Hi, I'm Marsha and here's a little bit about me. I moved to the Raleigh, North Carolina area in 1996 from Charleston, West Virginia where I was a home decor district trainer and coordinator for contractors and builders of a national home improvement chain, and I am a graduate of Marshall University. A new job opportunity as an interior designer and manager of a family owned firm brought me here, and I am happy that I made the decision to make the Triangle area of North Carolina home. I currently live in Apex, NC with my husband Curt and our sons Dylan & Joseph.
I decided to make the transition into real estate because of my love for homes and my background in working with builders, contractors, project management and homeowners. My experience has proven to be a valuable asset to my clients in regards to the home buying and selling process with all the details and deadlines that have to be met. I will be with you every step of the way and guide you through the negotiations and a successful close.
Success means different things to different sellers. For some sellers that means selling within a specific time frame, and for others it's all about selling at the right price, and I have the right strategy to meet your goals. I started noticing a trend in the questions that I was getting from clients, friends and family about the process of looking at homes that meet their needs as well as the needs of their family members. I have the resources and strategies in place to help the different generations in your family reach their goals in the home buying and selling process.Listening to the needs of my clients has always been my top priority and needs change over time, and I will be here ready to help any way I can.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, and when you are ready to buy or sell a home in Wake, Durham, Orange, Chatham, Harnett or Johnson counties, I will be here to help you every step of the way.

Marsha kept us informed through the entire process. She went above her job expectation to make sure everything was taken care of for us. She is truly a “professional”. Always felt she had our best interests at hand. Have used her for two transactions and would use her again.

Marsha is an excellent realtor. I spent several years trying to find a new home and found it very difficult to navigate through the process in the current housing market. Marsha is extremely knowledgeable and very professional. She helped me through the entire process from start to finish. She was truly an advocate for me as a home buyer. I recommend her without hesitation for anyone looking for a good realtor. She is truly awesome!

Marsha did an amazing job as our realtor. She was extremely prepared and organized on every step of the process. She helped us sell our home, and buy another home in the same neighborhood. Everything really could not have gone any smoother. She was always available to answer all of the questions along the way. I truly enjoyed having Marsha working with us, I would highly highly recommend her!

Marsha was wonderful throughout our selling and buying process. We could not have asked for a smoother transaction - the timing worked out perfectly. Even in this crazy up and down market we were able to buy at a great price and sell at at great price also. She was always incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. We had moved around a bit and bought and sold 5 properties around the country prior to this home and she is our favorite agent that we have worked with. We love our new home! We will 100% recommend her to friends or colleagues. Thank you so much Marsha! :)

Last time Marsha helped sell our house for a six figure profit and we enlisted her again to find us our perfect next home. We asked Marsha that this may take long as we were not willing to settle at all! Marsha, to her credit, is always understanding and patient with us as we looked at home after home for several weeks. We found one and Marsha was with us the whole time day after day. She is consistent, polite, never pushy, punctual and always understanding to her clients. She was also able to notice before anyone foundation issues on a potential house we were looking at and steered us away quickly! That is what you want in a realtor - someone who looks out for your well-being/future and not just the sale. This is also why we will suggest Marsha to friends/family going forward!

Marsha was very knowledgeable and thorough during the selling and buying processes of our houses. She kept everything in order and was very efficient in all the paperwork. Marsha continues to be a great realtor after the sale by sending us updates and notifications of our new neighborhood community. She was very knowledgeable concerning current market conditions and best practices. I highly recommend Marsha Shamblee for all your real estate needs.

I have known Marsha for over 15 years on a personal note and I cannot say enough about her. These accolades carryover to my experience with her as a realtor. Most recently she represented us in the building of a new home and she was incredible. She was very informative and every question or concern we had was addressed by her immediately and fully. I would and do recommend her to utilize her expertise in either buying or selling.

