About

The overarching philosophy in how Marcia Kies has achieved top-producing levels consistently with her clients is her “hands-on” approach, believing buying and selling real estate is a process and not a singular event.  To Marcia, guiding buyers and sellers personally through their transaction is naturally part of the client experience and a baseline expectation in delivering excellence at all stages.

Feeling that “how you do business is more important than how much business you do,” Marcia has nurtured a loyal client base during her 30+ years as a broker.  Out of that intense dedication has grown many lasting friendships with clients, making her career meaningful as well as a lot of fun. Being known to leave a lasting impression, Marcia’s colleagues and clients easily recognize her around town, with licenses plates that read “Laf Lot”, which is a personal philosophy.

Her passion in real estate has led her to earn numerous certifications as well as the distinction of being a member of the Diamond-Platinum Master’s Circle for production volume, Portland Metro Area Broker of the Year and the recipient of the Lake Oswego Small Business of the Year Award. Marcia’s community involvement includes the Chamber of Commerce in both Lake Oswego and West Linn. She has also volunteered with Lake Oswego schools as a tutor as well as participated in the school/business partnership program.

Originally from Portland, Marcia has lived in various places among them, Northern Minnesota, England and Peru, where she loved to surf.  She holds two degrees with honors from Portland State University. Although dedicating long hours to her successful real estate practice, Marcia also makes time to enjoys baseball, swimming, and yoga.

"Dear Marcia - I can't thank you enough for all you did toward selling my Mom's house and making it as easy as possible for me. After interviewing other realtors, I knew you were "the one". You were highly recommended by my friends, but I couldn't just take their word. As it turned out, you were easy to talk to, always available, always pleasant. You obviously knew your stuff which put me at ease. As time went on, I could tell you were an honest person and that you did things the "right way". You also saw the details in my Mom's little house, which she also loved. When I or someone needs a realtor, you are at the top of my list. I also appreciated working with Jennifer. Please see that your "boss" gets a copy of this letter. Thank you."

"First, initially unbeknownst to me, Marcia has been showing properties to my wife for nine years before I even knew we were in the market, so, for an agent of Marcia's stature to demonstrate this sort of patience is exemplary and singular. Once I was informed of 'our' pursuit, I was immediately disappointed to learn that we were represented by Marcia, because I assumed, with all her listings, she would not show us as much effort as perhaps someone younger and more 'hungry.' Well, lets get to the point - at every single turn, twist and wiggle of selling our home in Lake Oswego, and the subsequent purchase in Tualatin, Marcia was understanding, insightful, patient, protective of our interests, dutiful and promp in delivering answers to all questions and concerns, and in fact, demonstrated in every conceivable way a demeanor that is consistent with huge production - she always did more than she needed to on our behalves. Often times huge production carries with it ungodly ethical baggage, but in this case, she is testimony to success without sacrificing principled behavior."

— Bob Mitchell

"After 5+ years, we finally found a home that met the majority of our requirements. Marcia stuck with us, when I am confident most realtors would have given up. She exhibits the qualities that we expect from a true profession. She is knowledgeable, caring, respectful, and a person of her word. She never compromised herself or us just to get 'the sale.' We would always get a straight answer from Marcia, even it if wasn't necessarily in her own best interest. Dealing with someone of character, passion, and of course her sense of humor made Marcia a pleasure to work with. This was also true of Susie. They made a very long and sometimes trying process as positive as possible."

"We met Marcia when we first moved to Portland. At that time, we were still exploring the area and unsure of where we wanted to settle down. Over the next year, she patiently worked with us as we changed our minds from house to condo to house again. It seemed as though Marcia worked around the clock, always responding to us in record time. She was knowledgeable and on top of her game. She is well networked, professional, and not afraid to speak up for her clients. She even won over the heart of my son. They met when he was just a little over one and he still asks about her.

We were so grateful to have had the chance to work with Marcia and would not have found our home without her. We have highly recommended her to our friends and colleagues and will continue to do so."

"When I decided to buy my first home, I knew exactly who I would use, Marcia Kies. A long time friend of the family, and former associate of my grandmother's, Marcia has always been a respectable realtor. Upon our first conversation I knew that Marcia and her team (which included Chris Blyth - see his review) was committed to finding me a house. No matter what the question - about any given house, neighborhood, buying process, etc. - Marcia would have an answer almost instantly. She did well to illicit responses from non-responsive realtors and seemingly never slept until we found the perfect fit. Throughout the entire process I felt confident that even though I was working long days at my job, Marcia was searching the market for the next open house. Not only did we meet our buying timeline (expedited by my son's birth), but we also ended up with an excellent value. If you are looking for a realtor that will put as much effort into finding a home as you will and one that has an in depth knowledge of the industry, I highly recommend Marcia Kies."

"I could not recommend Marcia more highly. She was always accessible, including on evenings and weekends. She worked incredibly hard for us, listened to our needs and preferences, and adapted our home search accordingly.

Once we found the right home, she negotiated a very reasonable price and got the seller to agree to a number of significant repairs and concessions. She also put us in touch with several professionals (roofing, siding) from whom we got great bids and solid work.

Through it all Marcia was a pleasure to work with. My wife and I feel very fortunate to have found her and would certainly use her again in the future."

"Marcia's level headedness will guide you every step of the way whether buying or selling your home. Her communication is the best there is - keeps you up to date at every turn. One of her competitors described her as a bull dog - and that's exactly what you want on your team when buying or selling a house. We have worked with a lot of different Realtors throughout the years. Marcia understands the business like no other, and her realistic approach is refreshing in the industry."
