Agent Spotlight: Marilyn Richesin – Serving Military Families and Growing a Real Estate Business

By klrw1161@kw.com October 24, 2024

After dedicating 25 years to a flourishing career in advertising and marketing, Marilyn Richesin embarked on a new journey into the world of real estate in her home town of Hampton Roads.  Invited by her first mentors, Steve and Heather Heishman, Marilyn joined Keller Williams Elite Western Branch because of its unmatched focus on agent training and development. What really stood out to Marilyn was KW’s dedication to turning agents into true business owners.  When Marilyn’s husband Jason was transferred to Naval Base Bangor in May of 2020, she made the decision to join Keller Williams Greater 360.  The support she’s received—from designated brokers to operating partners—has helped her build a thriving business, one that operates as a team and a family. But beyond the training and business support, it’s the Keller Williams culture that has really made an impact. Marilyn loves the collaborative spirit, the commitment to ethics, and the fact that everyone is always willing to lend a helping hand. It’s a company that encourages growth, not just as a REALTOR, but as a person.

For Marilyn, real estate is about more than just buying and selling homes—it’s about giving back to the community, especially the military families she holds close to her heart. Having grown up in a military family and later becoming a military spouse herself, Marilyn understands the unique challenges these families face. Moving across the country, or even the world, far away from their support networks can be tough. That’s why Marilyn stays involved with military spouse groups, volunteers at local fundraisers, and assists newcomers in getting settled in the area. For her, it’s not just about finding a house; it’s about making sure families feel welcomed, connected, and supported.  Marilyn knows what it’s like to start over in a new community, and she’s passionate about being that friendly face who’s always ready to help. Whether it’s connecting them with local resources or simply offering advice on the best spots in town, Marilyn is dedicated to making the transition as smooth as possible.

In late 2022, Marilyn’s business took an exciting turn when her husband, Jason, retired from the Navy and joined her team. It was a natural fit, and together, they’re a dynamic duo working hard to help families settle into the Kitsap community.

Whether she’s helping military families or working alongside her husband to grow their business, she’s all about building connections and making a difference, one family at a time.
