About Marietta Ward

Marietta’s journey began in Athens, Greece, where her international perspective first took shape before she moved to the US to pursue her education and professional aspirations. Now based in California, she has spent the past fifteen years in Carmel-by-the-Sea, building a trusted reputation for discretion, service, and operational excellence.

 

Her career spans luxury hospitality, executive support, estate operations, and interior staging. Marietta brings a rare balance of business sophistication and personal warmth, making her a valued partner to property owners, executives, and high-profile clientele. She has extensive experience managing high-end estates and vacation rentals, overseeing daily operations, leading staff, and delivering seamless, elevated client experiences. Specializing in estate management, event coordination, and luxury property presentation, Marietta has also supported VIP clients as a personal and executive assistant.

 

Her expertise extends internationally, with recent work across Europe, including Greece, Italy, France, and Switzerland. There, she assisted clients with vacation home acquisitions, property transitions, staging, and curated furnishing projects for villas throughout Tuscany, and the beautiful Mediterranean islands. As a former owner of a successful home-staging company and warehouse operation, she combines a strong design sensibility with sharp business acumen. Known for her dedication, attention to detail, and “can-do” mindset, Marietta consistently delivers results with grace.

 

Now back in California, she is extremely happy and proud to bring her global expertise and passion to the distinguished Engel & Volkers Team in Carmel.
