Testimonials

Rebecca Born

Being a first time homeowner while buying a house 2,000 miles away is a daunting process, but Marc made it a painless process. Marc was incredibly knowledgeable, communicative, and transparent about all aspects of homebuying including dealing with a million entities, timelines, considerations, etc. He was able to help us do things that would have been impossible since we weren't local. We had a tight timeline and he worked diligently to make it happen. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone in the Olympic, Kitsap, or general Puget Sound area.

Bryan McDonough

I've worked with Marc for both buying and selling a home. Both times he worked hard to take care of me and represent my interests. He always gave great advice and was able to get me in touch with the right people to make the process as smooth as possible. Definitely recommend Marc as your realtor!

E Ellis

We can't say enough about Marc and his honesty, availability and follow through during the purchase of our home. We thought about purchasing a home and backed off for two years before ramping back up. Marc kept in touch and never pressured us once. When we were ready to purchase a home again, he came right into where we left off.

The ability to not pressure but be present was appreciated and should be the standard for all Real Estate Brokers.

Marc was available to us via texts, calls and emails for general questions and responded quickly. As first time home buyers he was able to tell us what to expect and how to explain certain things so we could easily understand what we were getting into. We were so confident buying our home because he came to all our appointments and inspections just to make sure things went smoothly and all parties we informed and on the same page.

We would highly recommend Marc for any buying or selling of homes and will ONLY use him for all things real estate in the future. Thank you Marc for everything that went into the purchase of our first home.

Scott Gilbert

Marc Kemp is a true professional. He consistently treats people with respect and courtesy. Marc was certainly worth his commission and more. I would be happy to go back to him again.

Melissa Jones

Marc has definitely been in the business and knows his stuff, and always willing to share his knowledge and house recommendations!

Daniel Salgado

It was a great experience having Marc on our side during the home buying process. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and honest. We also appreciated his flexibility and patience. Marc looked out for us and had our best interest in mind. Would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!

Sean Lonsdale

I used Marc both when buying a home for the first time and then 6 years later when we were moving to another state and chose to sell that same home.

When Buying:
We gave Marc a price range and specifics on what we were looking for and then started getting regular updates on homes coming onto the market. After we made a list of houses to see and gave Marc the dates we would be able to see them he pretty much did everything from there. He had researched all of the homes and made a schedule for us to see all of them without feeling overloaded.

When Selling:
Marc came over for an initial walkthrough to give us some tips of setting up the home in a way that would make it look better them came back later when we were ready and Marc took the photos. The photos he took made the house look better than it did in real life and he made the 3-D walkthrough with floorplan. It was incredible.
Marc took the photos on Wednesday, we had offers by Sunday, and were in contract on Monday.
5 days from photos to contract, closed a month later.
I would hire Marc again anytime.

Ken Yocum

Marc was referred to me for the sale of our property. I found him to be honest, very hard working and the best thing was the constant communication about the process and while working through that process. He is an outstanding agent and you would do well if you needed a real estate agent to hire Marc Kemp. Your will money will be spent wisely.

Dwayne Watson

Marc, provided outstanding service and made buying my first home stress free!! Thoroughly explained the entire process and guided me to homeownership! I would 100% recommend his services!!!

Matthew Nugent

Marc was top notch as a realtor for us. This was our first house and we were VERY green in the process. Marc met with us and explained EVERYTHING in detail and even gave us a 'cheat sheet' outlining some of the 'hidden' costs of homebuying, like the earnest money deposit and the appraisal fees and such.

Marc was prompt in getting us information on houses we were interested in and had no problem talking to the sellers agent about questions we had on the house.

For the house we ended up buying, Marc was a very valuable part. He helped coordinate the title company and the bank together to make sure we closed on time without a hitch.

If you are looking for a realtor that has your best interest at heart and won't brow beat you into the first place you look at, Marc is the realtor for you!!!. We'd easily use him again in the future!

Jacob Hazard

Marc has helped us with buying and selling our home. We would happily recommend him at any opportunity. He is a true professional. He stayed on top of deadlines, gave us great advice, and quickly responded to all of our questions throughout the process.

Chad F.

"Absolutely the best realtor I have ever had the pleasure of working with! Marc is totally committed to assisting his client in every dealing. He worked through numerous challenges in scheduling and navigating the market to sell our house for top dollar. Marc maintained constant communication with both, my wife and I, through a remodel with Curbio, even after we had moved halfway across the country. I highly recommend Marc Kemp to anyone looking to buy or sell in the real estate market!"

Andrea B.

We hired Marc three years ago when my husband and I purchased our new home. He did such a wonderful job making sure we found the home that we wanted. He made our first buying experience stress free. Once we found out we were moving again we immediately contacted Marc to help us sell our home. He was very helpful and honest during the whole process. He kept me up to date with the status of the market and continued to give us updates through the selling process. He also was able to work with the people who ended up buying the house to make sure that everyone got what they needed in the sale. We highly recommend Marc and if we end up back in the area we will not go to anyone else. He is the best. Thank you Marc for everything!

