Whether you're ready to upsize into Dublin or sell the home you've outgrown, I'll guide you through every step — with local knowledge no algorithm can match.
Move-up buyers have a unique challenge: you're not just finding a home, you're coordinating a sale, a purchase, a timeline, and a family — all at once. I've done this over 150 times. I know how to keep all the pieces moving so you don't have to.
Strategy session first
Before we look at a single listing, we map out your timeline, budget, and financing options — so every decision is made with clarity, not pressure.
Hyper-local Dublin search
I grew up here. I know Muirfield Village, Bridge Park, Ballantrae, and Historic Dublin — the schools, the streets, the neighbors. I'll match you to the right neighborhood, not just the right square footage.
Win in a competitive market
Dublin homes move fast. I'll position your offer to stand out — from escalation clauses to flexible closing dates — so you're not losing to buyers who got there an hour earlier.
Seamless close
Inspections, appraisals, lender coordination, title — I manage every moving part so your closing day is a celebration, not a scramble.
"I don't just open doors — I open the right ones. Every home I show you is intentional."
— Marissa MartinOff-market opportunities
My Dublin roots mean I often hear about homes before they hit the MLS. My clients have made offers on homes that were never publicly listed.
New construction expertise
Considering building? I have 8 years of new construction experience and can help you navigate builder contracts, upgrades, and timelines.
Buy & sell coordination
I specialize in coordinating both transactions so you move once — from your current home directly into your next one, without the chaos of two separate timelines.
Dublin City Schools guidance
Schools matter. I'll walk you through attendance zones for Coffman, Jerome, and Scioto so you land in the right district for your family.
"Pricing isn't guesswork. It's strategy — and the right number on day one changes everything."
— Marissa MartinFree pre-listing walkthrough
I'll tell you exactly what to fix, what to skip, and how to present your home to get the strongest offers — no guessing, no over-spending on renovations.
Professional photography & marketing
Every listing gets professional photos, strategic online placement, and targeted marketing to reach qualified Dublin move-up buyers — not just casual browsers.
Skilled negotiation
When offers come in, I negotiate on price, contingencies, closing timelines, and repairs so you keep more of what you've earned.
Seamless dual-closing coordination
Selling and buying at the same time? I coordinate both title companies, both lenders, and both timelines so your move is one smooth transition.
Selling isn't just putting a sign in the yard. It's pricing with precision, preparing with intention, and marketing to the right buyers at the right time. In the Dublin market, the difference between a good agent and a great one shows up on the closing statement.
Accurate pricing from day one
I run a detailed Comparative Market Analysis using real Central Ohio sales — not Zillow estimates — so your home is priced to attract the strongest buyers, not sit on the market.
Prepare to impress
I'll walk through your home with you and give honest, room-by-room recommendations. Most sellers save thousands by knowing what buyers actually care about versus what's a waste of money.
Maximum exposure
Professional photography, MLS placement, targeted social media, and my personal network of Dublin buyers and agents — your home gets seen by the people who matter most.
Negotiate & close with confidence
I handle every offer, counteroffer, inspection negotiation, and closing detail — so you can focus on your next chapter while I take care of this one.
Whether you're buying, selling, or trying to figure out how to do both at once —
let's start with a conversation. No pressure, just a plan.
