"Marti and Maxine Gellens are so great to work with. We have worked with them over the years with multiple homes and have never been disappointed. They make us feel as though we are their only clients because of their quick response to any questions we may have. They epitomize professionalism in a very personal way."

"Excellent, personalized service with effective marketing. Staff are a pleasure to work with."

"We sold multiple properties through Maxine & Marti in the Del Mar area and are happy we did! Marti knows the area well and was stellar for all listing and sale matters from start to finish."

"Maxine, Marti and their group form a very efficient, very powerful team. Their goal is to get you the most direct, fastest and best way to achieve the purchase or sale of your property to your maximum satisfaction. I recently put my house for sale with them. Less than a week later, we had three offers, one of them full price. I had a glitch (my fault) just before the close of escrow that could have compromised the whole transaction. Maxine immediately chose the right person to handle it. The issue was resolved within a few hours. I highly recommend them. I will not hesitate to use them for any of my future real estate needs."

"I can't speak highly enough about our experience working with Marti Gellens and her team! From the moment we started our home search, they were incredibly responsive and attentive to our needs.

What truly set Marti Gellens and her team apart was their remarkable efficiency and effectiveness in getting things done. They wasted no time in scheduling viewings, negotiating offers, and ensuring that all necessary paperwork was completed promptly. Thanks to their proactive approach and attention to detail, we were able to find and close on our dream home in record time! Not only is Marti Gellens a consummate professional, but she also genuinely cares about her client's satisfaction and well-being.

"I have to tell you – after purchasing over 16 properties in my life– the absolutely, hands-down, most friction free and efficient, not to mention profitable RE transactions I’ve ever experienced have been through Maxine and Marty Gellens. I will never use another real estate professional again and it’s not just because of the mechanics of it all – it’s because of the relationship and attention to detail that is their hallmark. I cannot tell you how many times there’s been a crazy sense of urgency – mostly made up by me – where Marti has picked up the phone at 10 PM or 6 AM or in the middle of a family lunch to take care of my concerns. And as an anecdotal as that example may be, those are exactly the times that matter – whether you’re on the seller side or the buyer side. I am so hands-down serious about my endorsement that I want to encourage you to Do something I’ve never even considered – please feel free to call me or text me directly if you want to hear more about my experiences because I cannot give a higher recommendation to this company And their tireless group of professionals -Marti and Maxine in particular. THIS IS IN NO WAY A PAID ENDORSEMENT! “Sully” Sullivan KUSI Television Business Editor KOGO Radio Business Editor Host of the nationally televised “The Big Biz Show” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Simply unparalleled, incomparable professionalism. THESE ARE THE FINEST REALTORS WITH WHOM I HAVE EVER DEALT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM."

"Maxine is unstoppable & knows her business inside & out. Maxine was our agent recently for the purchase of our La Jolla home during this crazy pandemic related home-shortage during late 2020 and 2021. She was tireless and always responsive on several home-offers we made. Over many months she continued with major persistence to ultimately find & follow-through on a million details to buy our forever home in La Jolla. She connected us to her invaluable contacts for tax questions, loan approvals and many other home services. Her knowledge goes far beyond real estate with a deep understanding of all the related people and services needed for success no matter what the challenge. She also helped us sell our previous La Jolla home many years ago. All her team members are exceptional including Jessica Freeman and Mike Nelson who spent countless hours in the purchase process. Maxine and her daughter Marti are lovely to work with and I would recommend them for listing and buying, they are an incredible team!"

"It was a pleasure to have Marti and Maxine Gellens managing the sale of our family home in La Jolla. We were immediately impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail that the Gellens presented to us. Our family home needed a lot of work and the Gellens team was terrific at connecting us with resources to help prepare the home for sale. We all developed a great relationship which made everything about the sale and closing run smoothly during developing uncertainty in the market. Thanks Marti and Maxine for wonderful experience."

"Selling the home you grew up in can be stressful. Maxine and Marti Gellens and the entire team we so great to work with. They were patient and understanding, then responsive and proactive once we got the house listed. I was really impressed with Marti's negotiation skills and how she managed multiple offers in a short time frame to get the best price. I now live out of state and we were able to handle all paperwork and signatures seamlessly. I was even out of the country the entire week before the deal closed, and escrow moved along very smoothly. This is a very knowledgeable and professional team, and I highly recommend them to sell any property in San Diego."

"If you are looking for real estate in California you have to be careful and not settle for just any realtor. Real Estate is a big investment and you should be e extremely picky about the people you deal with. Maxine and Marti's group are exceptional people with an amazing amount of knowledge about the area and how to buy and sell a home. They are also real people who are honest and hardworking, we are so glad we found them because there are agents out there who are just looking for a fast buck and ignore important details. Just because someone has a real estate license does not mean they are a good realtor. Demand a real estate professional like Marti Gellens!"

"This agency is simply superb. Marti guided us through what is always a difficult process, but in our case was more so, with the caring and energy that are generally reserved for close friends and family. When we hit bumps in the road, which were no fault of theirs, they became impassioned advocates. We felt we could ask for anything...and often did...and the responses were always virtually immediate and invariably helpful. We feel extraordinarily lucky to have had the opportunity to work them."

"Maxine and Marti know this market and have been representing buyers and sellers long enough to know how to do it with grace. I was completely at ease during the stressful home sale process, knowing I was represented by the very best. My home sold before listing and I'm delighted with the sale price."

"great knowledge. very creative. wonderful exposure and advertising. they were extremely clear in explaining the process as we went through it, even through the "bumps" along the way."
