TESTIMONIALS

Bill & Susan G. – Contractor - Encinitas

Marla Zanelli worked with us to find the perfect house when we were relocating from MA. Although we had spent a lot of time in Southern CA we weren’t sure what area we wanted to settle in. Marla was an incredible resource. She spent days driving us all over to see different properties - an incredibly helpful way to understand the market, narrow down our preferences and keep us focused. She shared her great knowledge and experience with both inland and coastal real estate and helped us weigh pros and cons of different options. When we found our “Perfect House” she was a huge help in navigating the purchase and the complex CA paperwork – very different from what we had experienced in MA. And when we were moving in, she became a resource for everything we needed – from painting to furniture! We were lucky to find Marla for our real estate search and we highly recommend her. She is a great realtor and a very nice person. It was a real pleasure working with her. We have been in our house for a year now and are so very happy we settled here. It really is our perfect house!

Mike N.- Business Owner – Escondido

Marla was an exceptional partner to us during our buying process. She took the time to get to know us upfront and truly understood our wishes for our new home. She utilized her extensive knowledge of the market to help us find a home, negotiate a fantastic price based on relevant comps and she worked diligently through the entire process to close on time with no issues. She's even helping us post close as well! She is an exceptional communicator and moves very fast to execute quickly. There was not one question left unanswered during our process and we always felt she represented our best interest at all times. My wife and I consider it a privilege to recommend Marla for your real estate needs.

Dr Steven & Gunilla P. – Doctor - Rancho Santa Fe

Thank you Marla for selling our home in Rancho Santa Fe. You did a great job in dealing with our tenants who were heart- broken they could not buy the house. Your presentation of the home was excellent even though the home was in need of being remodeled. And when a problem showed up on the title, you helped that problem be fixed which allowed the property to be sold. Thank you again and we highly recommend your services!

We have now used Marla’s services on 3 different sales and she did a fantastic job! I would trust her with my life!

Bonnie M. – Teacher – Bonsall

Dearest Marla, thank you for selling both of my horse properties in Bonsall! It was sad for me to sell my horses but it was time. You helped clean up the home that needed paint and clean up. Your photos of the properties were exquisite! You were patient with the tenants as they moved out of the properties and brought many horse people to see the ranches until the right buyers came along. Thank you again Marla, you’re terrific!

Hugh & Juanita B. – Business Owner - Del Mar

We listed our home we had lived in for 33 years with Marla Zanelli, and while it’s difficult to prepare a home with that many years in it, Marla did an excellent job of working with us, guiding us as to what we needed to do, and did a great job of negotiating with the different buyers and handling the multiple offers we received. We recommend Marla highly as a very professional, very skilled and tenacious agent. We enjoyed working with her and would do it again. 

Tom & Jonnell S. – Attorney - Del Mar

I have been working with Marla for years purchasing and selling properties in Del Mar. She has been my real estate agent since 1990 and I have had excellent service, she is knowledgeable about property values, has always been honest with me, has always had my best interests in mind. You couldn’t ask for a better real estate agent. She knows Del Mar like the back of her hand. She has great success in negotiating sales as she demonstrated when she has sold property for me. I have always trusted Marla to do the right thing and I have learned to listen to what she says about values. She seems to be right on the mark when it comes to determining the property value. I believe you can’t go wrong with choosing Marla and the company she works for.
