"My husband and I met Marla the first time when we went to an open house she was hosting. Our first impression of Marla, we knew right away that she was professional and knowledgeable in her field along with her ability to make you feel comfortable. From that point on, Marla not only became our agent but our friend. With her professional expertise, she made this sometime stressful process of buying a home, so smooth and less stressful. Her caring and kind personality puts you at ease through the whole process. We highly recommend Marla if you are in the market for buying a home. Thank you Marla from the bottom of our hearts for all your hard work!"

"I met Marla in 2014 when I moved from Temecula to Carlsbad. When I finally got serious about looking for a home in North County - and after a few high-pressure sales tactics from other realtors in the area - Marla was the first person I called to help me with my home purchase. Once we found the perfect home, Marla had the offer together and financing started in less than two hours. From offer to close - she was smart, responsive, and attentive - never once leaving me to question or wonder what was happening next. If you are in the market for a home and are looking for a consummate professional who will listen and not just make the sale - Marla and The Arendsen Group will go above and beyond!"
