"Marina was our real-estate agent and helped us in buying our dream home! We recently moved to the Orange County area and were very hesitant initially to get into this home purchase in such a challenging market. However, Marina exceeded our expectations throughout the entire buying process and was incredibly thorough in every stage of this buying process. She was a great advisor and helped us navigate this difficult time to purchase a house! She always made sure that we are always ahead of the curve in every step of the process which was entirely due to her thoroughness and dedication. She walked us through the step-by-step process always made sure that we knew what to expect and offered advice during our negotiations. Marina was knowledgeable and immensely helpful throughout the whole process. Marina is quick to respond patient always happy to help and resourceful. Even after completing the buying process, she helped us wholeheartedly with all the repairs needed in our house. She was quickly able to provide a list of contractors handymen painters and others who helped us with all the minor repairs and renovations! I would highly recommend Marina to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in the Orange County CA area."

"This was the fourth property I've sold and I can say far and away it was the best realtor experience. Marina was extremely professional - she has great attention to detail is highly client-focused and is very trustworthy - all elements that were put to the test during our recent sale of our existing home and purchase of a new home. From the onset, she provided detailed market pricing data (which appealed to me as an engineer) depth of knowledge of existing properties, and flexibility in accommodating our wishes for initial searches. Once we got serious about making an offer Marina was an easy choice to help navigate the process. When we submitted an offer we were met with an aggressive timeline in order to secure offer acceptance on the property. Marina acted with extreme urgency in helping us list our property and she used her internal network to line up advance viewings. Because of her efforts, we secured an offer the initial day we listed our property. Over the course of the next few weeks she was instrumental in helping us navigate a complicated contingency sale and her responsiveness and straightforward approach kept us calm throughout the process. She is a firm but fair negotiator which allowed us to secure a deal on both ends which was no small task. Her attention to detail was critical in ensuring nothing was missed to satisfy us our buyers and the sellers of the home we were buying. In summary, Marina did an outstanding job and I would refer her to anyone looking to purchase a home. She earned 100% of her commission and went above and beyond the scope of realtors in my prior experience. She was especially accommodating in coordinating around my and my wife's busy schedules. 6 Out of 5 stars!"

"Marina Macartney was wonderful to work with. She was professional reliable organized and personable. She is a skilled negotiator and makes sure all parties are satisfied at the end of the transaction. She helped us sell and purchase our new home. We sold our house for over listing price and she helped us come up with a competitive offer for our new purchase. If you want a realtor who follows through shows up and delivers then you want to work with her. She will be our only realtor going forward."

"Marina has been the key to closing this home. She played a key role in convincing the seller's realtor why their price was too high when looking at comparables. This allowed us to get a reasonable price home without a lot of competition. Marina also helped us on a different home where we discovered a significant piping issue and while we ended up not pursuing that home we've always felt that Marina was representing us and defending our interests throughout the negotiations."

"We had a fantastic real estate experience working with Marina! She is a very knowledgeable agent and she knows all the areas in southern California very well which helped a lot since we are relatively new to the area. Marina has always been on top of everything very responsive and patient with us. She is a great negotiator she advocated for us and we felt respected and heard. Marina has been so kind to us too even though the process took some time she has always been so attentive and sweet towards me and my family. I would recommend Marina to anyone looking to buy or sell their property. We had an enjoyable and smooth experience."
