About Marlene Castagna -
The reason for my success is simple. With over 18 years of serving the Far Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, I excel in aiding you to make the best possible move. Consistently selling in Cary, Fox River Grove, Algonquin, Crystal Lake, Lake in the Hills, and the surrounding area, I keep current on both property values and negotiation tactics, while gaining a wealth of information on each individual community. My goal is for my clients to make solid investments and benefit on the appreciation of their homes over time.
Sellers will receive current information on their areas and superior internet marketing results. Buyers will find the perfect house with all the right amenities for your family. Buying and selling a home is not only a financial, but an emotional decision, and I facilitate on both fronts. I meet my client's requirements, accommodating prime locations, pleasant commutes, top selection of schools, and close proximity to conveniences. Over the years, I’ve relocated many families from diverse backgrounds, both locally and from across the U.S., and every year my business continues to grow.
Saving time and money in the complex, multifaceted process of purchasing a home generates the customers that are the foundation of my business. Whether you are relocating, selling, or buying, put my experience and expertise to work and make your best move yet!

"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."
"Marlene traveled a lot but was able to maintain fulfilling all of her professional responsibilities except for showing property. This seemed to be proof that she was able to aptly handle any situations well that could arise."
