  • Marsha listed and sold my home

      Exceptional service; really understood my desires and needs; went above and beyond with putting listing together...ended up selling my home above list price to a wonderful couple. Can't say enough good things about her !

    • Marsha was our Agent when we bought our house. Her turn around to our questions or request is remarkable!! She is very knowledgeable in her profession. She goes the extra mile, worked our schedule even if it meant a showing on Saturday or Sunday. You can tell she loves her job, because she is excellent at it!! If we could rate with ten stars, I would give her all ten! She is also a pleasure to work with, great personality and comes highly highly recommended!!

      - Kelley & Mark, Boothbay, Me
    • I am so glad we selected Marsha to be the sales agent for the sale of our first home. Being first time home sellers we had a lot of questions and required guidance, Marsha was able field and answer any of our questions. She also offered suggestions and guidance at every step of the process, without being pushy. We were able to reach Marsha any time we needed to by phone or email, when we weren't able to reach her right away she was always very prompt to respond. I would not hesitate to work with Marsha again!

      - Chris & Renee, Wiscasset, Me
    • Marsha was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, walking us through the process of purchasing our first home! She was very prompt on responding to all of the questions we had, Showing us the property multiple times and scheduling the inspections for us. We could not have asked for a better realtor! We highly recommend Marsha!

      - Chris & Jocelyn, Chelsea, Me
    • Marsha was a great help in selling our house. Selling a home while living out of state can be difficult, but Marsha took care of all the local details and recommended companies for the last-minute tasks required to put the house on the market. The pictures and listing description presented the house in the best possible light. She is also great at communicating updates via calls, emails, and text. We were very happy with our experience.

      - Mike & Robin, Boothbay, Me
    • Marsha listed our house at 6pm on a Monday and had received an offer 22 hours later for $5000 over asking along with 2 other offers at full asking price. We ran into a few unforeseen issues thru the process that Marsha took control of in order to help get resolved. Her understanding of the process and expertise was extremely insightful and helpful in our decision making throughout the entire process to closing.

      - Vince & Sally, Jefferson, Me
    • Marsha DeCosta always had our best interest in mind. She was just a phone call away no matter what time of day it was to answer questions or to get us a showing in a pinch. Marsha is knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with. We would use her again in a heart beat if she hadn't already helped us find our perfect home! We had some lending issues along the way and switched lenders mid purchase. Marsha was able to negotiate with the sellers while we switched lenders and helped us still close on our home. My husband and I are so grateful for Marsha and all she did.

      - Chad & Francesca, Phippsburg, Me
    • She was absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable. She knew exactly what to look for in homes and all the right questions to ask. Would highly recommend her!!

      - Nichole & Caleb, Boothbay, Me
    • Let me start by saying that buying a home is never easy. I have purchased several homes in my lifetime and thought I knew a lot about the whole process. This was by far the best experience I every had purchasing a home. Marsha was polite, knowledgeable, friendly and understanding. She asked questions about the property and home that I would have never thought to ask. She absolutely saved me money by asking the seller the right questions and identifying potential problems. She made me realize the importance of having a topnotch real estate agent. I highly recommend her to anyone. This includes experienced buyers and first time buyers. Both would benefit from Marsha's expertise. She really made me feel like she was working for us. Her kind disposition also made us enjoy being around her. I am thankful to have met her and consider myself lucky to have had her represent me in the purchase of my new home.

      - Ken, Wiscasset, Me
    • Marsha was fantastic to work with. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and always positive. She walked every lot with us, and helped us find the perfect piece of land for us. I would highly recommend her.

      - Mike & Alaina, Waldoboro, Me
    • Marsha was the perfect realtor to help us buy our home. We were first time home buyers and she gave us all the knowledge we needed to buy our house with confidence. Her work ethic is endless and unmatched and I highly recommended Marsha for anyone looking to buy a home!

      - Jarad & Hilary, Dresden, Me
    • Marsha was very prepared and knowledgeable. She was always a step ahead, researching any potential questions or issues that could arise during our buying process. She was assertive on our behalf when it was needed. It was a pleasure working with her, and we would hire her again in a heartbeat.

      - Christian & Lora, Dresden, Me
    • Marsha was a pleasure to work with. She handled both the buying and selling process of our new home and the one we had for sale. Very professional and worked in a timely and consistent matter. She is very pleasant and friendly and we are very pleased with her work.

      - Vicki & Gary, Boothbay & Augusta, Me
    • Marsha was instrumental to our home buying experience. She handled negotiations flawlessly for a smooth closing. Any issues or concerns we had were handled quickly and professionally. Thank you for representing us.

