Raving Reviews

Working with Marla has been a wonderful experience! We marketed our condo while it was occupied with problematic tenants. Marla was thrown into a difficult situation and handled it better than we could have imagined. We also had a few offers from buyers that we turned down. Marla understood and kept showing our property. After accepting an offer, everything proceeded smoothly!

"Where to begin?  I discovered Marla through a quirk of a Google search for a property in St. Petersburg.  My husband Michael and I live in Boston but spent the winter of 2020-21 on Treasure Island and loved the area.  From our first Zoom call, Marla became my partner in our home journey.  Her background in construction was invaluable as we considered how much renovation we wanted to take on.  Marla patiently worked with us over a period of 5 months to identify house styles and neighborhoods.  Finally, we found a great house on Eden Isle.  Marla went to see it within a couple of hours, did a video call, and helped us make an offer the same day.  Because we trusted Marla so completely, we did all of this sight unseen.  When we came down the next week to see the house, we were not disappointed as Marla knew exactly what we wanted.  This house pretty much met all of our "wants" which is hard to manage in a very competitive market.  We can't say enough things about working with Marla."

Marla is incredibly reliable, knowledgeable, and accommodating. She went above and beyond every step of the way through our real estate transaction. This was our first purchase outside of our home state of New Hampshire, and Marla made weekend time available in her schedule around our travel plans to show us a number of properties on several occasions.  She also viewed properties and performed walk-throughs on our behalf when we weren’t able to be present. Marla was extremely responsive to our inquiries and quickly put any potential concerns at ease with her kindness and positive outlook.  Even in this incredibly hot market we closed on our condo in Clearwater in a month’s time.  Not only would we hire Marla again without hesitation, but we are privileged to call her a new friend as well!

I am extremely grateful for Marla's help in finding what I was looking for. I live in New Jersey and I was looking to buy an investment property in the St. Petersburg area. In videotaping the property, negotiating the price, and in effectively communicating with the seller, I was able to buy the property with ease. I highly recommend Marla for you next real estate transaction.

We recently found ourselves in a position where we needed to buy a house and quick! Thank goodness for Marla Hudson’s professionalism and determination. With the housing market currently on fire in St. Petersburg, not only was Marla able to find the home of our dreams within the area we were searching but was able to get us closed in less than 30 days. Marla was there for everything I needed: the appraisal, the inspection, the second appraisal and the repairs needed to close but she was also my witness when it came to signing the closing papers. I highly recommend Marla to anyone that values professionalism with a personal touch!

"We have been very pleased with Marla as our Realtor here in St. Pete/Gulfport.  Very easy to work with and always follows up on any questions we may have.  She responds quickly when you call or text.  She goes out of her way to make sure all the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed.  She has sold us properties and also sold properties for us in a timely manner.  She is also an agent for our daughter and she has been more than pleased with Marla."

Thank you very much for your excellent customer service as my agent. You went above and beyond anything I could ask for. You worked non-stop to assist me. What really made a difference for me is while I was sick, you continued to work when I couldn’t. You made sure we stayed on schedule to get the house I wanted and met every item I had on my list and more! I have told all my friends any family about how AWESOME you are!  I will be forever grateful for your kindness and professionalism. I pray that you are blessed as you have been a blessing!

Thank you for being so professional, caring in helping me and my sister Elizabeth and friend of our family Mary S. in selling my Great Uncle Frank's home in Floral City, FL..  You have truly gone above and beyond in all you have done in helping us.  You were always fair, positive and willing to do whatever needed to be done.  You would drive 1 1/2 hours each way numerous times to Mary's home in Floral City  to have her sign any documents, due to the fact she didn't own a computer or a cell phone.  You also made the trip several times to pass out flyers or be there for inspections, etc.  You were always so accommodating and pleasant.  I have worked with a real estate agent before in Inverness, Florida and your work ethic and pleasant, professional attitude outshined my prior experience.  I truly trust you and know from working with you that you are an honest, hard working and super caring realtor and person who anyone would be blessed to work with.  I wish I had known about you before: because you truly were there every single step of the way helping and answering any questions or concerns we had.  I would highly recommend you to anyone needing a realtor in the areas you serve in Florida.  If you ever need a reference, I will be more than happy to share my positive and happy experience working with you!  God Bless you always!

