Marsha Badger – 8z Real Estate

Marsha Badger was our dream realtor! How did we get so lucky to have ramdomly picked her name from the phone book a few years ago when we were considering moving to Boulder? Since that time, Marsha has kept us in the loop on the Boulder realty market and inventory. When we finally were ready to make the big move, she worked tirelessly to show us every area of Boulder and all of the inventory. She contacted us every day with new homes and ideas to share. When we finally found a home to purchase, she was there to walk us through the process. Throughout it all, and even after closing, Marsha has been there to make sure everything was done to our benefit. She was our ‘eyes’ during the inspection, she has made sure repairs have been done and even contacted her own sources to take care of them, she has followed up with the sellers in our behalf to make sure everything is going as planned. She is a smart cookie – she knows her real estate backwards and forwards, and being from Boulder, she knows every inch of the county and what the resale value of each area will bring. And we know that she has a stellar reputation with other realtors… we saw that first hand. Every realtor we spoke with had a tremendous amount of respect for her and always stressed how hard she works for her clients (we already knew that!) We feel extremely fortunate that we selected Marsha as our realtor, and we now consider her to be a friend. She gets an A plus in our book and we would definitely recommend her to ANYONE moving to Boulder!

We engaged Marsha to help us find a home in Boulder upon relocating from California. We weren’t exactly sure where in Boulder we wanted to live, but Marsha was knowledgeable about the different areas and showed us homes from Chautauqua to Dakota Ridge. Inventory was tight and the market competitive, conditions to which we were no strangers, having come from a similar market. However, there are key differences in the two markets, and we needed to rely heavily on Marsha’s knowledge of trends and prices, and she came through for us.
When we saw the house we ended up buying come on the market, Marsha immediately got us in to see it and helped us put together an offer on the Friday before the first open house even took place. Our offer was accepted and then the seller went out of the country. Our own lives were in a bit of flux, and things got a little stressful during the contract period. In the end Marsha got our deal done and we were very happy with the result.
Buying in a market we didn’t know posed a challenge, but one that Marsha helped guide us through effectively. It’s been over six months and we love our location. We feel that we got a lot of value for what we paid and the leap of faith we took has paid off: we are a less-​than-​10 minute bike ride to Pearl Street, there is a nice family next door with kids of the same age as ours, we are a two-​minute drive from school and the house meets all of our basic needs and wants. We have Marsha to thank!