      - Peter & Diane, Beaver Cove, Me
    • Marsha is an amazing realtor. She was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help us as we were first time home buyers. Marsha was always just a call or text away and made sure she was constantly advocating on our behalf!

      - Darbie & Austin, Gardiner, Me
    • We can't say enough about what a pleasant experience it was to have Marsha as our buyer agent! We had lots of questions about the property and it was Marsha who pursued and attained answers for us. She contacted the listing agent on several occasions and also contacted the condo association regarding some of our questions. Although the property is nearly 2 1/2 hours outside of Marsha's normal territory, she went out of her way to show us the property a couple of times. Marsha helped locate a closing agent that was willing to meet us close to the property which saved us significant driving time and allowed us to do a final walk-through just before closing. Marsha was extremely responsive and did whatever she said she would do when she said she would do it. She was in regular contact with us throughout the process and took away a lot of stress. Marsha even checked in with us after the sale to ask how things were going. When relatives were looking for property in the same area, we had no hesitation to recommend Marsha and they appear to be having the same positive experience we had. She's a very down-to-earth, professional and honest person. My wife and I have said several times how thankful we are that we worked with Marsha.

      - Jeff & Celeste, Beaver Cove, Me
    • Marsha was the best realtor for us as first time home buyers. She was very responsive and got us in quickly to tour homes we were interested in! She negotiated well for us and once we were under contract, she guided us through all of the details/steps to complete the purchase. She made buying a home stress free for us and we could not be more grateful! We highly recommend having Marsha as your realtor!

      - Rebecca & Ben, Nobleboro, Me
    • We were so fortunate to find Marsha. She was very responsive and assisted us, always in a calm and knowledgeable manner during what were at times stressful negotiations. Never pushy, always sensitive and most accommodating. Steered us adeptly through every aspect of purchasing our new fabulous home in Maine. Not being from the area, Marsha made all the logistics easy for us. Thank you Marsha-without your support and guidance our future might be very different!

      - Liz & Ron, Waldoboro, Me
    • We first connected with Marsha via Zillow over a year ago when we first relocated to the Brunswick area. She is knowledgeable, professional and friendly. We can reach out to her anytime and she promptly responds without hesitation. She is honest and patient as we went through the overwhelming process of searching for our dream home. We had a difficult time and had made several offers with no success, a very frustration process. A few times we even backed out because it didn't feel right. After many hours of her time, travel and the ups and downs of our indecisiveness, she always remained patient, understanding and supportive. It took a year of multiple showings and offers and we finally find the right home! She is a firm believer that things fall into place at the right time. She was right and we are happy!! We highly recommend Marsha because she is patient, dedicated and committed to doing the right thing for you.

      - Lesa & Nhan, Durham, Me
    • Marsha was absolutely amazing to work with. We were relocating from Mid-Maine and did almost the entire transaction remotely. Marsha made everything so easy! From meeting us later in the evening for the showing, to doing all the paperwork online, to providing a list of inspectors to choose from, she did everything possible to make relocating a breeze. Even when we ran into an issue with a minor repair that was needed before our loan could be approved, Marsha reached out to a local company and facilitated the repair on our behalf. I would absolutely recommend Marsha to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

      - Sandi, Topsham, Me
    • I met marsha on a Sunday night, at 8 pm, when I queried "real estate agents in booth bay" - Marsha saw this request, and called me within minutes. Since that time she has helped me through the process of home purchase, made even more complex by our out of state status. She is knowledgeable, hard working, responsive, and by far the best agent I have worked with through my home purchases. Example, I needed measurements of the home AFTER we had an agreement to purchase. Marsha contacted the seller, went to the home, and measured the home to facilitate purchase of furniture. She engaged with local resources like neighbors and contractors to facilitate communication and property integrity. I will be utilizing Marsha for all subsequent purchases in Maine, and would highly recommend her. don't hesitate to contact me directly if you would like additional information.

      - Marc, Westport Island, Me
    • Marsha was excellent to work with in listing listing our house. There was a lot of activity the first few days. The professional photos and thoughtful write on the house I feel really helped, thanks due to Marsha. The house sold quickly. The communication and follow up by Marsha was excellent through the entire process. I would certainly recommend Marsha if you are looking to sell or buy a home in the area.