Wayne Raabe

Simply put, Marc Kemp is the only real estate agent you should consider if you are buying a home. Shortly after the first of this year, we decided to retire while overseas, move to the PNW, and buy a house, all in six months. No problem, right? Not when you have Marc on your side. Buying a home is a stressful life event, whether you are experienced or a relative beginner. Through his professionalism and experience, Marc makes the process of purchasing a home easy no matter whether it is your first or sixth time. In early February, we told Marc what we were looking for and our proposed budget. He immediately started sending us potential listings, and we realized we needed to adjust our expectations, including the fact that it was unrealistic to expect that we were going to be able to purchase a home from 4500 miles away. We pivoted away from a long distance search and waited until we arrived in the PNW - when we did, Marc was ready with a list of homes that accurately met our desired criteria and budget. When we identified the home we wanted, Marc expertly guided us through the offer/acceptance/inspection/counter-offer process. We look forward to moving into our new home, made possible by Marc’s professional and knowledgeable guidance.

Jamie Stauffer

Because this was our first house we really had no knowledge about house buying going into this. Marc was so great about providing knowledge so that we felt confident during our house buying experience.

Cheryl Strickland-Lewis

Marc is acutely aware of the market and made it easy to work with him. The photos and listing were amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor.

Joseph Seay

Marc helped us when we bought our house. Then eight years later helped us sell our home. His expertise in the housing market made our lives easy. I could never say enough great things about our experience. If we could us him here in our new state we would. Thank you Marc.

Hannah Casillas

My husband and I have worked with Marc twice and we could not have had a better realtor for first time home buyers. We were dislocated from our desired area and Marc looked far and wide at homes for us. We made multiple offers and couldn’t compete financially for a lot of places nearby with our specifications but Marc guided us on how to be more competitive and worked with other realtors to get us into our home! It’s even better than we could have imagined and with Marc’s help and thorough, honest, and detailed descriptions of the homes we were looking at we knew that he was helping us find our best home for our family. I would recommend Marc to anyone looking in our area and others feel the same way because Marc was recommended to us too.

Sarah Brennan

Marc helped us purchase our WA home back in 2018, guiding us through the home selection process and using his vast experience to make sure we were competitive enough in our offer to succeed against multiple bids. He has since helped us sell the home, achieving and exceeding our selling goals and making sure we were confident and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. I would recommend him to everyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Kitsap area.

Nikki Miller

Marc is amazing, knowledgeable, and honest! He helped scouring, watching, and wading through listings for months with Craig and I until we decided on a new construction home. Marc explained the pros and cons and it was our deciding factor to go with that forever home. It was such an amazing process to go through and he really was with us every step along the way. I'm so thankful of his help and support during the process of buying our home.

Keevin Lane

Seriously, Marc is the best. We used him to both buy and sell our homes. To give him a 10/10 would be an understatement. He is so fast to respond, tactful and honest in the market, and treats you like family. If you are in need of a realtor, please give Marc a try.

Richard Ellison

It’s a Seller’s Market! Marc Kemp recently sold our home for an all-cash transaction. We went pending in three days and closed two weeks later. End of Story? Not exactly… It’s a seller’s market so one would assume that when you list your home potential buyers will come, you will receive multiple offers, and accept the best offer, deal done. Our story played out that way because we hired a professional to position our home purposely to attract the right buyers with the right resources and motivation to be the winning buyer. Prior to listing our home, Marc spent several hours talking to us about a specific strategy for selling our home, not any home, our home. He spent time with us understanding our desires and reasoning for selling and was brutally honest with us regarding what we must do prior to listing and more importantly what we must avoid during the listing and selling process. The important thing to note here is that we listened to Marc and deployed his strategy. There are hundreds of agents in the market willing to discount their value simply to earn the right to place your home on the MLS and hope for the best. Marc Kemp is all about creating real value for his clients. His deep understanding of how to market your home for maximum value paid far more dividends than any low-cost agent could possibly have saved us. We hired Marc Kemp to maximize value and avoid costly mistakes, we recommend that you do the same. Thankfully, Rick & Judi Ellison Gig Harbor, WA

David Shong

Marc Kemp has helped us with three real estate transactions. We would not trust anyone else.

Lindsey Dornbusch

As first time home buyers, Marc was absolutely fantastic, knowledgable and patient as we learned the ins and outs of home buying. My husband and I were beyond motivated to find a home and Marc was there every step of the way. He responded to calls, texts and emails within minutes. We had such a wonderful experience and we could not recommend Marc enough!

Beverly Jewett

Marc Kemp has a way of making you feel like family. I recommend him ALWAYS. I’ve used him for both buying and selling and I just can’t say enough good things about this man. Professional, helpful, efficient, knowledgeable, kind… Working with him was a dream. Buying and selling homes can be so stressful and he made it great.

M D

We have worked with Marc for 3 home transactions and have been extremely pleased each time. He does an excellent job of keeping up with the details and communicating with you throughout the process. He was very patient and thoughtful during the stressful times. We appreciate his advice and help and wouldn’t hesitate to use Marc in the future. Thank you!

