"Marie really listens to what you are interested in buying and has a real knack for finding the home that meets those needs. We bought our first home with Marie in just one day! She is a wealth of knowledge and made the whole process so easy because of her years of experience. We couldn't be happier!" ~ Kristin & Alan S

"Marie was meticulously professional, honest, affable, and completely accommodating to all our needs. We definitely recommend her and would use her again in a heartbeat."~Eugenia I

"Marie's brain must carry a data base that matches names to properties and that data base is totally RAM. Although no longer looking at real estate, somehow I was introduced to a beautiful newly listed home in Cascadel. The transaction was immediately contested by another buyer.
I followed Marie's advice to the letter and was very pleased with the outcome. In addition, she connected me with the best mortgage agents I have ever dealt with and she, the mortgage agents and title company accelerated the closing to less than 30 days. I have unequivocally recommended her to others." ~ SLF

"It was great working with Marie. She is extremely knowledgeable about the mountain communities and which areas have the types of properties desired by her clients.
We lived out of state which usually makes house hunting and escrows difficult, but she made it easy to communicate over both the internet and the phone. During our trips to California, she tirelessly showed us homes and thoroughly answered our many questions. After we found a home we wanted to buy, our escrow proceeded smoothly and we are very happy with our new home. We highly recommend that you choose Marie Iden as your real estate agent". ~ Rick & Mae H.

"We give Marie an A+ for selling our home 2 miles from Bass Lake. She skillfully positioned and marketed our home, which resulted in a sales price that was considerably higher than we originally expected. And when our buyers made "deal killing", unreasonable demands just days before the close of escrow, Marie managed to save the sale without requiring any major concessions on our part. She sold our home promptly and professionally, and we recommend her without any reservations whatsoever. Thank you, Marie!" -~ Bob and Mary S.

"Marie is a fun Safari guide, whether on or off road. She has boundless energy and a genuine commitment to answer all questions. Put on your seat belt, bring a tape measure, and have fun! She knows her territory well and includes her customers as her friends. She knows the local professionals. If you are a newcomer to the area in a short time she will fill you in, so to speak, so you can make sense to it all." ~ Jim P.

"Marie Iden is an outstanding realtor based on these areas:
1) her knowledge of the inventory of properties
2) the depth of knowledge on each properties history
3) understanding of the other realtors involved in the market
4) sound understanding of the county and its impedance to property changes or development

Marie has a very direct and assertive nature that gets right to the facts and then provides ideas and solutions to make acquiring property very simple. She is very good with follow-up and keeping the client on top of the latest events such as escrow problems, inspections needed, etc. (most realtors in the Oakhurst area do not operate in near this caliber of professionalism). Another aspect that is extremely important is the network and trust from other realtors that helps Marie find out answers quickly."~ Dave W.

"I know something about Marie Iden! She has assisted our family with three successful transactions in 3 years. When you deal with Marie, you will find that she will see it through to the bitter end and "I don't know" is not in her vocabulary. She will find the answer. Her prompt response, knowledge and professional attitude in communicating with other agents, state agencies, etc. is to be complimented." ~ JH

"Thanks largely to Marie's specific knowledge of the area and willingness to go the extra mile for the client, I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. However, her greatest attribute is honesty. She will not compromise her integrity just to make a sale. She truly represents her clients interests." ~ DK

"We have used Marie Iden as our agent to purchase two homes and to sell one and will certainly use her again if the need ever arises. When we first became interested in this area she was very accommodating and spent endless hours showing us everything available until we found the right one. She is very professional, knowledgeable and her honesty really impressed us. We highly recommend her to anyone needing a great agent." ~Barb & Don

"We found Marie to be responsive, well-informed, prompt, professional, interested in her clients and skilled at her craft. She has been a great resource to us prior to, during and after the purchase of our new home. We do not make recommendations lightly but have recommended her to friends interested in the area. She is a joy to work with and a pleasure to know. We feel fortunate to have found her." ~Roger & Vivian

"Marie goes the second and third mile for you when you list with her! Got a desperate question or maybe a silly one, she patiently will answer either by office phone, cell phone or e-mail as promptly as possible! Speaking of second and third mile: She took beautiful pictures (not only of our property) but of our pipe organ and put them with a well=written description on e-Bay. Both sold in a reasonable length of time. She knows how to trouble-shoot problems to the seller's advantage and steer you into "safe waters." ~Tom and Betty

"We came to the Oakhurst area (not seriously planning to buy here - just looking around) a little over a year ago. We met Marie and she made it so easy for us to decide this was the area we wanted to live in. She knows the entire mountain area and shares all her knowledge. She makes every effort to find "exactly" what you are looking for. We really love our home and the mountain living. We could not have found a better place to live or a better agent to help us find it. In addition, Marie has become a wonderful friend." ~Owen and Jane

"We found Marie through the internet after researching several realtors. We had no idea what our property was worth as there had been no comparable sales in the area for several years. She priced it well and we received more than we could have hoped for. Also, we were traveling at the time of the transaction and she accommodated us by faxing documents to hotels and did whatever was necessary to make things go smoothly. A huge thanks to Marie Iden!" ~Kim and Glenna M.

"Working with Marie was a very satisfying experience. My husband and I found Marie to be very thorough, patient, persistent and very pleasant (during some c hallenging negotiations). Marie helped us to find and purchase the property of our dreams. Without her on our team, we are sure we would not have, either found the property in the first place, or been able to close the deal. Thank you Marie!" ~PH

"My family and I were extremely pleased with the way Marie handled our recent property sale in Cascadel Woods. Her valuable knowledge of the market and of our undeveloped property was greatly appreciated. Marie understands and interacts with people with sincerity. Her personable nature made us feel comfortable from our initial contact to the closing of escrow. Marie was the best choice for us." ~Jeff and Marilyn

"Marie did an excellent job helping us find our home. She kept in constant contact with me while I was in Sacramento and with my husband while he was deployed in Iraq. She found the home of our dreams largely through emails. She figured out just what we were looking for and knew how to find it for us." ~Tom and Angie

"My wife & I were introduced to Marie in 2001 by a family member who had worked with her previously. We found Marie to be extremely knowledgeable about the areas we were looking at, and in addition we found her to be very forthright with recommendations to our benefit. She worked to make our transactions 'win-win' for both buyer & seller. As a result of the integrity, and charm, she displays for all involved we later purchased an additional four properties with her. Bless you Marie!" ~Steve and Gail
