Marlee Russell - Realtor

One of my favorite calls to get is, “Hey, a friend gave me your name.” 🥹

This family was referred to me because they had outgrown their current space and needed a home that worked better for their blended family (and, let’s be honest, their two fur babies too 🐾).

The minute we walked through this one, we all had that feeling. You know the one.

The challenge? We weren’t the only ones who loved it. With a lot of interest on the property, we had to move quickly and put together a strong, strategic offer that would stand out without overcomplicating things.

A few negotiations, some crossed fingers, and one accepted contract later… they’re officially HOME. 🏡✨

Now they have the space they need to make memories, grow together, and start their next chapter. And yes, the human kids will enjoy it too… but I have a feeling the dogs may have already claimed the backyard. 😂🐶

Thank you for trusting me with such a big milestone and thank you to the client who sent them my way. Referrals will never stop meaning the world to me. ❤️

POV: your Realtor says “we can totally knock out a few showings” and suddenly you’re touring 16 houses in one day across Roanoke 😅🏡

These two were relocating from out of state for Carilion and were on a MAJOR time crunch before residency life officially kicks in. They found me through another Carilion match couple I helped before (which is seriously the biggest compliment ever 🫶).

The goal?
✨ Character
✨ Space
✨ Semi move-in ready
✨ A commute that wouldn’t make those 12+ hour shifts even longer

After a veryyyy long day of showings, lots of “wait… go back to that one,” and enough caffeine to concern a physician… we found the house 💙

Helping relocation clients learn the different pockets of Roanoke while trying to balance commute times, home styles, and budget will forever be one of my favorite parts of this job.

Some homes you tour… and some you feel 🤍🏡

1912 Bluemont Ave SW is that perfect Raleigh Court blend—1929 character, updated livability, and a layout that just makes sense.

What you’ll notice:
• 3 beds | 2 full baths
• Front porch you’ll actually use
• Warm, original details throughout
• Fully fenced backyard + deck = hosting, relaxing, pets ✔️
• Detached garage = gym / workshop / storage
• Off-street parking (because convenience matters)

And you’re minutes to Grandin Village—coffee runs, dinner spots, and movie nights at the Grandin Theater 🎬

This is the kind of home people wait for 😉

Screened-in porch mornings, fenced yard zoomies, and being 10 minutes from Bridgewater Plaza 🤍🏡🐾

1392 Virginia Woods Dr is one of those homes that doesn’t try too hard — it just works. Easy layout, good light, and a backyard you’ll actually use. The kind of place where life feels a little more… settled.

What you’ll notice right away:
🌿 Screened-in porch for coffee, wine, or doing absolutely nothing
🐾 Fully fenced yard (your dog already approves)
☀️ Bright living space that flows into kitchen + dining
✨ Durable vinyl plank throughout the main level
🚫 No HOA
🪨 That rock walkway when you pull up… so good

Tucked into a quiet neighborhood, but still close enough to be at the lake or Bridgewater Plaza in about 10 minutes — which, if you know the area, is kind of the sweet spot.

Not overcomplicated. Not a project. Just a solid home in a location that makes sense.