I find that most people will brag about their real estate agent if asked, but Marsha really goes above and beyond the very best real estate agents out there. Marsha helped me close on my dream house in the middle of the pandemic. Thanks to her advice and leadership we were able to win the deal and it was only my second offer on a house during a time when the market was unbelievably hot. She even walked me through the house via facetime and put me in touch with a PHENOMENAL home inspector. Marsha has the connections you need to secure a house in this market and she even inspected my crawlspace for me and collected my mail. I can't even begin to imagine another agent that would go to these depths for someone nor have this many connections. On top of that Marsha is kind, easy to work with and will respond to your calls! Very on top of things. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Marsha is so FANTASTIC. She was critical in helping us communicate with our builder to get our house completed. Every time we took an issue to her...she was on it, immediately. She also kept us completely informed on everything that was happening throughout the buying process. When I need a realtor Marsha Shamblee is my first and only call.

I cannot say enough positive things about working with Marsha!!!! She impressed me from the very beginning with her knowledge of the home selling process and REALLY knew her stuff! Selling your home during a pandemic takes some out of the box thinking and we felt very comfortable having Marsha there to guide us. Marsha's communication was paramount and very prompt. She had an answer to all of our questions and if she didn't, she found that answer and shared it within minutes. She was always there at any time for a phone call or text. To say Marsha was a pleasure to work with would not give her enough credit; she was so much more!!! We were expecting the home selling process to be quite the headache, but in working with Marsha, it was the absolute opposite. When we hit a few bumps in the road, she guided us through it without a hitch! If you are possibly interested in selling your home you will have ZERO REGRETS in working with Marsha. Her dedication to her clients best interest and exceptional communication really shows!! 5/5 stars would ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!! :)

Marsha came through at a rough time for us. We had just let go of our previous realtor and she exceeded all of our expectations. We had alot of specific criteria - we had to move at a certain time, location, etc and Marsha was cool and calm throughout the process and ATTENTIVE! She is someone who communicates - which is something we lacked before ! Her experience is invaluable especially for first time home buyers like us. We would recommend her wholeheartedly and would use her in the future as well as recommend her to anyone else!

My wife and I have moved a lot through the years. Marsha was referred to us by our last realtor who has moved operations out of the area. Boy do we owe her a thank you note. Marsha has been a wonderful resource, a guide and a cheering section all rolled into one. She started strong by sitting down with us and mapping out exactly why we were considering moving, what we needed in our new home, and how we wanted to market our existing home. Within a week she assisted my wife in finding a great match for our needs and helped us negotiate when there were 8 offers on the table. She guided us through the inspections, the appraisal and the renegotiation when the appraisal came in lower than the contract price. On the sale of our home she helped us stay excited about our move and selling even when COVID-19 closed down showings the day after we listed. She pushed the marketing with pictures, video, and social media resulting in us finding the right buyer in less than two weeks. She then provided all the checks and balances through the closing on both homes. So glad Marsha was available to make our new home a reality despite the chaos of the period. Thank you.

She did a GREAT job in every area of the sale process. Her patience and dedication to our needs were the highlights in working with her. Could not have ask for a better Real Estate agent,

I would highly recommend Marsha. We had an unusual title situation with a property my sister who is out of state was purchasing. Marsha was attentive to detail and stayed on top of all parties involved (attorney, builder, HOA) for daily updates. She kept both my sister and I updated at all times. She was always available to answer questions. Knowledgeable on all aspects of home buying and reached out to get us answers to anything she didn't know. And when we had concerns if the sale would ever go through Marsha was always there with her calm disposition reassuring us that everything will work out. And it did! We were truly pleased to have her on our team.

When our paths crossed with Marsha we weren't looking for our forever realtor. She was the real estate agent associated with one of the first houses we liked enough to call for a viewing and we were actually nervous about taking that leap. It was one of the best decisions we made. Marsha did everything we could have asked of her - she listened to what we wanted and made the search process so much simpler than we ever imagined. She was patient, honest, always available for our never-ending questions and we truly felt she was invested in our family. If we could give Marsha 50 stars, we would!

Things have changed greatly since then, and Marsha was with us every step of the way when we decided to relocate.When we saw various houses online, we called Marsha, and she would meet our daughter at the properties and send detailed videos, explaining pros and cons.
