Marion DeSantis Team at Keller Williams Capital District

Marion DeSantis is certainly tops among realtors in the region, and I would highly recommend working with her team. We never imagined that selling our home could be a stress-free experience, but working with Marion made it possible. Marion’s knowledge of the market, guidance for staging our home and her attention to detail, and effective communication were key to an easy process. She provided us with necessary detailed information at every step of the way and was available by phone, text and email to answer our questions. We were confident in her industry experience, and she certainly demonstrated her excellent reputation as a realtor when we received multiple offers in a price range that exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Marion for representing our interests so well and making the sales process a breeze!

My wife and I were extremely happy with the job that Marion DeSantis and her team did representing us in the sale of our home. We hired her because she was honest with us and had a long term plan for selling our home that made sense and was successful. I don’t believe that we would have had a good result had we used any other agent. We had an unforeseen problem with our home and Marion was able to work it out when I was not sure it could be easily addressed. She is well connected and respected by the other realtors. I believe her reputation for honesty makes it possible for her to effectively work with other agents when problems arise. She is a down to earth person that will work with you to get your home ready for being sold and always gets back to you. Marion is a competent broker who is experienced, knows the market well, and will negotiate for you to obtain a good selling price. Even with the unforeseen problem with our home, she still sold it above the listed price.

I recommend as highly as possible the realtor Marion DeSantis of Keller Williams realtors. Marion and her team were absolutely excellent throughout the sale of my mother’s house near Albany. My mother is elderly and wished to move out of the house she lived in for over 50 years in order to live closer to her children. We picked Marion after reading many glowing reviews of her and her team on the internet. We were not disappointed!! She was energetic and detail oriented. She gave us great recommendations for workers to help prepare the house for sale (handyman, cleaner), as well as lawyers. Her marketing was fantastic and resulted in several serious offers only a few days after the house was listed. She also handled negotiations with the ultimate buyer expertly and efficiently. All in all, from listing to closing was less than two months, including the holidays and the fact that my mother had moved out of state before her house was listed. Marion and her team were always pleasant and professional in their communications with my mother. They got an excellent price for my mom’s house. We were extremely pleasantly surprised by how smoothly the whole process went with Marion at the helm. If you’re selling your house, do yourself a favor and get Marion DeSantis and her team to represent you.

Marion and her exceptional team made the selling of my elderly aunt’s cherished home seamless. From the outset, my collaboration with Marion was more than just business; it was more like a friendly partnership. She generously shared both her time & insights before we even signed the listing agreement. This put my aunt at ease which was a big relief to the entire family. Marion’s market expertise was evident from the start. Her advice was spot on when it came to which updates would generate returns on investment and which would not, thus maximizing the home's value. She streamlined every aspect of the process, taking care to make sure we were well informed, stress free and comfortable from listing to closing. The remarkable outcome far exceeded our initial expectations. I wholeheartedly endorse the Marion DeSantis Team for all your real estate transactions. Their expertise & dedication to their clients made this an extremely pleasant experience.

Marion DeSantis Team is the team to go to if you want to sell your house. She analyzes the market, geography, discusses price ranges, and walks you through the whole process. My experience with the Marion DeSantis Team has left me thoroughly impressed and incredibly satisfied. Being an out-of-town seller, I initially had concerns about navigating the intricacies of the real estate market remotely. However, Marion and her team expertly managed the entire process, making it remarkably effortless. Right from our initial interaction, Marion exhibited an astute grasp of the local market dynamics and an authentic commitment to securing the best outcomes for me. What truly sets her team apart is their unwavering determination to secure the most favorable price for my property. To my pleasant surprise, I received an offer within days of being on the market that significantly surpassed my initial expectations. Marion’s strategic marketing approach, extensive network and innovative strategies yielded remarkable results. Throughout the entire process, Marion maintained impeccable communication. Despite the geographical separation, I consistently felt well-informed and exceptionally supported. In a landscape where exceptional service can be elusive, the Marion DeSantis Team stands out as consummate professionals who consistently exceed expectations. My heartfelt thanks for turning this experience into a positive and financially rewarding one!

