Marikate Wazevich Top 3% of Realtors Nationally, Luxury Real Estate

Marikate is the best! It’s almost uncanny how she picked up on our reactions, no matter how subtle, and asked pertinent follow-up questions. She was totally focused on getting us into the right house for us, not just on making a sale. Her patience and stamina were truly amazing, all with unwavering good humor and even fun. We never doubted her honesty or intentions — she worked tirelessly for us and actually became a friend whom we will enjoy seeing in our new surroundings. If you need an agent who knows her market and the real estate business like the back of her hand, go with MK! She is tops and will not disappoint. (Rocky River Buyer)
