| ·As I get closer to moving day, I'm especially thankful that God put this lady in my life. Marilyn Blankenship worked with me at Mix929, then went on to become a realtor. MANY years later, she's helped me find and buy my home. She prayed for me, searched with me and talked me through it with patience and a big smile. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Marilyn. #BestRealtor #ExceptForMySisterTerriInHouston #PrayerWorks #GodIsGood |

| “Marilyn has been so patient with us as we asked all kinds of questions about building vs. buying existing homes. Her services include all kinds of extras that other realtors we interviewed didn't. I believe her staging professional, photographer and tips on home repair prep got us a much higher asking price than anticipated. Thank you!” |

| I recommend Marilyn to anyone in the Middle TN area who is looking for a Realtor. She helped us make a wise decision as first time home buyers. We encountered several financial setbacks such as job loss in the home buying process, but Marilyn never gave up for a second.

| Marilyn is always the BEST to work with. She makes you feel like you are her only client and gives you top attention always. Through Marilyn's expertise and suggestions as well as her complimentary staging service she was able to get full asking price for my home in less than 48 hours.

| July 28th, 2013 Great follow-up and responsive to every single query from our side throughout the home sale process. Photos from a professional photographer and a free stager session really made the difference to kick-start the sale process, while being available for us anytime as well as the regular updates from Marilyn helped us feel less burdened and great peace of mind. Marilyn was able to get through the overall sale process under 2 months helping us to complete the transaction much sooner than anticipated. |

| Marilyn is truly a fantastic realtor! She walked us through each step of getting our home ready to sell and worked fervently to sell it very quickly. She always answers calls and emails in a timely manner and kept us "in the loop" of all aspects of selling our home and buying our new home. Marilyn listened to what we wanted in a home and was constantly working to find listings that met our needs (and wants) in a home. She found us a house within our budget that had everything we hoped for. We trust Marilyn completely as she is always up front and honest and is also very kind and personable to everyone. We would HIGHLY recommend Marilyn to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Marilyn helped us purchase our first home 6 years ago and we knew we wanted to use her again to buy and sell the homes that we recently bought/sold. We will always refer our friends and family to her. |

We worked with her on selling our house and the entire process went very smoothly with open communication, set expectations. We would gladly recommend her for any sale/purchase of a home.” |

| We would definitely recommend Marilyn to anyone looking to buy a house. We were new to the area and found her very informative and helpful while choosing an area to live. She listened to what we were looking for, was readily available for phone calls and home showings. She is kind and professional. Our offer, settlement and everything in between went very smoothly thanks to her. |

| I interviewed several realtors after the contract with the previous realtor expired. I had met Marilyn through another organization and selected her for my pool of candidates based on her involvement with GNAR and marketing experience. Selling through effective marketing channels is what she does and has always done. When we met again for my"interview" we clicked, which is really important in selecting a real estate agent. She took time to understand me and my goals and walked me through pricing, expectations, etc. When we got an offer on the house (I think it was only 18 days after putting it on the market) Marilyn managed the process very diplomatically and calmly.

| “If you are looking for a real estate professional that can flat out get it done, Marilyn Denney is your agent. Not only is she extremely creative and deeply knowledgeable but she provides great results. In a "buyers’ market" a neighborhood with multiple listings, she contracted our home within 29 days of listing for a higher price than a larger neighboring property. You will not be disappointed with Marilyn's services” |

She is a consummate professional and a wonderful person with high integrity. I recommend her highly to anyone searching for an executive residence in the Nashville area.” |

| “Marilyn is as knowledgeable as she is delightful. She was a wonderful guide on my journey to homeownership, and I felt at ease throughout the process with her at my side. I was especially thankful that she understood my priorities and respected my desire to learn along the way. When it's time for the next move, Marilyn will be my first phone call!” |

| "Marilyn represented us in our relocation to Tennessee from Atlanta in 2005. Marilyn introduced us to the Cool Springs real estate market and guided us through the building process through many face-to-face meetings and also phone calls/emails from a state away. Marilyn always zealously represented our interested vis-a-vis our builder and was circumspect in every detail of the construction process. She was there for us through marathon builder selection sessions with a positive attitude and words of wisdom about the process. Marilyn was a true advocate, friend and mentor through the entire process that took place over the better part of a year. We are still grateful for suggestions of where to put plugs and useful information about resale that we used to make good choices. As a result of diligent negotiations and wise decisions, we had a tremendous amount of equity in our property the day we closed! Marilyn was an invaluable voice during this process!" |

| When I first moved to Nashville, I was so fortunate to have Marilyn on my side in buying a home. She helped me navigate multiple contracts and has provided excellent advice over the years. Her expertise and tenacity are matched only by her genuine positive spirit. I would be more than happy to work with her again whether buying or selling a home. |
