I am a first-time home buyer so I had no idea about the process whatsoever when I first started taking a look at homes, or what to expect throughout the process. Not only did Marshall make me feel like I had all the information I needed to make informed decisions, but I also always felt like I was in good hands. Especially because, as a first-time buyer, I didn’t know all of the questions I should be asking so he would proactively provide this information. Marshall's 21 years of experience within real estate, professionalism, promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, kindness and good energy made a potentially overwhelming purchase process simple. He was candid, provided great feedback and helped explain clearly all details. In addition, he was extremely responsive to every one of my questions, no matter how small. When it came time to putting in an offer he and managed the negotiation brilliantly. He figured out the best way to position our offer to give us the absolute best chance that the seller would accept our offer over the others. His strategy was the main reason I got the house in a competitive market. It was truly a pleasure to work with Marshall – he always had my best interest in mind and was on top of every detail, big and small. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Marshall is a very good communicator and has helped me purchase the right home as well sell my home recently. There were key decisions in both transactions and Marshall did a good job of outlining the trade offs so I was able to make informed choices. Marshall knows the Seattle market very well and has a lot of experiences and insights that will help you along your journey.

Process went so smoothly it felt like a cross-country flight in first class. Marshall has been my neighbor for years, so I was confident that he knew our micromarket well and I was not disappointed. He priced the property shrewdly given its condition and location and his prediction of how the offers would move was spot on. He also had a rolodex of workmen for every need and provided spot-on advice for what to fix and what not to.

Marshall was a dream to work with! He is a pro with local knowledge and his relationships with vendors assisted me in getting my house ready to sell. I worked with Marshall in selling my home and then buying a new home all within the same year. Marshall was patient with all my process questions, quick to respond and got me top dollar for my existing home and got me into my dream home in my budget. Will definitely use Marshall again when the need arises!

Marshall was a total pro and was the best guide through the selling of my home. He gave me clear directions and advice on what he thought we needed to do to sell my house. He worked effectively with the potential buyers to get the best offer for my house. I highly recommend him.

My husband and I worked with Marshall to purchase our first home in July 2020. Though we didn't work with him very long (the first offer he drew up for us was accepted!), Marshall was wonderful to work with. He was extremely communicative, knowledgeable, and honest, and walked a couple of anxious newbies through what can be a very stressful process as first time home buyers in such a competitive market. He helped us come up with a very competitive offer, and did so quickly and thoroughly. He also helped my parents and sister purchase homes this year and was highly recommended and by people we trust. Our experience was no different, and we would recommend Marshall to others without hesitation. While we hope to not need an agent anytime soon, if we do, Marshall will be our first call!

My husband and I have worked with Marshall many times to both buy and sell houses and condos. Needless to say we love working with him! Being on the buyers side can be such a nerve racking process, especially in the environment we are currently in. However, Marshall makes the process easy! His connections to other professionals in the industry, insights in the local market, and longtime experience made us feel like we had someone looking out for our best interests. He always made the time for our questions, for house showings and it honestly felt like we were his only clients, but we know that's not true! Most recently we were on the sellers side and being first time sellers, we had no idea what to expect. Marshall always proactively provided updates, followed up with the sellers agents, did all the background logistics/research for us. I could not recommend Marshall more.

Marshall's knowledge of construction, superb attention to detail and responsiveness made him a joy to work with. He works with the best contractors and professionals to prepare and showcase the home. Our home sold in a week because of his expert advice and guidance. We also bought our new home with Marshall and loved his upbeat attitude, persistence and expert advice, his knowledge of neighborhoods, trends and honest and direct advice helped us find a home and neighborhood we love. I highly recommend working with Marshall!

We are so glad we worked with Marshall. He was straight forward, reliable, and always kept our best interests in mind. We were not planning to move when a house we loved in our neighborhood went on the market. Marshall put together a competitive offer almost over night without sacrificing attention to detail and thorough due diligence. We were impressed by his strategic approach with both buying and selling and would definitely work with him again.

