WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

“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.”


Tom & Jonnell S. – Attorney - 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.  


Hugh & Juanita B. – Business Owner - Del Mar

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!
