Marlin fell in love with Sarasota's warm climate and moved here in 2006 to escape the cold Ohio winters. That move was one of the best decisions he ever made. In Sarasota, he found a home of over 14 years, his wife, and, eventually, real estate. After receiving his real estate license in October of 2017, he has cultivated a diverse portfolio, ranging anywhere from quarter-acre lots and 1,000 square foot condos to commercial apartment buildings and multi-million-dollar homes. As one's home is typically the largest asset in their personal net worth, he considers it an extreme honor to be trusted to help his clients navigate the complex process of such a large transaction.
His success can be contributed to three attributes: his honest and straight-forward communication at every stage in the home buying or selling process, his relentless work ethic, and his proven effectiveness in negotiating deals. Marlin sees himself not as someone simply looking for the next transaction, but as someone who is ready to go to work for his clients to discover the best options in the Sarasota area to fit each of his clients' individual needs. His advice to all his clients is, "If you don't love it, don't buy it. My commitment to you is, and always will be, to search until we find the one you love."
In 2020, Marlin finished in the top 1% in sales volume for agents in Sarasota county and has been awarded the Luxury Marketing Home Specialist and Million Dollar Guild designation.
Marlin is the owner of an equally energetic and enthusiastic boxer and loves to tussle and go running with her. He also enjoys playing sports in his free time, which includes tennis with his wife and softball in a community church league.
