-Steven and Marti Dean

"Marsha handled the purchase of a new home and the sale of our existing home. She was able to quickly find a number of homes meeting our needs. She helped us plan for and sell our home quickly. Marsha was always easy to reach and kept us informed as both closings progressed. A truly professional job!"

"The level of service Marsha provides stands head and shoulders above the rest! We continue to look forward to hearing from her in the future as we get closer to making our move a reality."
-Randy and Liz Martin

"We both work and just didn't have time to spend every weekend looking at homes. Marsha talked to us to find our preferences, then showed us a couple of homes. When she had a good idea of our needs, she kept checking the MLS, previewed homes, and only called us when a good candidate came along. The process was painless, and we got a great buy on just the right house!"
-John Allen and Megan Snyder

Coldwell Banker is fortunate to have someone like Marsha on their team."

High Desert - A Beautiful Planned Community

I have a special interest in planned developments that minimally impact the landscape and habitat, such as High Desert and Mariposa--communities conceived, designed and built to preserve nature's delicate balance. Both are sustainable communities that honor their Southwestern roots and habitats. Residents enjoy an extensive network of trails, bike paths, preserved open spaces, variety of wildlife and colorful vegetation.

I live in High Desert located in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains and enjoy photographing all the natural beauty at every opportunity. It is a photographer's paradise!

Personal Background

I was born in Marshfield, WI. Growing up I also lived in Montana, Idaho and New York (quite a change from the wild west!). I have also lived in NYC (Manhattan), New Jersey, Indiana, Virginia, Ohio, Oregon, Arizona and California (for 22 yrs.!). I met my husband, Rick, while working at General Electric in Syracuse, NY. He was borned and raised in Tennessee, so I have spent considerable time in that lovely state as well.

While living in the San Francisco Bay Area for many years was exciting and rewarding, my husband and I were ready to move on and find another place that was also very special but where life moved at a little slower pace.

Albuquerque and The Land of Enchantment have turned out to be all we ever wanted and much more! We have absolutely fallen in love with its rich history, the culture, diversity, the setting...the Sandia Mountains, West Mesa, Foothills, Rio Grande Valley, etc. It was the southwest architecture--so distinctively different and harmonious with the natural desert environment--that drew me into real estate and continues to inspire me. I have lived all over our wonderful country and can think of no better place to live, work, play and retire!
