"Referring to my review written for Marsha posted earlier, I posted visual star signs immediately after the 5 star text, but the text format system mistakenly recognized the visual star signs as question marks. Marsha has earned the highest 5 star rating as a reflection of her cultivation in her professional skills and willingness in helping first-time buyers like me to see, contract, close and move into the new home. "

  -Sheena , Client

"Our neighbor used Marsha when he sold his home a year ago and suggested that we use her services when we decided to sell. Marsha was amazing. Very professional and completely thorough. Her knowledge and expertise made what can be a stressful situation, completely painless. She was always available to (patiently) answer our questions. We did have some concerns, as there were several homes in our neighborhood and on our street that were also being sold. But, by following her recommendations, our home was listed and sold very quickly. "

  -Shelley A Brown, Client

"As a first time home buyer, working with Marsha was a dream! She knew everything about the areas we were looking at, knew the market well enough to advise us on all of our options, but most importantly always kept it 100% real which I didn’t realize was so important to me and to one of the largest decisions of my life! I can’t wait for my city friends to start moving out into “the burbs,” not just to be closer, but also so that they can benefit from Marsha’s services and expertise! Couldn’t recommend enough!!! 1 year later and we still feel so blessed and grateful! THANK YOU, MARSHA!!!"

"Marsha Bowen Washington has provided outstanding service during our home buying process. She was very professional, punctual, fast, and efficient. As a first-time homebuyer, Marsha made sure all questions were answered from beginning to end. Marsha responded to every phone call and followed up with us when needed. She had a welcoming personality that made us feel comfortable even when the beginning process was very hectic. One important thing that I really acknowledge about Marsha is that she has a lot of experience; she knows her job very well and takes pride in her work. We definitely felt that she was looking out for our best interest. We enjoyed every moment with her and are extremely satisfied. We would recommend Marsha to anyone who is looking to purchase or sell a home."

Marsha put forth the extra effort to make sure the house was the right fit for myself and within my budget. She was always accessible and willing to answer any of my questions. She assisted with working with the back to get my mortgage approved. Marsha made buying my first home an enjoyable and easy experience.

"Marsha Bowen- Washington is an amazing real estate agent who had won several awards. The question is why? Her ability to put you at ease and to really listen to what you’re asking for in a home. She takes the time to making your new home a reality. You are not only getting a great realtor, but someone who treats you like a friend. All of the testimonies are true: 1. Professional 2. Expert 3. Friendly 4. Quality Service, etc Marsha is an asset to her profession!!! NOTE: Marsha was my third agent in four years. She was more that able to deal with my concerns about the process of buying a home. As an agent Marsha is FABULOUS!!! She had placed a house on the market which the interior (Beautiful) was designed by her. I was in the process of making an offer, when the house was sold in a couple of days. At the time, I knew that she would be my realtor. She has brought and sold hundreds of homes over the years. Marsha Stand Out Among The Best AGENTS!!!!!"

"Our experience with Five Star Real Estate Winner Extraordinaire, and Essex County Top Real Estate Agent for 2020-2023, Marsha Bowen Washington, was a blur. That’s why, without any hesitation, we contacted her again when we wanted to sell our house to relocate. We knew that she would be dedicated to selling our home in a timely manner and that the entire process, with all its integral steps, would be seamless. She would work tirelessly on our behalf. We were right! Our target date for the sale of our house was early summer; we were confident it would happen with her solid expertise and without any drama. We knew she would fully guide and “educate” us in our new journey. Despite administrative and other delays on the buyer’s lender’s side, she fought for us, and we won. We now know for sure that Marsha Bowen Washington eats, drinks, and sleeps real estate and is a force to be reckoned with in the ever-changing world of home buying and selling."

  -Thomas and Hortense DuVall, Client

"Marsha was an absolute pleasure to work with. She listed our home quickly, and it wasn’t long after that that we had multiple competitive offers come in. Through no fault of her own, it took longer than expected for our home to actually sell -- but Marsha never let us become discouraged and she made sure she saw the sale through all the way to the end. Moreover, Marsha clearly has her clients’ best interests at heart. Our situation was somewhat unique in that we (the sellers) were not actually local by the time we were selling our home. So Marsha essentially acted as our local proxy throughout the entire process. She was super responsive over both email and phone, and she fiercely advocated for us at every turn, including every time she interfaced with someone on our behalf. Marsha was also highly knowledgeable about all the laws and regulations pertinent to our sale, including the ins and outs of selling condos. I recommend Marsha to anyone looking to buy or sell their home"

  -Ilona Bass, Client

"I had a great experience working with Marsha. I couldn’t believe how responsive she was to all of my requests and questions, and she knew far more than we ever hoped to about the process of selling a house.

She made what could have been a really stressful and difficult process as seamless and stress-free as possible. Through her home selling skills and knowledge, she was able to get above the asking price for my home and found a great home and neighborhood for me to move into. If you are in the market for buying or selling your home, look no further than Marsha Bowen Washington. "

Marsha Washington would be of great assistance to you and your family."

  -Dominick Jones , Client

"Marsha was extremely kind, patient, polite, informative, and very encouraging me to get this house. She had suggested the bid I should do for the home, and told me to go with what she suggests and explained what the other bids would be if i didn't, and i would miss my opportunity. I went with her suggestion and I was able to beat out 5 other potential buyers for the home. Marsha was able to guide me with the Mortgage process, was able to help me find a lawyer that would be able to negotiate the inspections, the exact down payment i would need, and what she would be able to do so that way I would stay locked in for the day of the closing. The bank was exactly as she said and my down payment, my credit rating, my career standing were all approved. I will say this now: Marsha is your go to 100%. No questions asked. She helped myself- a 36 millennials dream come true after so many years of hard work pay off, and Honestly, if it wasn't for her? I wouldn't not be here right now. "

"My husband and I were referred to Ms. Bowen Washington by a friend. The prospect of trying to sell an older home was daunting. Ms. Bowen Washington was an absolute gem. She recommended a program through Coldwell Banker that assists with renovations.