Kirill Bargerstock

So far Marc assisted us with a purchase and a sale of an investment property in Pt Orchard. My wife and I are located overseas in a completely different timezone, we were not able to physically attend a purchase or a sale events. Marc handled all needed coordination with parties involved which allowed for a very smooth transaction. Throughout our transaction Marc was very punctual, paid attention to every detail and ensured to follow up after transactions were complete. We are planning on purchasing other properties in Port Orchard area, Marc will be our “go to” real-estate agent.

Phil Sidebottom

Marc Kemp, our broker, is fantastic about understanding our needs and helping us as buyers successfully navigate a challenging "sellers market".

Taylor Soucie

Great communication. Always available to take a call or respond quickly!

Matthew Kokkeler

Marc is a wealth of local knowledge and easy to deal with. He’s always available if you have questions.

Thomas Hess

It has been a pleasure to work with Marc during multiple transactions. I have heard the horror stories from several military friends and family about the issues they were having with their agents. I didn't understand why they are having such a hard time. I bought a house with Marc five years ago and sold that house earlier this month. Both transactions were incredibly smooth and easy. Marc created an atmosphere that was about as stress free as you can get. Now in Texas trying to purchase my forever home I understand the difference between an absolutely, amazing agent like Marc and an agent that is "different."

Jon Parker

December of 2020, an unexpected military move, four months after purchasing my home, compounded with the immediate repayment of the substantial VA Funding Fee, culminated in an inescapable reality of being severely upside-down in the sale of my house. In my mind, any expectation of breaking even was unrealistic. Ahead of the housing surge and with unwavering confidence of a positive outcome, Marc Kemp (my go-to realtor) developed an aggressive market research strategy. He identified an accurate selling price that not only met my needs but would elicit higher bids. Marc exploited cutting-edge technology, rarely used by his competitors, to completely and accurately present my home to prospective buyers that screamed: “buy me.” To offset my sellers’ costs, cutting into his profit margin, he enrolled me in a cash-back program. When the time came to go live, I received multiple, high-yield offers exceeding all expectations. Business relationships come and go. Building bonds takes work. Many realtors arbitrarily use the phrase “I won’t forget you after the sale.” During my first interactions with Marc, when I purchased the house, I knew without a doubt that he is a class act.

Travis Saulat

Marc is the best realtor I have ever worked with. He is highly responsive, communicative, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process and afterwards. Helped me get the best deal possible under the given market.

Amie Tucker

We have worked with Marc as buyers and sellers and would choose him again in a heartbeat! Marc is trustworthy, knowledgeable and responsive. If we’re ever back in Washington, Marc will be my first phone call! Can’t recommend him enough!

Traci Kokkeler

Nearly 5 years ago, Marc helped us buy our home in Gig Harbor. He was such a great help with our purchase that we went back to him when it was time to sell. Marc is knowledgeable, trustworthy, hard-working, and made a typically stressful experience enjoyable! Highly recommend for buying or selling your home!

Philip Sidebottom

Marc Kemp has an extensive understanding and knowledge of the market. His expertise and guidance through the process of selling our home was invaluable. Marc is also very easy to work with. He is personable, professional and very proactive in communicating with us. We will not hesitate to work with Marc in the future and would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family.

TRACY JOHNSON

Marc was absolutely flawless in his handling of the sale of my home. I knew he would be, as he helped me purchase the home 3 1/2 years earlier. His attention to detail and knowledge of the market led to a quick and satisfying sale. Throughout the entire process, I never had to wonder what the next steps were. Marc was there making it an easy and pleasant experience.

Jeanne Juneau

Marc Kemp has been my realtor for eight real estate transactions, owing to his exceptional skill and professionalism. I am very impressed with his expertise with 3-D photos and high-tech imaging for virtual walk-throughs of the property. He communicates clearly and thoroughly, keeping me apprised of the myriad details in the complex buying and selling process. I cannot recommend Marc Kemp more highly!

Michelle Healy

Marc helped us buy our dream home on the Puget Sound. He was extremely easy to work with, was always available for questions and went above and beyond our expectations. Highly recommended!

Edward Willis

We decided to relocate across state lines. We were lucky to find Marc Kemp. He was very patient and kind enough to show us multiple houses remotely to see if we really wanted to fly up and take a look at the home. This is even through losing one home we put on offer on to an all cash offer. We kept looking and Marc kept a high level of service. Then once our offer was accepted he really kept us informed throughout the process, being that trusted advisor. He brings lot of experience to the table and it shows helping buyers navigate buying home even remotely. I would definitely engage Marc's services again without a doubt and highly recommend him to anyone looking in the Seattle Area.

Christina Ramos

Marc helped us in purchasing our first home in Washington & then a few years later he also was by our side for the sale of that home. In both instances he was a true professional. Constant communication through the entire process! We highly recommend him!

Jeffrey Margalus

Marc Kemp handled two home sales for us in close succession (and on opposite sides of the Puget Sound) and did a terrific job with both. He was always reachable and responsive whenever we had a question, and provided honest feedback that helped guide our decision making. We would highly recommend Marc to anybody looking to buy or sell a house! - Jeff & Sara Margalus

Josh Hannan

Marc Kemp embodies all of the attributes that we needed in a realtor: professionalism, attention to the smallest details, expert advice, willingness to help a military family, with a friendly and personal approach. We would recommend Marc & the Kemp Team without hesitation.

