With expert knowledge of the local market and the real estate industry as a whole, Marinescu will analyze all market data and identify the most significant opportunities for her clients. Being diplomatic and kindhearted, she also has the ability to make her real estate services delightful and fulfilling for her clients. “I am not only interested in making a real estate sale; I am also interested in making a contribution in peoples’ lives,” she said.
