Malone Hodges
Managing Director | Broker
As the former CEO of an international Biotech firm, with operations on several continents, Malone had the opportunity to travel and live in exceptional places before he and his wife chose the Monterey Peninsula to raise their sons twenty years ago. His work has always included putting together complex business deals and helping people communicate effectively across barriers, including different languages, customs, and cultures. Those same skills make him an exceptional representative of his client's interests.
As the founding Managing Broker of Carmel Realty, Malone led its growth into the locally-owned leading luxury real estate brand on the Peninsula. Malone's team within Carmel Realty does over $50,000,000 in annual sales volume for a select group of clients, most referred to him from clients or community members.
Malone and his team are communicators. Clients are updated frequently throughout the preparation, marketing, and sale of the home. Nearly twenty years of experience has demonstrated that a collaborative approach between Malone and his team leads to the most effective preparation, marketing, and sale of the client's home. No photos are shared, descriptions published, or strategies executed that you, the client, have not seen and approved.
Malone is a believer in his Fiduciary Duty, that he and his team hold your interests above all others, including their own. Malone is happiest when working with engaged clients on their joint objective-the successful completion of the transaction.
Malone is a pilot who volunteers with the Monterey Sherriff's Aero Squadron and other flying organizations. He has served as the President of the Monterey Association of Realtors twice. Malone is known for his deep knowledge of contracts and negotiating skills; he teaches the contract class that all new local association members must attend.
