"Marissa has been our go-to realtor since we moved to Austin 6 years ago. We've now bought two homes and sold one with her and I really can't say enough positive things. Her communication skills are impeccable -- she's quick to respond, thorough in her explanations and will adapt to your communication preference, whether that's email/text/phone call -- she is extremely knowledgeable about the Austin area, market conditions, interest rates, etc. I threw so many questions at her and she went above and beyond to get me the info I needed to make informed decisions. She negotiated tactfully and strategically on our behalf and took ownership of selling our home. Besides all that, she's really personable and has such a positive disposition. I can't recommend her enough and have already sent a few folks her way through the years."

"Marissa knows how to get a deal done—plain and simple. I had purchased multiple homes, but selling is a whole different ballgame. On top of that, we had multiple complicating factors that created a unique situation both personally and with respect to the property itself. Marissa handled every issue with ease, displaying professionalism and strength at the negotiating table but also while maintaining a sense of empathy and calmness in our personal interaction. She is top notch! "

"Marissa is EXCELLENT. Regardless of where in your journey you are when it comes to real estate, it’s important to have someone in your corner. She should be that person. We have worked with Marissa for almost 7 years now from finding our first home to rent in South Austin, to our first purchase in Austin during the wild Covid times, to our most recent purchase in Spicewood. Whether it’s your first home, or your tenth, Marissa brings craft and tact to her work. Two things that are highly underrated when you think of any profession. She listens, pays attention to the details and is transparent. She’s not afraid to share her opinion but most importantly, we have felt she understands us. Work with her. You won’t regret it."

I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She is the only agent I will use in the future to sell and buy."

Marissa’s professionalism, deep knowledge of the local market, and her unwavering dedication turned what could have been a stressful experience into a delightful journey.
From the start, Marissa was incredibly accommodating and always available to answer our myriad of questions. She meticulously explained each step of the process, ensuring we understood everything from making an offer to closing the deal. Her expertise in negotiating was evident as she managed to secure significant concessions from the seller.
One of the most impressive aspects of working with Marissa was her proactive communication. She kept us informed at every stage, never leaving us in the dark. Her ability to adapt and handle unexpected challenges with grace and efficiency was particularly reassuring.
Marissa’s personable approach made us feel comfortable and confident throughout. Her attention to detail and genuine care for her clients set her apart from other realtors we have encountered. She didn’t just help us find a house; she helped us find our dream home, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.

As an Agent, her professionalism showed with everything she did, listening to us, timely on- going communication, being extremely knowledgeable of the lenders.

"Marissa Homes has been instrumental in assisting us with the purchase of our first and second homes. As first-time homeowners, the process can be daunting, but Marissa's expertise and knowledge were invaluable. She patiently answered all of our questions and provided clear explanations. Even after we moved into our first home, she remained available to address any concerns we had. Marissa's dedication and willingness to help made us feel supported throughout the entire process.
When it came time to purchase our second home, we knew we wanted to work with Marissa again. She went above and beyond, attending blue tape and deco appointments to offer her support and guidance. We never felt like we were alone in the process. Marissa and her team provided exceptional service.
In addition to her assistance with our home purchases, Marissa also helped us rent out our first home, guiding us through the complexities of that process. We are deeply grateful for her time and dedication, even on weekends, as she understands the significance and importance of these major life decisions.
Thank you, Marissa, for your unwavering support and expertise. We truly appreciate your commitment to helping us navigate these significant milestones.

"Marissa was amazing to work with! This review is long overdue but she helped my husband and I sell our home in Austin in 2022. She made the entire process stress free and was extremely professional. The marketing plan she provides is also top notch. We were thrilled with the turnout at our open house and the offers that came in after just three days on the market. We wouldn't have been able to do it without Marissa! I recommend Marissa to anyone who will listen."

"Marissa was an AMAZING realtor to work with! We were referred to her by some close friends and we are so happy we decided to work with her as a realtor. Marissa is extremely professional and is very knowledgeable about the industry. She knows the right questions to ask, is extremely organized and quick to respond, arrives to appointments/meetings on time, and is just an overall wonderful person. I've never met someone who works as hard as she does! Marissa was able to get us a 4.75% interest rate (current rates are 7-8%) and was always looking out for us throughout the loan process. At our closing, she gave us a beautiful welcome home gift basket full of items to make our new home more cozy. We'll be recommending Marissa to many of our friends and we're so thankful for her!!"

