If it weren't for Chris, I would not be getting ready to move into my new house this weekend as a first time homebuyer. With a sea of offers and overbidding in this pandemic-era housing market, Chris successfully negotiated an offer on the house we fell in love with. Although there were various hiccups during escrow and a couple times where I thought the deal was going to die, Chris exceeded my expectations and managed to keep it alive with a lot of patience but mostly skillful and strategic negotiating. Chris is also extremely knowledgeable about the market, and he always makes sure I am 100% confident in each of my decisions. I look forward to being able to with him again!

We have worked with Chris at Upside Properties for 3 separate transactions, 2 sales, and a purchase. Each experience was ideal in terms of professionalism, communication, and the expectations that were set.Chris is very realistic and matter of fact, but supports the optimism that often comes with buying or selling a home. At the end of the day, I can say without hesitation that each transaction went better than we expected, and we couldn't be happier.

Chris was very proactive from the start. He aggressively and strategically marketed my townhouse in Pasadena, resulting in multiple competing bids and a sale price well over asking! Two months later, he negotiated tirelessly to get me my first single family home, beating out other offers. Most importantly, he managed my expectations and kept me grounded throughout the entire process, which could have otherwise been very stressful due to Covid! Thank you, Chris!

I absolutely recommend Chris to help you finding the best deal on leasing/renting and buying homes at Beverly hills-Bel air areas. His knowledge and expertise on real estate are truly remarkable.

I recently purchased a town home in Pasadena and would not have been able to do it as efficiently and confidently had it not been for Norma and Chris Mardelli. This was my first home purchase and, needless to say, I was very nervous and anxious when I started to look! But the Mardelli Team consistently gave me very helpful, practical and objective advice when I needed it the most. They are very knowledgeable regarding real estate trends throughout Los Angeles County, and were always up to date on the available listings in my price range. They even helped me acclimate to the Pasadena community by suggesting great restaurants and things to do in the area. While I'm looking forward to making my new house a home, I would definitely use the Mardelli Team for any purchase or sale in the future. Thanks again!

Chris is very helpful, he showed us a lot of places and he knows around the area so well, that made us easier to find the place we want, also he helped us to understand all those papers that need to be sign and what are needed to make the purchase and everything, he is a great Realtor.

We were extremely fortunate to have Chris Mardelli as our real estate agent. He was able to help us find the perfect house in an ideal location. He made our first home buying experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, always going above and beyond to answer our questions and to help us navigate through the process. He is efficient, effective, responsive, and knowledgeable. Most importantly, we felt that he was 100% committed to helping us get the best deal possible, honest about the properties we saw, never pushy, negotiating endlessly and explaining things to us in detail. He went above and beyond, providing advice even after closing when we were thinking about some repairs and upgrades. We highly recommend working with him.

Had a great experience with Chris and the team at Mardelli real estate in selling our townhome in LA. His advice up front in the listing process was so valuable as he took the time to educate us on macro-level market forces and how they impacted our local market. The guidance to price our listing lower than we originally planned was a great, and ultimately led to a multiple-bid, over-ask situation! He was able to clearly lay out the (many) offers that we got into an easy to read format which helped us make the best decision possible. I recommend working with Chris and the team at Mardelli Real Estate!

I highly recommend Mardelli Real Estate to anyone looking for proactive and dynamic agents to help you search for and find the home you are looking to buy. Aline Mardelli was my agent, and after about 6 months searching for properties with my requirements, she successfully helped me find and buy the kind of home that I was looking for. She provided invaluable support and advice, and was a great advocate for my needs and preferences in moving forward, while maintaining honesty and a reasonable approach in the face of great challenges. Very reliable, open in communication and easy-going personality. Aline is a great agent, knows the area I was looking in very well (Pasadena/Alhambra)and draws from a breadth of experience and contacts in Mardelli Real Estate.

My husband and I were first time buyers using a VA loan and connected with Norma through the USAA MoversAdvantage program. Norma asked us about the type of property we were looking for and the neighborhoods we liked, and we were able to send her some examples that we had found online. Norma set up access for us on the MLS portal and we were able to reject or save listings within hours of them coming on the market. She was always very prompt to respond (usually within an hour of being contacted), and was generally able to secure showings for us within a day. On several occasions, she even previewed houses for us to let us know her thoughts on whether it would be a good fit for us.

In total we saw more than 30 properties with Norma and submitted 4 offers, all of which were multiple offer situations (up to 21 competing offers), and three of which were countered. She provided excellent guidance on how to tailor each offer to the current sellers, and never pressured us to go above what we were comfortable paying for each property. Due to the fact that we were using a VA loan, we were not as competitive as other buyers out there (especially those paying all or a substantial amount in cash), but Norma never lost hope for us and was incredibly positive throughout the experience. After the 4th offer we submitted, Norma was contacted by some of her previous clients about selling their current home. Norma knew the property had almost everything we were looking for, told the homeowners about us, and asked for their consent to show us the property before it officially went on the market. She acted as a dual agent, performed thorough due diligence and had multiple outside parties review the transaction to make sure that she was acting with the best interest of all parties. It is my firm belief that we would not have successfully bought a home that met our needs so well had we not had Norma as our realtor.

Norma and her team were amazing to work with. I was selling a condo from out of state and Norma went above and beyond to coordinate the logistics of handymen, contractors, inspectors etc. Her knowledge of how to price the property and how to negotiate got me a deal that was far better than anything I could have hoped for and she made the process extremely easy and smooth. I am so glad I chose Mardelli Real Estate.

Norma is an exceptional person who combines high level of skill, tact, attention to detail, unfailing energy and responsiveness, strategic finesse and expertise with charm, kindness and integrity.
She sold my house in 2013 and helped me buy a new one in 2014. She even helped me with a situation that had no possibility of financial gain. She leaves the competition miles behind.
