Testimonials

I’ve worked with several realtors over the years and have bought and sold multiple properties in the Bay Area. Without question, Marcie tops them all. She was my Seller’s agent and worked diligently to get my property ready for the market. Throughout the process, Marcie kept me well-informed and did a great job coordinating with the contractors we hired to prep the property prior to the listing. We were able to close at a price above asking price at a time when the market was starting to soften. In addition to being diligent in her work, Marcie is very trustworthy and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again

Marcie works wonders: Manifest your perfect house, she said.... a few weeks later, she had our perfect house secured! It's a highly desirable home which we thought would be impossible to secure, but thanks to Marcie's warm and professional approach along with so many years of valuable experience through differing markets, she did nailed the impossible: our offer was not one of the highest but it was accepted! After this, selling our former home ASAP was a bit of a challenge during the unknowns of peak Covid times, but we took Marcie's advice every step of the way and secured the amount we were hoping for. Very useful extras that we'd recommend when working with Marcie: contact her well in advance of putting your home on the market; she has a great plan of action on how to get your home ready, as well as knowing the right people to fix things up at a low cost.

We highly recommend Marcie if you're looking for a very competent Bay Area realtor, for both buying and selling needs.

Marcie was instrumental in getting us into our townhouse in Los Altos in 2014, a listing that had fallen out of escrow just as we needed to do a 1031 exchange from another property in San Francisco. She found an agent to represent us, smoothed the transaction with the sellers, who were understandably unhappy about the failure of the original contract, and got us a discount, all in time to meet the 1031 45-day deadline. We entered escrow on the eve of the deadline. I was amazed. So, when it was time to sell last spring, I contacted her. Within weeks we were staged and on the market. She coordinated all the staging and maintenance in preparation for the sale. As a result of her strong advocacy and marketing, the property sold quickly with an excellent preemptive offer, and we never even held an open house! Marcie’s judgment for real estate is impeccable. She is very easy to work with. She understands timing, presentation, and marketing well. Her design and staging suggestions were terrific. And she does what she says she will do. I trust her. I would use her again without hesitation and recommend her most highly.

My wife and I worked with Marcie three times in previous years, first buying a house and shortly thereafter selling my previous house and then the house my wife co-owned with her ex-husband. Marcie was a pleasure to work with and i always felt she was looking out for the best interests of us.

My wife and I quickly fell in love with one of the first houses Marcie showed us. Marcie insisted that we look at some of the other houses before we made up our minds, so we did. Afterwards, we were grateful we'd comparison shopped because it only made us more certain about the house we originally wanted. It was listed for $1.148 Million. I told Marcie to make an offer at $1.40. I was a little nervous about going lower than list because the house and the lot were so big and so beautiful that i thought it might get yanked out from under us. But Marcie said she was going to go in lower. I don't recall the exact way the negotiations went, but we ended up getting it for $1.100 Million, $40kless than I originally told Marcie i was willing to spend.

6 months or so later we had to sell my house, and asking Marcie to handle it was a no brainer. She knew exactly how to fix it up and stage it and we ended up selling it for something like $30k over the asking price, even in a pretty bad market (-May 2007). I was really impressed with that one.

My wife was more challenging. It wasn't great neighborhood, the housing market was even worse(-August 2007), and she had the neighbor from hell (junk cars out front, unkempt house and yard, half a dozen yappy dogs, a semi abandoned RV on the street with a skeleton in the front seat facing my wife's house, etc.). Marcie did everything she could to present it as well as possible, but we had to let that one go for a bit less than the asking price. But after seeing everything Marcie was doing to get the sale, and how she negotiated the offer we finally accepted, we still feel like we got a lot more of it than we would have with your agent. Marcie worked that sale hard.

We don't expect to be moving again for a long, long time, but if/when we do, we're calling Marcie first.

My husband Jon and I have been dreaming about owning a home for years. For many of those years, it was just a pipe dream. But not until recently did we realize that, with the help from many people, our dream could become a reality. When looking for a home in Santa Clara County, we were referred to Marcie Soderquist, and without hesitation we were on board. Jon and I have been working with Marcie for about five months and it has been a great experience. We knew Marcie was in for a challenge when we told her our price range and my very demanding expectations, but she never flinched.

Everyday she was accessible, friendly, and always in good spirits. She took us on endless trips to view homes, after hours, on weekends, and mostly during her free time. Many times I called her discouraged, saying that we would never find our dream home, but she was always encouraging, telling us that the perfect home would come along, and it did. Well, just a few weeks ago we found our dream home. It was in our price range, in the neighborhood we wanted, and had all the charm and met all the expectations I had demanded.

Every step of the way Marcie was clued in, handled all the details and made all the phone calls I asked of her. More importantly than Marcie's adorable nature and helpfulness was her honesty. My husband and I were aware of the slump in the housing market, and were looking to take advantage of that as first time home buyers. Marcie was aware of that too. Many realtors that we encountered said the worst was over and that prices were rising so we needed to act quickly, but Marcie knew better. She encouraged us to be patient and was aware of the depth of the housing downturn. She never rushed us to make a decision or forced us into buying a house out of fear of rising prices. She was aware of the economic situation and encourages us to wait until we found what was just right for us. And we did!

