Description
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. In 2024 alone, she closed the two highest-priced residential sales ever recorded in the state: a $14 million estate in October 2024, followed by a landmark $15.85 million sale in November 2024. 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.

From being named her company's Rising Star in her first six months to consistently setting new state records, she has established a legacy of best-in-class performance, trust and results at every price point. 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. She has overseen site selection, architectural review, design and construction in top-tier communities, including Biltmore Lake, The Ramble and Biltmore Forest.
Outside of real estate, Marilyn enjoys hiking, biking, traveling, gardening and spending time in national parks. She proudly served on the board of Friends of the Smokies, supporting the preservation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and is a current Tiffany Circle member with the American Red Cross.
