I contacted Herb Shippee and did I ever luck out. He is honest , knowledgeable and a real pro ! He foresaw a lot of concerns and got me answers and information ASAP. You want him to handle your real estate transactions. I am very happy with his efforts and results.

Unfortunately I found my time working with Herb Shippee and Marion to be very disappointing. . I am looking for a fix/flip home in the capital region. I located the homes. I found Herb to be a very nice and eager to do a good job but very reactive vs proactive. I located a property for me to buy and was told that the current tenants had to be out in 30 days after my offer. I paid $100 for a contractor to view the home but found it locked. So we paid a 2nd visit. I paid $400 for a contractor to view the home and his electrician to view it at $225. We were ready to make an offer and Herb finds out the agreement to move out in 30 days was not signed. This would have been very easy to check and just make sure the move out agreement was in place. But this wasn’t done. When I voiced to Marion my thoughts it was easier to tell me to move on than to rectify the situation. That’s the what happened. I can’t recommend the Marion DeSantis brokerage. Very poor service.

It has been a pleasure to work with Marion DeSantis and her entire team. Marion provided us with great advice which we followed and achieved outstanding results. Marion's team executed flawlessly, driving substantial interest in our property and generating multiple offers. Their communication during the process was beyond expectations. There were no surprises at any point. I could not recommend Marion more highly and will become a source of referrals in the future.

I’ve had the pleasure of being a buyers agent on the Marion DeSantis Team for the past year, and it has been an incredible learning experience to learn from one of the best in the business. Recently, I had the chance to experience Marion’s work from a client’s perspective and it was exceptional! Our house sold within days, significantly above the asking price. Marion’s dedication and expertise shone through, making the process smooth and successful. It has been a truly rewarding experience.

After selling my family's home and working with a realtor who I feel didn't look out for our interests, I inherited another house in the Capital District and went in search of a realtor who would not only help us get the house ready for sale, but price it fairly and be an advocate for us during sale negotiations. I found this person in Marion Desantis and her team. Before listing, Marion gave us great advice about how to get the house ready for sale so that we could maximize our profit. She even provided a list of contractors who could help us quickly get the projects done so that we could list the house in a timely manner. When we received multiple offers - most above asking! - Marion helped us sort through them all and determine which was the best offer for us to go with. The result was a relatively easy sale and profit for us. I would recommend Marion to anyone selling a home in the Capital District.

Marion has been my realtor for both selling a home 10 years ago and purchasing my current home. I would not dream of using anyone else! I was very nervous going into the current purchase as a newly single person and Marion was there for me every step of the way. She knows the business inside and out. She was incredibly responsive to all my questions and concerns. She is the best in the Capital District!

I had the pleasure of meeting Marion when she served as the presenter at a senior downsizing seminar. Impressed by her expertise, my wife and I decided to enlist her services to sell our home, aiming to ease the transition in our lives. Marion's invaluable advice and knowledge made a significant difference throughout the process. Her expertise is unmatched! The Marion DeSantis team demonstrated exceptional care and maintained excellent communication with us throughout the process of selling our home. If you're in search of the finest real estate experience, I wholeheartedly endorse collaborating with them.

I has known Marion for over two decades. During my tenure as a Physician Recruiter at Ellis Medicine, I consistently recommended her to new doctors joining the Ellis Medicine team. When the time came for us to sell our own residence, there was never a doubt in my mind that Marion was the perfect choice to guide us through this process. We entered into this endeavor with exceptionally high expectations, and I was delighted to find that Marion and her team not only met but exceeded them. Her professionalism, meticulous attention to detail, and outstanding communication skills made for an incredibly smooth home-selling experience, ultimately resulting in a sale that surpassed our asking price. If you are in search of a real estate team that not only caters to your needs but also genuinely cares about their clients, I wholeheartedly recommend choosing the Marion DeSantis team.

We had an excellent experience with Marian DeSantis as our realtor. She went above what we expected in terms of her performance in selling our house. We had some extra problems that she met with her experience and added kindness. As we accepted her opinions they proved so valuable in terms of attracting the right buyers. We naturally would recommend her to anyone trying to sell their home.It was a good experience as it could be in selling a home, which you know is stressful in itself. She is so experienced in her field with the added trait of kindness, and that is so valuable in this day and age!

Marion DeSantis and her team were excellent from start to conclusion. Marion advised me well every step of the way and her professional guidance was always spot on. My home was in contract in a matter of days after coming on the market and it sold quickly and I was very pleased with the sale. Thanks, Marion!

Her understanding of current market trends and neighborhood dynamics made us feel confident we were working with a knowledgeable industry expert. The DeSantis teams marketing strategies showcased our property in the best possible light.

It was an awesome experience working with Marion. I am confident that I made the perfect decision because her extensive knowledge and experience in the housing market and pricing trends proved to be incredibly valuable. As a seller located out of town, I genuinely appreciated her constant communication and responsiveness throughout the entire selling process. Marion's meticulous attention to detail was also a great asset as she went above and beyond to ensure my home was in pristine condition before listing it. From thorough cleaning to power washing, she took care of every aspect. Furthermore, her exceptional negotiation skills resulted in multiple offers on my home and a higher sale price than my initial asking price. I enthusiastically recommend Marion to anyone seeking assistance with their real estate needs.

My journey with Marion commenced two years ago, even before I officially signed with her. Prior to enlisting Marion's services, I had worked with two other agents who were unsuccessful in meeting my dual needs of selling my home and assisting me in finding a new one. However, right from the start, Marion made me feel valued and important. Our initial conversations took place two years ago, and even before I became a client, Marion included me in her client appreciation initiatives, going so far as to send me a delightful box of chocolates.From the beginning to the end of our collaboration, Marion proved to be an invaluable source of support. Not only did she guide me throughout the entire process, but she also provided valuable recommendations and referred skilled contractors who helped us complete necessary renovations. Additionally, Michelle, a member of Marion's team and the buyer's agent, was absolutely fantastic in helping us locate the perfect home.Marion and her team exhibited exceptional negotiation skills, resulting in the sale of our home above the asking price amidst multiple offers. Simultaneously, they facilitated the purchase of our new home at a favorable price. Marion's profound understanding of the market and extensive experience make her the ideal choice for all your real estate requirements.Working with the Marion DeSantis team was an absolute pleasure, and I highly recommend their services.Ron and Peggy Levin
