  In Santa Fe, where no two transactions are
ever alike, nothing compensates for experience. Having spent nearly two decades
in Santa Fe real estate, Marilyn has worked tirelessly to earn her reputation
as one of Santa Fe's top brokers. Her tenacity, attention to detail and
background in writing, photo-journalism, and fine arts photography have proved
invaluable in making her clients' properties stand out. She works equally hard
at representing her clients who are looking to buy a home, land or investment
property. Her straight-forward approach and stamina have earned her the respect
of her clients and colleagues alike.
A Denver native, Marilyn graduated from
Colorado State University with a degree in journalism and photography and
pursued her MFA in Oregon. Arriving in Santa Fe in the mid-70s, she freelanced
for the Albuquerque Journal as its cultural arts photographer, and then helmed
the Orchestra of Santa Fe's marketing department. She was one of the first
agents to join French & French Fine Properties in 1985, and has helped the
company grow from a small husband-and-wife team into Santa Fe's market leader.
Giving back to the community is a priority
for Marilyn. As a committee member of the Buckaroo Ball, the producer of the
largest charity event in Santa Fe, Marilyn has chaired the annual Buckaroo Ball
House and Garden tour for the last three years. She is also an avid supporter
of the Institute of American Indian Art. In her spare time, she skis, travels
and indulges her passion for photography. Her work has been featured in
galleries and published collections.

Selling Your Home >Selling and Lock Boxes
Having your house on the market involves a certain invasion of your privacy. Real estate agents will be previewing it and showing it to buyers with some regularity. While you want to make your home reasonably accessible to the real estate professionals and their prospects, you don't want to run the risk of stepping out of your shower just as a broker is ushering in buyers.
In many areas real estate agents use a handy little tool of the trade called a "lock box". When a property is occupied, the agent first calls to let the owner know when they will be coming by. If no one is at home, the agent can get into the house with a key stored in the lock box.
The other extreme of accessibility is to require a day's notice before a showing, and to insist that your real estate agent be present at each one. This will eliminate a lot of the inconvenience to you, but it may also eliminate a lot of showings of your house. Whatever arrangements you work out, keep in mind that the easier you make it for real estate agents to open and show your home, the easier it will be to sell it quickly.
