The Comiskey Group

We recently sold our home in the Talmadge neighborhood of San Diego using Marilyn Comiskey, founder of the Comiskey Group, as our representative. Her expertise, market knowledge and professionalism were, without question, invaluable to us. She oversaw every aspect of the preparation process to include sourcing and vetting professional stagers and securing a heavily discounted wholesale pricing for painting and repairs. She personally selected exterior and interior paint choices and fixtures that were low in price but that brought a fresh, new, and modern aesthetic to our home. Given her expansive market knowledge, she generated 7 offers within 24 hours, including multiple offers over-asking, and ultimately closing $91,000 above list price. She negotiated zero buyer credits, despite the buyer’s initially requesting a hefty repair credit. She was a dedicated advocate throughout, ensuring that our goals were a priority and that the process remained smooth from start to finish.

Marilyn is an amazing realtor and would gladly ask for her services again for any future home. She over performed during all aspects of the home buying process. No matter what home we visited, Marilyn was able to deduce and eloquently explain how the home could fit our needs. She is great at spacial awareness and seeing how certain fixes can enhance and elevate parts of the home that we could not see. Even when the home was very subpar, she was still able to see how it could fit our needs if we were willing to compromise. It was great to be given options and see potential in homes that we dismissed easily. When we did put an offer on a home we loved, Marilyn was great at representing us during the whole transaction. She kept us updated on number of buyers, offer values, seller agents tendencies as well as money oriented subjects like market conditions, loan estimates/types and bank referrals/rates.

We recently purchased an amazing unit at The Park luxury condo in the Banker’s Hill neighborhood of San Diego and the entire experience exceeded our expectations largely thanks to our incredible realtor, Marilyn Comiskey, Founder of the Comiskey Group. From start to finish, Marilyn demonstrated a deep knowledge of the local market and handled every step with professionalism and confidence. What truly stood out was her ability to negotiate a deal and meet a tight and somewhat unreasonable closing schedule without compromising on attention to detail. Her negotiation skills were sharp and ethical, resulting in securing us a great deal on a property we truly love.

We had a wonderful experience with Marilyn and I highly recommend her if you are buying or selling a home. She went WAY over and above the call of duty and was available to us after hours, worked tirelessly, and always seemed to keep things light and positive. I have used her services twice, and would not hesitate to do so again. Special shout out to her assistant Megan who never let any detail fall between the cracks.

Marilyn is outstanding in so many ways! She recently represented us in the sale of our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience and the end results. Marilyn is a true neighborhood expert and knew exactly how to appropriately market our property. She was articulate and honest in her evaluation of the property and her suggestions and guidance prior to going on the market were spot on – allowing us to get maximum value for our property and an above asking offer. Marilyn is extremely reliable and organized – staying on point throughout the process, and always responding almost immediately to any calls, texts, or emails. Marilyn’s ability to work with the buyer and the buyer’s agent to explain our property and the features and value proposition was flawless. She also helped to form an ideal offer and quick escrow – all around, one we couldn’t pass up. She is extremely professional and genuine, and just a smart person all around.
