Marie excelled in every one of the above-noted categories and in more not mentioned! We felt the original realtor we dealt with had the property under-priced and Marie recommended a listing price of $100,000 more than what the first realtor recommended. Although we initially had some questions, Marie assured us the property was worth every penny of what she was recommending and that we needed to trust her...and she was right! The property was under contract in less than 24 hours! We wouldn't hesitate for one second to use Marie again in the future and give her our highest recommendation!

Marie Drew is the real estate professional you need in todays market. Whether you are a buyer or a seller, you want someone who can help you make a deal in your best interests, and one that actually goes through. In 2020, we enlisted Marie to sell our condo in St. Petersburg right at the onset of the pandemic. It all worked out very well. A year later we decided to buy a single family home, and immediately reached out to Marie. Without her guidance we would not have signed a contract. If you are a buyer in the St. Petersburg area, you are competing with many many other buyers to nab a property. Marie helped us hone a successful strategy unique to our situation. Happily, we just closed on a home were very excited.Why choose Marie? She brings a wealth of expertise in the local market, including how to price a home to sell, how to make a savvy offer on the property you really want, and how to negotiate effectively with all parties involved. She has an extensive network in the real estate sector and home improvement industry. Most importantly, Marie took time to get to know us and our real estate needs. At no time did we feel rushed or pressured, or like we were just one more deal to make. She was always responsive to our needs. Marie is totally down to earth and a pleasure to work with. Should we need to buy or sell again, Marie is the first person well call!

Marie was a total pro from start to finish. This was an inherited property with lots of issues and surprises to work through. The situation was complicated with multiple owners in different locations. We sold our home for the full asking price very soon after we signed the contract. She continued to work us through the hiccups that popped up along the way through closing. Marie's expertise gave us 10 times the value of her commission. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Ive purchased 5 houses and sold 3 in my lifetime so far. I cant even compare Marie to other realtors Ive dealt with, because she is at a different level altogether. Marie has vast knowledge combined with a no-nonsense approach. She has warmth and sense of humor and genuinely cares about her customers aEUR" on both sides of the transaction. I knew within moments of meeting her that I was dealing with a pro. Throughout the entire transaction I felt fully confident that Marie had my best interests in mind. To say she is on top of EVERY DETAIL is an understatement. With my past real estate transactions, I was exhausted and frustrated by having to chase down details, pick up dropped balls and manage all the moving parts, which left me wondering why I was even paying a realtor! With Marie at the helm, it was smooth sailing from start to finish. She knows real estate inside and out and has a vast network and solid relationships with QUALITY service professionals that I knew I could trust. She stayed in constant contact and communicated at every stage. She and her team worked tirelessly to keep everything rolling and on track. It has been a virtually stress-free purchase and an absolute pleasure to work with Marie. I hope she never retires, because she is my Florida realtor for life!

I first met Marie Drew when looking for a second home to buy in the Gulfport area. She showed me a home she had listed, and I was very impressed with how clean it was and how simply and tastefully it was staged. It turns out Marie does her own staging and keeps a warehouse of furnishing for that purpose, something she enjoys doing! I didn't end up buying that home, but through our exchange at the time I felt she would have handled the transaction professionally and efficiently. So when it came time to sell my home, I recalled Marie Drew first out of the countless other realtors I had met. Prior to even contracting with her, she had pulled all of the city records on the house and was well prepared. She knew I would be out of town, and took the reins on helping to get the house ready for sale, from meeting with contractors, to staging and attending to the finer details, to a strategically targeted marketing plan. Additionally, she took the initiative to contact the county to make sure that the square footage of my home showed up correctly so there would be no problems with the appraisal. A contract came quickly, and she was on top of the transaction from beginning to end, with excellent communication throughout. I would not hesitate to hire Marie Drew for any of your real estate needs - she is good at what she does because she loves what she does!
