Marlene is one of the nicest people you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. Her honor and reputation are the most important thing to her and it shows. You will be in good hands and will not be disappointed when dealing with Marlene. Bob M.– Bob Montgomery
"My husband and I found Marlene through a friend's referral and she ended up being awesome to work with! She was so patient with us and understood our needs. We were not very familiar with Ocala, but she knew the area well and was able to advise us on the best neighborhoods to search. She really made finding the right home easier than we expected. -Aline P.S. We love our new place!– Aline Slosaski
Earlier this year, my sister and I needed to find a place for our stepfather, so we hired Marlene to help on our quest to downsize him. We hit some bumps and changed directions a few times, but Marlene kept on top of everything and we finally got him a new home. Her determination and dedication are unmatchable. Unlike so many realtors we dealt with, Marlene always answers he phone and responds to emails/texts asap. She goes the extra mile for her clients and clearly takes pride in her job. To me, buying a home is a very time consuming and frustrating process, but Marlene changed that. She is such a pleasure to work with -she truly cares about her clients and takes the time to get to know you and your specific needs. I made a friend for life with her and will certainly recommend her to anyone! Marlene really is
the hardest working and most determined realtor you can find! Tracy W. - Ocala, FL– Tracy W
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Marlene for all her hard work and dedication in helping us find the perfect property. Her character, integrity and tenacity is unsurpassed. We were probably not the easiet clients she ever had to deal with, but at no point in time did she ever fail to give us 150%. We had to build a very large steel garage on the premises, so when it came time to find out whether the property had any deed restrictions, she already had the information we needed to make a logical decision. She helped us every step of the way and took what I expected to be a stressful situation into an effortless one. I can't say enough about how Marlene made us feel like family. We started out looking for a realtor and found Marlene who in the end was not only a true professional, but a true blue friend! Simon L.– Simon Lister
My father finally decided to move to Ocala to be closer to me and I can't tell you how thrilled I am that he did! A friend of mine recommended Marlene to me and so I called. My father and I met with her and she asked questions on basically what his needs were. My father is in his 70's and she wanted to make sure she found a place that was well-suited for him. She made a few really good points such as, his home should be in a community close to shopping with bus service, and a hospital in close proximity because of some of his medical issues. She thought of things I would have never thought to ask. Needless to say, my father loves his new place and I love having him so close to me! I would highly recommend Marlene for any of your real estate needs. She in my opinion is a true professional. Aimee S.– Aimee Sayles
Marlene has to be commended for working with my family on finding a home. We faced quite a few obstacles along the way in our quest to find the perfect house. We had to deal with a few rude realtors, a couple of odd home-owners, and the most frustrating closing company imaginable. Marlene handled all these obstacles with professionalism and a smile on her face! She made what should have been an incredibly frustrating experience into a pleasant one instead. Marlene is the type of person you want as your real estate agent! I am so grateful for her. Dawn W.– Dawn Wallner
The housing market is a large place and Marlene made my experience with shopping for a home a dream. She was always ready with answers to any questions that I had. Buying a house is a large investment and she was able to find a home that met our needs. Marlene it was so nice to have met you. Thank you for the great buying experience I had with you. I will recommend that anyone who wants a good Realtor will find one in you! Thanks again for your expertise and for the awesome home buying experience! Bill
Marlene
I want to thank you for helping me find a house and property that fit my needs.
I know it wasn’t easy, we had to look at a lot of properties. Thanks for bearing with me in my quest!

Marlene is an excellent real estate agent and one of finest people I have had the pleasure to work with. She sold my house in a short time for a price which was par for that market. Her energy and knowledge of the market made me feel that I had made the best choice even before the house sold. She strived to make me comfortable with the entire process of the listing and the sale along with the closing process. In short, if you want the best than Marlene is the only choice you should make!
