Marlene brings over a decade of experience in New York City real estate, guiding buyers, sellers, and investors with a refined and results-driven approach. As a real estate advisor at Platinum Forbes Global Properties, she specializes in high end condominiums, penthouses, and new developments, offering a high level of service across both local and international markets.

Her experience spans both sales and leasing across co-ops and condominiums, including managing an exclusive rental portfolio of 162 residences at Forte Select in Hell’s Kitchen, where she achieved record pricing for the area. She has represented clients through every stage of the transaction process, including negotiations, due diligence, board packages, and closings, while connecting them with trusted legal, financial, and operational resources.

Marlene works closely with clients as a trusted advisor, focusing on clear communication, thoughtful strategy, and precision. Her international experience includes transactions in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and the United Kingdom, working with global investors and ultra-high-net-worth individuals. This perspective allows her to identify opportunities across markets and support clients in building long-term value.

Originally from Pennsylvania, Marlene relocated to New York City with the goal of building a career at the highest level of the industry. Her background in managing multimillion-dollar portfolios, combined with her strong network and hands-on approach, allows her to navigate complex transactions with confidence and discretion.

Since then, she has consistently ranked among the top-performing agents, earning a reputation for delivering exceptional service, strategic guidance, and outstanding results in New York City's competitive real estate market.

Beyond real estate, Marlene is passionate about philanthropy and global humanitarian efforts. She serves as a Brand Ambassador for Salam Charity, where she actively supports fundraising initiatives and participates in humanitarian deployments to provide aid to orphaned children, refugees, and underserved communities worldwide. Her commitment to service reflects the same compassion, integrity, and dedication she brings to every client relationship.

Outside of work, Marlene enjoys staying active through Pilates and bootcamp classes, traveling, and exploring different cultures. Fluent in Arabic, she brings a deep connection to international markets and a truly global perspective to her business.
