My Business Philosophy:


It is my belief that by practicing The Golden Rule, I will receive from others in direct proportion to the service and loyalty that I give them first. This belief is applicable in all my daily transactions with customers, clients and fellow human beings.
I believe that success is the product of extraordinary service characterized by genuine caring, tremendous enthusiasm, outstanding professionalism and unquestionable integrity.
I am confident that this philosophy will produce results that will allow me to rightfully deserve the honor of being simply ... THE BEST NAME IN THE BUSINESS!

About Marilyn:

I was born and raised in Houston, Texas and lived there until 1982 when I married Creighton and we moved to Dix Hills, NY for one year. When Creighton decided to accept a position with a local biotechnology company, we happily settled in La Costa, CA in May, 1983. I am happily married to Creighton who was a consultant to the biotechnology industry and my business partner in real estate since 2010. We have two grown children, Chris and Heather. Chris and Courtney have four children, Keegan, Sydney, Evan and Spencer which made me a very young grandmother. They live in Fishers, Indiana, a suburb of Indianapolis. Heather married Farru in November, 2005 and they live in Oceanside, CA. They have two children, Olivia and Owen. I am actively involved in the Solana Beach Presbyterian Church, where I am a Barnabas minister, Stephen Minister and past Co-Moderator of the Deacons. I am an avid golfer, reader, gourmet cook and love to walk and travel. I have written my own cookbook.
