When we think about our relationship with Marianne Francis, the word “serendipity” comes to mind. Why? Because we chanced upon her a number of months ago during a very brief home shopping trip to the Northwest. She was doing an open house and we walked in and were thankful that we did so. During that brief encounter, Marianne impressed us as knowledgeable, experienced, confident and most capable. When we began to seriously shop for a home in Kirkland, Washington, her name naturally came to mind. We sought her out and she was flat-out wonderful to work with. She is highly energetic and knows how to get things done. She advocated for us and took care of the “odds and ends” of our purchase, made more complex by our living out of state. We cannot recommend her more highly. If you want to work with a realtor who gets everything done and done right, Marianne Francis has to be your choice.
After living in Kirkland for over 20 years, I asked Marianne to help me look for a new property that would keep me close to downtown but also give me the privacy I was looking for. In just five days, we went from touring three great properties she recommended to offering acceptance! She knew exactly what I wanted and understood the market, so it was a very efficient process. I put in a competitive offer that I would have lost had it not been for Marianne’s stellar advice on how to package the offer, given current market conditions. I highly recommend working with Marianne if you are considering your next real estate investment.
Marianne recently sold our home in Kirkland and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. We were under contract after just one week for 12% over the asking price! Marianne orchestrated the entire process masterfully and delivered the best outcome we could have imagined. Marianne is a born salesperson and an expert negotiator. She is incredibly determined and hard-working and a natural at cultivating relationships. Her background in fine art gives her a keen visual eye and excellent taste, which helped inform the renovations we made to the house before putting it on the market. She guided us over an 18-month period as we started actively planning our first move in 23 years. When we were ready to put the house on the market, she kicked into high gear, shaping the overall marketing strategy and handling all the details, from cleaning and staging, to photography and videography, social me…

She guided us over an 18-month period as we started actively planning our first move in 23 years. When we were ready to put the house on the market, she kicked into high gear, shaping the overall marketing strategy and handling all the details, from cleaning and staging, to photography and videography, social media and email outreach, and finally to open houses, the offer review, and the negotiations with buyers’ agents. She understood clearly the target demographic for our house and successfully told the story of our home with the right buyers in mind. Her experience and good judgment paid off—we got four amazing offers, all over the asking price. Marianne was able to connect and empathize with the buyers and help them envision how our property could meet their needs and aspirations for their family and ultimately, that’s what really made the sale. We were so fortunate to have her on our side, providing wise counsel and keeping us optimistic and grounded along the way. We highly recommend Marianne.
Working with Marianne was such a positive experience during a particularly challenging time for our family. We were facing personal circumstances that made selling our condo difficult, and from the very beginning, Marianne was not only professional but also incredibly empathetic, taking the time to understand our unique situation and guiding us with patience and understanding. What stood out most was her expertise and proactive approach. Marianne gave us valuable advice to prepare and stage our condo to appeal to the right buyers and price it competitively, even in an uncertain market. Despite some setbacks and delays beyond our control, Marianne remained positive and persistent, always keeping us informed and reassured.