Anna Campbell

Marc was extremely communicative during the whole selling process. I know he probably was working with several clients at the time but he always made us feel like a priority. This is the first time we've sold a house and he made it as easy as conditions allowed!

Patrick Brewer

Marc Kemp is awesome!!!

Bill Billings

Marc gave me the best experience I could ask for when it came to finding and buying a home. His well trained eye made sure to point out flaws in all the homes we looked at. He also gave pointers on how to make a sound decision on which home to buy, bringing up things I had never even thought of. We were able to find the perfect home for us due largely in part to the time this man invested in getting us not only what we needed, but also something we loved. His name will always be the first I mention when it comes to real estate. I can’t say enough good things about him. If you need a real estate agent, look no further. You’ve found the best in the business. Thanks so very much Marc!

Vince Koerner

We have worked with Marc twice over the past years, once to buy a house and again to sell a house. We have also worked with several other Real Estate Brokers, both on the East and West sides of Washington state over the past several years. That all said, Marc is our #1 go to Washington Real Estate Broker. We always felt like Marc put our concerns on high priority and kept us informed all the way through the process. We highly recommend Marc for an enjoyable home buying experience.

Josh Hannan

Our thanks to Marc Kemp, our friend and realtor, who helped us buy our first home eleven years ago. He has officially sold that same home for us. It was a huge comfort knowing that Marc had everything taken care of back in Washington while we set up our new home in Germany. We couldn’t have done it without him and would recommend Marc without hesitation.

Patricia Hehrer

Marc is great!! He really knows the area and has an idea of where you can negotiate, how soon you should put in an offer, and what you can offer in different areas. He can narrow down school districts if you have kids and really help you find the perfect house for you!!

Mark Plastina

Marc is very informative and quick to respond. Made our home buying experience easy and fast. Explained to me the step by step process. He has great communication skills.

ceshop

From selling our old home (which Marc helped us buy back in 2009) to buying our new dream home, Marc helped us through it all. When we initially started the process, we didn't think it would be possible, but with his expertise, he guided us through the entire process and thanks to Marc we are now enjoying our new home and have him to thank!

Kaleb Madsen

Marc is great. Super helpful at every step of the way. Especially as a first time homebuyer, I needed a realtor that was patient and knowledgable, and Marc didn't disappoint. I was looking for a home before I moved to the area, which added another layer of complexity, but again, I received great, timely help wherever I needed it. When I finally purchased a home, I was actually traveling abroad, but Marc led the buying effort on my behalf, and I was able to close on the new house within a few days of returning to the country. Highly recommend!

user6273045

Marc is great to work with. He responds immediately and will give you the honest answer to any question. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and 'what ifs.' I highly recommend working with him.

Zuser8177

Marc is a very dedicated realtor that will sacrifice his time to get you into a home that best suites your needs. I highly recommend him as a realtor.

chapslat

I highly recommend Marc! He patiently showed us many homes and accommodated our limited schedule to show us homes even on his day off. He went the extra mile for us at every step of the buying process; even beyond the closing.

Zuser8262

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Marc. Super timely response and just overall pleasant to work with. He really helped make our first home buying experience a positive one.

CorruptedFile

It was a great experience working with Marc. From selling our old house to simultaneously closing on our new house, Marc made this a smooth and relatively stress free transaction. Throughout the whole process he was on top of it and kept us very well informed each step of the way. I would highly recommend Marc to all my friends and family.

Mikayla Ford

Marc was a massive help to us in regards to finding a home to purchase. Since we were stationed overseas during the process, he did all of the hard work for us. He viewed properties, met with the sellers/sellers broker, organized the inspection, etc. on behalf of us. He was honest, straight forward, and extremely helpful. I thought the large time difference would be very difficult, but Marc was always available and responded promptly to every email. 5 stars. He was also very knowledgeable about the area and the mortgage process in WA. We are a military couple moving from overseas and he understood that and did a fabulous job. Highly recommend!

Zuser 2719

Mr. Kemp has done an outstanding job that exceeded our expectations. He was very accommodating to every request with a timely communication and unparalleled knowledge. We will be using him for any future real-estate transactions in Washington area.

user977100

Marc was absolutely wonderful to work with! We were moving from the East Coast and he was nothing but accommodating, patient, and hard-working. He was willing to travel to open houses for us and reach out to several selling agents to discuss homes before we arrived. During the week we were out to find our home, Marc worked tirelessly to accomplish all our goals in a short amount of time. He was patient with us, not only as we traipsed around the entire peninsula looking for our mini farm but as we investigated every corner of each property discussing options and possibilities. With his expertise and recommendations, we were able to beat out several other offers on a wonderful property and found our new home. Marc made the stress of buying a home in a sellers market almost seem easy (almost!). We will definitely work with him again and would recommend him to everyone.

