When asked about the longevity of her success, Marla was recently quoted in Chicago Agent Magazine “My success has not been by accident or good fortune. I am a tireless worker who measures success not in dollars earned, but rather in respect from my clients and colleagues. It is essential for me to know that my clients are happy and that home buying or selling can actually be a pleasant experience. I understand that a person’s home is one of their most prized possessions and I feel fortunate to be able to represent that concept to buyers and sellers alike. I love my profession and feel quite fortunate to have found what I consider to be my niche in life”.
