Welcome
to Vance Realty Group“Hi, I’m Marlys. I was born and raised in this wonderful coastal community and still live here. I’m so excited at the possibility of welcoming you to the neighborhood!”
My mother Lora Vance started our business and it has been in our family for nearly 50 years. I began my career with her in my early 20’s and have been graced with amazingly loyal clients from all positions in life for over 30 years. Our cozy offices sit right on Balboa Island’s Main Street, and we love welcoming passersby from all over the world. This business has been my passion since I can remember! My clients trust me, and refer their friends and family allowing me to serve generation after generation… whether to help find the perfect home, sell one they’ve outgrown or adding to their portfolio and managing their investments. Having such strong roots and a deep connection for this area, my team and I have great knowledge and experience in these communities and the latest market trends second to none. I’d love to meet you and introduce you to my team. Let us help you with your real estate dreams.

Today’s real estate market has changed as much as it’s stayed the same. What’s changed?: Funding options, tax laws, faceless sellers and Internet scams. What’s stayed the same?: Dreams of finding that perfect place to call “home” and hopes of working with a knowledgeable agent whom you can trust.
I can’t stop the ever-evolving world of real estate, but I’ve built my reputation on protecting the people I work with and on being able to leverage the latest rulings and online opportunities on behalf of my clients in the best possible way. And I’ve never stopped treating my business and my clients like family – it’s the foundation of who I am and why people buying or selling their homes choose to do so with me. I hope you’ll become one of the newest members of my Vance Realty Group family. I consider it an honor to help others find exactly what they’re looking for.