      - Brendan, Bath, Me
    • My husband and I just closed on our new home last week. It was long and at times very frustrating. Problems kept popping up and we kept thinking we would never close on it. Marsha was great from the beginning. She had a solution for EVERY problem that came up. When I thought the outlook was bleak she knew how to fix it. She was always quick to call or respond to me and my husband when we texted or called. It was a pleasure to work with her. I would definitely recommend her and we would work with her again in the future

      - Echo, Boothbay, Me
    • My wife and I closed on a house in Winthrop back in January. My wife wrote a review within days. I waited to see if all of Marsha's insights and information would come to fruition. I can honestly say that everything Marsha told us was spot on. My wife and I could not be any happier with everything. Marsha went far and above what I have found to be the normal tasks you would expect from a realtor. The house we were looking at had actually been taken off the market just days earlier. But Marsha spoke with the listing company and made sure we would be able to view the property at our convenience. She saw us through the price negotiations and helped us get to our target number. Being from out-of-state, I wanted to conduct all of the business locally, Marsha introduced me to the Vice President of the local bank. Three days later we were funded. She negotiated extra time allowances for our "Due Diligence" period just in case we needed it. Then came the inspections themselves and once again the professionals she recommended were just that. Extremely professional. They worked with me and performed inspection on Saturday's when I was able to be present, and on a holiday week. They were all kind, courteous, and just as professional as Marsha. Marsha also made sure all was acceptable with the owner explaining our situation to him. Here is the real kicker as to Marsha's character, this home was outside of Marsha's normal working radius. But that made no difference to her. She was always early for every visit, inspection, showing, meeting, etc. Although Winthrop was outside her area, she has some local ties which yielded a plethora of local insights and information, from local eateries, to jewelry stores, and little "inside" tid bits of information to help us transition into our new home and community. I would and will recommend Marsha to anyone that is looking for a realtor without reservation 100%.

      - Joe, Winthrop, Me

      - Maria & Edgar, Wiscasset, Me
    • Marsha Decosta was an amazing real estate agent! She was very helpful in any question I had and was there for me every step of the way. I was very lucky to have had her. Our team got in contract and ended up closing 19 days later! I couldnt ask for a better more smooth experience when buying a home for the first time! Thank you again for everything!

      - Bryan, Wiscasset, Me
    • She is a wonderful person! And always keep us update and asked what she can do more until we have the house such a great great experience.all in all excellent job!!

      - Edgar, Wiscasset, Me
    • Marsha provided us with an above extraordinary experience when we bought our house last month. She was efficient and caring about our house selection. She worked around our schedule and brought us around to several houses in which we fell in love with the last house we saw. Marsha was like a partner in our buying process. She helped us not only find the perfect house, but was willing to help us see things we might not have noticed. She represented us and our concerns, and was very knowledgeable about anything we would ask of her. If for some reason she didn't know something, she would find out and get back to us promptly. We had some unusual circumstances with our finances, making our closing process unique, and Marsha was able to navigate through them. Marsha was awesome to work with. If I ever move again, we will only work with Marsha.

      - Norm & Lisa, Durham, Me
    • Marsha, very patiently, looked at nearly 18 different properties with us before we decided on this one. She is always on time, prepared and extremely accommodating to our scheduling issues. This property was purchased as an investment property and we will absolutely be utilizing Marsha as our listing agent when this property is ready for the market.

      - Vince & Sally, Jefferson, Me
    • Marcia goes the extra mile in making sure that documents and all the aspects of getting to a closing come together in a timely manner. Shes always willing to send an extra email, phone call or even a text no matter what time of day. I cannot express how well she communicates and her willingness to do whatever needs to be done. I would highly recommend Marcia to anybody that is either buying or selling a piece of real estate. Thank you very much Marcia..

      - Dion, Wiscasset, Me
    • Marsha was fantastic.. She was quick to respond to all our questions...which were many since we live out of state. It didn't matter what time of day or night. If by chance she she didn't know an answer she did by the following day. She has a warm and friendly personality as well. Our whole house buying experience couldn't have been smoother. Thanks Marsha !!!

      - Karen, Winthrop, Me
    • We did not know Marsha when we chose her through Zillow. She was truly a great real estate agent for my husband and I. She arranged all the showings which were somewhat complicated. When we found the house she stayed on top of the process all the way through constantly watching out for us when things got a bit difficult. She is professional through and through and she is pleasant and fun to work with. I highly recommend her.

