CA DRE# 01379785

Real estate has always been about more than buying and selling homes for me — it's about people, relationships, and helping families move confidently into their next chapter.

Since beginning my real estate career in 2003, I've had the privilege of guiding clients throughout Oakland, Piedmont, Berkeley, and the greater East Bay. My background in customer service and finance has shaped my approach: listen carefully, communicate clearly, and always put my clients' needs first.

As a longtime Oakland Hills resident, I bring both professional expertise and a personal connection to the communities I serve. Whether you're buying your first home, selling a longtime family property, or considering downsizing, I'm here to make the experience as smooth and rewarding as possible.

Ridgemont Neighborhood

Your Neighbor And Real Estate Expert

For over 20 years, Ridgemont has been more than just where I live—it’s where I’ve built friendships, watched families grow, and shared in the pride of our beautiful community. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of serving our neighborhood, as part of the HOA Board and now as a dedicated member of the Architectural Control Committee (ACC).

My commitment to Ridgemont goes beyond selling homes. I believe in protecting and enhancing the value of our properties, ensuring our streets, green spaces, and homes reflect the high standards we all cherish. As both a neighbor and a real estate professional, I understand what makes this community special—and I’m passionate about helping others appreciate it, too.

When you work with me, you’re not just getting a Real Estate Agent—you’re getting someone who has walked these streets for decades, knows every view and curve in the road, and is deeply invested in keeping Ridgemont a place we are all proud to call home.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I have both purchased and sold a home through Marlene. My husband and I would have been completely overloaded with stress if she hadn't kept us on track and walked us through both processes with ease. The Bay Area market was quite intimidating to us, and Marlene was very patient. She must have shown us more than thirty homes. We never felt rushed or as though we were inconveniencing her when we reached o...