Scott Dwyer

Marc worked closely with us during the nearly two years that we looked for a home in Gig Harbor. He was always available, ready with answers to our questions, responsive to our criteria for a home, and when we finally decided to make an offer, he walked us through the process and represented us in the negotiations as our advocate. Though his fees were paid by the sellers of the home we purchased, my wife and I always felt that Marc was in our corner. Some time after the sale closed, we found that a parcel of land we purchased had not transferred on the title properly. When we brought this up with Marc, he jumped in with both feet, bird-dogged the title company, followed up promptly on all paperwork, and kept us in the loop the entire way. During both our home purchase and the title issue, we felt that Marc anticipated what needed doing next and he took care of it without any question. We highly recommend Marc and would not hesitate to choose him as our agent again.

Jennifer Keating

Marc was absolutely amazing to work with. Knowledgeable, responsive and incredibly patient with us. He was honest when joe shad downfalls and not at all pushy. I highly recommend!

DuggieB

Simply put, Marc is a Rockstar! It took over a year and too many offers to count, but Marc was there every step of the way in a hot market that was moving quickly - without him we wouldn't have gotten the fixer-up house of our dreams. It has been an absolute blast working with Marc, he is our families trusted resource for real estate advise and direction.

Emily Bertram

Marc was an excellent Realtor. He was exactly what we needed when we needed him. When we were super serious and there was a ton of houses on the market he made himself available whenever we were to show us houses. When we took a break from the search for a while he would check in ever so often to see if we were still on the hunt, all the while to make sure we didn't feel pressured. He followed our lead and when we finally found the house that checked all of our many boxes Marc helped us though the buying process with such professionalism and knowledge. We would definitely recommend him as we were not the easiest of clients, but he never made us feel like anything other than his only clients.

Kristen J Ware

We enjoyed using Marc to purchase our first home. He was very organized, responsive, and reliable. He was prompt and available and great with communication. I would recommend him!

henry6596

We were out of town buyers looking for a second home in Puget Sound area. I happen to be a mortgage lender, so I am comfortable when I say I have worked with the 'good' and the 'not so good' real estate brokers. Wonderful experience working with Marc. Marc deserves a 'six of five' .....not a five of five

user474893

It was a pleasure working with Marc. He helped us navigate through a very hot market to find our dream property. He was with us every step of the way and always made himself available throughout our home buying process. Marc is a true professional, I would recommend him without hesitation.

Pamela Knapp

Marc is very knowledgeable and patient, which was perfect for us as first time home buyers. He quickly responded to all of our questions, and gave us great advice about the houses he showed us. His knowledge was especially helpful when it came time to write an offer. If you're buying a house, I highly recommend working with Marc!

clzwan

Marc was very helpful and patient with me during our first home buying experience. I had lots of questions which he answered and helped me through the process. We are very happy with his help especially as we were making a military move from one state to another. He has lots of experience working with military families.

MisakoY

Marc Kemp is a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were his only customers, although we know that was not the case at all! Marc is our go-to Realtor and I highly recommend you to contact him, so you will get to know what I am talking about!

aarongrant329093

This was our second time using Marc Kemp. Both times he went out of his way to help make the process go as smoothly as possible. He has given great advice to us both when we were in the market to buy and again when we were selling. I have recommended him to multiple friends and co-workers and even though I am leaving the area, I will be looking for any chance I have to recommend his service. Thank you for everything, Marc.

dshong

Marc is a phenomenally hard worker. He answered every time I called and was so dedicated to us as a client. He actually helped us buy and then sell the same home 8 years later! I highly recommend Marc as a consummate professional.

user6594184

Marc is an excellent realtor! He was ALWAYS available when we needed him, he helped us buy our house virtually which is harder than being here to buy. He is very knowledgeable about the area. He also is very patient, honest, reliable and professional.

dmness

I was so happy with Marc Kemp as my realtor. From start to finish Marc made everything run smooth, he answered all of the questions I had, he never skipped a beat in the entire process If I were ever to buy a house or sell another home I would definitely use Marc. Thank you Marc for making the sale of my home so easy and painless.

susan lim csulb

My husband and I relocated from California to Washington on military orders, Marc was very helpful during our house hunting process from out of state. We are happy to say that we are officially first time home owners!

urbickthree9

Marc provided excellent information and guidance throughout the process of looking for and purchasing this home. We felt confident in his abilities and with the information he gave us.

Sara Luebbert

I would 100% recommend Marc to any home buyer, especially first timers like myself. He was professional and realistic with me about my options, and really gave my personality and preferences consideration when looking at homes. If he knew something about the place, I trusted him to point me in the right direction and find what best suited me. He made my fiancé and I feel very well informed on all of our decisions, and executed all offers and processes quickly, going above and beyond to walk us through what everything meant. He also was able to negotiate everything we asked for with the sellers, saving us thousands in closing costs and repairs. Marc is the realtor you want to find your new home.

ken04324

I have had the pleasure of working with Marc both as my listing agent and buying agent and recommend him highly. Marc is a very likable and genuine person. He communicates extremely well and is readily available. Marc has the unique ability to wear many different hats for a variety of situations. Most recently he represented my elderly mother in the selling of her home. He was very patient in explaining (and re-explaining) the A to Z's and sat with her well into the evening at her assisted living facility waiting for an expected offer.