      - Judith & Jeff, Newcastle, Me
    • Re-locating military with a big wish list for our new house. However, Marsha led us through the dynamic market that we soon realized was very fast paced. Marsha jumped on every opportunity there was and even sending us listing minutes after they came onto the market. She would waste no time with setting up showings, which was imperative because of the fast paced turnover. We looked and looked and our wish list was finally fulfilled when Marsha had sent and later shown us just the house we wanted. Throughout the negotiation, she was on top and timely with the needed responses for both parties. She worked with the seller, my lender, and us while balancing the bumpy process of buying a house. But to our amazement, she did it all flawlessly. Patient, upfront, tough negotiator, kind, personable, are some of the many attributes that you can expect. Thank you Marsha for going above and beyond for my family!

      - Dustin, Topsham, Me
    • Marsha was helpful and supportive throughout the entire process of buying a home. She was happy to show me many homes at my convenience. The next step was to make a purchase and Marsha helped me through all the necessary steps. It was truly a pleasure to work with her!

      - Laurie, Bath, Me
    • Marsha showed me listings near me and things really took off from there. She worked in a manner that best fit my schedule and answered any questions I had day or night. As a first time buyer I had a lot to learn and Marsha helped me from start to finish with any and all of my questions and helped me to fully understand all that comes with buying a property. All I could ask for and more! Highly recommend her!

      - Nathan, Westport, Me
    • Marsha was well informed on what was going on in the market and gave me great advice when it came to negotiation time. She is a very hard worker who was happy to flex when our search parameters evolved. I highly recommend Marsha for your real estate needs.

      - Amy, Boothbay Harbor, Me
    • Marsha made finding a house for me that would be suitable for my mother stress free. She was very responsive, reminded me of the dates for required paperwork, and gave me good advice. I am very satisfied with her work and experience.

      - Douglass, Bath, Me
    • I immediately had the sense that Marsha was a fair and honest person the second I met her. She came to us through a third party reference so we had no knowledge of who we were meeting. I had a realtor in my family and had heard all the manipulation that goes on ( no offense to realtors, every one has self interests, just depends on how far you take them) so I was feeling skeptical. Marsha has a strong moral compass. That said, she definitely protects her client's interest when needed. She was willing to work very hard for us in a fairly remote area where distance between properties can be far. She did not mind doing what she had to do to make sure we were both satisfied with our purchase. She got answers to our questions quickly. She was respectful of our indecisiveness when we were questioning our own decisions. This is a very special person.

      - Susan & John, Waldoboro, Me
    • My experience with Marsha was very good. She was very friendly and always made me feel comfortable. When I would message her she always responded very quickly and was willing to help with whatever I needed. I would highly recommend her, she was a big help to me.

      - Lori, Wiscasset, Me
    • Very helpful and knowledgeable of the areas! Quick response time and has a great attitude. You can tell she's cares for your investment and had good opinions

      - Chad, Poland, Me
    • Marsha was wonderful to deal with from the first meeting until the closing. She showed up at the first meeting with a report on my home ready to go and was able to get me top dollar for my house. During the process, I had moved from Maine to Michigan knowing that the sale of my house in Maine was in excellent hands. She kept me updated every step of the way and anticipated my questions and concerns. Would highly, highly recommend Marsha!

      - Amanda, Pittston, Me
    • Marsha was so wonderful to work with. She was very knowledgeable about the area and the property and was always very quick to get us answers when more information was needed. We felt like Marsha always had our best interest in mind.

      - Andrea & Keenen, Bowdoinham, Me
    • Marsha was amazing to work with. Always was on top of everything, very helpful and explained everything very well! Made my first time home buying experience a pleasure. Great person, and great realtor! Highly recommend

      - Conner & Brittany, Wiscasset, Me
    • Marsha just helped my boyfriend and I purchase our first home and we couldn't have been happier working with her! She was extremely patient as we learned the home-buying process, and carefully walked us through different options. When we ran into financial issues, she recommended us to a loan officer and also helped us find someone to inspect our new home - both were amazing! Marsha was extremely attentive to our needs, never pushy, and always willing to be flexible with home viewings. Above all, she is caring and personable. Highly recommended!

      - Brionne & Dylan, Bath, Me
    • She worked hard to sell my house and was very thorough. My house was shown quite frequently and had a lot of reviews and the house was sold in less than a month of being listed with her. She did her job and did it well.

      - Dave - Wiscasset, Me
    • Marsha did a very nice job for us. She went the extra mile for everything we asked of her. All went smoothly. I would gladly recommend you to take advantage of her services.

      - Greg - Durham, Me
    • There arent enough stars to say how wonderful the experience was working with Marsha. From beginning to end she helped us through the process. Were so excited about our new home and so happy we got to share this moment with Marsha.
