We couldn’t have found anyone better than Marsha DeCosta as our buyer’s agent. Marsha was extremely helpful throughout the negotiations process, attentive to details & kept us on track every step of the way. We hope to work with her again in the future! Dorothy & Robert Knopf
Reluctantly I needed to part with a camp that has been owned by my family for well over 100 years. Going to the camp with my family and friends for my entire life and the many memories accumulated made this a very difficult but necessary thing to do. Marsha was recommended to me by a trusted friend and I am grateful that he did. Marsha sincerely cared and understood the situation I was in and treated me as if i were family. She made many suggestions that made the sale go smoothly and took care of details above and beyond expectations. Marsha is definitely not just your "realtor".
I was fortunate to recently work with Marsha DeCosta when I was purchasing a camp and land in Wiscasset, Maine. She was fantastic! She constantly communicated with me, she was open, honest, and completely trustworthy. Marsha helped me to understand the current real estate market and she helped me in making my decision to buy. We discussed the complicated aspects to valuing the camp and deciding on contingencies, mortgage possibilities, and making the right offer. After I made the decision to buy, she guided me through all the intricacies of online documents and electronic signatures, and the whole amazing jungle of real estate transactions. I met with her at the camp, made the offer after an hour of discussion, and signed all the “papers” (online) that evening, and the agreement was done by 10pm (note that she kept working until 10pm to make sure the deal got done). The big picture: We met at 4 pm and the deal was done by 10 pm. I’m absolutely amazed that we got so much done in that short time. And it was all due to Marsha’s expertise. Afterward, a friend asked me if I felt any buyer’s remorse and my immediate answer was, “Absolutely not!” Marsha’s honesty, integrity, intelligence, and expertise enabled me to feel completely confident in all steps of the process. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
We decided to work with Marsha because of her outstanding reviews and were not disappointed. We started looking for a house between Portland and Topsham, Maine in December 2020, at the height of the Covid pandemic. Turned out that the market was slow with not much inventory. This required extra patience and knowledge about the market. Marsha never disappointed. Our circumstances were a little unusual because we were looking for a house big enough to include an extended family, difficult anytime but especially so during the pandemic. Marsha stuck with us, offered suggestions, found us homes to consider and eventually helped us settle on a house, all with constant encouragement, support, and help. We have bought 6 houses in several states over the last 30 years and rarely have we had a real estate agent as knowledgeable, patient, and supportive as Marsha DeCosta. Do yourself a favor, call Marsha. She is terrific.
After having Marsha be our realtor for buying a house and how great we felt when everything was done, there wasn’t any question to who we wanted to sell our house when work took us out of Maine. She was amazing to work with for both stressful transactions but you wouldn’t know they were stressful because of the way she was so diligent to make it as seamless as possible. To say she really cares is an understatement. She took her own (time that she didn’t have to) to prep the house for sale and put in an incredible effort to make things fall right into place. She was the sole reason why our house sold and might I add sold very quickly. With being out of state for the second transaction but being in person for the first one, we didn’t notice any difference. It was as if we were her only client. Such a personable, knowledgable professional with the highest drive to make her clients happy. I wish she could be our realtor for every transaction we will ever do. Would recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the area she works. She can do it all!!! Thank you Marsha!!!!
Marsha was a dream to work with. She was prompt in returning calls and text, excellent working with sellers agent, and negotiating for us. Throughout the process, she guided us as first time home buyers every step. We highly recommend for Marsha!
Marsha was great, keeping me informed and updated of all the developments ( and there were many) help though a very difficult sale. I couldn't tell how valuable she was. I don't know how many *you rate a job,but Marsha gets them all.
Marsha DeCosta's willingness to provide extensive research on historical documents permitted me to sell my property in Maine while living in NJ. Having a lot of experience with agents over the years, I can honestly state without reservation, I would trust Marsha DeCosta with getting any real estate needs. Very professional, responsive, organized and focused!
Marsha is the very best agent we have ever had the pleasure of working with! She ALWAYS, promptly returned our calls, texts and emails, was willing to research information on properties that we were interested in, was willing to negotiate when we finally made the decision to purchase. We looked a quite a few properties for several years before our purchase, and Marsha stuck with us throughout the search, patient, generous and always with her sense of knowledge and humor. Should we ever decide to move again, Marsha would be our first and only choice to represent us. THANK YOU, Marsha!
Marsha recently helped us purchase our first home and we could not have been happier to have her as our agent! As first-time home buyers, she made the whole process very easy for us by providing referrals, scheduling inspections, and promptly answering all of our questions. She was wonderful to work with and we would highly recommend her!
We just closed another real estate deal with Marsha as our agent! She is knowledgeable, friendly, and very responsive. Marsha works so hard on her end to make what is often a stressful process feel smooth. She genuinely cares about her clients and has their best interests at heart. We can't wait to work with her again!
Although we have bought and sold several homes throughout our lives, we’ve never had the same agent for both buying and selling. In both circumstances, Marsha exceeded our expectations. We were looking to relocate closer to my husband’s work, and Marsha worked diligently with us during the search, purchase and close. When it came time to put our home in Wiscasset on the market, Marsha was our natural choice. She was on top of every detail during the entire process, and was always readily available, no matter what the time of the day. Tim Dunham Realty is lucky to have such a committed professional.
