Marlene Reed

Marlene was fantastic to work with! She was incredibly helpful in finding the perfect house for us. She is the main reason we were able to close the deal on our first house in a competitive market. She is extremely responsive, competent, and professional. She knows the market and the Newport Coast area exceptionally well. Her advice was always spot on, and as a client you really feel like she has your best interest at heart. Even after the close of escrow, she has provided great references in the area for us to help get the home ready for the move-in. Its been an absolute pleasure working with her. We highly recommend Marlene to anyone who is looking to sell or buy a house.

Marlene's local knowledge was tremendous. She knew every house that was listed in Newport Coast and knew many that hadn't hit the MLS. She sold a house for me for more than I thought she could get and helped me buy another. Not enough superlatives to describe this agent. She continued to follow up well after the sale was final helping me find trades people for final touches. When I was sick, she brought me chicken noodle soup. Just an amazing agent and an amazing person.

We highly recommend Marlene Reed as a Real Estate Broker both on the buying and selling transaction of your home/property. She has an in depth knowledge of the Newport / Orange County market, high level of detail and great sense of maximizing value. She also brings a personal touch with home staging. She was able to sell our home within in a week of listing plus assisted us with the purchase of our new home. Most importantly we felt that Marlene truly cared and had our best interest at heart. We never felt this was just a business transaction. She was intricately involved throughout the entire process and has continued to follow up with us after moving into our new home. We have recommended Marlene to others and encourage anyone looking to buy/sell to schedule a meeting with Marlene. You won't be disappointed, she is top notch!

This is one of the finest RE agents that I have done business with. Marlene showed us a nice selection of houses, however when nothing appealed to us she really went to work and wrote letters to three different communities to did up house for us. She is tenacious and after procuring the dream house, she even went so far out of her job and helped with all of the contracting, meeting people everyday. We were out of town people moving to California from Chicago and SHE HANDLED IT ALL, unbelievable!

she was a professional from start to finish. never stopped helping us thru all step of the processshe listened my home to rent and showed it and found a tenant that was qualified.she always showed property no matter what time or day.took care of contract and all moving items needed by us.I highly recommend her to all!

Marlene Reed was a pleasure to work with! She is knowledgeable, organized, and dedicated. I had only a short time to find a home and she was able to help me navigate my options and make an informed decision quickly. I've bought and sold many homes - she is the best! I was especially impressed by her patience and calmness during our short escrow (less than 30 days).

Marlene made a stressful process as easy as it could get!. From putting the best face on our home, to advertising , showings and open houses, her optimism and positive attitude kept us on course to a speedy sale. She has contacts for every thing! Decorators, painters, electricians, gardeners, and contractors. I couldn't recommend anyone more professional or wonderful to work with!

Marlene is amazing! She helped us to find and purchase our first home and the experience could not have been better. Throughout the search I knew that we were in great hands and well taken care of. Marlene is knowledgeable, dedicated and her clients needs are her first priority. I would absolutely recommend her and we know who we will be going to when we sell and buy in the future! Thank you Marlene!!!

Marlene Reed was amazing to work with! Between my husband and I, we have bought and sold 5 homes and have never had an experience even come close to the positive one we had with Marlene. She was extremely professional from day 1 and worked so hard in both selling and helping us to purchase our new home. She went above and beyond any agent as far as her endless hours of working and efforts in a speedy sale to attending a court hearing on an auction, which she didn't need to be at, but was, to support us. In all the years dealing with ok to pretty good (and some not so good) agents, Marlene was beyond exceptional, and such a pleasure to work with. I felt very lucky to meet her and have this opportunity. I would highly recommend her to anyone selling or purchasing a home.

Marlene Reed is an expert in her industry and a woman of superb character. A rare find. She has a wealth of knowledge in her industry and is extremely well versed in even other supporting areas, areas that really matter when buying a family home. She went above and beyond, tirelessly working to help us find the perfect family home. She went above and beyond and gave more than we have experienced with other agents. She's our agent for life! Highly recommend.

She found the perfect property for us. The best part is that she personally monitor the purchase process from start to finish, including bring contractors to improve the value of the property. Marlene was able negotiate what we thought was a fair price. Over all she was perfect , we will use her again.

Selling a home can be overwhelming, however, Marlene made it effortless! She explained everything thoroughly. She listened and honored our expectations. She lined up all the necessary appointments and was able to be at the appointments if I was not. She was always there when I needed her! Professionally she was great! I also appreciated her personal special touches. We have a dog that she was so accommodating to while showing the house. After the sale of our house she was there to help us with the moving process and help us get situated in our new home. Her attention to detail was superb and I will definitely use her in the future for all our real estate needs and I would most definitely recommend her.

I have bought and sold seven houses in my lifetime and have never had such a seamless transaction. I can't say enough good things about the professional manner in which Marlene conducted herself. At the same time Marlene cared about our thoughts and feelings and not just thinking about making a sale. Would recommend her to everyone interested in buying or selling real estate!!!!!

Marlene's local knowledge was tremendous. She knew every house that was listed in Newport Coast and knew many that hadn't hit the MLS.

Just an amazing agent and an amazing person.

To simply put it, Marlene was amazing!!! She went above and beyond in every aspect of our home buying process. She made sure everything went as smooth as possible and was invaluable at making our process a success! She always returned my many phone calls, e-mails and texts promptly, answered all our questions and helped put our concerns at ease. We would have never made it through the process without her knowledge, expertise of the area, and her gracious efforts to make our dreams of owning a house come true! We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!

Amazing...Professional...PolishedWe hired Marlene as our Realtor for our relocation from Florida to Newport Beach. As a former Real Estate Broker, my expectations were very high...and WOW...she surpassed anything I could have imagined! From her market knowledge to her follow up to her negotiating skills...Marlene is a rare find! She truly delivered on her tagline of "redefining your real estate experience". She brings a new energy to an old industry! Very refreshing compared to the industry standard!

Marlene is Terrific!! She made the process of listing and selling my home easy and effortless. With her designer eye, she made my house look and feel beautiful and the result was a cash deal in 7 days!! She also worked hard to investigate and preview potential new homes. She gave me her honest opinion and was steadfast to find the perfect place for my daughter and I. She is always steps ahead in the process and a refreshing partner in this sometimes arduous and emotional process. I give Marlene my highest recommendation!!

One of the best agents I have ever worked with ~ Truly!Marlene is incredibly smart and very attuned to what we were really looking for in a home. She listened carefully and learned our family's needs quickly. We couldn't be happier!!! (She has great taste too) I highly recommend her! It was a great experience.

Marlene is very honest and true hard worker. It was actually a pleasant experience and I plan to use her in the future. I recommend her to everyone. Marlene sold 3 separate houses in the neighborhood and the others all felt the same way.
