Marie Sue Parsons graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1963. After a two year teaching stint in Laguna Beach and in Goleta, she and her husband served two years in the Peace Corps in Micronesia. Upon their return she continued teaching elementary school in Goleta until she started her family. After the birth of her three children she began her highly successful real estate career, and has been a top producer ever since. As a former teacher, she takes particular pride in helping her clients find new homes in neighborhoods with excellent schools, both for their own children and for the resale advantages. As an agent representing sellers, Marie Sue prides herself on the number of times she gets referrals and repeat business from her very satisfied clients. She has served on the Association of Realtors Professional Standards committee for several terms and recently was awarded the Santa Barbara Association of Realtor's Honorary Member for Life and the National Association's Realtor Emeritus Designation. Marie Sue was delighted that her younger daughter Stephanie Young joined her in the business in 2006 and together they have earned the Berkshire Hathaway's Chairman's Circle Diamond designation recognized in the top 1/2 per cent of all BHHS agents worldwide. They are ready to serve you with a combined total of 62 years in the real estate business.
