"We wanted to thank you for helping us find our new home! We absolutely love it and are so grateful for your positive and energetic advice and expertise." - Adam
Originally from Providence, Rhode Island, I attended Northeastern University in Boston before moving to Colorado in 1983. I happily reside in Boulder between the Mapleton and Newlands neighborhoods, a location which offers both peaceful, tree-lined streets and is a short stroll to eventful downtown Pearl Street and Mt Sanitas. It has been a privilege to raise my three children here, and though they are all now grown or in college, I stay up-to-date on all the school information.
I have been a licensed Realtor since 1996, and am very experienced in re-sales, new home sales, finding your perfect new home, and discovering investment properties. I own several rental properties, and I just love the investment side of real estate.
Previously, while working at RE/MAX, I was inducted into the RE/MAX International Hall of Fame, the Platinum Club, and the 100% Club. I’m pleased to have found my home at 8z Real Estate, where I lead a team (not your traditional team, we all work individually) and have received several awards, including earning Club 10 - for the highest performers - every year. Many of my clientele are repeat buyers and sellers or originate from past client referrals. This is a true reflection of how I conduct my business: with my clients’ best interests at heart.
Prior to my career in real estate, I worked in the restaurant industry, and the philosophy of genuine hospitality and putting my clients first became my guiding light. I advise my clients like I would my family: with integrity, professionalism and true expertise. I love the industry and will happily talk real estate to everyone and anyone - please pick my brain!
In my spare time, I enjoy hiking with my dogs, playing tennis, skiing or dining at all the amazing Boulder restaurants. I love experiencing all that our city has to offer.

Marcia went way above the call of duty to ensure our sale went through. We had a tricky sale since the property had a lease tied to it. Marcia stood the course through that and other challenges. I was impressed by her patience and calm demeanor. Thank you Marcia!Jim C.
What can I say? I've bought and sold through her and the level of service, knowledge, advice, being either the seller or buyer advocate, emotional IQ to know just how to serve me, she's set a standard I don't ever expect another realtor to match. And she's funny.Johnathan L.
I can't imagine a better realtor than Marcia Cotlar. Not only does she know the Boulder market like the back of her hand, but she works incredibly hard to help her clients achieve their goals. Marcia is by far the best realtor with whom we have ever worked!
Sold a single family home in 2021 in North Boulder, Boulder, CO 80304.
Marcia is great to work with and knows her business. She treats people right and is very responsive. Her experience pays when making important decisions.

Bought a single family home in 2021 for approximately $1.900M in Central Boulder, Boulder, CO 80302.
Marcia was always quick to respond and set up house showings. She helped a ton with communication and negotiation, and then throughout the whole closing process. Overall it was great to work with her.

Bought and sold a single family home in 2020 for approximately $400K in Gunbarrel, Longmont, CO 80503.
Marcia helped us buy our current house and sell our old house during the quarantine period of COVID. She was able to foresee possible problems and ways to avoid them, knew the market inside and out, and overall, was extremely pleasant to work with. We were able to get a great price on our house. We highly recommend her for both buying or selling a house.

Sold a single family home in 2020 for approximately $625K in Louisville, CO 80027.
Marcia Cotlar did such a great job for us. She helped my elderly mom sell her home quickly and for a good price. She is well connected and helped me hire many good professionals to get my mom's house ready for sale. She went above and beyond by helping me (I live out of town) through the process (my first time selling a house). She is very genuine, caring and did her best to ensure the best outcome under difficult circumstances.

Sold a single family home in 2018 in North Boulder, Boulder, CO 80304.
My husband and I worked with Marcia Cotlar of 8z Real Estate in Boulder to sell our West Boulder home in February 2019. Marcia worked with us from July 2018 through February 2019, and was always calm, cheerful, relaxed, knowledgable, and professional. Always available to check in with us and quickly respond to my many (often frantic) questions, Marcia negotiated several offers for us, explaining the details clearly each time. The final sale structure was a bit unusual but Marcia made sure it was all completed thoroughly and without mystery. We got a terrific price for our home thanks to Marcia. She’s a great source for solutions to things that cropped up for us with handymen, inspection, and multiple open houses as well as staging, security for our unoccupied home, and even a weird event with a raccoon. Marcia knows our neighborhood well because she lives there and cares. We highly recommend her and her team.