It was an awesome experience working with Marion. I am confident that I made the perfect decision because her extensive knowledge and experience in the housing market and pricing trends proved to be incredibly valuable. As a seller located out of town, I genuinely appreciated her constant communication and responsiveness throughout the entire selling process. Marion's meticulous attention to detail was also a great asset as she went above and beyond to ensure my home was in pristine condition before listing it. From thorough cleaning to power washing, she took care of every aspect. Furthermore, her exceptional negotiation skills resulted in multiple offers on my home and a higher sale price than my initial asking price. I enthusiastically recommend Marion to anyone seeking assistance with their real estate needs.

The sale of our home went extremely well in spite of the fact that we had moved out of the area and the house was empty. Marion kept us abreast of what needed to be done, (having house cleaned, e.g.), and provided the names of excellent people to perform the service. She went out of her way to check on the house after her vacation, because she knew no one was living there. I commend her for her diligence and honesty.

Working with Marion and her team was a pleasure. Marion is very detail-oriented and walked us through the process of preparing the house for sale and keeping us informed of the progress during showings. We received 3+ offers the first day the house was on the market and the house closed in a very short amount of time! I would not hesitate to use Marion and her team again.

A big thank you goes out to Marion DeSantis and her team at Keller Williams. We recently had Marion and her team help us sell our house. The team was very up beat, professional, and came in with a plan to properly prepare our property and market it to obtain the maximum selling price. Their process reduced the stress usually involved with selling a house. We would highly recommend Marion DeSantis and her team to anyone selling their house.

Marion was professional, knowledgeable, kind and always available to answer questions and troubleshoot - even in the 11th hour of closing. I would trust her again in a heartbeat.

From the moment I met Marion DeSantis, her experience and knowledge was very apparent. I felt very comfortable with her from the start and liked her style, which was pleasant, clear, direct and open. Her passion about her work and finding the right buyer for our niche home was a real plus. She represented the kind of person that I wanted selling our home; her character, enthusiasm, focus, honesty, directness and respectful manner of communication was so appreciated. She responded to calls or texts in a timely manner and worked very efficiently as we prepared our very niche home for sale. I found it helpful to always have a pen and pad with me as Marion made many suggestions that really helped improve or highlight the home. She also helped me stay focused on what was important, which was sometimes a challenge for me. Marion coordinated all the pieces that helped sell our home in three days. I highly recommend Marion DeSantis!

We have worked with Marion on the sale of two homes. In both cases we had somewhat challenging situations and she achieved good results for us. Marion gave us good advice, kept things on track and worked with us to resolve each issue that came up. She knows the local real estate market extremely well and she is very straightforward and pleasant to deal with. She and her team were also a good source of recommendations for contractors and packing and clean out services. I recommend Marion DeSantis to my friends and family who are planning to buy or sell real estate in the Albany area.

Marion DeSantis and her team at Keller Williams Capital District did a great job selling our house. They had a good marketing plan, were very professional, and kept us informed every step of the way. We highly recommend them!

Marion and Michelle were absolutely wonderful, and without them, we would not have found our home. Michelle worked tirelessly to tour homes with us, or view homes on our behalf since we lived out of town, and Marion was there to answer all of our questions and guide us along the way. Both were the reason why we found our home in this crazy market!

Marion DeSantis is a real estate agent who is determined to succeed. Her ability to network is truly second to none. As they say, the proof is in the pudding. We hoped for 2 to 3 offers, we got 19 offers, all way above our asking price! To anyone reading this review, choosing the right realtor is key, Choose Marion DeSantis. Sincerely, Tim & Linda McCutcheon

I believe that choosing Marion DeSantis to sell my home was destined. I was very impressed with her many years of experience and her vast knowledge of my location. Upon meeting with her the first time, I had the utmost confidence that she would make the sale of my home a very successful one. And, I was absolutely right. Prior to selling my house, Marion made valuable suggestions (painting, power washing, etc.) to ensure that my home would show beautifully. Calls were always returned in a timely manner. If I had a question that required a more detailed answer, she would stop by to review my concerns. Unsurprisingly, I sold my home shortly after 4 days of showings and it was considerably above asking price…and I could not be happier. I truly recommend calling Marion to sell your home.

