Local Experts. Lasting Relationships.
For over 25 years, Marlene & Team has been helping Central Virginia families find their perfect home — and their place in this community.
Our Story
Marlene & Team at RE/MAX 1st Olympic was built on a simple belief: that buying or selling a home should feel like working with a trusted neighbor, not a transaction. Since our founding, we've been rooted in Lynchburg, Campbell County, Altavista, and Bedford County — communities we love and call home.
Over 25 years and more than 1,400 homes sold, we've earned a reputation for honesty, local knowledge, and genuine care for every client. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a growing family, or a seasoned investor, our team brings the same dedication to every relationship.
As proud members of the RE/MAX network — one of the most trusted names in real estate — we combine global reach with deep local roots. That means more exposure for your listing, more resources for your search, and a team that truly knows every street, school, and neighborhood in Central Virginia.
What We Stand For
The principles that guide every client relationship and every transaction.
Integrity First
We tell you the truth — even when it's not what you want to hear. Honest guidance builds lasting trust.
Local Knowledge
We live and work in these communities. Our insight goes beyond the MLS — we know the streets, the schools, and the neighbors.
Client-Centered
Your goals drive every decision we make. We listen first, then act — always in your best interest.
Results Driven
Over 1,400 successful closings speak for themselves. We bring the strategy and hustle to get deals done.