Not unlike the house repair reality shows our journey from renovation to sale was fraught with unexpected twists and turns. Ms. Bowen Washington's expertise was evident by her ability to intercede on our behalf. Ms. Bowen Washington is an advocate who works to make certain that her client's interests are protected.

She gave me a very realistic view of the market in my area. I never felt pressured to purchase something I wasn't sure about, and Marsha made sure to give me relevant information, including how certain house features would effect resale value. Marsha was very responsive and helpful. Once I made an offer, Marsha was amazing. She was absolutely on top of everything and really helped smooth the purchasing process. She helped me through the price negotiation process, helped me manage multiple house inspections and a subsequent credit negotiation, and remained in frequent contact with all parties. When things got stuck with my attorney who was on vacation, Marsha made sure the ball got rolling again.mI felt very secure working with Marsha, and am very happy with the home I purchased.

Given the crazy real estate market finding our property took a bit of time but Marsha was diligent, patient and truly felt in our corner to get us the property we were looking for at the price point we wanted. In fact, by the end of the experience she felt like family. Beyond her expertise in real estate she is well connected and has recommendations and referrals for any aspect of your home buying needs (lendors, lawyers, surveyors, contractors, etc.). I would highly recommend Marsha and have already solicited her services again as we leveraged her expertise to help find a tenant for an apartment in our property."

She also genuinely shared in our excitement once we finally closed on a place that we are really happy with. "

"Marsha Washington is honestly the BEST Real Estate Agent I have ever had. She also has worked with my Father, and my late mother in getting their home as well. I am 36 years old and i was very much struggling to find my very first house, and I felt that my hope of getting a house would never happen. My late mother found me a house that would be great for me, my dog and a potential partner/family in my future days. Marsha was extremely kind, patient, polite, informative, and very encouraging me to get this house. She had suggested the bid I should do for the home, and told me to go with what she suggests and explained what the other bids would be if i didn't, and i would miss my opportunity.

  -Nicholas Christian, Family

"Ms. Washington is an excellent real estate agent. I initially contacted several agents and decided that Ms. Washington was the most knowledgeable and experienced. I was selling an apartment that I had been renting out for the past 8 years. She already had sold many units in the building. Shortly after our first meeting, we immediately had several offers after only a weekend of showings. While the first offer unfortunately fell through, I was really impressed that Ms. Washington soon found a new buyer and had a selling price that I was very satisfied with. Although I was on vacation with my family during the closing date, the real estate attorney that Ms. Washington recommended did all the documentation prior to my departure, and we successfully closed, while I was away. Most of the paperwork throughout was completed online, which was very convenient. I highly recommend Ms. Washington for her knowledge, experience, and caring during the apartment selling process, Thank you!"

  -Christian S. , Client

"I would strongly recommend Marsha Bowen Washington as your real estate broker if you are in need of a knowledgable, highly professional and caring agent. Marsha was invaluable in helping us navigate through the very difficult process of selling our home. Marsha was able to direct us through the challenge of selling our home with an underground oil tank. Marsha understands the ins and outs of the industry and was a wealth of knowledge on the entire process. She was always available to answer our questions whenever we called. She directed us on what questions to ask our attorney and even gave us recommendations on contractors to use when we had some last minute repairs to do during the selling process. Marsha was able to keep us calm through a very difficult selling process and helped guide us through all areas of the sale. I would highly recommend Marsha to anyone who is looking to sell or buy a home in New Jersey. Stan Moorer "

We went into it not knowing what to expect, or what to do, yet from start to finish, Marsha was there to guide and help us through the process. She was nothing short of professional, informative, and patient. She always made herself available for any questions and concerns we had. Her experience and knowledge shows by how she informed us on what she recommended we do when we had to face some hurtles along the way. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone buying or selling in NJ. She does not disappoint. Thank you again Marsha!!"

  -Diana (Ambra) Rodriguez, Client

"I rarely write reviews, but I have to write a 5 Star ?? ?? review for Marsha. She helped me to purchase my first house in my life. I cannot be happier and luckier with the professional help from Marsha. As a first-time home buyer, I had neither practical experience nor extensive knowledge in the purchasing process, sometimes I strongly felt that I wouldn’t be able to get the house due to various reasons as the purchasing process includes several tasks that need to be all accomplished. If you are a homeowner, you would have known what I meant. But if you are a first time buyer and are considering or looking to buy your first home, you need an experienced and knowledgable real estate professional to guide you through from the first day of seeing a house till moving into the house. There are many talented and excellent real eastate processionals in the market, but when the time comes for me to buy my second home, Marsha shall be my first choice as my real estate agent."

"I reached out to Ms. Washington for her assistance is helping my elderly aunt sell her home within a short period of time so that we could relocate her out of state. Ms. Washington arrived promptly to conduct a walkthrough of the home and when she sat down with us, she listened to our concerns and needs and devised a plan to sell the house quickly. I was really impressed with her network of buyers who she thought might be interested in the home. She arranged for them to come through to see the property and within a week, she produced an offer from pre-approved buyers who were interested in the property; and we had a signed contract shortly thereafter. Having closed a couple days ago, my aunt is relieved, excited to have the sale behind her; and looking forward to relocating. I highly recommend her without reservation for her knowledge and competence, professionalism, patience and the care shown to my aunt during an overwhelming time."
