About Us

Hello and welcome! I’m Marilisa. I moved to the United States in 2010 where I gave birth to my littles, James (11) and Siena (9) and I’ve been a Kirkland resident ever since. I have two very aloof cats, Finlay and Poppy and a buoyant Golden Retriever pup, called Bailey. Don’t be reeled in by my British accent. I’m actually a born and bred Italian, hailing from Lake Como, but I graduated from University in England after which I met my husband, Matt, while we both were working in TV. I have had a long love affair with homes, so I suppose it was only natural that I would end up forging an entrepreneurial career in real estate eventually. I absolutely love it! Here are some facts you may not know about me: I used to read the sports news on local radio in Oxford; I was an aspiring ballet dancer and amateur actress; I have an elephant’s memory (except when it comes to movies & history dates, which I forget instantly); and predictably I have a penchant for good pizza and a hearty plate of pasta. I am also a published writer in the Huffington Post and my previous longtime career was in IT, with Microsoft. When I’m not selling real estate or busy being a mama, you will find the fashionista in me at Nordstrom, at home renovating our Kirkland farmhouse, or practicing yoga at Bala. The only activity that truly relaxes me, is gardening. That is where I find my true Zen. My ambition in this business? To be of service. My role as a Realtor is to educate and help my clients in all the ways available to me in order to see them realize their very unique and personal ambitions. It’s what this job is all about and it is also what drives me to be the very best in this business. I hope to meet you in person soon! *** Seattle Metro Area specialist, qualified and accredited in Master Negotiation, Staging and Building Green. Member of the National Association of Realtors and Top 10% Marketplace Sotheby's Realtor in 2018.
