It is our pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Marika Feibel, our real estate broker. My husband and I were fortunate to have selected Marika to help us with a recent property search and purchase. We first reached out to Marika to look for a piece of land and already started the search process, but suddenly a house in a very desirable SE neighborhood came on the market and we had to make a purchasing decision in a day. Marika helped us to assess the house and determine that it was indeed an amazing property – a hidden gem with a huge potential. We appreciated how she pointed out the details and characteristics that can often be overlooked or underestimated, how she was able to highlight the pluses and also point out the possible issues. The process was complicated by the fact that at that time I was overseas, but Marika kept moving the purchasing procedure along quickly and worked long hours with my husband to help arrange the inspection and pull together the paperwork. Thanks to her, our the whole process was so fast and smooth that we had to pinch ourselves to believe that it had really happened – no snags, no delays, no complications. Having Marika felt like working alongside a good friend who knows what we want and is looking out for us. She is attentive, professional, knowledgeable, a great communicator, extremely well-organized, with a great attention to detail. We highly recommend Marika for your real estate needs.

It is my pleasure to recommend Marika Feibel to anyone planning to purchase or sell a home. In the past few months, she has helped me do both. I very much appreciated Marika’s calm, caring, and thoughtful demeanor during what could have been a very stressful process. Always proactive and thinking ahead, Marika made sure that things were taken care of ahead of schedule. She gave spot-on advice in regards to pricing strategy, staging, and offer details. Her recommendations resulted in multiple offers and an outstanding offer that was accepted. Marika was accessible and very responsive during the entire selling and buying process and took time to answer any questions I had. She got things done when she said she would and kept me informed during the entire process. Marika is hands down one of the best agents I have worked with and I would not hesitate to use her service again.

In June, we sold our home in McMinnville and purchased a home in Beaverton with the help of Marika Feibel. We highly recommend Marika as a realtor if you are considering buying and/or purchasing a home. Despite the distance from her Portland office, Marika was reliable, dependable and hard-working. She understood our needs and always had our best interests in mind while helping us to find a new home. She handled both the sale of our home and the purchase of our home in a seamless manner helping to make this transition easy Even when we were confronted by delays in the process beyond our control, Marika was our advocate and fought hard to push the process along. She made sure that other parties were doing what they were supposed to do when they were supposed to do it. Marika never let us feel forgotten at anytime during the process. On a personal note, Marika is caring and conscientious and was a pleasure to work with. She became not just a business partner but a friend to our family. If we ever have the need, we would work with and continue to recommend Marika now and in the future.

As a returnee to the Pacific NW after being away for the better part of 10 years, I was hoping to find Marika still in real estate and was happy to find she was. Since early 2020 she helped me buy and sell a condo, and more recently a 1/4-acre property needed to facilitate a need for a multigenerational independent living arrangement. Inventory was low and it took months of searching and I was getting frustrated with the market. Nevertheless, she persisted as did I, thanks to her calm and reassuring manner. She is a skilled negotiator, with high professional standards. I’m happy to recommend her skills and services. When I met Marika in August 2013, I was looking for a temporary tenant until I sold my property. I found that and more! When Marika listed my condo on the river, I needed to feel I was in competent hands as I would be away for the first two weeks and I wanted the process to go smoothly as I was recovering from surgery. I found Marika to be professional and conscientious, with great follow through skills. She is tech-savvy and a good listener who pays attention to details. She gave me the advance notice I needed to process the necessary considerations with my sale. And she remained calm! Marika was prompt in responding to my questions and she went the extra mile to facilitate my sale while I was out of town. I’ve given her card to my neighbors upstairs, they listed their property with Marika and it was successfully sold within moments of the condo going on the market. I am pleased to recommend her.

Marika, we really want to thank you for your assistance and guidance in finding our house. You made us feel comfortable with a process that was new and daunting to us. And you answered all of our questions – how great is that! We’ll get back in touch to take you up on your offer of handyman and contractor referrals as we get settled in.

Marika helped me sell two houses during the pandemic. She was a complete professional and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the selling and buying process. Her comprehensive research and methods to determine pricing were impressive and as a result my properties sold in less than a week and for over asking price. In addition to being organized and businesslike, she was a lot of fun to work with and helped me keep my sense of humor even during difficult moments. She did whatever it took to get the job done, solving problems and providing me information and resources to get what I needed along the way. I’m so glad I worked with Marika!

Definitely among the top service experiences I’ve encountered. Marika is still in regular contact with us even though we bought the house three months ago. We would have been lost without her guidance and her network.

Marika Feibel at Inhabit Real Estate provided excellent service. Without her, we would have been lost. She was able to walk us through many of the complex hoops that were required. Marika also kept in contact with all of the parties as a mediator. This is above and beyond the expectations we had when choosing a “buyer realtor.” She was able to help us get a house in a very difficult market. I have a lot of trust issues and Marika is one of the few people I trust. She even put together a package to get our appraiser to revalue the house we were buying, because our offer was $15K higher. Our lender was skeptical but the appraiser looked at her data and changed the appraisal value, which is rare. It’s hard to find people like this in your life. Without her guidance, we would not be in this house right now. Thanks Marika.

Selling my home wasn’t going to be easy. From repairs to letting go of a 20-year relationship, Marika helped me to make the right decisions from listing to offers. I’ve referred her to 6 different people since I’ve worked with her, and all have shared their gratitude for her being so supportive in their process.

Buying a house is a complicated piece of business, especially when you live 3,000 miles away, as my wife and I do. Marika made it all happen. Of course, she brought her deep knowledge and experience to bear in helping us every step of the way, both when we were in town to look at places and back home in Boston when we wondering how we could make such a long-distance purchase happen. But beyond realtor experience, she brought a warm, friendly, emotionally intelligent touch to our business relationship as she learned not just what kind of place or neighborhood we wanted but also who we are as people. This allowed her to shape our search and fit it into our limited schedule. She was patient, helpful, practical in her advice, and always available to us from the start and continuing beyond the closing date and moving in. None of these positives surprised us, though, because Marika was also the realtor who walked my son a few years ago through all of the steps of first-time home buying in Portland. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in the housing market.
