We bought a vacation home with Marlene a few years ago and when a house came on the market that was too good to pass up, we knew we had to talk to Marlene. Her knowledge of the neighborhood and the market is amazing. Plus, she is incredibly patient and never made us feel rushed, always taking the time to answer our questions. She is also very responsive-any time we needed her, she was there. There were a few times that the seller’s agent offered opinions or tried to negotiate without even consulting with the seller and Marlene handled all of it with grace, always thinking of our best interest. Thank you, Marlene!

Marlene has a vast knowledge of the Ocean Pines real estate market. She advertised the home on various platforms & ran ads in the papers & in event publications such as the Ocean City boat show to get the word out. She followed through with the different aspects of the sale of the home going under contract from the initial inspection and everything leading up to the closing. She is certainly someone to trust with all of her experience when looking to buy or sell, especially in the Ocean Pines area.

Marlene is very knowledgeable and very professional! She has earned her fantastic reputation through many years of experience working as a realtor in Ocean Pines. Marlene offered great advice and communicated with us very well throughout the process. She makes herself available to answer any questions and will respond by phone, text or email in a very timely manner. Marlene clearly loves working as a realtor and she is highly respected by everyone in the community. In short, our experience working with Marlene was wonderful! We highly recommend her!

I enjoyed working with Marlene and felt we made a great team in selling the beach house in Ocean Pines. My father can be quite complicated at times, but Marlene kept her cool and understood the challenges with my dad, a big pain in the a** but still continued assisting him to get any job done. I would recommend Marlene Ott in both selling and buying a home. She is awesome! I wish her and her colleagues the best!

This is our 3rd purchase in Ocean Pines with Marlene and I wouldn't have it any other way. Marlene's knowledge of the Pines is unequaled. This was the most difficult purchase for us as the seller was unresponsive to the selling agent for which Marlene tenacity was on display and drove this deal to the finish line! Kudos to Marlene! We are grateful to have found her 8 years ago.

Marlene sold two Ocean Pines properties for me this year. Her long term experience in Ocean Pines is incredibly valuable. She knows the market, and provided insightful information on how to best price my property. Her local knowledge was also valuable in how to best respond to offers as they came in. She has a strong sense for the seasonality and timing of the Ocean Pines real estate market. Marlene provided good coaching and advice on many topics through the process, that led to getting a string price and completing the sale. I highly recommend Marlene Ott.

Marlene was our agent for several property purchases and sales. She is very knowledgeable about the area. Her communication during the process was great. She is a very nice person too, and ethical.

Marlene was a great partner in selling our home. She communicated clearly, stayed on top of every detail, and her local knowledge made the process smooth. Pricing took some collaboration, but she was open to discussion and helped us land in the right place. We truly appreciated her professionalism and responsiveness, and we’d happily recommend her.

The last 6 months has been very tough for my family. We lost my sister-in-law and my husband was very sick. However, through it all Marlene had my back. She helped my get me sister-in-law's house ready to sell and was very patient while I cleaned out 94 years of stuff from the house. Once we were able to put it on the market Marlene made sure it was being showed and worked with the people who were interested in buying it. Once we got a buyer who was really interested in buying the house she worked with me and the buyer's agent to bring it to closure. Without a doubt I would recommend Marlene to anyone. She is a great communicator, her knowledge of the market is outstanding, and she is extremely professional.

Marlene's experience was key in helping us sell our house in less than 30 days. She provided excellent perspective on how to best prepare and stage our home for sale. We received an offer in less than a week, and closed 20 days later. Marlene has been selling Ocean Pines property for over 40 years. She gives good advice on how to price the house properly for the market conditions and the best timing to put it on the market to get noticed. She was very responsive when we had questions during the sales process, and got back to us quickly. I highly recommend Marlene Ott.

Marlene did an outstanding job and sold our home in record time. We would recommend her service to anyone who wants to relax and put their home sale in her hands.

As a settlement attorney, I have observed Marlene's expertise and experience in real estate transactions as a buyer's and seller's agent for over 40 years. This was the first time she had been my agent in a purchase and she made our buying experience easy and painless. I had expected no less, but she actually exceeded my expectations. No wonder she is considered the best in the business !!
