About

Please welcome Marla Pennington, our Director of Career Development!

Marla strives for excellence in all she does. She joined Coldwell Banker Collins-Maury as a new real estate agent in 2007. Even though the country was in the middle of a huge economic downturn, her resolve was to remain positive and to build a successful business. Marla became a top producer by focusing on her clients' needs, listening to their dreams and desires, and helping them reach their goals. She also had a solid knowledge of Memphis and the surrounding areas, which was very helpful to her clients. Selling homes was not work; this was pure joy in helping others. Marla's career took off, and she was soon a Lifetime member of the Multi-Million Dollar Club. She learned that clients want to be empowered to make their own decisions. They need a strong, loyal advocate and an astute negotiator throughout the transaction. Marla developed and honed those qualities, and each year her business prospered, and she now enjoys life-long friendships with her clients. They are the reason she loves this career so much! In addition to holding her broker's license, Marla served as a 2020-2021 Director on the board of the Memphis Area Association of Realtors. She sees this as a great opportunity to give back to the professional community. At Coldwell Banker Collins-Maury, Marla is the Dir. Of Career Development where she oversees agent training in addition to listing properties. In her personal time, she loves to read, dance and cook, and a member of the Lindenwood Church Choir.
