Krista Marnella

REALTOR, Broker
REALTOR (B)
License Number: 329272

 

I am a dedicated and enthusiastic real estate broker committed to providing exceptional service to my clients. I bring a fresh perspective, a strong work ethic and have a passion for helping people find their perfect home.

With a background in sales, I have developed excellent communication and negotiation skills that are crucial in all real estate transactions. My ability to understand my clients’ needs sets me apart in this competitive real estate market.

With experience in the new construction sector, I have worked closely with builders, architects and contractors. This experience has given me a comprehensive understanding of the construction process, from initial design to final walkthrough. My expertise in this area allows me to effectively guide clients who are interested in purchasing newly built homes or custom-built properties.

My approach to real estate is centered on building long lasting relationships based on trust and transparency. I understand that buying or selling a home is a significant milestone and I am dedicated to guiding my clients through every step of the process with care and professionalism.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring local neighborhoods and new hot spots around town, spending time with family and friends, gardening and working on home improvement projects.  I am an animal lover so if you see me out and about you will likely see my mini golden doodle, Harlow, tagging along. I have a strong appreciation for our beautiful, coastal community!

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, looking to sell your property or interested in new construction,  I am ready to assist you with enthusiasm and dedication. Contact me today to start your real estate journey with a broker who truly cares about your success.

Shannan Thompson recommends Krista Marnella

Krista Marnella helped us acquire our forever home, along with adjoining vacant land that wasn’t even for sale. She’s knowledgeable, quick to respond, and remained engaged all the way through closing. She made the entire process simple and enjoyable. We’ve bought and sold multiple properties before meeting Krista, so we’re able to recognize and appreciate her experience and professionalism.