Jason Fergesen

Great guy. Always kept me in the loop and addressed all concerns fast. Worked fast and got my house sold in 1 day. Can’t beat that! If I’m ever in the market again in the area, I’m calling Marc Kemp.

Derek Dillabough

Our experience purchasing a home with was nothing but the utmost professional. He was incredibly responsive and took care of us from start to finish. He knew the area like the back of his hand and gave us great recommendations for all facets of the properties we viewed. He helped guide us through the negotiating period with attentiveness to detail and always looked out for our best interest above the seller's. We would highly recommend Marc to anyone looking to purchase a house. He is an unquestioned master of his craft. Even if you are negotiating from afar (Hawaii like us), Marc will be there to help you through every step of the way! Thank you so much Marc for helping my wife and I purchase our new home!

Zuser 8546

Marc was extremely knowledgeable about listings in the area, was always available to show me homes, never pressured me to buy, was efficient with the paperwork in making offers and buying, and was very patient!

Zuser 6050

Marc did a nice job of facilitating our home-buying experience from across the country. He sent us numerous homes matching our search criteria and was always very good to look further at homes we were interested in. He helped coordinate the purchase of our home and kept us informed of its progress as it was being built. He was a great advocate for us throughout the process.

Zuser 0666

I can not speak highly enough of Marc. He is knowledgeable and so helpful, he truly goes above and beyond in every aspect. He works with your schedule the best he can and makes everything go as smoothly as possible throughout the whole process. For all future home purchases and anytime we sell we will use him and I will recommend him to all my friends and family.

ellivia22

My husband and I just purchased our very first home. We came into the process without any idea what to do or what to expect. Marc was absolutely wonderful. He was very focused on what we were looking for and always kept us up to date on suggestive homes. He also didn't sugarcoat anything and was very truthful on how everything worked, which we really appreciated. We were able to get in touch with him very easily. Once we found the house we wanted, he was with us every step of the way, which made us feel very comfortable. We are very happy that he was our realtor and definitely recommend him to anyone purchasing a home.

emilysaito23

I didn’t know what to expect when buying my first home, and I didn’t know exactly what I was looking for either. Marc put together houses and condos for me to look at in the area I was searching for, and made it easy for me to pick several to look at. Not only did Marc keep in touch with me every step of the way, but he also made sure that I understood everything that was happening and what to expect in the coming days each week. Marc is great to work with, and I had the best possible first home buying experience with him!

bollockshreya9

Marc was patient, competent, ethical, and professional in every step of the home buying process. He got back to me immediately, and helped me every step of the way. He also negotiated fixing a circuit in the garage after the house closed. I highly recommend him in your home buying process.

We’re currently station in Japan. Mr Marc helped us to find our first home. He’s very patient with us, answered all our questions and responds very quickly knowing our time difference. He showed us the videos of each houses we wanted to look and told his honest opinions. I would highly recommend him.

Marc has been amazing to work with! He helped us buy our first home 4 years ago and just recently helped us sell it! He is very patient, very knowledgeable, and always has his clients best interest! We can’t wait to work with him again when we are ready to buy our next home!

Marc made selling my home incredibly easy. He always made himself available for any questions I had. He also explained every step of the process to me as needed.

Marc Kemp is an excellent agent. He is on top of every detail of the sale and his advice is always spot on. He never failed to quickly return a call and answer every question we had. Let Marc work for you. You will not be disappointed.

Richard Juneau

Being a home inspector myself, I know lots of real estate brokers. Marc is the real deal, a seasoned professional that I genuinely trust, and the only broker I wanted to work with when it came time to selling my own home. My girlfriend and I were moving in together, so we had to coordinate two home sales and one purchase. From our first meeting, Marc calmly walked us through the process and the various decisions that will need to be made, timing, strategy, etc. Getting the asking price right is critical, and Marc did an excellent job finding the most appropriate comps. For both of our houses, his research and insight gave us the confidence to raise our asking prices 6-8% higher than our personal best estimates, which literally put thousands in our pockets, as both houses appraised full value and our sales went through with no problems. On our purchase, we were targeting a very specific area near Bremerton, and when the next listing hit the market, Marc was on the phone with us within 15 minutes. We were the first prospective buyers to visit the house that same day, and we submitted a carefully-crafted offer that night. We were under contract the next day! We would gladly work with Marc again, and recommend him without hesitation.

Aaron Henderson

This was my first home purchase, and Marc guided me through the process the whole way. We submitted a bid on two houses and closed over a week early on the 2nd/final house. I highly recommend Marc, as his knowledge of the local market will only make the home buying process quicker and easier.

jonnyd 98

Very responsive, dedicated, and able to translate our desires/requirements into available listings. Highly recommend, will use again if needed to buy or sell in the future.

Steven Maloney

Mark was extremely helpful for my family and I being in a different state while PCSing to feel confident in the home to purchase. He was there to answer questions and quickly help with getting everything set up for our new home.

