About Me
Since 1988, I have been providing an unequaled level of service and advocacy for buyers and sellers of residential real estate in Pierce County. The areas I serve include the North End of Tacoma, University Place, Fircrest, Lakewood, Steilacoom, and Gig Harbor with a particular emphasis on view and waterfront properties.
I was born and raised in the Old Town neighborhood in Tacoma's North End and the know the areas I serve very well.
My husband and I have raised two sons and are the proud grandparents of fraternal twins, Mollee & Joe. They are the lights of my life.
When I am not working selling real estate, I spend my free time knitting, walking every morning at 5:30AM, and practicing Kundalini Yoga.
If you or someone you know is interested in buying or selling a home or investment property, please call me at 253 752-6342 or send an email to marsha@marshasells.com. You will be glad you did!

Amy, Home Buyer in Des Moines

Question removed

Asked Tue Aug 26 2008, 15:38 by Amy  -  Orting  -  Home Buying  -  7 answers
Marsha Cunningham answered:
Before looking at any homes, every buyer needs to be at a minimum, prequalified, and ideally preapproved. Once you find the home you want to purchase, you need to be in a position to make a strong offer and show the seller that you have the financial means to close the deal.
Pulling your credit, shouldn't affect your credit score, but ask your preferred lender that question before you authorize your credit to be pulled.
Good luck and let me know if you need help finding a home in North Tacoma.

Neige, Home Seller in Tacoma

We have a newer home in East Tacoma near E 47th st and Portland Ave. The house is nice rambler about 10

Asked Mon Aug 18 2008, 19:01 by Neige  -  98404  -  Home Selling  -  4 answers
Marsha Cunningham answered:
In general, unless tenants are very cooperative and allow the home to be shown with a minimum of 24 hours notice and keep the home in "show" condition, it is better to have the home vacant while on the market. With that said, in the current market, marketing times are taking longer, you need to think about how long you would be willing to carry the property without a tenant.
Another option, would be to offer the tenant a reduction in rent during the time the home is on the market as an incentive for the tenant to cooperate with showings.
Without seeing the property and doing a walkthrough, it is difficult to provide you with a price for your home. When you are ready, I would welcome the opportunity to provide you with a market consultation. - Tue Aug 19 2008, 07:44
Madaline Poc…, Home Buyer in North Carolina

My husband is in the Army and we are scheduled to arrive there in 2 weeks.

Asked Fri Aug 1 2008, 16:03 by Madaline Poc…  -  Fort Lewis  -  General Area  -  13 answers
Marsha Cunningham answered:
Hello Madaline,
My understanding is that you will be arriving in Ft. Lewis, WA in a few weeks. There are several neighborhoods near the base which offer what you are looking for.
For example, I have a home listed in Sylvan Park which is 1600 sf, 3 bdrms, 2 baths, and a beautiful back yard for $249,950. It is just about 10 minutes from the bases. In terms of foreclosures, most of thos homes are listed in the mls as well.
Your best bet would be to find a Realtor whom you are comfortable working with and consult with him/her.
In the Puget Sound market, NOW is a great time to buy. There are many nice homes to choose from and interest rates are still very good.
I hope this helps, Marsha - Sat Aug 2 2008, 07:59
