Here's what people are saying about Marie Jo:

"We just wanted to express how pleased we were with Marie Jo Atkins as our Real Estate Agent. We truly appreciated her professionalism and dedication to us, and her enthusiasm was much needed in a time of a lot of change in our lives. Her knowledge in the Real Estate Business was most helpful to us, and we sincerely hope that everyone is as lucky to have such a pleasant experience with their real estate transactions."


"It's nice to be able to count on someone she's happy to help when things need to be done!

Your experience, resourcefulness, energy, high standards, imagination and attention to the smallest detail exceeded our every expectation in the selling of our house. For every obstacle, there was a solution - over, under, around or through, you went beyond the call of duty doing your very best, in everything, in every way.

You always found ways to be kind, keeping our spirits going during the slow periods and making us feel special in spite of your busy schedule. We may forget how fast you sold our house, but we will always remember how well you did it!

Hopefully, you'll know this comes with lots more gratitude than words could ever show. Thank you for your help..."


"We would like to take time to thank you for all the effort you expended in the recent sale of our home. Over the years, we have sold several homes and this sale was by far the smoothest sale. From the first interview to closing, you responded to everything we requested of you and more. We always felt that we were "in touch" with whatever was going on.

The rapid sale of our house indicates to us that you were right on target when it came to helping us determine the price of our home. Your close work with the buyer's agent, also, helped us get the selling terms we required.

Marie Jo, as you know, during your interview, we expressed reservation about having to deal with "staff", instead of you. While you were our major contact during the majority of the transaction, your assistant, Tanys, proved to be an extremely capable substitute, if you were unavailable.

Although we are leaving the area, we can assure you if we return, you will definitely be the one we contact to help us find a home. Thanks again for all your help. Come and see us in Arizona."


"Many times, individuals do not hesitate to express their dissatisfaction with services or representatives of a company to their superiors. Not often enough, however, do people sit down to take to take the time to express their utter amazement at the superior performance and ultimate professionalism of one of your agents. Although Marie Jo is among your Chairman's Circle and top 1% nationally due to obviously hard work, from our first encounter with Marie Jo, she made us feel as if we were her most important client. She listened to our needs attentively and diligently set her efforts at presenting us homes which fit our needs physically and financially, all the while, never neglecting listings outside your brokerage.

We first made contact with Marie Jo in 1997, through the internet - as we were from our of state. Since then, we have successfully purchased and sold two homes in the San Diego area. She was able to bring us top dollar for our home, with little effort from us, and found us more value for our dollar in the two homes we purchased. We couldn't imagine utilizing anyone else for our real estate needs.

We can honestly say we have never experienced an agent of Marie Jo's caliber throughout lifetime of buying and selling real estate. Marie Jo's relentless pro-active approach to ensuring a smooth and timely closing is obvious as she has potential snags solved before they may ever appear. She is on top of the entire process.

We look forward to the possibility of working with Marie Jo Atkins again!"


"Thank you for all your hard work and dedication in helping to achieve such a successful close of escrow. My team and I work hard to provide quality service to our clients and we enjoy working with someone like you who obviously shares our philosophy.

I look forward to working with you again in the near future."