Marshall is AWESOME. Incredibly easy to work with, very knowledgeable, straight shooter and provides ongoing communication. Could not be happier. Even in the pandemic, he got it done. Next real estate transaction I do will be with Marshall.

I can't say enough about the support I received from Marshall and Windermere. A family member passed away and this was an estate sale. His help and guidance through preparing the property for sale was so professional and helpful for us through this event.

Marshall was an incredible agent. He was knowledgeable and helpful. He listened to what we were looking for and lead us to a house which was much better than we'd even hoped for.

Marshall is an amazingly knowledgeable professional with vast experience in our area, and he has astonished us more than once with his ability to assess a property’s potential for sale and purchase, and has been a master negotiator to get us exactly what we needed. We have now bought two properties with Marshall, and sold one. With both purchases, he helped us consider our offer strategy and each time we got the first property that we made an offer on, not common in Seattle these days. With the sale, he weighed various market factors, suggested a couple of approaches, and got us a full-price offer after just 4 days on the market. Could not recommend him more highly. Call this guy, I swear you won’t regret it!

Marshall came highly recommended from peers in the Seattle community. And, it was immediately clear why. His attention to detail was incredible, and his expert knowledge base of the housing market was immediately evident. He was able to understand what I was looking for, and acted in my best interest at all times. He went above and beyond to accommodate to my scheduled and needs. Overall one of the most professional experiences I've had with anyone.

Marshall did an excellent job for us when we purchased our home in October 2020. He was in constant communication with us through the entire process. His colleague, Katie, was quick to respond and show us listings when Marshall wasn't immediately available. Marshall was able to negotiate a better price for the home we purchased. He was very helpful in making sure the closing was on time and we had all of the documents completed. We had a very positive experience with Marshall and Katie and we would highly recommend them for anyone buying or selling their home. He will be the first person I call if we are in need of a real estate agent in the future.

Marshall Longtin has handled the sale of two properties for us; a home in the north Seattle Maple Leaf neighborhood in 2014 and a home in Alderwood Manor in south Snohomish County in 2018. Marshall's advice as we prepared the homes for sale was excellent. In the sale of both homes, his knowledge of the local market, pricing strategy, timing of the listing, marketing, soliciting offers, and a successful closing made the process as easy as possible, and led to a higher offer than we had anticipated for each sale. We would highly recommend Marshall Longtin, and would not hesitate to use his services again should the opportunity come up.

As rookie sellers, we relied heavily on Marshall to educate us on process - he completely delivered! He is a thoughtful listener who understands the complexities yet explains things simply. Our trust in Marshall grew each step of the way as he led with an ethical approach, accurately represented all parties involved. We will work with Marshall again!

We used Marshall to purchase our home in Ballard in 2014, in a very competitive market. His knowledge and negotiating skills impressed us so much, that when we came to sell in 2017, we didn’t hesitate to call him. Marshall was able to guide us through both the buying and selling of our house, helped us to remain calm, and surrounded us with a great team of professionals to ensure our home sold for the best possible price. We can’t recommend Marshall highly enough!

Marshall was excellent to work with for our first home buying experience. There were a lot of people to work with and sometimes confusing steps involved and he was so helpful at navigating all of it. His knowledge of the area was clear, and he spent so much time driving around with me to see houses and get a better sense of the real estate market. We found a perfect house for us, and he helped us get it under list price! We also really appreciated his home remodeling insights, as he has a lot of experience in that regard as well. Such a positive, fun, professional experience with Marshall!

Marshall was very sensitive to our needs and helped us price our home very adequately. He advised us on what repairs and updates would help us sell the home. He was readily available to meet and/or talk things through. he was great about checking back with us to find out how updates were going. He advised us well about the timing of the market. Thanks, Marshall.

Marshall is like a family member who I can totally trust with my finances, important papers and important decisions. He has been unbelievably flexible and understanding especially with the bad luck we had recently. He is filled with all the attributes that makes for a marvelous, empathetic human being. Marshall did much more than the average realtor-he made impactful decisions and helped us through every step-always keeping our best interest the priority. Marshall wants to sell house but not at the expense of the things you hold dear. He has 18 years of experience selling homes in the Greenlake/Seattle area so his insider subject matter expertise is unmatched. He is super professional, a truth teller and he also treats people with respect and dignity above all. I can never repay him for the awesome customer service he provided....I would NEVER even consider another realtor.

