Within a month, the home went to market. In a very tough market, she focused on constant exposure and new ideas to bring a buyer.

“Marie and Vera did an outstanding job for us throughout the entire process of purchasing a new home. They took the time to interview us to determine our needs and desires and showed us only relevant properties. Whenever we needed them they returned our calls promptly and made themselves available to show homes and answer our questions in a timely fashion. Within two weeks they found the home that best suited our needs. We were very satisfied with their services and impressed with their knowledge and expertise in the transaction as well as design and knowledge of the appropriate service providers to turn our house into our home.”

“Marie Miller is a wonderful real estate broker who always goes the extra mile to help her clients.  She is both knowledgeable and extremely kind; when I needed assistance in understanding certain documents, she would always call me and explain each of the points thoroughly. Marie was also very considerate of the tenant of the rental property I was selling; she even gave flowers to the tenant after closing. I highly recommend Marie Miller.”
Diana: Home Seller; Laguna Woods

“I knew of Marie Miller for seven years and recently decided to sell my house and called her. She came over and showed me several items which needed upgrading to make a difference in the price we could ask. I listened carefully to her and allowed her to work her magic while I was away for a week. I came back to find things done beautifully! The place looked so wonderful. Once on the market she, with her partner Vera, had an open house which drew in many people and TWO interested buyers. She sold my place in less time than I ever expected and at a price I never would have imagined. Her follow-through and handling of the sale, through the closing of Escrow was well executed. She even helped me find a Rental in a rough market. In every aspect of home selling Marie is way above what anyone could expect from an agent/broker. I could count on my calls being returned quickly and questions being answered. She was able to negotiate a few situations which came up so well and as a result, all went very smoothly. Pleased is an understatement. If you want service, a wonderful attitude, a caring and professional person to deal with, Marie Miller is your agent/broker.”
Dr. Sue: Home Seller; Laguna Woods

She listened to us and showed us only properties that met our needs and didn’t waste our time. She negotiated a very favorable purchase for us that worked out beautifully. From our property search through getting the keys she was there for us. I would recommend Marie in a heartbeat to anyone who wants the ultimate in trust and the best of service.”

“During the emotional environment one finds oneself in when a parent passes, what a relief to work with Marie Miller and Vera Jacques of Evergreen Realty in the selling of our parent’s home. From the moment of our introduction to the close of escrow a few days ago, I was confident in their ability to sell our property. We relied on their excellent understanding of the market conditions to know how to sell the house. Their advice in how to stage the house and how to maximize its selling points was right on point. The house itself had several offers during the first weeks. The professionalism of Marie and Vera was evident in every stage of the final transaction. I would highly recommend both of these fine people for any real estate transaction”
Laurelle: Home Seller; San Diego

“It is my pleasure to recommend Marie and Vera as consummate Real Estate Professionals. As a CPA, I was charged with handling the sale of the property through a trust. This team was knowledgeable concerning the legalities and processes in working with trustees as well as the unique rules and regulations of the community. The home was in disrepair and they immediately engaged with their resources to ready the property to selling condition in very little time. It didn’t take long to find a buyer. Challenges were encountered during the closing process; each met with timely responses. The communication, and follow through were excellent through the entire transaction. I highly recommend this team.”

“We are so fortunate to have stumbled upon Marie. She turned out to be a God send for us as she helped us through both a purchase in Laguna Woods for my mother in law but also a sale shortly thereafter after my mom encountered significant health issues. It was amazing to watch as Marie handled all the details of the sale so we could focus on my mom. Thank you Marie! I will recommend you every chance I get.”

They were there for every detail through the entire process and brought me a quick sale and a price I was very happy to get. I’ve bought and sold properties throughout my life but never have I had such intelligent and caring agents to help me with every detail along the way. Thank you ladies!”

“Marie Miller is a total gem! From day one, she was very patient, and took the time to explain every question I had over the documents, which were especially challenging to me as I am out-of-state and unfamiliar with California real estate codes. She basically held my hand through the entire process!  In general, I enjoyed my interactions with her. She is a very sweet and knowledgeable, and a complete joy to work with!”
Diane,:Home Seller; Laguna Woods

 “Well, the five stars for Marie Miller’s skills are just the beginning!  This professional lady is great to work with and amazing with her follow- through. There were many upgrades she pointed out to me and I LISTENED to her and it paid off in a great selling price! In every aspect of the deal Marie was able to graciously and calmly negotiate and resolve in a positive way. After the sale was secured (within days of listing and open house), she even made it her business to help me find a temporary place to rent.  Anyone selling a house would benefit from her expertise and experience. She and her partner, Vera, turned my house into a showcase quickly and without great cost, and got me a very high price in a very short amount of time. Thank you!”

Marie made the sale of my co-op the easiest real estate deal I’ve ever had. Always helpful, supportive, anticipating every move, she made everything flow smoothly. Her recommendations from preparing the home to sell through Escrow was flawless. She is totally knowledgeable, professional, and, above all, dependable.
George: Home Seller; Laguna Woods

Marie came highly recommended to us by close friends whose home she had listed and sold. We had very specific needs and requirements. We found Marie and her partner Vera well versed in the business and in the community we desired. They found us just the right home which turned out to be a property that had been foreclosed. The process was atypical and fraught with many challenges.  Frustratingly, the deal points and timing for our closing kept changing. Each challenge was handled calmly and effectively and the sale was brought to closure in a most professional way. We would recommend this team without hesitation. They know their business and go the extra mile in making sure that a successful outcome is achieved.
Sharon: Home Buyer; Irvine move to Laguna Woods

Marie is an exceptional broker and real estate agent. She has in-depth experience and knowledge of houses, the market, and the area. Her knowledge of interior decorating was also very useful, helping us envision how a space could be redesigned. She showed us only the types of houses we were interested in, within our price range, which made the search efficient and effective. On top of which, she is highly professional, refreshing ethical, and a great person. She has a great reputation and reliable connections in the community, as well. We still talk about the possibility of buying another place, and how great it would be to work with Marie again. I recommend her far above and beyond anyone!
Holly: Laguna Woods

My family was incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Marie on the purchase and subsequent sale of my mother in law’s Laguna Woods residence. Circumstances changed quickly and not long after purchasing we were in a situation where we needed to sell. Marie was acutely sensitive to the challenges we were facing in dealing with my mother in law’s health situation and as such handled every microscopic detail in preparing the house to sell and the sale process itself. We truly feel blessed to have worked with such a consummate professional. Whether you are on the buy or sell side I cannot think of a person I would recommend more for your real estate needs.
