Thank you for helping us sell our home.  We are amazed at how quickly you responded to all our inquiries.  You managed everything with the utmost professionalism and always kept a happy demeanor.  You understood that we needed to sell our home in a very short time, 5 weeks. You worked quickly and diligently and we were in escrow in less than a week and on schedule to close on our new home in Indiana.

Marla sold our old home and helped us find a new one.  Very few homes sell in our neighborhood but Marla had a pricing model that got us top dollar within a week.  She guided us through every step of the process, anticipating the next step.  She was always prepared. 

She also worked diligently to find us the right home.  We are very happy in our choice to us Marla's services and will recommend her and use her again.

All of us on the Battiata Team would like to thank you for your professionalism and thoroughness throughout this entire transaction.  It has been a pleasure working with you and WE look forward to working with you in the future.

We wanted to take this opportunity to convey to you what an exceptional experience we had working with Marla Trussell on our recent purchase of a condo in Carlsbad. We are not from the San Diego area and Marla went out of her way to bridge the location gap between us. She was exceptionally organized when we came to look at properties allowing us to accomplish our purchase goal within the first visit. Throughout the purchase and escrow transaction, she continually guided and coached us through the various stages. Further, there were several occasions where she offered to go to the condo on our behalf. She was there to facilitate the inspections, the final walk through and met up with our new tenant to go through the keys, write up a key receipt and send us a set.

These are a few of the examples of how Marla deployed excellent service to us. We felt very fortunate to have had such a competent, dependable person representing us during this transaction. Given the distance, it could have been difficult, but Marla worked very hard to make it appear seamless.

Being a good real estate agent takes more than making a sale. It means understanding your client and operating with integrity on their behalf as if the transaction was for yourself. Marla always gave us that sense, giving us confidence in the advice and direction she provided. As a result, should we have any additional real estate needs in the San Diego area we will not hesitate to work wiht her again.

"We recently purchased a new home in San Elijo Hills, with Marla Trussell representing us.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank Marla for her help, professionalism and guidance through a difficult process for those of us from out of state.  Her services have been invaluable and I will certainly be happy to use and recommend her in the future"

I was selling an investment property for the first time. I knew that the transaction had very specific deadlines and if not met, would cost me thousands in taxes. Marla demonstrated an excellent understanding of 1031 exchanges and made sure that we identified the replacement properties correctly and timely. She helped me to understand how I could maximize my purchasing power in the exchange. Marla is a seasoned real estate professional. I trust her judgement and would recommend her to others seeking to buy or sell investment properties.
