Marc Olson (and his team) is the realtor all realtors should aspire to be! My experience working with Marc as my agent far exceeded my expectations as to the ease of selling my house and all that goes along with that process. I had already moved out of state before I putting the house on the market and Marc was instrumental in helping me get the house ready by contacting workmen to finish some little and some big projects and letting them into the house as needed. Marc has a great client base and had some prospective buyers in mind to look at the house as soon as it was on the market; he sold it for me in two days or less. Marc is the best, hardest working realtor I know of.

Marc has been our go-to for two house sales and two house purchases now. He's quick, responsive, insightful, and is excellent at reading what we need and want. We could not be more pleased, and are so happy to recommend him to others.

Helped me buy and sell homes • 1003 S I Ave, NV • 2019

Marc is a great realtor. When closing on our loan Marc did multiple things in the back ground to speed up the process. I really felt like Marc was putting us first. I am very happy that we chose Marc as our agent. I will refer him to everyone I know in the future.

Marc delivered on his estimate of how long it would take to sell our home. As we had already moved, Marc and the MORE Team kept us informed on showings, open houses, 2nd appointments, and throughout the offer/negotiation process. Marc and his team advised us regularly during the purchase period, and our closing went very smoothly. We very much appreciate Marc and his team's work, and couldn't be happier with the results.

I didn’t pick Marc - my parents did when they decided to sell their property and I was left to make it happen after they no longer lived there. Marc was understanding and courteous of our situation as it was not the norm. His team was prompt and kept me in the loop. Although it took longer to sell than anticipated, they got the job done and everyone was happy. Thanks Marc and Rachel!

Helped me buy and sell homes • 336 Westwood Dr, NV • 2019

Marc helped me sell my current home and found me a home before it was even on the market. His knowledge of the area is unmatchable and I highly recommend him and his team!

We needed to sell our two homes (one rental and one acreage) due to moving out of the country. We chose Marc due to him being highly recommended by our insurance agent. We really liked that Marc has a "can do" attitude, and really knows the local resources and the folks of the community. I would highly recommend him.

Listed and sold a home • 827 7th St, NV • 2019

Bought our home through Marc and Jen prior to starting school in Ames and loved working with them so much we sold through them when it was time to sell 4 years later. Jen was fantastic to work with and made sure buying our first home was a smooth process and we found the perfect home for us; the experience we had with her then ensured we sold through her and Marc as well. Marc and Jen are both fantastic to work with, prompt, and make the transitions buying and selling as easy as possible. They made us feel that they prioritized selling our home quickly and at a fair price. We have and will continue to recommend them to our friends and family.

When we decided to list our home for sale, we immediately thought of using Marc Olson's team because we had worked with them in the past. They made each step of the listing and selling process so easy and stress-free for us! Marc was extremely responsive to all of our questions and concerns along the way. The one thing that we really appreciated is that Marc and his team were very honest and upfront with every piece of the process which made us confident in the decisions we were making. We feel very fortunate that we were able to sell our home in less than two weeks! We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