Marc is truly not only a great realtor but also a great person. He listened to our needs to understand how he can best help our family during a very difficult time. He stayed in constant contact with us providing market updates and thoughtful strategies to sell our house. I would recommend Marc to anyone looking to work with a caring thoughtful person who will represent you with vigor.

groveclan

Marc helped us purchase our home 10 years ago and the entire experience was seamless even though there were plenty of opportunity for issues. We called him to sell our home this January and his market knowledge helped us to place it correctly in the market and we sold in 4 days. He always responds immediately to calls or emails and makes himself available when needed. Solidly satisfied!

Vergie Foster

Marc is very reliable, honest and remarkable, always have an answers for any questions I had regarding home buying. He is the best agent I ever met. He made my home buying experience less stressful and successful. I would recommend him to all my friends that are planning to buy a house!

sportychik6

Marc Kemp is a great realtor who went above and beyond! He was genuinely invested from the beginning, helping us look our home, narrowing down and sticking to our preferences. He knew what we valued and wanted, and never pressured us to look at houses that didn’t fit. He never hesitated to go check out a house for us, being that we were living in Virginia at the time, and on several occasions checked them out more than once to measure rooms so we knew exactly what we were getting into. He answered what felt like endless lists of questions and if he couldn’t answer he knew exactly who to talk to to get the answer we needed. He never had anything negative to say and was always in a positive mood! He made our across country home buying experience absolutely wonderful. We would recommend Marc to anyone!! Thank you Marc!

Caitlin M

I was a first time home buyer and Marc was able to break everything down to my understanding. He made the process extremely easy for me, especially since it is hard for me to take off from work. We were able to do a lot of the leg work via email. I loved that! I would definitely recommend Marc, and I will definitely use him again if I plan to move.

Margret G Fields

Marc was great. He was helpful and answered all my questions. He was very professional and knows the area well. I would definitely recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.

breenan ed

Marc was phenomenal! My wife and I used Marc to find a house in the Bremerton/Silverdale area and we could not be happier with the service he provided. With exceptional service and communication, and a great knowledge of the area, Marc was able to answer any questions we had and guide us through the entire buying process. If you’re looking for a realtor that is honest, friendly and very knowledgeable I would highly recommend Marc.

Josh Flakus

We highly recommend Marc Kemp as a Real Estate agent. Marc helped my wife and I buy our home in Poulsbo and was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the real estate market here. His advice steered us towards a neighborhood more suited to us then we we were previously looking at, and saved us considerably on price during negotiations. His advice proved invaluable during the inspection and appraisal process. We had a great experience working with Marc and absolutely recommend him.

Amie Michelle Tucker

Marc was an outstanding realtor from start to finish! His local knowledge was invaluable to us as we are new to the area. He was extremely responsive and always prompt. We highly recommend Marc Kemp and would choose him again in a heartbeat!

John Spain

Marc is very polite and knowledgeable. For a first time buyer he made us feel well informed. He will tell it like it is and isnt just trying to make a sale. If he sees something that wont be good for you then he will tell you. I will work with Marc again when we decide to move in the future.

If you are buying or listing a property contact Marc Kemp. Buying a home is a big decision. At times the process can be an emotional roller coaster full of set backs. When we decided we’d be buying a home site unseen it felt overwhelming. Once we started to work with Marc our distress disappeared. To begin Marc spent weeks driving all over Kitsap and Mason counties viewing properties on our behalf. He took videos from the drive up to the time he left. He included pictures of every detail we could imagine (and in our inexperience some we could not). It honestly felt like we had been there, which was much appreciated. As we began to narrow our options questions and concerns naturally arose. Marc was there with an immediate response to every email regardless of how small the issue was. Throughout the process, and to this day, we feel Marc is a caring guy who kept our interests at heart. Once we were in contract on a home Marc attended our inspections on our behalf. He was always providing us with updates and feedback. The inspector we used was one Marc works with regularly; like Marc he was detailed and professional in his reporting. In the end we were confident in our purchase even though we had never physically been to the house! We are now happily moved into our home and hope to stay for many years. Again if you are buying or listing a property do it with Marc on your team.

anna j law1

My husband and I are first time home buyers so we were very nervous about the whole process. We went with Marc because of his extensive experience with military relocations and we couldn't be happier with his help. He's extremely communicative, connected with reputable companies essential to the homebuying process, and most importantly, he got us the home we asked for at the price we wanted.

gissbay908

Marc Kemp is a man of his word. He is your advocate through the entire home purchasing process, with the patience of a Saint! We highly recommend working with Marc for all of your real estate needs. He is thorough, diligent, and personable.

Wil Watkins

Marc is an incredibly patient and professional agent. He was glad to provide me any additional tools he could to make my search easier. He was available and helpful at every step of the process including the loan process, answering questions and providing easy to understand explanations on those processes. I look forward to doing business with him in the future.

