About Marcia

Why Should You Choose Marcia Shipley as Your Realtor? When you hire me as your real estate agent, you are trusting me with your most important asset . . . your home. I take that responsibility personally and have set high expectations for myself in terms of the service I deliver to my customers. Meeting those expectations with a level of honesty and integrity has earned me a reputation as an effective and ethical Realtor who cares. Since personal and exceptional service to my Sellers and Buyers is my priority, I limit the number of listings I carry at any given time. Buying and selling real estate should be an enjoyable experience. I strive every day to achieve that for my clients and have been honored by having past customers, friends and family employ my services and/or refer me to others. In fact, nearly two thirds of my business come from my sphere of influence or past clients. At the end of each day, I need to know I did the right thing for everyone involved.

She recognized the same potential in the property that we saw, and her strategic marketing plan generated significant interest, resulting in multiple offers and a quicker-than-expected closing. H Opdyke, Pine Twp, Gibsonia I had a wonderful experience with Marcia as my realtor. I had lived in my house for forty nine years and hated having to sell it. Marcia did so much research to show me comparable homes that were on the market so we could know how to price my home. She helped stage it and I had an offer the first weekend that it was on the market. There were hurdles to jump through but Marcia worked with me and the buyers and we got through them. I would highly recommend Marcia as a caring and knowledgeable realtor. - JoAnn C, Ross Twp, Pittsburgh
