After successfully completing her fifth year in real estate, she wanted to surround herself with the best.  Marzella reached out to her friend and Top Producer at Allie Beth Allman & Associates, Susie Thompson, and together they have formed a powerhouse team. Through a year of the pandemic, they finished 2020 strong with over $20 million in sales, and almost 50 transactions.  She enjoys the vibe at the Allman firm as well as its values of trust, honesty and integrity, the same core values she holds.  A belief her mother instilled in her early on was, one must always do the right thing even if it is not to your benefit, a lesson she lives and is passing on to her children.
