"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!
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.

Marcia was delightful to work with. She was referred to us by some friends, and we couldn't have been happier with her. We were first-time home buyers, and Marcia went out of her way to explain things to us at each step of the process and to make sure that we were comfortable. She was careful to let us form our own opinions about properties, but was always willing to give advice when asked. She was responsive, attentive, and had a wide network of contacts that was invaluable when we were going under contract. You can't go wrong working with Marcia- she really is the best in the business!

It was fantastic working with Marcia. She helped me sell my home while I was living out of state, and she made it all so easy. She kept me completely informed at every stage of the process. She took care of all the details in a timely way. When obstacles arose, even at the last minute, she took care of them. Her advice on getting the home ready for sale and pricing was positively invaluable. I ended up with many offers and sold for 10% over the asking price. I wish I had another home to sell in Colorado so that I could work with Marcia again!

I highly recommend Marcia Cotlar as a fantastic realtor! She was extremely helpful in helping me narrow down the properties that met or exceeded my expectations, providing candid and honest feedback on the properties we toured, and ultimately finding my dream townhouse and first home! She was extremely responsive, available at all hours, and was always receptive to my many questions and requests. She found a number of properties in my search area and adjusting price range, and helped me narrow down on townhouses that would meet all of the requirements that are important to me. Once I found my place, she was very helpful in communicating with the seller and their representatives on a number of occasions to negotiate everything from the terms of the sale to the specifics of house-related questions. She referred me to an excellent lender, inspector, and even vendors for A/C, furnace, and other household maintenance necessities. I cannot recommend Marcia more highly! She is an extremely competent realtor, highly receptive and responsive to feedback, professional and personable, and served as my very knowledgeable advocate in the process of first-time home buying! Thanks Marcia!!

Marcia was absolutely incredible to work with after we had a pretty horrible experience. She was knowledgeable about the area but also came to the table with a strategy in order to buy our dream home. She was always responsive and reachable. It was such a pleasure working with her, and I would recommend Marcia to anyone looking to purchase home in this crazy CO market.

We recently used Marcia to help us sell our house and she was simply outstanding from the get-go. She gave us helpful advice on pricing and preparing the house for sale, hired a really good stager, ran an open house and on the offer date we had 3 offers. She worked with us on choosing an offer, and was extremely responsive on answering any questions that came up all the way through closing. Marcia was also a great go between if the buyers had any questions or concerns. The bottom line is that I would absolutely recommend her if you are selling or buying a house and looking for an agent.
