In 2023, she was honored as one of HousingWire's Women of Influence, a national recognition awarded to only 100 women professionals, in celebration of her leadership and role in paving the way for North Carolina's ultraluxury market. Additionally, she has been honored to be named among Sotheby's International Realty's® Top 100 Advisors in the world.
With four record-breaking transactions representing both buyers and sellers, she continues to raise the bar for excellence in Western North Carolina.

Before these historic transactions, the record was set at $9.6 million - a sale she also closed in March 2023 in Buncombe County. Adding to her impressive achievements, she successfully represented both the buyer and the seller in a $9.3 million sale in Transylvania County.

Her work has been featured in Mansion Global, The Wall Street Journal and RealTrends Verified.
Known for her innovative, transparent approach and elevated marketing strategies, Marilyn has built a referral-based business defined by discretion, professionalism and personalized service. She is a member of Sotheby's exclusive Market Leaders network - connecting elite agents worldwide and offering her clients global reach and strategic advantage.
An eighth-generation Western North Carolinian, Marilyn pairs unmatched regional insight with over 15 years of experience leading one of the area's largest luxury homebuilding firms.
