About Teresa

I have been very lucky to call Santa Cruz County home since 1979! I know the distinctive flavors of the neighborhoods that make up our beautiful community, and all the best that life here on the Monterey Bay has to offer. Because I have owned and invested in residential real estate, I understand how it feels to be a buyer, seller, and investor. I was 25 when I purchased my first investment property, remodeling and then selling it at a profit within 6 months. The bulk of my professional experience prior to becoming a full time licensed real estate agent was in marketing and sales. I co-owned a real estate communications and marketing company long before I embarked on applying my specialized skillset to help buyers and sellers achieve their personal and financial goals. My connection to people has always been a top priority; I am a natural networker, and I simply love bringing people together, both professionally and personally. I have a high level of integrity, honesty, and openness, and I bring those qualities to every relationship I develop, whether with clients, business associates, trade people, friends, or the community at large. I enjoy contributing to our community with my time, talents, and treasure, for the Special Parents Information Network, Women Care, Diversity Center, and the Santa Cruz AIDS Project to name a few. It makes my heart sing to give. I volunteer where I can to benefit our area. I have a passion for real estate and enjoy sharing my knowledge, experience, and local connections with others. If you are looking to purchase, sell, flip, 1031 exchange, or need help to avoid a foreclosure or capital gains, it would be an honor to assist you. Sincerely, Teresa Marlow REALTOR®, CFSP™ DRE# 01733164 Always with your best interest at heart!

Teresa Marlow, agent extraordinaire, simply the best

Teresa Marlow, agent extraordinaire, simply the best

Teresa Marlow is an excellent agent. She is knowledgeable, thorough, with great communication skills, and has very high standards for herself and for all of the contacts that she has that move a project along from start to finish. She works tirelessly to ensure that her client is involved with all of the decision making of the process and is aware of and shares all the pertinent information needed to make informed decisions. Teresa is personable, friendly, and appreciative of all the people she works with and she dedicates an enormous amount of time and energy to make sure that her clients are happy with the final outcome. I am very impressed with her integrity, persistence, attention to detail, and work ethic. I enthusiastically recommend her to anyone needing to sell or buy a home. She helped me to sell my home and she will be my agent again as I search for a new place to live.

Above and Beyond With Compassion

Above and Beyond With Compassion

Teresa Marlow is not your ordinary real estate agent, and we wanted to take a moment to share our experience. We were referred to Teresa when we found ourselves facing the difficult task of cleaning out and selling our aging parents’ home while living out of state. What could have been an overwhelming and emotional process became so much more manageable because of Teresa. She always made time for us, kept us informed, and went above and beyond to arrange and coordinate the services needed to get the home ready to sell. From helping us navigate the unexpected details to connecting us with reliable people who could get the job done, Teresa was there every step of the way. What stood out most was that she made us feel like family. She treated our situation with genuine care, compassion, and understanding—not simply as another real estate transaction. Teresa made a very difficult situation feel seamless, and we will always be grateful for everything she did for our family. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who truly cares about her clients and is willing to go the extra mile, we cannot recommend Teresa highly enough.

Very experiencedshe is there for you when needed..

Teresa was amazing at making me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire home-buying process, walking me through every step along the way. This was my first time buying a home. She made sure I knew what I was getting myself into as well as walking a step-by-step through every inspection explaining things I did not understand. She is friendly and kind and I would definitely use her services again.

Teresa achieved the impossible!

Teresa achieved the impossible!

I lived in my home for 44 years and it was quite the feat to clear and ready for sale. Added to the burden was the need to sell before a specific date. Teresa took charge of aiding me in hiring skilled contractors who expertly and timely made all necessary repairs, all with a professional demeanor. Teresa kept me apprised of every step of the process, and responded to my questions within the day. Nothing seemed too tough to handle and her optimism carried me throughout this difficult period of my life. My house sold within three weeks of listing, rare in this current market. I am ever so thankful for everything Teresa and her capable staff did for me.
