Questions & Answers About Us

Q.  How long have you been in the business?

Ashlee: Since 2010; this time around.

Marley: I received my license in 2008 (started classes in the fall of 2007).

Q. Have you always worked for BHHS?

Ashlee: I started with Prudential which was then bought by BHHS so yes in essence I’ve always been a part of the Berkshire Hathaway team.

Marley: I started my career with Keller Williams, but moved to Prudential after two years. When Berkshire Hathaway purchased the Prudential RE chapter, I was happy to be absorbed!

Q. What made you decide to go into Real Estate?

Ashlee: Both of my parents were Realtors at one point in their lives. When I was 19 my Dad suggested that I go to real estate school because he thought I would enjoy it and he also thought it was great knowledge to have whether you do it as a career or not. So, in 1999 I got my license and worked in the industry for about a year then but then decided I wanted to pursue other things. It wasn’t until 2010 that I decided to give it another try….this time I fell in love with it and knew it was something I could really sink my teeth into, enjoy it AND be great at.

Marley: I had a Great Aunt that was a very successful broker in the Phoenix area. My family felt that I had her savviness and encouraged my to get into the business.

Q. What is the most exciting thing about your job?

Ashlee: I love that everyday is different. Every client requires different things. Every transaction is unique and every property exclusive.

Marley: Everyday is different, every transaction is different. I have never had the Groundhog Day Syndrome. I am very thankful for this.

Q. What made you decide to join forces as a team?

Ashlee: For me it was wanting to align with another agent with whom I trusted, who I knew was honest & hardworking, someone I knew had my back and my clients back always and although we have different styles we truly do make a great team.

Marley: Because Ashlee and I both travel, I guess we developed an unofficial team many years ago. When Ash wanted to start a RE project that would require more travel, it only seemed natural to make it official. She and I have different strengths and we compliment each other. It is a great symbiotic relationship!

Q. How long have you been together as a Real Estate team?

Ashlee: Unofficially about 4 years.
Marley: We made it official in 2019.

Q. What is your teammates most enduring quality?

Ashlee: Marley on a professional level goes above and beyond for every one of her clients. She works herself to the bone on each and every deal and will do whatever is necessary to make sure the client is happy. On a personal level Marley is such a giving soul, and has your back through think & thin.

Marley: Ashlee is always has the big picture in mind and really thinks outside the box to help us overcome any obstacle. She is the creative one, impressively so. Her marketing skills and imagination has put our team’s best face forward. She has a real gift for it! Even if we were not partners I would want to be around Ash - she is a very smart and considerate individual that I am lucky to consider a friend.

Q. What did you do before real estate?

Ashlee: I did a lot of things but my main career was corporate marketing which I did for about 16 years with various corporations just prior to getting back into real estate. I was also on the Radio, I worked at NBC television, I was a media buyer, I worked at an Advertising Agency, I was a substitute teacher, I’m a certified teacher of English as a second language, and I have taught Kickboxing.

Marley: My life in the workforce started in high school - I worked in retail as well ran a soda bar at a dance club. I entered into the food and beverage industry at 19 - I was a hostess and did bookkeeping until I turned 21, then bartended (a “hobby” I still practice today). I was a bookkeeper for an elite Salt Lake private club for 5 years and I was the logistics coordinator for Reuters during the 2001 World Track and Field Meet in Edmonton, Canada as well as the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics

Q. What do you like to do when you aren’t working?

Ashlee: Travel is and always will be my life outside of work. But lately I’ve taken up cooking and so it’s become my creative outlet & coping mechanism when I’m having a rough day or even when I’m not it has become such a cathartic time of each day for me.

Marley: I love to work on our Salt Lake and Escalante houses….. but I often feel I have bitten off more than I can chew…....And Scuba Diving!

Q. Favorite local restaurant?

Ashlee: I have always loved Kyoto. Can I only name one? Nope, okay one is too hard because I also love Red Iguana, Café Madrid, Crown Burger and HSL.

Marley: I love Mazza, Caffè Molise, Finn’s Cafe……these are only a few. Salt Lake has really turned into a foodies' paradise!

Q. What hobbies do you have?

Ashlee: This job is all-consuming and leaves little time for anything else but when not working I love to workout especially lifting weights, I enjoy being in Nature, I love the sun & water, obviously as stated before I love to travel, now I love cooking and I also love animals especially doggies.

Marley: I spend my time outside of business working on the house, especially in the yard and garden, when weather permits. Being in Real Estate gives me ENDLESS ideas on house projects. But my most important hobby is, of course, Scuba!

Q. Favorite travel destination?

Ashlee: Okay now this question isn’t fair. My entire life has been about saving money so I can travel far & wide and I’ve been very blessed to have traveled to nearly 70 countries but yet there is so much more of the world to see. I have loved traveling throughout India, I loved Iceland, Morocco & the rest of the Middle East and the off the- beaten paths deep inside of Mexico.

Marley: This one is tough too. I am in love with Italy, but have not had the opportunity to dive there. I had two amazing dive trips to Thailand and Myanmar, hands down my best diving yet. I also left a piece of my heart in Laos.

Q. Where do you want to travel to next?

Ashlee: Continuing on the question above, soon I hope to be able to add more countries to my list including Mongolia, Bhutan, Nepal & Tibet. The art of traveling is never complete!

Marley: Raja Ampat, Palau, The Red Sea, The Great Barrier Reef and Cape Town are on my diving bucket-list.
