Marla Clauser is a seasoned real estate professional whose career is distinguished by over a decade of award-winning service, unwavering integrity, and a deep commitment to excellence. Now proudly affiliated with Michael Saunders & Company, Marla brings her expertise to the vibrant Southwest Florida market, where she specializes in guiding clients through refined and meaningful real estate experiences—from primary residences to luxury retreats and investment properties.


Licensed in both Florida and Indiana, Marla continues to serve as an Associate Broker with Century 21, where she has built a long-standing reputation for professionalism, results, and client care. Her portfolio includes the successful closing of over 280 real estate transactions, a testament to her ability to deliver consistent results and provide exceptional guidance across a wide range of property types and market conditions. Her success is underscored by numerous accolades, including the Masters Ruby Award (2018, 2020, 2022, 2023), the Quality Service Award (2020), and the prestigious Pinnacle Quality Producer distinction awarded consecutively from 2021 through 2024.


Originally from the charming Swiss-founded community of Berne, Indiana, Marla now calls Southwest Bradenton her second home. She and her husband Mitchell are grateful to live, work, and explore in such an extraordinary region, where breathtaking Gulf Coast beaches, state parks, coastal culture, and vibrant culinary destinations abound. Whether relaxing on the sand, discovering local hidden gems, or spending time with friends and family, Marla embraces the Florida lifestyle with sincere appreciation and joy.


Beyond her professional accomplishments, Marla is widely known for her warmth, hospitality, and ability to make people feel genuinely seen and cared for. She has a natural talent for connecting with others-whether through hosting gatherings, volunteering within her church community and local schools, or mentoring youth through her long-standing involvement in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. Those closest to her describe her as a gracious communicator, a thoughtful listener, and someone who truly leads with her heart.

Marla's approach to real estate is both strategic and deeply personal. She believes that every client's journey is unique and deserving of tailored guidance, clear communication, and steadfast advocacy. She listens carefully, navigates challenges with composure, and brings a sense of calm and confidence to each transaction. Whether helping a family find their dream home, guiding a seller through a smooth and successful closing, or supporting a client's transition to a new phase of life, she offers a level of service marked by professionalism, discretion, and care.


Now working with one of Florida's most respected luxury real estate firms, Marla is excited to continue growing her business in Southwest Florida and beyond. Her dual licensure allows her to serve clients across state lines with the same thoughtful approach and consistent attention to detail. Above all, she remains focused on what matters most: building lasting relationships and helping her clients feel truly at home-wherever life takes them.
