Helping Buyers Find Their Perfect Place in Loudoun County

Marianne Bowen

I’m Marianne Bowen, a licensed Realtor with Long &amp; Foster in One Loudoun, proudly serving Loudoun County and the Blue Ridge region. After a rewarding career in Federal Government IT, including my time at Voice of America, I transitioned into real estate to combine my professional skills with my passion for community connection. As a buyers’ agent, I specialize in guiding clients through every step of the home‑buying process. From first‑time buyers to families relocating—especially newcomers from Germany—I make complex mortgage and legal details easy to understand, ensuring the experience is clear, approachable, and stress‑free. Beyond real estate, I’m deeply involved in animal rescue, supporting organizations like A Forever Home Rescue. My blend of professionalism, warmth, and advocacy makes me not just a Realtor, but a trusted neighbor ready to help you find the perfect place to call home.

At Dogtopia, we believe your pup deserves the absolute best in care, safety, and play. Whether you’re dropping off for a few hours of play, an overnight stay, or a relaxing spa treatment, Dogtopia is your dog’s home away from home.

As pet parents ourselves, we know safety and transparency matter. That’s why every Dogtopia location is equipped with webcams, allowing you to check in on your pup throughout the day. Our facilities are sanitized with pet-safe cleaning products, and our staff is trained in canine behavior, first aid, and safety protocols.