We are relocating to the area from out-of-state and needed someone who knew the area, and who could handle the logistics of showing us several homes on a tight timeframe in a hot market. Chelsea was all that and more. We have purchased a number of homes over the years, and Chelsea was the most energetic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable agent w/whom we have worked. She listened to our needs, was extremely responsive to questions and requests and had our backs throughout the entire process — right up to the walkthrough the day prior to closing when her thoroughness spotted an issue and saved us several hundred dollars in repairs. Beyond all that, Chelsea is a delight to be around. She is smart, unfailing friendly and thoughtful in her approach to her job. We definitely would reach out to Chelsea again to buy or sell a home.

I had many choices and interviewed several real estate agents to sell my home. My property was unique and required a specific buyer that could appreciate the value and challenges of this estate. After meeting with Marion I knew she had the passion ,desire, professionalism and resources to market my home. We had excellent activity on the property and I was able to get two full price offers which led to the sale of my home. I was ecstatic about her photo,video,drone shots and virtual tour which contributed to the sale.She also recommended a real estate attorney who was excellent which led to an efficient and seamless closing.

I had the pleasure of working with Marion for the past 9 months resulting in the successful sale of my property in just a few days from putting the property on the market. My experience was stellar, Marion gave me guidance though out the process from conception, targeted property improvement, and provided me with the contacts of the construction professionals required. She offered continuous guidance during the process, communicating with me and directly with the construction people. She has the contacts and knowledge to guide you through the process of property preparation for sale and the marketing of the property. I found her knowledge of the real-estate market and guidance invaluable. She is very much "hands on" and involved in the process of preparing the property for sale, she will tell you what needs to be done and what does not, based upon what "sells" and what prospective buyers are "currently" looking for. Her approach is totally "sales" oriented and she will guide you through the process of "home prep" that will result is a timely sale of your property and for the most return on your investment. She and her firm has the experience and resources to additionally market and sell your property in a competitive real-estate market. It would be my distinct honor, honestly, to give Marion and her "team" my highest recommendation as a real-estate professional.

Marion's team was awesome. They took on somewhat of a challenging piece of property to sell, but with their experience and attention to detail, they sold it extremely fast. It was a great experience and would highly recommend the Marion DeSantis Team.

We worked with Marion to sell our home and to purchase our new home. Marion spent a lot of time with us to understand our needs and knew that we were looking to sell our home quickly. She took the time to explain the current market and provide objective data regarding what buyers were looking for. She answered all of our questions and addressed every concern. Marion communicated with us regularly which was very important to us. Marion exceeded all of our expectations. She priced our home to sell and marketed it aggressively. We had several offers right away and we were able to complete our sale within 3 months of it being listed. When it was time to purchase our new home, we were in a multiple offer situation. Marion knew exactly how to handle it which ultimately resulted in our offer being accepted. We highly recommend Marion and her team to any buyer or seller in the area. She is very knowledgeable and a true professional.

Marion and her team did an exceptional job selling our two unit during challenging times! They sold it quickly, professionally and at a great price! Thank you so much for all you did to make this happen!

Marion and her team are very knowledgeable and motivated. We listed our house previously with no luck. When we decided to list again, we chose to work with Marion. It was one of the best decisions we made! We sold our house in 4 days! Not only did she sell the house fast, but she stayed very involved throughout the entire closing process. I will recommend her to everyone I know!

My mom’s home sold during the COVID-19 pandemic! When the real estate market was upended by the pandemic, Marion and her team quickly pivoted to a virtual strategy which included a 3-D virtual tour and social media blasts. We were so pleased to entertain multiple offers by buyers who submitted them based on virtual showings only. Marian was committed to selling the house regardless of the changing real estate market.

Three years ago I hired Marion DeSantis to help me sell my childhood home and purchase a smaller property. The process was so smooth and so positive that when I decided I no longer needed to own my home and that I was ready to move to a 55 plus community there was no question as to who I would hire for my realtor. I met with Marion and she quickly put to rest my concerns about listing my home in December or wait till springtime to sell. My home went on the market in December and I sold it within a month. I would not hesitate to recommend Marion DeSantis to anyone looking for a realtor.