The wisest decision that my husband and I ever made was picking Marlene for our Realitor. Marlene has a heart of gold and she makes it her mission to help you find the right house for the right price. She goes out of her way to accommodate your needs and wants. Even when we had obstacles along the way, she would always encourage us not to give up hope, that our new home was out there, waiting for us. We highly recommend Marlene Harden. She is and will always be a “blessing” to us. Thank you, Marlene, for all the hard work you showed from the beginning and all the way to closing. You made the journey well worth it! Love, Patricia & Jerry
Marlene was very helpful in finding the type of home I was looking for. She helped in the week before Hurricane Irma and the time after the storm passed going to many locations. With early bank closing and title co. closings she worked very hard making sure I was able to get paper work done so I could get a deposit in for my house. I would deffinitly recommend her to friends if they were looking to purchase homes in this area. Thank You For All Your Help Marlene. Zeke endorses You– Zeke Zavatsky
For weeks I had been looking for office space in a very specific area, within a very specific budget. I browsed several websites, and reached out to two other realtors. I was told that I'd need to increase my budget, or choose another area. Family members had used Marlene successfully in their search, and I decided to ask for her help. To my complete surprise, Marlene not only found the right space in the right location at the right price, she was able to do it within 48hrs! I was amazed at her energy level, persistence, and attention to detail. I have worked with a dozen realtors in the last 15 yrs, and I can honestly say that Marlene will be my first call next time I'm in need of an agent.– Pete Czechowski
Marlene works very hard to accomplish what ever task is in front of here, she kept us informed with every step in purchasing our home. naturally we would highly recommend Marlene– Delbert Thompson
As the result of a chance meeting, unrelated to real estate, and really hitting it off, we offered Marlene a seemingly impossible task. Getting us a bank-foreclosed property that the bank didn't even know they owned. Over the course of nearly a year she diligently annoyed everyone and anyone who would take her calls and amazingly enough, we now own the property!! Marlene was terrific. She just never gave up and refused to take no for an answer. She's the first person I want on my team, whether it's real estate related or anything else. Plus she really cool and a hell of a lot of fun!! -Ed Tilbury
On August 29, 2018 my husband and I closed on our very first home. When we first even thought about buying a house we knew right away who we were going to ask to help us. Marlene is not just an amazing realtor, she has became a dear friend of ours. We knew we were in good hands with her. She was so patient with us throughout the whole process and catered to what we were looking for. After searching for our perfect house, we finally found it! Marlene directed us in all the right directions, to get everything done and move forward. And then on August 29th we signed on our closing! She was with us every step of the way! Marlene has a heart of gold, is honest, hardworking, kind and resilient! Thank you for all that you've done! You're amazing...and will be forever grateful!
We found Marlene through a mutual friend. On our first meeting she said "we're family" and she treated us that way during the whole process. She took us on the near impossible task finding a home that met both my wife and I's wants. Marlene was in regular contact with us and showed us homes that we inevitably declined for months. We started thinking the place did not exist, but Marlene was undeterred and continued to be optimistic and never let our no's get to her. Once we did find a place she continued to stay in contact letting us know any updates and finding answers to all our questions all the way to our signing day.
Once it was time to list our old home, she came over with her husband and helped stage and light our home, ensuring that the photos looked warm and appealing. She let us know when the house had showings and would contact the showing realtor for feedback. Once we got an acceptable offer she again ensured we knew where we were in line with closing with regular updates. Marlene was amazing from beginning to end of this whole journey. She truly was emotionally invested in us finding the right place and selling our home for a good price. We cannot recommend Marlene enough and when the time comes for us to move again, we will absolutely be asking for her help.
We would like to tell everyone just how much Marlene means to us! She helped us with everything and was "Johnny on the Spot" with everything! If we wanted to look at a house she arranged for us to see it ASAP! We would never use another Realtor after dealing with her! She stood by us to the very end and now we are so happy in our new home!
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for helping us to find our FIRST house and guide us thru the whole process.
Thank you for providing excellent service and professionalism. Before we met you, we weren’t sure if we were ready to start the process on buying a home, since it seemed to be a long and complicated situation to be in. However, we were so fortunate to have you as our agent, who we believe is the best realtor we’ve ever spoken to.
Your communication with us throughout the whole process helped us feel secure and confident each step of the way . Finding the right people and making this process as easy as possible was such an amazing experience .
Most of all we deeply appreciate that you’ve treated us with so much care and respect. Buying our FIRST home was incredibly positive experience for us. I will always recommend Marlene Tsagarakis Harden to anyone in search of a new home!
Sincerely,
Kiara & Miguel Pagan
Marlene made my home purchase seamless. She was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the process. She walked me through the house that I wanted to look at and gave very helpful feedback when asked. Marlene brings a passion, energy and service orientation to her job that will make you feel so good about your real estate experience.
I would highly recommend Marlene to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Ocala area.
To All -
We were in search of a home for our son & family & Marlene Harden was our realtor .. she is the best! She was so patient with our family. There were at least 8 of us when she would show us a house. She was always prepared with all the information on each house and she worked amazingly with all of our time schedules..She was never pushy. She took all of our considerations to heart and found the right house for them with kindness & compassion. She comes very highly recommend! Thank you Marlene for an experience could have been challenging and yet you made it a joyful experience for us!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Marlene Harden when selling our home. From day 1, Marlene was amazing! She worked hard to get our house sold quickly for a great price! All throughout the negotiations and closing Marlene was there quickly handling any issues that may have risen. If the time ever comes when we need a realtor again, there isn't any question on who our realtor will be! Thanks again Marlene for all the hard work!! The Bartletts
