"Marlene was extremely responsive and willing to meet us at crazy hours based on our hectic schedules. She was very mindful of our buying limitations, needs, and wants. She helped us understand the buying process and market and we've now purchased a better property than we'd thought possible. We would absolutely recommend her to friends and family."
"Marlene is very thorough and an excellent agent. She knows the whole process forward and back. Her experience shows. She knows the market and how to get things done."
"I give Marlene a A+ rating. She responded very quickly and was always there to answer any questions I had. This was my first purchase of a home and it was a pleasure to work with her. If anyone is looking for a home I would highly recommend her. Buying a home is a big Investment so you need the right real estate agent and Marlene was a God send."
"Marlene has been a great agent to work with! I have used her to sell 2 homes and buy 2 homes over a period of 10+ years. I would/have recommended her to anyone I know that is in the market to buy, sell or rent. I feel she is always eger to help when ever called upon!"
"Marlene was wonderful from the beginning, when we had our first meeting, all the way through the sale and closing of our home. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable and was always helpful with any question that came up. I would recommend her to anyone I know of who is thinking of selling their home."
