilyn was great with the purchase of my first home. She addressed all of my concerns, worked expediently with my lender, and was in contact with me daily. I could not have asked for anything more.

It was effortless working with Marilyn. She is very patient, responsive, and communicative. She kept me completely at ease and informed at every step of the process. It has made all the difference to me as a first-time buyer. She took the time to understand my likes and dislikes, and she acted promptly. Her diligence on my behalf both in terms of screening properties as well as during escrow has made the entire experience too easy to be real.

Several years ago when the San Diego real estate market was running out of control hot, I thought being a real estate agent was a cake job. You list a house, it gets multiple offers above the asking price in the first day or two, and you close the deal in a few weeks. You repeat this a few times a week and you don't know what to do with all the commissions for doing very little work. Well the current market and Marilyn changed my view. Today's market both in terms of what the sellers think their home is worth and the lending institutions hurting from their previous cavelier lending practices has resulted in a much tougher market in which to buy a house.
I only have good things to say about Marilyn as an agent and a person. If you knew me, you would understand that this is a significant statement. After we spoke initially to communicate what my needs and wants were in a house Marilyn started the process. During our first few home visits she pressed me to find out what I liked and didn't like about each property. I did not realize it, but she was developing a portfolio of what I really wanted in case it was different from what I said I wanted. She used this portfolio to screen out and visit homes before showing them to me so she wouldn't waste my time on a house that wouldn't work. She was very proactive and responsive during the search process with unparalleled follow through. After we found the perfect house, she was great with respect to the negotiations and working with the selling agent and sellers. When it looked like we were at a stalemate with the sellers because they wouldn't appraise the property, Marilyn ordered and paid for an appraisal on a property that she might not sell. This resulted in a sales price of $54,000 less than my initial offer and $69,000 less than my final counter offer. I doubt you will find another agent willing to work that hard or put her own money on the table to do what ever it took to get me the house I wanted. Marilyn made a challenging process bearable and successful. When I am ready to buy some investment properties, without a doubt, I will call Marilyn. I know she will work just as hard on the next property as she did on this last one. You can't go wrong with her, but you can go wrong without her. I know you will be happy you chose to work with Marilyn.
