A graduate of UC Santa Barbara, Marlene Hassel’s real estate background dates back to 1988. Since then, she has consistently been recognized as one of the highest-performing agents in the coastal Orange County area.
As a Southern California native and Newport Beach homeowner, she has an intimate understanding of local neighborhoods and all price ranges. Working throughout Newport Beach, Corona Del Mar, Laguna Beach, and Costa Mesa, Marlene is especially renowned for her leadership in the Newport Heights and Cliff Haven communities, where she has sold nearly 200 homes and represented hundreds of buyers and sellers within these desirable enclaves.
With a background in marketing and advertising, Marlene is well-equipped to seek out the most advanced methods in effective property exposure. She has a keen ability to identify the full potential of a property, as proven in her success as an investor who has remodeled and built many homes.
Marlene applies decades of in-market knowledge and expertise, and renowned negotiating skills, to ensure that her clients achieve the most positive financial outcomes. These distinct market advantages – coupled with her tireless work ethic and meticulous attention to detail – have earned her an impressive roster of repeat, referral, and multi-generational clients.
In her own words, Marlene says “being a realtor is more than just a profession to me - it’s a passion. If my clients aren’t happy, I’m not happy.”
