Marcella was recommended to me by my mother, who worked with Marcella to sell my childhood home. Marcella was a pleasure to work with and very accommodating to a first time home buyer's needs. It was a breeze to schedule visit appointments through her and she even drove us in her personal car to multiple showings. She is full of good advice and helpful tips for this roller coaster experience.

We just closed on our new home today, and are in the process of listing our current home. Marcella has assisted us with both our purchase and sale. She is very knowledgeable, prompt and professional. She always returns phone calls, emails and text messages in a timely manner. Marcella has kept us well informed and thoroughly answered all questions. Marcella's connections to related service providers (inspectors, painters, engineers, plumbers, septic, etc.) and her sage advice were valuable beyond measure. She went above and beyond to make sure we were well informed, advised and that our plans for both the purchase and sale remained on track. Marcella is a capable real estate professional, and a genuinely kind person too!

Marcella was amazing. She listened carefully to what we wanted, offered positive and helpful suggestions, noticed and advised us on construction issues that we didn't see or did not understand, always kept us updated and informed, worked for our best interests, and always wore a smile and had positive attitude. She is also a wealth of information for resources once our house was purchased - good plumbers, handymen, electricians, etc.

Having worked with realtors in several states over the years, I have found Marcella Simmons to be the most professional and knowledgeable realtor I have ever encountered. Her attention to details is second to none. Marcella is a fantastic realtor and a great person. I could not recommend more highly!!

I cannot recommend Marcella enough. She took us out looking for houses and if she saw something just a little bit off she would kindly suggest we pass on the property. With tons of experience under her belt she could spot a crack on a ceiling that either indicated a quick fix or a house that was splitting in half (yes, we saw a house that was slowly splitting in half and Marcella was able to determine that's what was happening and why and to stay away from the headache it would eventually become).

But what really, really impressed me about Marcella and made me a client, and a super fan, for life is that we ran into a really difficult situation with the seller of our home and not only did Marcella advocate for us with all her might for the month it took after closing for the seller to do right by us, but she was very supportive and stayed on top of any information she knew she could provide to give me a little piece of mind. It was a very stressful situation and I don't know how I would have handled it if it weren't for Marcella's support. And she delivered for us.

Five thousand thumbs up for Marcella. I thank you deeply from the bottom of my heart, Marcella.

Marcella was absolutely amazing to work with. I had to really rely on her since I was out of the state while my house was being built. She honestly cared more about making sure I got everything I wanted than I was! Anyone would be lucky to have her as their agent. Highly highly recommend!

This was our first home buying experience and it was a positive one.
Marcella was extremely helpful, attentive, and patient with us. We never felt rushed or pushed throughout the process. We ended up buying something much sooner than we expected as we expected to be very picky clients! Marcella really helped show us a range of homes and neighborhoods

Marcella did a great job finding us a house. She was always available when we had time to look at a house. She was always on top of everything that was needed. She is truly a fantastic person to work with. If you're looking for a home, contact Marcella!

Marcella was patient, knowledgeable, resourceful, and professional. I contribute the 21 showings and 11 offers for the house I was selling to her knowledge of the industry. Oh, did I mention these showings and offers occurred over a 3-day period. She tirelessly traveled from one development to another during my search for a new home, never complaining. With divine intervention, Marcella assisted me with selling and buying within a 8-week period (give a few days). She was my angel sent from heaven!

Marcella provided great service to my wife and I in the purchase of our home. She followed up on the details, was patient with all of my questions, worked as if it was her own home, connected us with key people in the closing process, met us at our new home multiple times before closing to help with preparations, and helped us celebrate as we got into our new home with notes and gifts. We would highly recommend her services!

Marcella was very attentive and detail oriented. She was very patient with our questions and helping us through the process of buying our first home. Even after the closing, she followed up to make sure we had everything we needed and continues to go out of her way. I had a great overall experience working with her.

Marcella is a new friend. She worked all hours for us over several months, going with the flow as we changed our strategy along the way. So happy to have found a professional who has our best interest in mind and was not trying to make a quick buck! We highly recommend Marcella and hope to work with her again in the future.

Marcella was a stellar agent. Incredibly fast to respond to any communications and always prompt to viewings. During the process she provided valuable guidance and ensured the buying process was smooth. I cannot recommend her enough and will be sending anyone her way for buying/selling properties. We truly appreciated all that you did for us!

Loved working with Marcella, she was always on the ball when it came to houses coming on the market and getting us in to see them as soon as possible. She was also very quick with providing any information we requested on the homes we were seeing. She listened to what we wanted, and found us the perfect home. This was my first home buying experience and I was very impressed with how easy Marcella made the entire process. I cannot recommend her enough!

As first time home buyers we had no idea what we were doing, and she guided us through every detail flawlessly. We had daily communication, saw every house that came on the market, and found the perfect home! Marcella made our experience buying a home stress free. She took care of every detail and went above and beyond what we expected from her. Marcella and team are truly the best!

We cannot say enough GREAT things about Marcella and her expertise and guidance as we sold the home we lived in for 22 years. Her advice on getting our home ready for sale and working with us on small changes to update the interior was spot on! We encountered several small challenges along the way with our property (unbeknownst to us) which Marcella was always 2 steps ahead of us on in terms of understanding the situation, bringing in solid advice/experts to help us resolve all while reassuring us as buyers. All of her hard work resulted in a quick sale with us as very very happy clients who we we use again in a heartbeat. She was available to us at all times, never waivered in the end goal and was so reassuring throughout the entire process. Marcella is one very focused realtor (and a totally wonderful person) who we cannot recommend enough.

Professional, Responsive, Open-mined, Communicated well, and maintained a positive relationship throughout the process. Due to my limited time to assist with much of this, it was awesome to have someone that could step in and ensure things continued in a productive order to it.

Marcella and NextHome was definitely the right choice for our home buying and selling needs! NextHome's top quality photos of our home, marketing techniques and Marcella expertise enabled us to sell our home in less than one week! Marcella was friendly, professional, and listened to our needs and concerns. Every step of the way she was available with the answers to our questions, and even questions that we didn’t think of. She worked diligently behind the scenes to make sure all of our deadlines were met and in the end we benefited from her attention to details and desire to find the right home for us! Thank you so much Marcella! I can't say enough about how great she was from start to finish! I couldn't imagine going through the process without her!

My wife and I have purchased or built four homes; this was our fifth, BUT our first out of market. Marcella eliminated any concerns we had with a long-distance purchase with her outstanding market knowledge, thorough follow up and attention to detail. Given the popularity of the Bedford community, we had to move quickly from initial viewing to bid and revised offer...we could not have pulled it off without Marcella's professionalism and real estate expertise.

Marcella and her team were fantastic resources as we sold our home of 10 years and purchased a new home for our family. They shepherded us through each process and answered any questions we had with care and patience. They assisted in expertly staging our house and appropriately pricing it for the current market.

Moving with two young children is challenging, but we never felt rushed or pressured, and the team made necessary allowances to accommodate our kids' schedules.

Compared to other experiences we have had buying and selling homes, we were simply blown away. I would recommend Marcella and NextHome without hesitation. We felt well represented on both transactions and it was a real relief to feel we had such strong talent in our corner.
