Mariko is a first-class real estate professional with long relevant experience, great insight about her market and industry, and sharp intuition for deal-making both from business and human aspects. Her bold deal-making backed by solid understanding about our needs and wants was absolutely remarkable and even a pleasure to be a part of.
Our house did not sell for over a month in the first try by another company, and that was when our friend recommended Mariko. Despite this difficult situation, she was extremely positive and confident – the very attitude we needed back then. In no time, she proved that she was right with her thorough market research, tasteful staging that fully conveyed the charm of the property, and her hardworking literally around the clock -- all resulting in several great offers higher than the list price within a matter of days after we relisted the house -- even in the slowing Seattle area housing market in the summer of 2019! Of course, the subsequent negotiations went very smoothly thanks to her.
With her strong end-to-end ownership of the deals entrusted to her, timely communication, and bold deal-making in total alignment with her customers' interests, she completely changed our perception towards real estate professionals.
With confidence, we recommend Mariko to anyone who wants to sell their house.
