We’ve been married for 4 ½ years and currently live in Arcadia. We bought our first home 2 years ago and we are enjoying the opportunity to own our own home. One of our greatest desires when we moved out of our apartment and into our home, was to expand our family by having a couple of dogs. We have 2 boxer brothers; their names are Frisco & Niner, (can you tell who our favorite football team is?). We picked them out at 5 weeks old, brought them home at 7 weeks and have loved them ever since.

We have been Realtors for the past 2 ½ years. Martin obtained his bachelors degree from San Francisco State University and his Masters from the University of the Pacific in Physical Therapy. We both love helping others, so Martin is able to do that for people through Physical Therapy and Mabel through Real Estate. However, Martin also has his Real Estate license and is well able to help in this team effort. Our favorite part of being Realtors is the everyday opportunities that we receive in meeting people. We love being able to get to know people and build relationships that will last a lifetime. We truly believe that the key to success is to put God first, do things unselfishly and with integrity. We have found everything else will fall into place.

On our spare time we love wine tasting, salsa dancing, staying home and watching movies in bed with Frisco & Niner, hosting married/engaged couples bible study, having family and friends over and going away for the weekend.

Our true desire is no matter what we do in life, that we do it well and that we give it all we’ve got. We want to leave a legacy for our future children and our nephews and nieces. We want to be an example to others and live life to its fullest.

Reba Parkinson

In the beginning of her Real Estate career, Reba spent two years as a Transaction Coordinator, closing an average of seventy transactions a year. Her diligence and personal service that she provided to her clients were instrumental in the timely and smooth closings of the real estate transactions. This time spent as a Transaction Coordinator has provided Reba with a wealth of experience in negotiating and smoothly closing Real Estate transactions.
 

Prior to becoming a Realtor, Reba worked for two years as a loan officer. This has given her an invaluable understanding of the loan process. One of the many skills Reba brings as a Realtor is the ability to communicate effectively with loan officers in evaluating a buyer’s ability to purchase a property even before opening escrow. This knowledge provides for smoother transactions for her clients as both buyers and sellers.

Reba has two adult daughters. The oldest daughter is married and holds a Bachelor Degree in International Studies. She and her husband are currently enjoying the adventure of sailing with the Military Sealift Command. Her youngest daughter will graduate in 2011 with her Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and she currently works with the County of San Bernardino providing in-home and in-school intervention for preschool aged children.

Reba also has a passion for raising awareness of missing children. In 2010, alongside her friend Paul “Doc” Nigh, she co-piloted the DeLorean Time Machine in an event called “The Fireball Run Adventurally" and the "Race to Recover America’s Missing Children.” This multi-vehicle, cross-country event drew large crowds, film crews and news outlets and gave the participants an opportunity to educate others about missing children in America. This event has been instrumental in recovering 36 of America’s Missing Children and bringing them home. For more information see www.fireballrun.com.
