Marina and her partner Andy have deep knowledge of the local real estate market thanks to decades of experience. Marina offered excellent guidance on what we needed to address in our home before putting it on the market, gave good advice on how to sell our home quickly and before the market turned. The whole process was very smooth. We highly recommend working with Marina.

We are so grateful to Marina and her team for their expert handling of our home sale. Marina's level of experience and knowledge in and of Lake Forest was invaluable to marketing our home and in guiding our process. Having lived in our house for almost 25 years, we were thrilled to be able to steward it to the next owners with Marina's professional advice. She truly held our hands every step of the way.

I highly recommend Marina when listing your home or buying a new home. She knows the market extremely well. She not only is a competent realtor she also has the kindness to help you process the emotional journey when selling your home. I never felt pressure as she guided me through the process.

Marina and her partner, Andy are a team that works together seamlessly. Their knowledgeable of the market, neighborhoods, and overall real estate needs is unmatched. Marina a lifelong Lake Forester, brings to her clients a deep knowledge of the town, and north shore. She is very connected to the community, has her finger on the pulse of the real estate market, and depending upon the side you are on (seller of home or buyer of home), brings the necessary perspective, connections and negotiation skills needed to close your deal. Her clients are not just clients. She and Andy go over and above for their clients. Works well with outside agents and communicates with her clients in a direct, trustworthy and honest manner. I cannot recommend Marina and Andy with anything other than the highest recommendations. My buyer said to me after the completion of our deal, he was extremely impressed with Marina, and if he had not been so far down the path with his realtor, would have hired Marina. The selling and buying of a home comes with tremendous stress..remove one area of stress...hire Marina and Andy.

Marina has a depth of knowledge about real estate in Lake Forest and Lake Bluff that you won't find elsewhere. She grew up here, raised her family here and still lives and works here. She knows the history, she knows the market, and she knows the opportunities here. Her presentation was well researched and helped to set realistic expectations. She was clear about suggesting steps I could take to improve the sale of my house and her list of resources is extensive. Working with Marina and her partner Andy, I knew I was doubly supported through the entire process of selling, and they even found me the perfect next home. In my experience, Marina gets it done!

Marina has experience, a depth of local history, and market knowledge along with excellent listening skills to deliver a great result. Our journey to sell our house was well planned, executed swiftly and her advice along the way was indispensable. We needed to be away during the process and Marina provided steerage, managed all the details and complexities on our behalf. It was seamless thanks to Marina and her team.

When we purchase our home almost 20 years ago, Marina was our agent. She was recommended by a colleague and we were happy with our buying experience. When it came time for us to sell we knew we would be calling on Marina's expertise. Why? Not only does she understand the market, she understands her clients. Marina keeps her finger on the pulse... not only the pulse of the community, but the pulse of her clients. Marina was able to help us with all aspects of placing our home on the market--from timing to staging. Marina is immersed in the local scene so she sees her clients around town--at the supermarket, at events, at church, and at local watering holes! As a professional she understands the value of longterm relationships. We feel privileged to not only call Marina our realtor, but also our friend.

Marina is such a pro. She handled every aspect of the process seamlessly. Her business judgment is superb.

Marina gives you the same great attention whether you're buying or selling a multi-million dollar home or a small ranch house. From living here almost her entire life and being in RE for decades, she knows the market so, so well and is uber-professional at all times. Her experience and knowledge really makes her one of the very top realtors in LF. I highly recommend!

As Marina has grown up in Lake Forest not only does she have excellent incite in current market values, but an excellent depth in the history of the Lake Forest properties. This is invaluable knowledge when buying or selling a home. Marina always responds to texts, emails or calls within a couple hours.

Marina’s extensive market knowledge and understanding of what we were looking for made this move from the city back to the North Shore completely seamless - which is saying a lot during a pandemic. Simply the best, such a pro.
