Law Office of Marilyn Sullivan - San Luis Obispo, California

There were defects with the property and I had been in a lawsuit with the developer, so everything needed to be disclosed. Fortunately, my neighbor, who was a co-defendant in the lawsuit (his home had the same issues), offered to buy my house. Since I was not fixing anything in the house and offered to sell under market price, we chose not to use a realtor and do a for sale by owner. Had no clue where to start. The buyer had opened an escrow and so they were waiting on the paperwork. Marilyn helped me and explained everything to me. I was able to get the purchase agreement done and signed and submitted; I was able to get all of the disclosures and all the other paperwork done and signed. I had no idea that doing a for sale by owner, still required so much paperwork. I am forever grateful!.

FSBO transaction facilitated by Marilyn for both sides, seller and buyer. It was a very smooth and streamlined process that was completed fast and efficient. Marilyn is very responsive and provides clear guidance, which makes it super simple. Can only recommend for those fortunate enough to be able to go the FSBO route.

When I decided to do a FSBO, I choose MARILYN SULLIVAN because she specializes in FSBOs. She was very clear on what was expected from both me and the buyer. She was completely transparent and required inclusion of both buyer and seller communication throughout the entire process. Everything happened without a hitch. I would recommend her to anyone choosing to do a FSBO.

What could have been a nightmare house sale was in reality a no-pain transaction because of Marilyn's knowledge, firmness and kindness. She knows her real estate law, and if she's unfamiliar with an issue, which happened in the case of my unusual reverse mortgage, she'll do research until she's well-versed in the subject. She's a staunch advociate for her clients without being rude or antagonizing people or companies that could be a roadblock to a final sale. An added bonus is that she responds quickly to email questions, so that there is confidence in the process and progress throughout the entire transaction. Highly recommended.

My family needed to move across the county pretty quickly to help with some health issues with family members, so we had to sell our house. We wouldn't have been able to move if we had to pay 5% to 6% of the transaction to real estate agents. We used Marilyn Sullivan to facilitate the transaction and I am very happy to say it was a great decision. Her communication was fast and we had exactly zero issues at any point. The experience was so good that I doubt I would ever use a real estate agent to help sell a home. Thank you Marilyn!

Marilyn is amazing! Our family is extremely grateful our paths crossed. Her experience and fearless approach dealing with a lending system where nobody seems to be on the same page allowed us to keep four homes including our family's residence. A long shot loan modification resulted in a miraculous outcome because Marilyn knew what she was doing while the bank seemingly did not. Not only were we able to keep our property, Marilyn's hard work resulted in almost 400k in debt forgiveness. Our sincerest thanks.

Marilyn was very quick to respond to our needs dealing with a tenant landlord dispute. Her legal advice was key to solving the issues we had. All our dealings with her from beginning to end were highly professional, and I will be using her services in the future.

I feel like Marilyn is a sister to me. Marilyn nursed me through 2 successful loan modifications which changed my life in a big way, for the better. Having successful loan modifications means keeping 2 duplexes in the San Francisco bay area, which are now my retirement. I found Marilyn in the beginning of 2010 during the height of the financial crisis. It was chaos and no one knew what was going on. The banks changed the rules everyday. But I had Marilyn. Marilyn was on top of it and 3 steps ahead when she could be. We went through this together. I am forever grateful for her savvy resourcefulness, knowledge, compassion and perseverance. She got me through it in more ways than one. She IS the best!
