Marilyn Garcia, PhD | REALTOR | District Homes

We have known Marilyn Garcia for over 15 years, and working with her recently to sell our inherited property only reinforced how exceptional she is. Marilyn guided us through the entire process, including suggesting thoughtful cost-effective investments into modernizing the home before the sale, which made a huge difference. She handled everything with professionalism, care, and sensitivity, making what could have been a complicated and emotional situation feel smooth and manageable. Just one example of her commitment and attention to detail: the house was professionally cleaned and staged, but the day before the house went on the market Marilyn was nevertheless there with cleaning products and entry rugs to ensure the place was, and remained, spotless. Knowledgeable, responsive, and strategic throughout, Marilyn delivered an excellent result. We truly trust her and highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.

Marilyn Garcia is an exceptional real estate professional who exceeded every expectation I had in selling my home in Berkeley. From the moment we began working together, her attention to detail, market expertise, and commitment to excellence were evident. Marilyn went above and beyond to prepare my home for sale, assembling a top-tier team of contractors and personally overseeing every aspect of the process. Her marketing strategy was flawless, ensuring my home was presented in the best possible light. Thanks to her meticulous approach and expert guidance, the final results far surpassed what I had imagined. If you are looking for a listing agent who is professional, dedicated, and truly outstanding at what she does, I highly recommend Marilyn Garcia. She is simply the best!

Real estate agents come in many different flavors - some are serious, responsive, knowledgeable and hard working, others not so much. Marilyn is defintely one of the former. We have bought and sold many homes and worked with many agents, some good, some terrible - she is by far the best. She was great in helping find a home, but, more importantly, she was invaluable in helping us evaluate homes, review disclosures, find a great mortgage broker and insurance agent and home inspector and handyman, and walk us through the closing process. She was not only outstanding in a business sense, her demeanor made us feel very comfortable asking any questions. We highly recommend her - she was also great helping our son buy a house.

We highly recommend Marilyn for anyone searching for a home in the area. My partner and I just purchased a new home and had the good fortune of having Marilyn as our realtor. She helped us through the whole process as our search lasted several months in this difficult market. Marilyn met us for open houses and had a keen eye for aspects of each house to take into account. She kept us well informed about what to expect and what was reasonable. When a home we were interested in needed work, Marilyn helped connect us to trusted vendors to help us make an informed offer. When it was time to make an offer, she worked with us step by step through the process each time. After we had an accepted offer, Marilyn was there with us through each step of the closing process. We always felt like we were in the loop. Whenever we had questions, Marilyn either had an informed answer or found a good source for the answer. All the while, my partner and I had hectic schedules and Marilyn made the timing work. Marilyn is a fantastic realtor...you will not be disappointed if you hire her.

Marilyn Garcia is a top-notch realtor. We cannot recommend her highly enough! She is smart, strategic, easy to reach, helpful, diplomatic, and an excellent negotiator. She kept us informed, in a timely manner, during every step of the process. We worked with her to sell our home, but if we were buying a new one in Berkeley, we wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again. On top of it all, she is a pleasure to work with.
