Meet the Team

Selling the home you grew up in can be stressful. Maxine and Marti Gellens and the entire team were 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...

It was a pleasure to have Marti and Maxine Gellens manage 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 the developing uncertainty in the market. Thanks, Marti and Maxine, for a wonderful experience.

Maxine is unstoppable and knows her business inside and 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 to several home offers we made. Over many months, she continued with major persistence to ultimately find and 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 suc...

Simply unparalleled, incomparable professionalism. These are the finest realtors with whom I have ever dealt. I highly recommend them.

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 an...

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. No matter the time of day, Marti Gellens was always quick to respond to our calls and messages, providing us with valuable insights and guidance every step of the way. 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 atte...
