Marilyn was very helpful with my purchase/transaction. Very effective, professional, great communication & helped me get what we wanted. Happy to be in our new home!

Hugh Jacobs

After interviewing a few realtors we decided Marilyn was the perfect fit for us.


Her vast experience in the industry came through from the very beginning. She presented a comprehensive marketing plan giving us numerous options moving forward to sell our unique property. Her guidance and advice through some serious legal issues due to an easement problem helped us complete a successful sale.


The photography and advertising, including multi-page colour brochures of our property was exceptional. Being there for us with encouragement and regular contact through the selling process gave us peace of mind. We're hopeful they will find us our new home too!


We recommend her to anyone looking for the complete team!

Laurel McIntyre

This lady is PROFESSIONAL through and through. She provided very detailed independent market evaluations to assist in the correct pricing of my property.


I was hopeful that the market price would be higher than the assessment value and I initially requested that the asking price be set higher than assessed. She held numerous showings and open houses and provided timely and thorough feed back after each showing. She advertised the property in multiple publications, held many open houses and created a very professional 25 page sales brochure highlighting the features of the home. She provided mature and confident responses when confronted by a family member who had fueled my unrealistic expectations. She encouraged me to obtain an independent appraisal of the property to help me understand the home's limitations and set a more realistic asking price. She worked with the buyers and her agent to negotiate a very reasonable offer.


It is this kind of professionalism and dedication to getting the best price for your property - that you can count on from Marilyn. FIVE STARS!

Robert Lee

Trying to sell a home in a buyers' market is not for the faint of heart!


When we were researching realtors to sell our home, we were looking for someone with superior marketing skills who would make our home stand out among the many. Marilyn got our business for a number of reasons.


Her listing photos are the first things we noticed, even before we met them -- for the quality of the photography, including twilight shots, to the well presented rooms. Marilyn went well beyond providing the staging consultation that other realtors we talked to offered.


She was hands on, moved furniture, and brought in additional staging materials that allowed our home to be photographed and shown in its best light. Add to those things her many years experience in the real estate business, her responsiveness with respect to communications, her familiarity with our neighbourhood, and her enthusiasm for our house, and she was the clear winners.


We were winners too because we sold our house. We are more than happy to recommend Marilyn to anyone who wants to sell their home.

Rena Mahon

My mother and I are overjoyed that our home sold so quickly, thanks to my superstar realtor Marilyn Ball.


From the moment we met this dynamic duo, this lady was highly professional, well organized, immediately responded to any of our (many) questions and provided clear concise communication via one platform to all involved. She was realistic, yet confident, there was a good chance I could get within our target sale price.... and we did!!!!


We would highly recommend Marilyn as top choice realtor if looking to list or purchase a home!!!!

Frieda and John Shilling

We highly recommend Marilyn Ball’s real estate services. Marilyn organized experts to stage the property, map the buildings, create a 3-D presentation of the whole property, and to write a description that captured the ambiance of our home. Within five days of listing on MLS we had multiple solid offers resulting in a hassle free sale.


Thank-you Marilyn for your guidance, attention to detail and calm and professional demeanor.