"I had the pleasure of working with Marissa as my realtor when I purchased a house four years ago, and recently, she assisted me with selling that very same house in just four days! Not only that, but Marissa also helped me navigate the process of purchasing a new build. I cannot praise her enough for her professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to her clients. Marissa's expertise in the real estate market is truly remarkable. From the very beginning, she exhibited a deep understanding of the industry, providing valuable insights and guidance throughout the entire process. She made sure to keep me well-informed, ensuring I understood all the details and steps involved in selling and buying a home. One thing that truly sets Marissa apart is her unwavering support for her clients. She is not afraid to stand up for their best interests, always advocating for the most favorable outcomes. Even during the challenging moments of selling and buying a home, Marissa remained positive, offering encouragement and reassurance that everything would work out. Her caring nature and genuine concern for her clients' well-being were evident throughout our entire journey. Marissa's ability to sell my house in just four days was simply astounding. Her marketing strategies were on point, attracting numerous potential buyers and generating considerable interest. She ensured that the selling process was smooth and efficient, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Additionally, when it came to purchasing a new build, Marissa's attention to detail was impeccable. She thoroughly reviewed contracts, specifications, and warranties, making sure I was protected and well-informed at every stage. Her knowledge of the construction process and the real estate market proved invaluable, allowing me to make informed decisions and securing the perfect home for my needs.

She is beyond kind, thoughtful, thorough and so knowledgeable! She explained every step of the process to us and answered our early morning/late night questions, with no hesitation.

- Savannah Q.
★★★★★
"We decided to buy a new build during one of the toughest times when interest rates were rapidly rising, the builder was suffering from mismanagement, delays, complete lack of communication, and an appraisal that came in significantly lower than expected. As first time home buyers, the above would've been impossible to navigate as it was almost a complete nightmare scenario if it wasn't for Marissa Holmes. We were referred to her by our friends and they did us the biggest favor in doing so. She's one of the best realtors you can get and will be your champion throughout the entire process. If it wasn't for Marissa, we would've gone through hell but she helped us stay on course and did an excellent job of communicating our needs and issues with the builder. In the end, I would recommend Marissa Holmes 10 out of 10 times to anyone in need of a realtor as 5/5 stars is simply not enough for what she did for us!"

- Rachael L.
★★★★★
"Marissa offered us the best possible experience when purchasing a home that anyone could ask for. During the run up in 2021 it was crucial to have a realtor that you could trust. Marissa gave us sound advice and was present throughout the entire process. She attended design sessions, home walk throughs, final taping and even closing. When I recommended her to friends of mine they were just as satisfied as we were. Do yourself a favor and work with one of the best realtors in Austin."
- Diego D.
★★★★★
"In this ultra-competitive Austin, Texas “seller’s market” it’s imperative to have a pit bull with finesse to set you apart from the rest. Thankfully combined with our persistence, my on point offer letter, and Marissa’s expertise I was able to land a beauty of a home in the community I wanted that had several offers, all while staying within budget. I absolutely recommend Marissa Holmes if you need to buy or sell your next homevv"

"Last year, my family decided it is time to purchase our first home. Not wanting to stay any longer in Virginia, we thought to try out the housing market in Austin. We don't know anyone in Austin and so looking for a realtor was a bit of a challenge. Went on Instagram and looked at a couple of profiles until we saw Marissa Holmes. Read some of her reviews and decided to drop her a line. We were a bit cautious on how it will work but that quickly changed. Marissa took us on as clients and treated us as family. She went above and beyond from setting up homes to view during our first visit to Austin to making sure all our wants and needs were met. She coordinated with the home builder, the project manager onsite, home inspectors and even did the final walk-through for us. She represented us very well having only our best intentions in mind. Marissa is heaven-sent, she made sure she stayed on top of things until we moved in. There are no words to express how thankful we are to have met Marissa. Thank you and more power to you!"

"Having Marissa Holmes as our realtor was hands down the best experience ever! We were nervous at first because we did not know the first thing about choosing a realtor and were deciding between a handful, but THANK GOD we went with Marissa Holmes!!! We are first-time home buyers, so when we first entered this process, we literally had no idea what we were doing. Marissa made sure to explain everything and did not stop until she was 10000% sure we understood and felt comfortable each step of the way! Not only that, but she found us the PERFECT home in such a crazy market. We are extremely blessed to have been able to work with her and would recommend her 10000 times over! BEST REALTOR EVER!!!"

