Local Business Spotlight: Marni Saves the Day

Hello Everyone! I must introduce a friend of mine, Marni, owner of Marni Saves the Day. I was lucky enough to meet this wonderful lady a few months ago when out-of-state clients decided to sell their Seattle house. These clients were not only living in Portland, but was also taking care of an ailing parent. Preparing your home to sell is a lot of work, and lucky for them, Marni was there to help. 

She was so fantastic to work with, I decided to hire Marni to help me get my home and office in order. Between my business doubling and having a brand new baby, my house was in a state of chaos. Marni has helped me clear out boxes of “stuff” that I don’t need, move offices, prepare for a basement remodel and throw a HUGE holiday event (You may have met “Jingles the Elf” at the Holiday Social). She has boundless energy and an ability to keep me focused when I am frazzled and overwhelmed.

I think my favorite part about working with Marni, is that she makes sure that the things that I don’t need either goes to someone who does need them or is disposed of correctly. For example, I had too much food for the Holiday Social. She suggested that we hand it out to the homeless. Her passion is contagious.

After selling their house in July 2016, my buyers and I looked for the perfect house for their family for 5 months. The seller stumbled upon this home, which was accidentally listed as a 1 bedroom. I told them that we had to get in that home immediately before someone else discovered the mistake. We were able to make a lower offer, which was accepted AND THEN have an inspection. The condition was as we hoped, only cosmetic repairs, and we proceeded to close. However, there were several variables that made the closing difficult. Not only had the listing agents been in a serious accident, but the seller was in hospice care and her nephew was stepping in as power of attorney. The nephew had run out of time to take part in the sale, care of his aunt, and his family, so obviously, the sale took a back burner. It took a lot of "nudging" to get items agreed upon in the contract completed and paperwork signed around, but the Snyders are now settled in their home!
