About Marian
Since becoming a Realtor, Marian has earned the respect of her peers for her integrity, professionalism and high production.
A leader in Real Estate for over two decades
Marian, a published author and a former radio talk-show host in Dallas featuring news from the real estate market, stressed and still stresses the importance of knowing the difference between The Good Guys vs. The Bad Guys in the building industry. Her book, “On The Level…New Home Construction Nailed Down”, will answer many questions a new home buyer should be asking their builder. The value of understanding what a buyer has the right to expect, as a minimum acceptable quality, is immeasurable. She stresses the importance of knowing the “what and why” of the home’s construction from behind the walls and under flooring to proper procedures for other stages such as site prep, engineering for water injection, plumbing, insulation, post tension slab foundation (how to make sure it’s done correctly and carefully monitored), framing (a critical part of the home), as well as noting all the finish details that complete a quality home. For over a decade, Marian has been conducting construction seminars designed to present a comprehensive review of the many facets of new home construction from lot prep (incl. engineering and water injection) through the final punch out of the finished home. It is not intended to be a summary of the project but a chronological check list of what is needed to build a home that meets or exceeds the project’s realistic quality expectations. Marian has received the New Home Construction Specialist (NHCS) designation from TREC (The Texas Real Estate Commission). Marian has been approved as an instructor from the commission for the NHCS designation, and is happy to share her expertise with other Real Estate Agents as well as Consumers.