"Marissa was amazing. From the beginning of our home buying process back in December to closing last week— she went above and beyond for us. Purchasing a new build from across the country was scary, but she made the process easy and made us feel relaxed/comfortable. She completed check-ins on the home during the building process and would send videos and photos. And made sure that the builder stayed on the timeline. We are so grateful to have found her via Instagram! Marissa is truly a gem."

It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway, that we will absolutely be referring any of our friends/coworkers looking for a home to Marissa and the team. "
- Lee T.
★★★★★
"Marissa was the best partner we could imagine for purchasing our first home. She helped us understand the market dynamics in Austin early in the process so we could build a realistic budget, and once we found a home we wanted to pursue (building vs. buying), she helped drive the process forward despite a long year of delays with our new build. Marissa was truly the reason we were able to close on our home when we did and was always there for us to take a call and answer our infinite questions throughout the process. I would recommend Marissa to any homebuyer in the Austin area, she is truly a master at her profession and we feel fortunate to have partnered with her to find our dream home."

"As first-time home buyers, we were completely unaware of the process as well as where to start with a new build. Marissa was helpful, always quick to respond, and organized.

Now, as some time has passed in our new home, she has still been here for us to answer questions as they arise. We loved working with Marissa and will absolutely be recommending her to anyone we know looking to purchase a home in the Austin area! "

She was dedicated to my needs and made sure to ask all the questions I didn't know to even ask! She has a sense of urgency like no other, and her service is impeccable. Marissa is a truly a lifesaver and delivered over 15 perfect showings for me in under 48 hours."
- Alison S.
★★★★★
"Marissa was so great to work with! We moved to Austin from the Dallas area for a job change and quickly discovered that we wanted to buy new construction, which meant we would be strapped for a place to live for a few months at least until our home was built. Marissa miraculously found us a short term apartment lease that was just the right amount of time for the home build, so we never had to worry about it! She's so approachable and responds super fast via text, email, or phone call. Would 110% work with her again and recommend her to anyone who's looking to buy in the Austin area!"
- Ashlee P.
★★★★★
" Marissa is like a breath of fresh air to work with! After our recent terrible experiences with many Realtors, we were absolutely blown away by her professionalism, kindness, and openness. We felt like she always had our best interests at heart during our home search. In the midst of a big move from Minnesota down to Texas, she made the process as painless as possible. Along with delivering excellent customer service, she has many great recommendations for vendors she works with to help you along the way, all of which are excellent! She and her team are great to work with. I'm already planning to give her a call in a few years when I'm ready to move again!

"We started working with Marissa two years ago when we were searching for a rental here in Austin. It worked out so well. As we prepared for our home buying process, Marissa was there every step of the way to talk trends in the market and what we truly needed to be ready to take action in this crazy city that is Austin. Finally, we felt ready and tackled the home search head-on. Like most homebuyers, it took us a few attempts to land our home, but she never let us get discouraged, continued to be available at the drop of a hat, and, most importantly, always consulted with us on how to approach each specific home we were interested in. Whether it was priced too high or if we needed to act fast. My wife and I are grateful for Marissa, not only as our realtor but also for her friendship and thoughtfulness over the past two years. I highly recommend her for her professionalism and eagerness to do what is best for her clients! 12 out of 10 would recommend her."

We now have our dream home, thanks to her listening to our needs and never letting us forget that we deserved what our hearts desired.

We ended up buying in an area she had mentioned after hearing our wants, and we are very grateful for the home buying experience she provided. Marissa went above and beyond, in our opinion, and she is very friendly and always made us feel like she was giving advice on what was best for us during the entire experience. Thanks, Marissa!"

"Marissa was amazing to work with. As others have mentioned, her communication is clear and timely. She was so patient with my search, and when my housing needs shifted, her positivity and attention to detail made the process so easy! She helped me find a home that I love and was there to iron out some details after the paperwork was finished. Another 14/10, would definitely work with her again in the future!"

"Marissa first helped my roommates and I find our rental property, which was in an incredible location and exactly what we wanted. I was hoping to have the same, if not better, experience working with her finding a forever home. Marissa exceeded my expectations by a mile. She was responsive, very honest, and realistic, and lastly, truly cared I found the right home for me. Her negotiation skills saved me a lot of money in the end, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. She even suggested contractors for me to use for floors and repairs and had the seller pay for it. I couldn’t recommend Marissa enough."
