About Marvin

Aloha! I’m a REALTOR® and Managing Broker with John L. Scott Real Estate in Puyallup, Washington, serving buyers and sellers in Puyallup and the surrounding areas around Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Since becoming licensed in Hawaii in 2005, and moving to Washington in 2014, I’ve helped clients across Puyallup, Graham, Tacoma, University Place, Bonney Lake, Yelm, Lacey, Olympia, and the greater JBLM corridor navigate moves in all kinds of markets.

As a seasoned buyer and seller representative, and a Military Relocation Professional (MRP), I specialize in working with buyers, sellers, first-time homeowners, investors, luxury clients, and those navigating relocation, new construction, land, and distressed properties. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, building new, selling a long-time residence, or adding to an investment portfolio, my goal is to negotiate strongly on your behalf while keeping you informed every step of the way.

I’m especially passionate about serving military members, veterans, and their families because I too am one of them. I started my real estate career in 2005 and joined the Hawaii Air National Guard in 2006. In 2014, I transferred to the Washington Air National Guard, where I still serve today. Doing real estate and serving alongside fellow service members has been a constant in my life, and I truly love helping those who serve.

Clients often choose to work with me for three reasons: clear, responsive communication; strong, steady negotiation; and a calm, mission-focused approach to every transaction. I take a client-first, low-pressure approach, listening carefully to your goals, walking you through the process step-by-step, and providing honest guidance grounded in data and real market conditions. My aim is to make one of your biggest financial decisions feel organized, manageable, and aligned with your long-term plans.

Over the years, I’ve been honored to receive multiple John L. Scott President’s Awards, recognition as a top producer, and acknowledgment as a veteran-owned business. Just as important to me is giving back: I stay involved with military organizations and Pacific Islander cultural groups, continuing the values of service and community that shaped me.

My roots are in the islands. I’m from Palau, was born and raised on Guam, attended the University of Hawai‘i, and spent 14 years living in Hawai‘i before moving to Washington in 2014. My island background influences the way I work; respectful, relationship-focused, and grounded in taking care of people. When I’m not working with clients or serving in uniform, you’ll often find me spending time with my wife and 6 kids, staying active, traveling, cooking and exploring new food spots, supporting cultural events, or tackling home improvement projects.

If you’re considering a move to Puyallup, Tacoma, or the area around JBLM, or you’re PCS’ing in or out, upsizing, downsizing, or investing, I’d be honored to be a resource for you. Reach out anytime. I’m here to help!
