    Zillow 5 Star Review  Marianne did a fabulous job as our realtor. It was stressful to be relocating to an unfamiliar, new area from out of town, and Marianne was extremely helpful. She had so much experience and knowledge of the neighborhoods, schools, and services for our special needs child, and she was able to advise...

    Zillow 5 Star Review  Marianne was fantastic, we found her online as she seemed to pop up for every search imaginable for someone looking to relocate to Chapel Hill which spoke to her depth of knowledge on the area.

    Zillow 5 Star Review  My husband and I enjoyed watching Marianne’s YouTube videos and wanted to work with her on what we figured would be a simple in-town move. Well, the process turned out to be not quite so simple and, lucky for us, neither is the skill set Marianne brought to the table: her expertise in marketing our...

    Zillow 5 Star Review  Marianne and Chip were amazing. We were coming from out of state and met or spoke with various realtors to decide who was best to represent us by truly understanding our needs.

    Zillow 5 Star Review  Marianne is amazing! We were in the unfortunate position of trying to sell a rental house from across the country after a disastrous experience with a renter. Marianne served as agent and contractor coordinator for us, making sure our house was prepped and ready to go on market as fast as possible....

    Zillow 5 Star Review  Marianne was very professional and pleasant. The whole process was very smooth. I bought my house without seeing it and she took a great amount of videos to show us different angles. By the time we saw the house it was exactly what we expected.

    Zillow 5 Star Review  We recently relocated from Florida to North Carolina and benefitted greatly from Marianne's expertise. We put our home under contract before we even had a chance to see it in person. We were able to do this because Marianne had such wonderful pictures of the home taken, quickly sent us floor plans...

    Zillow 5 Star Review  Facing a short notice move from VA to NC, we contacted Marianne after watching her videos on her website.

    Zillow 5 Star Review  We bought our home here in 2011. Working with Marianne was a wonderful experience. We were moving in from Florida and did not know the area at all. She was so knowledgeable about the Triangle that we felt very comfortable with her guidance and direction throughout all steps of the process. I know...

    Zillow 5 Star Review  Through the entire purchase process, Marianne was far more than an agent; she was both a guide and a friend. She was exceptional at all the fundamentals, helping us locate the right house, negotiate the right price and assure ourselves that every feature was inspected and stood up to the highest...

    Zillow 5 Star Review  When we decided to move back to the Triangle, we knew we'd be calling Marianne. We've done three total transactions with her over the past 3 years.

    Zillow 5 Star Review  We “found” Marianne Howell Wright online. Her articles and YouTube videos were well done and demonstrated her many years of experience and expertise of the Triangle area. Although we lived in Chapel Hill for 20 years prior, we were retiring to Apex, NC and building a new home for the 1st time. ...

    Zillow 5 Star Review  My Wife and I were looking to move to North Carolina from New York. We had no idea who to contact, so we searched the internet, and came across Marianne's website.

How I get paid as a buyers agent

If you've bought and sold homes in the past you may already understand how buyers agents get paid but I thought I would go ahead and explain. I always hate wondering about things like this so I thought it would be helpful.
-The seller has a listing contract with a real estate brokerage company to pay a fee for selling the house. It's negotiable but typically 5-6% in the Triangle.
-The Multiple Listing Service was invented for brokers to share their home listings with other brokers in the network and guarantee the agents from different companies would get paid for selling the home.
-The MLS is a promise (contract) by the listing real estate company to pay the selling company(who brings the buyer) a specified fee. In the Triangle this is typically 2.4%-3%. The listing company keeps the rest.
-My commission is already included in the price of the home so you don't save money if you are not represented by a buyers agent.
-Builders will also pay my fee if you let them know you are represented and include me in the first or early visit.