Brody Mahoney

We are first-time home owners, so we don't have much to compare too. However, the our agent was genuine and an overall pleasure to work with. As first-time buyers we were pleased how well he helped us find a desirable and compatible home for us. Even though we lacked experience in this area, our agent made us feel confident as we progressed through the sale. Most importantly, we truly appreciated the constant level of communication.

David Blankenship

Mr. Kemp was a consummate professional from start to finish. He kept me informed, always answered the phone/promptly returned phone calls and was extremely knowledgeable. He was referred by his Principle Broker, Mr. Dave Bastian, and I was truly fortunate to have Mr. Kemp as my Real Estate Broker. He receives my highest recommendation!

Mark Kolander

Marc Kemp and Richard Kemp were by far the most present, efficient and pleasant real estate agents we have ever used. We have already very highly recommended Marc and Richard to individuals intending to list their homes. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience!!

JG & Sons, LLC

Marc Kemp has been a trusted advisor on several real estate transactions for me. He is smart, thorough, and a pleasure to work with.

Daniel Butler

Marc Kemp was not only knowledgeable, engaged and proactive, but knew when to prod me to move in a diplomatic way.

Jose R. Zamora Jr.

Very knowledgeable. We looked at over 55 houses and asked a million questions and Richard or Marc never showed frustration. They were always on time.

David Hesseltine

Marc was such a pleasure to work with. He is knowledgeable and doesn't play games. He tells you how it is, whether it's what you want to hear or not and we very much appreciated that. He saved us money, time and heartache. We can't wait to buy our next home through Marc!

Colin O'Kane

Marc was very patient and helpful for my first home purchase. I will recommend him to anyone buying a home in this area.

Karen Campidilli

Even though the property that I listed was not a high dollar sale, Richard and Marc Kemp took the time to follow up on leads, contact builders in the area, and advertise the property in local newspapers. They really treated the listing as if it was their number one priority. I could not be happier with the sale!

Richard Wissman

Marc Kemp did a wonderful job walking us through the selling process of our home, making for a stress free sale.

Patrick Henderson

Marc Kemp was awesome! I met with a few real estate agents through other offices and was frankly never comfortable with them. I felt like I was being pressured into buying and in retrospect their aggression bordered on overt rudeness to the point where I had decided I didn't want to buy a house, but then my friends recommended Marc at Coldwell. From the start, he was friendly and personable. I never felt like I was being rushed into anything. Marc was always helpful and would respond to all of my questions instantly. I will definitely recommend him to all of my friends and will plan to use your office again when I'm ready to sell.

Marc Kemp has been very professional in our real estate needs. We were referred to him when we moved to Washington in 2017. Marc helped us buy our house in Port Orchard in 2017 as well as sold that house 3 years later in 2020. Marc is also selling our current home in Everett. Marc is always available for a phone call, will answer texts in a timely fashion and available for any questions. Marc has guided us through both the buying and selling process putting our minds to rest, knowing we can trust him with his knowledge. We are very pleased with his services and will refer him to those in the market for buying and selling.

Eric Jautaikis

Marc did an outstanding job supporting us during our recent home sale. As a military member owning a house in the area, he supported us in many areas within our difference in time zones to meet our different needs in selling our house. His guidance and knowledge on the local market were key to supporting the sale of the house where we had little local knowledge on the current conditions.

Eric Jautaikis

Marc helped us with selling our house in Port Orchard when we were on the other side of the country. His help and advice along the way allowed us to focus on the important things and keep the bigger picture in mind. Always responsive at any hour, he went above and beyond to support us in the selling of our house.

Katie Deno

Marc definitely made our first home buying experience a good one, we couldn't ask for more!

Angie Buchan

My husband and I love Marc. He helped us through the entire selling/buying process, was there for us every step of the way. Would highly recommended the Kemp Team to anyone looking to sell and/or purchase a new home!

Marc was always willing to meet us. He squeezed us in while he was busy was other things, but never made us feel like he was doing us a favor (even though he was)

JG & Sons, LLC

Marc Kemp is smart, resourceful, realistic and wise. He will always be my favorite realtor.

Philip Sidebottom

Marc Kemp really did a great job helping us sell our vacation property! He spent a great deal of time researching the current market conditions and helped us agree on a price for the listing. He gave us advice on staging the home and preparing it so that it would show well. When the home went on the market there was steady interest and showings and it was not long before we had an offer. Again, Marc gave us sound advice and guided us through the closing process. Overall, we could not be happier with Marc and the results that we had working with him. He understood our needs and concerns, he knows the business extremely well and every step of the way I knew that we were in good hands.

Edward L Snellgrove

Marc was very professional Every thing was on time or ahead of schedule that Marc gave us

Rosie Santos

We just recently bought our first home from Marc. He has been nothing short of AMAZING! He walked us through the whole process, was very accommodating (we are currently out of state), and has gone ABOVE and BEYOND continuing to help us even AFTER the purchase. We would HIGHLY recommend working with them. Thanks Marc!

Anthony Garand

Marc was willing to cover a huge range from Bonney lake, Olympia to Poulsbo. Very knowledgeable in building materials which influenced my purchasing choices. I got an accepted offer on my second house and in this market that is a crazy achievement.
