I take time to build trust, listen, ask questions, and put my client's needs first. I believe providing service with integrity, enthusiasm, and honesty is the only way to do it right. I've lived in the Fredericksburg region my entire life so I really understand and love this area! When I am not busy working, I spend quality time with my family and three dogs. I enjoy volunteer work, being outdoors, and playing tennis. I pride myself on my attention to detail, and the desire to pinpoint your needs, and translate those needs into buying your next home or selling your present one. I believe in providing a relaxing and enjoyable experience by supplying a wealth of information and support. I work hard to provide my clients with sound peace of mind knowing they have a REALTOR® working on their behalf who is truly dedicated to getting them where they want to be. ##### Ask Marla *Favorite song?* **Marla: "You're Just Too Good to Be True" (Wedding Song)** --- *Pets?* **Marla: YES!