We would like to thank Marcie for all of her hard work and persistence in finding us the home dour dreams. Jon and I could not be happier with the home that we have chosen or with the work Marcie has done for us.

Trust me we are very happy we met you. We had a very hard time with finding someone to help us find a place. It just seemed that all the agents were just not into it. They would point us to a web site and tell us to let them know when we found something and we could go look. It was not a very good experience and i would imagine they are not top agents.

Go figure! But when we went into that place in Los Gatos you were different. First of all you talked to us and asked what we were looking for. That was huge. We have noticed that when most agents show a house, they sit at the table on their computer and just ask you if you have any questions. What a way to sell! We knew you were different.

Marcie is an amazing realtor that my whole family has relied on to buy and sell homes with throughout the years. I have even recommended Marcie to friends who were extremely pleased with their experiences as well.

We used Marcie with the both the sale and purchase of a home and Marcie's expertise in the Bay Area market shined as she made sure we capitalized on all the strengths of our home to get the highest return possible. Marcie also helped present our listing in such a way that we had hundreds (yes, hundreds) of visitors stop by our open house which resulted in many offers and ultimately landing us a strong offer that we looked for.

When it came time to purchase a new home, Marcie was there, every step of the way helping ensure we were happy with the process as well as providing us with invaluable input on what would not only make our new house more comfortable but what would also help our new house be a strong investment opportunity in the long run.I highly recommend Marcie Soderquist as a realtor, and friend.

Marcie has been our agent, both buying and selling homes.

She is the consummate professional. We've engaged Marcie for three transactions, and she has handled all three with the skill and professionalism that are the hallmarks of a true professional. She's responsive, attentive to process detail, knows the market, and knows how to move the negotiation along very effectively.

As our purchasing agent, she listened to what we wanted, and worked hard to identify properties that met as many of our criteria as possible. She then engaged the sellers and moved the process from offer/counter-offer to closing along very expeditiously, ultimately winning the property for us, at a price we felt was justified.

As our listing agent, she set honest expectations, priced and marketed the property exceptionally well, driving multiple offers in a soft market. She managed the incoming offers flawlessly, and negotiated a final offer that we were very comfortable accepting.

We recommend Marcie very highly!

Marcie is simply the best realtor I have ever come across. When we bought our house in 2021, we had to use several realtors to explore different regions and Marcie was clearly the most dedicated, most communicative, and most knowledgeable. She happily assisted with tasks that are beyond what most realtors would help with, including our mortgage, due diligence, etc. After we closed, Marcie stayed in contact with us and we've consulted her on several things including renovation, repair, and even asked her about our property taxes. What I particularly appreciate about Marcie's approach is that she is focused on her client's best interest and would never push for something she didn't genuinely believe was a good fit, even if that means she'll lose a sale.

Due to Marcie's excellence, we have referred several of our friends to her and Marcie has helped at least four of them close on their now-home. We view Marcie as a trusted advisor and a valued friend!

Marcie helped us on every detail of updating our childhood home and made the experience one of joy and celebration! This isn't always easy to do when you are emptying out a house and recognizing that it will no longer be a place to congregate for holidays and special occasions. Marcie was so kind, thoughtful, sympathetic that I looked forward to seeing and talking to her. Also, she was a magician with her team in making the home improvements that really paid off and staging it beautifully so the house received multiple bids. I strongly endorse a buyer or seller to choose Marcie!

Marcie is incredible. This woman has a heart of gold! She was so patient and understanding and not at all pushy in our pursuit of our ideal home. She absolutely loves her work and is very, very, very hardworking and always goes the extra mile for her clients. We interviewed many agents and it was so obvious that Marcie was the most trustworthy and competent of them all. She is one in a million. It was such a blessing to work with her. We still stay in touch and she has become a dear friend to our family. She’s awesome.

Marcie is the "go to" real-estate professional in Bay Area. As first-time sellers, we were not experienced at all, and always thought we needed an expert like Marcie. She cares about her clients from Day 1 till after the transaction in a very upfront, friendly, helpful and professional manner.

As a first-time home buyer, it was a joy working with Marcie thanks to her patience, enthusiasm and experience. She went above and beyond helping us find the perfect home and navigating every step of the way, from the first tour to the moment we held the keys in hand.

Marcie is by far the best realtor we worked with. Not many listen to your requests and follow through and deliver them, by Marcie does. Her experience and attention to detail are unmatched in the Bay Area.

Marcie is the best in this profession - period. Throughout the process we felt the piece of mind, knowing that we are in good hands. We did not just have a great realtor, we got a friend for life.

Marcie is the realtor you want on your side... cool, strategic and methodical in Selling and Buying. Thanks Marcie!
