Marj Carpenter’s career in real estate began during a time of need: she needed a way to support her family and found success in a career she has come to love. Now, with over 30 years in real estate under her belt, she has made strides at RE/MAX Suburban and her success has been recognized. RE/MAX has awarded her the Lifetime Achievement Award and put her in the company’s Hall of Fame. Carpenter was also named one of the best real estate agents in America in 2013-2018 by REAL Trends and Trulia. She credits her accomplishments to her acute listening skills and her dedication to getting any job done, no matter how difficult. “My clients say I'm nice and I listen. If they have a crazy idea, I do my best to help them accomplish it if it's really something they decide they want,” she says. “I'm always there when they need me and do everything I can to meet their schedules and their needs.” She also prides herself on her honesty. “I tell them the truth,” she says. “I tell them what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. They might not like it at the time, but they know I only have their best interest at heart.” Carpenter says one of her proudest accomplishments of 2019 was helping over 60 families, "and that's what my business is all about,” she says. Her biggest personal accomplishment of 2016 was being able to bring her children, grandchildren and parents to Puerto Rico for a family vacation. Similarly, she enjoys seeing her clients happy. “I truly think it's wonderful that I could help so many more people last year. I did it with very little extra help and I still had time off,” she says. “I got to increase time with most of my clients and added going away parties into the things I do for them. I love it!” In 2019, she qualified for World 70.3 Ironman Triathlon Championship. "It was so fabulous to go to Nice, France to race with some of the best in the world! I hope to qualify again soon for World Championships in another location!"
