Marisa Bauer × Murdock’s

Marisa Bauer is a top-producing real estate broker and owner of Platinum Partners Real Estate, serving Chico and the surrounding Butte County communities with over 22 years of industry experience. Originally from the Truckee–Lake Tahoe area and a graduate of San Diego State University with a degree in Business Management, she began her career in property management before launching into real estate in 2004 with Prudential's Bayhill Team in the San Francisco Bay Area, at the time the #1-producing team in Northern California, where she developed the systems and strategies she still relies on today.

Now the owner of one of Chico's leading boutique real estate firms, Marisa has closed more than 280 transactions spanning entry-level homes to luxury properties, representing millions in total sales volume. That range gives her a genuinely versatile perspective: she's as comfortable structuring a first-time buyer's financing as she is marketing a high-end listing, and her clients across that spectrum describe her as open, direct, and dependable in her communication.

As a broker-owner rather than solely an individual agent, Marisa also sets the tone for Platinum Partners Real Estate Team as a whole, one built on collaboration and consistent client outcomes since its founding in 2011. She has been a Chico resident since 2007 and speaks openly about how deeply rooted she is in the community, bringing local insight that goes beyond market data into an understanding of the neighborhoods and lifestyle that make Butte County distinct.

Whether guiding a seller through a competitive listing strategy or leading her team's approach to a complex transaction, Marisa Bauer combines two decades of leadership experience with hands-on involvement in every deal, which is exactly why both clients and agents within her own brokerage continue to seek her out.
