Outstanding service, exceeds expectations and gets the job done!
A heartfelt THANK YOU to Marvin Bobbitt with Frank Ward, Realtors for the excellent care, attention to detail, and expertise in selling our house. I felt like we had special white-glove treatment; but that is how Marvin treats all of his clients. He is truly one of the kindest, most sincere people I have ever met. Pair that with his expertise, experience and passion and you have someone who gets the job done extremely well with the most pleasant experience possible. Throughout the process, Marvin explained things in detail and kept us informed every step of the way. That was comforting, especially since we had already moved and were no longer living in the area. He guarded our personal information and took care of our house as if it were his own. Marvin is a real master of the craft and exceeded our expectations in every way. I highly recommend Marvin and Frank Ward, Realtors if you are selling or buying a house.
Sincerely,

Professional, Relentless and Passionate. Marvin gets the job done
Marvin Bobbitt is a remarkable real estate broker/ REALTOR. He has learned the technical aspects of the craft though many years of experience. But what makes Marvin extraordinary is his professional, relentless and passionate pursuit to get the deal done. He goes way “above and beyond” with his craft, offering to help in whatever way is needed. Marvin is not just a fabulous real estate broker, but he is an amazing human being that you absolutely can trust. I not only found a great REALTOR, but I believe I also gained a lifelong friend!

The BEST REALTOR we have ever dealt with! "Concierge level of service"
Marvin Bobbitt has ruined all other REALTORS for us - and I mean that! We were completely blown away by Marvin's level of professionalism and the amount of attention he provided to make sure the sale of our home was a seamless and worry-free experience. I cannot think of an instance where he did not proactively call us and let us know everything about each and every step of the selling process. If you want to sell your home and have a concierge level of service in doing so, then I would definitely recommend you give Marvin and his team a call - they are on your side while being professional and will definitely take care of you!

Singing the praises for Marvin Bobbitt with Frank Ward, REALTORS
I want to take this opportunity to sing the praises for Marvin Bobbitt with Frank Ward, REALTORS for his tireless work and dedication for the sale of our house in Durham. I’ve personally known Marvin since childhood. So, my testament comes with a long-time connection to one of the most kind, trustworthy, and hardworking individuals walking amongst us. On top of listing our house, we were packing up to move across country at the same time. Our house quickly got an offer by a lovely couple who could immediately see the love and effort we’ve poured into it through the years. They are excited about continuing the love we left behind. This is one of the bigger life stresses and it was made so much more manageable by one of the best and most professional in the Durham area. We can’t thank him enough for guiding us through this process and checking on the house after our move before the new owners took possession.

INCREDIBLE JOB!

Very thorough and rapid response to ALL communications,text, etc usually within minutes. Marvin has the tools and can handle things especially for out of town Sellers like myself. Marvin worked with me and helped me think thru the selling process (4) years prior to me deciding to finally sell my home this past August 2018, while supplying me with sale data, comps, and information about my home, all with no pressure, plus excellent guidance. I recommend Marvin if you are selling your home. Thank you Marvin good job.J. Cagle

Very Professional and dedicated; Number 1 TOP RATED REALTOR!
Our Father "Eric" hired Marvin Bobbitt & Frank Ward, REALTORS early 2017. Our father liked that Marvin listened, took lots of notes and researched the property thoroughly, deeds, property lines,etc. Our father also liked that Marvin was supportive, caring and sincere. Nearly EVERYDAY for months Marvin checked on our father and our home. In late 2017 our father passed away, Marvin was there for Eric at this time. My brother and myself realized our agent Marvin Bobbitt was caring, sincere, reassuring and motivated during the transition from our father to us. With us living being 2-3 hours away Marvin frequently checked on our home checking out things, looking after our property, checking doors, lights, making sure our home was safe and sound, this includes trips at night time, weekends, etc. Marvin would also video/face timed our conversations so we could view our property via cell phone. Marvin was always there for us as our agent. We want all to know Marvin Bobbitt is very professional and a dedicated REALTOR, this is what it takes to be a top rated real estate agent/REALTOR. Marvin became more than a real estate agent to our father , Eric, me and my brother, he is a trusted friend.
Sincerely, K.P. Cochran and D.R. Porter

Thank you Marvin & Donna!
Marvin & Donna and Frank Ward, REALTOR TEAM, my wonderful realtors had sold my house after only 5 days. The entire experience exceeded my expectations. I sold my house due to my husband’s passing and they were very respectful and sensitive to my needs. They came the day after I called them. Marvin and Donna brought all documents to me so I didn't have to go to his office. They was always available if I had questions...Since I was out of area during this time. They drove by the house to be sure all was OK until the closing. They kept me in the loop every step of the way. Even today Marvin called to be sure I was satisfied with this entire process. If you need a realtor, I highly recommend Marvin and Donna and his team.
