Marissa Kresch

Marissa was wonderful to work with while buying my first home. Over the course of several months we looked at a number of houses in Detroit, and she was always responsive and flexible about seeing properties around my work schedule. She also answered my questions and gave me sound advice along the way. I would recommend her highly!

Marissa represented me for a home that I was selling as a personal representative for an estate. There were several unexpected twists and turns that she helped me navigate. These included negotiating responses to the buyers' request for a significant price reduction following the home inspection and the lender's stipulation that I (as the seller) sign an agreement to escrow funds and supervise repairs to the home as a condition for the lender to extend a conventional loan to the buyers. Ultimately, with Marissa's expertise, the sale was successfully concluded and in such a way that the sales price of the home was not negatively affected and the requested repairs are being being handled directly between the buyers and their lender. Marissa is very knowledgeable but I think one of her most impressive qualities was she recognized when to seek additional advice especially given some of the unusual developments in this transaction. I would highly recommend her!

Marissa was an invaluable resource. I learned so much about gutters, roofs, and joists from her. This info helped so much in finding a house. She also hustled hard. I managed to get the first house I made an offer on because of her hard work. Highly recommend!

We were connected to Marissa through word of mouth, and are so thrilled we were. Marissa helped us find a beautiful historic house in a neighborhood we may not have otherwise considered. New to the area, she took us on bike tours to see houses and get the feel for streets, and pointed out great restaurants, grocery stores, and parks. Beyond that, Marissa’s experience in restoring historic homes was key in navigating the many wobbly basements, fire-hazard wiring, and interesting plumbing solutions that old Detroit houses have to offer. Her suggestion to scope the sewer in our inspection period saved us thousands of dollars. I think it is fair to say we will be better homeowners because of working with Marissa. As first time home owners, Marissa was an amazing resource on the process of buying a home, and helped our house closing stay the course through the many snafus that coronavirus presented. She also was respectful of our health, wore a mask, and followed safety protocols which we especially appreciated. If that is not enough, Marissa is a kind, genuine human and the kind of person you want on your team. Purchasing a home means you’ll spend a lot of time with your real estate agent, and we were privileged to spend so much time with Marissa.

Working with Marissa was such a fantastic experience. As a first time home buyer, she effortlessly guided me through the process. She was highly responsive and always available to talk to. I'll definitely call her again when buying or selling.

Marissa helped us buy our first home! Her extensive knowledge of Detroit neighborhoods brought us to a wonderful tutor that we got at a terrific price. Couldn't have asked for a more patient and practical realtor to guide us through this process. We recommend Marissa to anyone buying a home in Detroit!
