Meet Marlene Kindt

"You want me on your team."-Marlene Kindt

Your realtor received her licensing with the Department of Real Estate (DRE) in 2019. Her license number is #02087349. With 3 years of sales experience, Marlene is currently a team member at Keller Williams La Jolla, Broker Real Estate # 01932411. She specializes in residential real estate in Southern California area. Her primary areas are the San Bernardino & San Diego Counties. Keller Williams La Jolla embodied her business vision with their agent statement being, "God, family, business"; in that order. Aspiring to live a life that matters, she places first things first.

Marlene started her real estate journey with her own property that she acquired and managed at the age of 25. Understanding how a home can change your life through legacy pushed her to get her license and help others acquire an asset that could leave an inheritance for generations. She believes that, "a wise man will leave an inheritance for his children's children" - Proverbs 13:22.

Shortly after acquiring her first property, she then got hired as a Time Share sales associate at World Mark by Wyndham in San Diego, California. Getting a taste of selling time shares showed Marlene the opportunities that real estate had to offer. One most definitely needs to have a license in this field, and she believes it was well worth it to understand the sales process.

She moved on to AirBnB rentals in the trending Joshua Tree area. She came to love the clean aesthetic that gave guests and visitors a get away that they would remember. With great design teams that collaborated with the seller, she picked up a thing or two when it comes to interior staging and design. Creating a relaxing vibe, while coordinating the different vendors for a successful stay became more natural to her. Due to this experience, she has had the pleasure of assisting those looking for investment properties in the area; giving them tips and ideas on what to look for in an AirBnB rental property. Needless to say, location is HUGE in all that.

Marlene found rentals fascinating and decided to pursue training in long term and short term leases. Understanding tenant laws and compliance was something she valued due to future sellers and investors needing to know what would and wouldn't work. She managed 175 units at a boutique property management company. She was one of two employees and it all fell on her for scheduling repairs, coordinating vendors, as well as quality checking everything that was done. This included hiring cleaners, handymen, plumbers, etc. No one got paid unless they finished the job; which she felt proud to oversee for the landlords that she was managing for. Marlene was happy that the owners were happy. To do the work of giving the landlords a great renting experience through the company she worked for made her strive for excellence. This experience has kept sellers and more than one of her first time home buyers from hot water when dealing with a tenant occupied unit.

Marlene Kindt has an Associate's Degree in Communication Studies, is a dual citizen of America/ New Zealand, is CPR Certified, is HIS Licensed, a regular blood donor, as well as being a Certified Personal Trainer through NASM (Nation Academy of Sports Medicine).

She is very active and involved in her community. She did modeling for charity with designer and event host Leonard Simpson for the mentally disabled in San Diego in 2019. She volunteers at Streets of Hope in downtown San Diego. This is where she is able to give back to the homeless and feed them.

​​​​​​​Her love for home ownership and supporting healthy community drives her to help her clients with grace and patience. With each opportunity, she strives for excellence in communication and negotiation. Marlene looks forward to hearing your story and how she can help you achieve your real estate dreams.
