About Us

Norma was our first realtor, but she was extremely helpful in every way. We didn't know how anything worked when we started, and she helped us through the entire process. She was very responsive and knowledgeable about Pasadena. We are good friends now, and we will most likely have her sell the place she helped us buy when we are ready to move.

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 of times when I thought the deal was going to die, Chris exceeded my expecta...

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 bett...

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 oth...

I recently purchased a townhome 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 knowledge...

Chris is very helpful; he showed us a lot of places, and he knows the area so well that it made it easier for us to find the place we wanted. Also, he helped us to understand all those papers that needed to be signed and what was needed to make the purchase and everything; he is a great Realtor.

He is efficient, effective, responsive, and knowledgeable. Most importantly, we ...

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 great and ultimately led to a multiple-bid, over-ask situation! He was ...

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 of 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 advocat...
