What my clients say about working with me:

"If I could give Marilyn 10 stars, I would do it in a heartbeat! From the moment we started our home-buying journey in March to closing the deal and moving into our dream home in April, Marilyn was there every step of the way. Her dedication and support were truly exceptional. Marilyn’s expertise and commitment to finding us the perfect home made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She went above and beyond, fighting for us and ensuring that our needs were met. We are incredibly grateful for Marilyn’s hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone in search of their perfect home. Thank you, Marilyn, for everything!"

"Marilyn is fierce in a good way! Marilyn J. Freedman is a passionate, hardworking top agent in Westwood dedicated to exceeding her client's expectations on every transaction. She diligently helps clients to both sell and buy homes using her extensive network of contacts, strong negotiating and marketing skills, and powerful dedication to making clients' dreams and goals come true. She was everything we wanted and needed. She took the time to listen to our needs and answer our questions. We needed to move across the country fast and Marilyn fought for us and helped us take on every obstacle in our way. We feel like we found the perfect town and a house to call home. You can bet if we ever outgrow this house, Marilyn will be the first person we call."
