About Marianne

I am a Full Time Realtor that specializes in residential real estate in the Southeastern suburbs of Cincinnati where I have resided since 1991. I pride myself in educating Buyers and Sellers on the important aspects of real estate for selling, buying and resale values. I am not part of a real estate team - which I feel is a benefit to you. From day 1 through closing you have me - focused and years of experience working for you - versus delegated to other team members along the way. You are hiring a Realtor to work for you - versus a group seeking a high volume of business which may not allow time to focus on you and your biggest investment.

I feel it is important to be a area specialist to provide in-depth knowledge of neighborhoods and market conditions that benefits your clients. I specialize in the southeast areas of Cincinnati including Anderson Township and Newtown in the Forest Hills School District where I have been one of the top selling Realtors for over 15 years.

I have experience in surrounding areas including Downtown Cincinnati, Mt. Adams, Anderson Township, Newtown, Mt. Washington, Mariemont, Terrace Park, Indian Hill, Mt. Lookout, Hyde Park, Oakley, Columbia Tusculum, Mt. Adams, Loveland, Milford and Pierce Union Township in Clermont County.

I work in all price points assisting Buyers and Seller with their Real Estate needs - my experience, area knowledge, marketing, communication and sharp negotiating skills have set me apart from others. I have references from all price points indicating my strengths in constant communication, staging, market pricing, negotiations and dedicated contractor resources to assist in getting your home market ready and home inspection repairs.

I have qualified for the Circle of Excellence Award from the Cincinnati Board of Realtors consistently 2008-2023 and ranked in the top 1% of Realtors in the Cincinnati area.

I know this area and what it takes to market and sell homes. Please contact me for a complimentary buyer or seller consultation 513-484-3753

Lindsay Keogh - buyer Ft. Thomas, KY

Simply amazing! Great flexibility in schedule and honest. She will make sure you purchase something you will love and is not afraid to ask tough questions of the seller.

 

Christopher Walker – buyer Mariemont

I could not have been happier with my experience with Ms. Powers. She put in a tremendous amount of effort for me and was always made herself available. As a first time home buyer she helped me through all of my questions. She is a skilled negotiator and got the best deal with her. I plan on working with her for any future home purchases

 

Bradley Garner – seller Newtown

From beginning to end, Marianne Powers did a fantastic job of helping us sell our house. She was a huge help on every aspect of preparing our home to sell. From ideas on paint colors, staging the home and all of the little things that you might not think of, she was the best. So good, that we sold the house before we ever listed it. We all know that it’s not easy to prepare your house that you have had in your life for 27 years. However, with Marianne Powers’ guidance, we made it through “unscathed”. I highly recommend Marianne. She will do her job and make the sale and move as easy as possible for you. She is the “real deal”

Marianne is the ultimate professional and took care of all of our real estate needs. Due to the fact that we are now living out of town, Marianne took it upon herself to schedule all events and make sure the home was "show ready". We could not have had a better real estate experience with Marianne. Thanks for everything!
