Testimonials

"Thanks for the call the other day. The house is definitely keeping us busy. The first couple of days were a little crazy... There was an exposed wire in the garage that was sparking which gave us a little scare. We are learning a ton about home maintenance, which is a good thing. As you said the first day we saw the house "it was a home run for us." Thanks sticking with us throughout the entire process. You were a huge help, and I would recommend you to anyone looking at purchasing a home."

I hope that we can stay in touch. Thanks again.

"What with moving in, unpacking, getting used to running an old home in the dead of winter, and then christmas (yikes!), I realize I have been remiss in thanking you for all your assistance throughout the purchase and your thoughtful housewarming gift.  Both Fran and I are of the belief that you stand head and shoulders above other REALTORs we have worked with in the past (I shan't mention any names) and we are so thankful that we ran into you to navigate this most onerous (at times) purchase; and then for you to give us such a 'from the heart' housewarming gift is most appreciative!  

Thanks again for everything and remember if you are ever in the neighborhood, drop in, the coffee is always on!"

"It was a pleasure to work with the professional people of the Page Taft GMAC Realty group. They went above and beyond to educate me about Connecticut Real Estate and work with me to find the best house for me. It was a great experience and I am looking forward to enjoying the Connecticut shoreline."

Mick,We want to thank you for helping us find the beautiful Home we wanted for our return to the East Coast, you were/are so dedicated to finding exactly what your clients want. Your extensive knowledge of Real Estate and the area is very impressive along with your great personality which made the time spent with you fun instead of what usually would be a stressful time. Thank you for checking on our House and all the "extra" things that you have done for us way after closing! We look forward to being your neighbor and friend.

For Mick's future clients: I have bought and sold eight homes in my lifetime and Mick Marsden is the best realtor I have ever seen. Mick was able to sell my home in three months after it had already been on the market for one year in a depressed market! I highly recommend that you choose Mike "Mick" Marsden as your realtor whether you are a buyer or seller, you won't get better service anywhere.
Dr. Michael Giordano, Clinton, CT

Tina is a wonerful real estate agent.She's smart, savvy and full of energy. She knows how to treat a customer. I would like to see Tina put on the approved realtor list for Pfizer relocation group. Tina is very professional and great for people like us who don't have a lot of time to search for homes. She listens, takes photos when you can't travel in and makes things very stress free!
P & L Butera, Westbrook, CT

When we needed to sell our residence in order to purchase a new house, Mike had all the answers. He provided a team that helped us every step of the way, from staging our house for sale to finding the home of our dreams. Mike worked openly with us, and made both of our transactions smooth in every way. We would recommend Mike to anyone buying or selling a home.
Matt & Zoe Belcher

[Mick], you are the exception to the real estate standard. The purchase of our "dream home" was one of the most enjoyable experiences my wife and I have shared. Thank you, and we are honored to share your friendship.
Tony & Pam Scinto

Michael went above and beyond the call of duty in helping us find our home. In this age of computers and non-personal communication, it was a true pleasure in dealing with Michael.
Steven Luster, MD

You will most definitely be recommended by us to anyone that requests the need of a REALTOR?. We do not know, nor have ever heard of any other agent more committed to their clients than you were with us. We cannot thank you enough.
Sarah and John Tierney, 1st time home buyers

We found Mike extremely personable and responsive. His photographic talents were instrumental in getting our property sold. He was an absolute pleasure to work with.
Dr. William and Sharon Balcom

As a result of Mike's conscientious and persistent efforts, [our] home was sold BEFORE all repairs were completed (at very close to our original target price), and the sale closed immediately upon completion of the repair work. I would recommend Mike Marsden without hesitation.
James M. Quist

Tina was outstanding, knowledgable & thorough. I would recommend her in the future without reservation.
A & G Cohen, Old Saybrook, CT

I wanted to let you know that working with Michael Marsden has been a pleasure. I have had the opportunity to work with many agents; I will state that Mike has been the best agent I have ever worked with. He listened to my goals, concerns, and interests, and he did a great job in finding me an investment property that would fit my current situation.
Guy Fucci

Mick has an in-depth knowledge of the real estate market in all of its facets, which was a great asset to us and made us feel very confident that we had the right realtor. We are extremely grateful that we met Mick and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their property. He will take great care of you!
Rick and Kathy Pianka

One never knows whether [the service] will continue in reality past the closing when the money is in the pocket!. We're pleased and relieved that your're not a "red light guarantee" kind of guy. I hope your agency realizes what a gem they have in you... Hope to see you sometime soon."
Maura and Dennis O'Connor


Dear Ms. Stephens:

We have been informed that you have built your business, company, agency, and reputation on the principles of ethics, service to the customer, and professionalism.  I value those principles since I am a small businessman as well who has built my business and reputation upon the same principles. It simply works!!!!

Well, I want to let you know that those principles have been exemplified by your agent, Tina Gardiner!!!         

Tina is our buyer representative in our prospective purchase of our "Dream Home", 34 1st Avenue, Westbrook, where we plan to retire. She has been tremendous!! Her ethics are evident in every step of the process; her service to the customer is evident in her communication skills where she has kept us informed by phone or email every step of the way, whether the news is good or bad; and her professionalism is evident in her persistence, knowledge of the real estate principles, fairness, confidentiality, and representation of our best interests.         

You are a lucky business owner to have such a person who exemplifies the principles in your business and enhances your business's reputation. And how do you quantify the value of the referrals we are going to direct to your business through Tina?????     

We just thought you ought to know!!! And when we meet you personally, we will tell you in person!!
Sincerely,
 
Ed & Sandi Gales,
Excited New Prospective Shoreline Homeowners!!!!!
