In Washington D.C.'s fiercely competitive real estate market, one skill separates the exceptional from the ordinary: the ability to negotiate. Marjorie Dick Stuart has earned her reputation as Cleveland Park's premier "expert negotiator," consistently delivering top-dollar results for sellers and winning brutal bidding wars for buyers through her strategic approach to deal-making psychology.

Marjorie's negotiation mastery centers on her groundbreaking "Prism of Positioning" concept—a strategic framework that approaches every decision through one critical lens: "How will this strategy make it easier to increase your chances of putting more money in your pocket?" This proven signature approach has positioned her as the top negotiator in the city.

Take her seemingly effortless negotiation at 3530 Rodman Street, where Marjorie's "Sneak Peek" strategy generated $140,000 over the full asking price in just three days. This wasn't luck—it was strategic positioning that created competitive urgency and delivered a six-figure premium for her seller.

What sets Marjorie apart is her unconventional negotiation psychology. "I tell buyers and their agents not quite exactly what you want… but close enough to get things exciting," she explains. "They believe me… and sometimes give you a little more. You know why? Because I'm helping them 'win' your house!" This counterintuitive approach transforms adversarial negotiations into collaborative victories.

Marjorie's negotiation expertise has been tested across four decades of market volatility—from 18-20% interest rates in the 1980s to the 2008 economic collapse, pandemic disruptions, and today's shifting conditions. Through each challenge, her ability to adapt negotiation strategies has kept clients ahead of market swings.

Her track record speaks volumes: recognized as the #1 agent and sole member of the "International Society of Excellence" in the Coldwell Banker DC Metro Region, ranked in the top 1% of all residential professionals in North America by The Realty Alliance, and annually rated one of D.C.'s Top Agents by Washingtonian Magazine.

Client Stephen Wagner, a seasoned businessman, chose Marjorie after interviewing 8-9 brokers: "The thing that pushed her over the edge was that she knows how to negotiate a deal. That's a big part of my business life. It's not easy. It's not for everybody. She doesn't leave a stone unturned."

Marjorie's influence extends far beyond individual transactions. She co-authored the best-seller "UNcommon" with Brian Tracy, earning the QUILLY Award from the National Academy of Best-Selling Authors. Her negotiation insights have been featured on Success Today TV across ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX affiliates nationwide, and the Washington Post.

Her innovative "Pyramid of Positioning" strategies, combined with tools like "Predict the Price" feedback loops and "Sneak Peek" top dollar shortcuts, have revolutionized how clients approach market positioning for maximum returns.

What truly differentiates Marjorie's negotiation style is her authentic approach. She frequently prefaces advice with "If you were my best friend..." and means it. This genuine care translates into fierce advocacy at the negotiation table, but with a refreshing perspective that sets clients at ease. As one client puts it, working with Marjorie means "it'll be fun"—transforming what's often a stressful process into an enjoyable experience.

Client Laura Collins experienced this firsthand: "Marjorie listened closely to what we wanted to accomplish as sellers... her upbeat, positive attitude had an infectious effect... We ended up with five solid offers!"

Marjorie conducts business from anywhere—whether traveling on vacation, attending her son's college baseball games, or operating from both her Cleveland Park base and Beverly Hills office. This flexibility allows her to be available when critical negotiation moments arise.

Today, agents frequently call asking "What would Marjorie do?" She's expanding her influence through speaking, training, and mentoring top agents, sharing the negotiation strategies that have made her Cleveland Park's "favorite agent."

Marjorie Dick Stuart represents the gold standard in real estate negotiation—combining strategic thinking, psychological insight, and authentic relationship-building to consistently deliver top dollar fast—all with a dash of fun!
