Marla Hovland

As a 4th generation San Diegan, I chose the real estate profession as a result of my love for the city. Despite experiencing what some call the Global Recession, more than a decade later my passion for the industry is unwavering. I consider myself a purveyor of the American Dream. I believe with a little planning and a lot of perseverance home ownership is not only attainable but still the right of every American.

In 2006, I was proud to participate in the renaissance of Downtown San Diego. Working with urban in-fill developers, I have sold nearly 300 units in East Village, Cortez Hill, Little Italy and Mission Hills. In-depth market research, project positioning, strategic buyer qualification, product development, and design coordination are part of an unparalleled skill set I acquired while working in new construction. I was the first recipient of the Building Industry of America’s Greatest Award for Urban Leadership, an honor for which I was nominated by my peers.

Described by my clients as “a high-energy professional with remarkable attention to detail and a drive for results”, I pride myself on communication and accessibility. I am focused on delivering quality of service, integrity and trust. I recognize buying or selling a home is an intimate milestone and I remain committed to crafting a personalized experience for each client.
