Get to know Marlene

Marlene Simas | CA DRE #01379785

With over 20 years of experience in the Bay Area real estate market, I have had the privilege of representing buyers and sellers across Oakland, Piedmont, Berkeley, and the surrounding cities of Alameda and Contra Costa counties. My real estate journey began in 2003, but my foundation in customer service, time management, and problem-solving was built long before—as a customer service manager in the financial sector. These skills, combined with my deep passion for helping others, have shaped me into a trusted and results-driven real estate professional.

"Marlene was spectacular. She took charge from day one. She recommended things we needed to do for the property, had the crew to accomplish the jobs and then sold over asking in like ten days. She was always there to answer questions and usher us through this pressured filled event. She was ALWAYS, there, pleasant, organized, and professional. The best!!!"

"Marlene is a superb ally to buy a home. She guided us very efficiently and with great knowledge during our home buying process, making it really simple to understand, plan, and execute. She stayed always up to date with any request or question we had and she was always prompt to offer great advice and recommendations. She managed all communications with the seller's agent with the utmost diligence and care. We would gladly recommend her services if you are looking for high quality representation buying your next home in the East Bay"