We have been and will continue to sing his praises! Honestly, this could not have happened without Marshall's strategy, experience and investment in us. It wasn't a leap of faith based on his warm, trustwothy personality alone. We recognized the way he prepared and dealt with our emotions along the way...giving us the right amount of information for each stage, instead of overloading us. We saw that his stealth plan was in action! He guided us through the complexities of selling our beloved first home and purchasing our dream home for our growing family in another area. Besides the miriad of paperwork and structural/inspection/appraisal deadlines for two homes, he was committed to making our contigent offer work by communicating consistently and thoughtfully with all people involved per stage. Since the sellers of our new home were not originally considering 'any' contingent offers, we had given up until Marshall had a plan that required a lot of extra preparation on his end to ensure all parties felt assured they weren't waisting time and money. If we had listened to the other agents who did not have a creative way nor the will to make this happen...we would not be pinching ourselves today in our home! There is so much more to say...professionalism, kindness and humor in dealing withour family's different personalities, finding the right talented people to get the enormous job done, etc! Thank you, Marshall!!

I met Marshall at an Open House, one of many agents I had met, and immediately trusted him. I was comfortable shopping online listings on my own, but needed his help with the offer, and especially negotiation - I wish I could give Marshall more than 5 stars on Negotiation, I got my house below list price, even though I was willing to pay a bit above list price. Slam dunk. Marshall was friendly & patient with me as I waited *years* for the right opportunity; I was pretty passive for a while and he was always helpful without pressure. Now I'm a couple months into the new house, settled in, and couldn't recommend him highly enough. If you're shopping for agents in North Seattle, meet Marshall and see for yourself.

In this crazy competitive market, you need an expert to close the deal. Marshall's comprehensive knowledge of local real estate and brokers, plus his easy way with everyone he meets, is the winning combination for Seattle buyers and sellers. I'm absolutely convinced we would not have won our multiple offer situation if Marshall was not representing us so skillfully in the negotiation. His experience as a contractor, home remodeler, and landlord is invaluable as he can easily discern if specific home modifications are possible and what the ballpark expense would be. In our case, we purchased an investment property and Marshall educated us in all aspects of Seattle's rental market and landlord fundamentals. He is super responsive, kind, wise, and just a really cool guy. We feel grateful to have had him as our realtor!

I purchased a home in 2014 with Marshall as my agent. What I really liked about him was: -he was patient and showed me many different properties so I could get a feel for what I wanted -he was extremely responsive and proactively called me to let me know of new showings that had hit the market that we thought we should see immediately -he helped me guide the negotiation with the seller in a productive and ultimately beneficial way -he has an extremely relaxed, low pressure personality For these reasons I'd recommend Marshall to anyone looking for a trustworthy agent in the Seattle area.

Marshall was great to work with! Super easy going and had great knowledge of the area, the market and about homes. He took the time to explain things to us as first time home-buyers and no question was too stupid to ask. Marshall’s goal was to get us into a house and to make us happy! We would definitely recommend him to any of our friends, family and colleagues.

Marshall helped me buy, and sell my first home. I wanted something I could fix up but had good bones, and his eye as a former general contractor combined with his many years in the real estate overall meant he could consider structure and market at the same time. We got me something I was able to improve during my tenure, and when it was time to sell, I went back to Marshall to ask his guidance. He connected me to other professionals he works with to prepare the house for marketing and sale, which was great because I had moved out of state and needed to have people on the ground I could trust. We got strong interest with his pricing recommendation, and he checked all the top bidders to understand what the various offers meant, and the sale exceeded my expectations. We had a fast close and no problems.

Marshall showed us several properties and gave us an honest assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of each, and encouraged us to look at something slightly outside of our target area...and now we are proud homeowners of that property! I would highly recommend Marshall. He had the perfect balance of being aggressive in an aggressive market and asking for and respecting our desires and needs.