Marla Hudson sold my parents home. She did a great job advertising and showing their home.  She was very professional and energetic, always right there if we needed to get in touch with her.  Thank you for doing such an excellent job!

Marla was exceptional in  her knowledge of neighborhoods along with her response time to my requests to see properties. She provided specifics on things to check for such as the age of a water heater, AC etc. When it came to the offer stage, she advised on what would be a good offer. Each step of the way she was available for questions and details. The whole process was seamless from beginning to end. I would recommend Marla without question.

I had been looking for a condo or townhouse in Clearwater /St. Pete area for the past 2 years. I spoke with many agents but no real feedback or interest possibly because I live in Tennessee, until I spoke with Marla. She sent me new listings daily. When I was headed to meet her I realized after HOA fees and mortgage, I might as well buy house. Realizing I would have to go further north to find something affordable, we started looking in New Port Richey. When Marla came to pick us up at the hotel, she was set up to see 5 houses but none we wanted to make offer on. That night we drove around and saw a few houses we wanted to look at before we headed back to Tennessee. Even though it was late Saturday night, Marla had arranged for us to see these houses and picked us up early Sunday morning. We put an offer in and Marla got the ball rolling that day. Marla was amazing!  Everything was taken care of electronically from start to finish. Inspection  showed needed new roof.  She followed up with roofer and went to the house to see how it was going even sent us a picture. I don't think I  would be in this house today if not for Marla.  She was my eyes and ears and l trusted  every decision made. I would recommend her highly to anyone looking to move this way.   She went above and beyond and I know I have a friend  in Florida.

Marla has been so professional, pleasant and helpful throughout my entire home buying journey.  I can't thank her enough. I knew when I first spoke with Marla that she was on my team.  She did exceptional at everything!  I highly recommend her to everyone on the market!

Thank you Marla for your assistance in the purchase of my property in south Tampa.  Real estate is a business in which you must be responsive to customer inquiry and act immediately when a potential property is identified. 

I contacted Marla and immediately was able to move on a property that was of interest.  Subsequently I was able to negotiate a deal that I was very pleased with and appreciate the assistance Marla provided during the entire process.  

Thank you so much and all the best.

My husband and I live in Illinois.  We were wanting to buy a condo in St. Pete. We reached out to Marla and she got back to us immediately.  We never met face to face but felt like we knew her for years!  Marla went above and beyond to find us a condo.  She would send us videos to look at so we could see what might be our purchase!  Marla searched out the perfect condo for us! She sent us a video and she helped us through the entire purchase over the phone and email!  We trusted her so much we bought a condo "sight unseen"!  We closed on it within a month!  AMAZING!  Marla is an awesome realtor but what makes it so much better is that she is a kind and thoughtful person and cares how you feel as a buyer.  Even when we were nervous, she calmed our nerves and made us feel human and that we had feelings she cared about and put us at ease.  We would highly recommend Marla to be your realtor!

I can't say enough good things about Marla Hudson.  She is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient and incredibly generous with her time (including mornings, evenings and weekends over the course of several months).  She answered every question, explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly.  Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with Marla made it as painless and straightforward as possible.  I highly recommend her.

Kyle Griggs - MO

Marla brought buyers for our FSBO condo within days of the listing - then proceeded to handle every detail along the way, facilitating a smooth process to a speedy and satisfactory closing.  She was friendly and professional every step of the way, and I highly recommend her services!

Marla was great to work with on my referral to her from Kyle Griggs. She worked efficiently and never gave up, even after a couple of bidding wars that didn’t go her way. In this market it’s crucial to have someone ready to go to work at any given time, to ensure the best chance to get the property that suits your needs. I would recommend using Marla for future referral business in the Gulf Beaches area . Brett Reinhart Realtor Owners Choice Realty Keller Williams of Springfield Over 50 Million SOLD !!

Marla Hudson, recently sold my investment home in St. Petersburg.  After a brief, to the point and informative presentation concerning what to expect, what I needed to do to really get my asking price and the reason for establishing the price we listed it for ... I gave the go ahead.  With the minor upgrades she recommended my investment home was sold for the exact price we discussed within weeks.  I would like to say it was all due to pricing right, the little things she said to get upgraded for attention and the professionalism she handled the whole process in was what sold my home, but it was actually her personality and drive.  Thanks for taking this on and the service you preformed, Outstanding! Marla best of luck with all you other listings and clients.
