Like most people looking for a home, my wife and I had a big “must have” list, we also naively thought we could find the perfect house and navigate the fast-moving housing market on our own. Fortunately, we met Tom Martin of the Martin Group at Keller Williams North Shore at an open house he was showing and were immediately impressed, not as much by the house as by his knowledge, easy going demeanor, local experience, and professionalism. After nearly two years looking on our own, we decided to get Tom and his team on our side. Things moved quickly after that with Tom creating a customized web portal that fed us new listings. More importantly however, was Tom’s agility in scheduling showings, responding to questions, and providing insights into the properties we targeted. We would be remiss not to give a shout out to Marcus who also gave us his forthright opinion and kept our expectations high even in this challenging buyers’ market. When the right home showed up, Tom and his team were able to provide answers to every question we could throw at them. They helped us through the process from beginning to end (transaction coordinator Julie was a godsend), but their support did not end when the transaction closed. Tom and his team have continued to reach out to us, giving us leads on contractors, services, and inviting us to events. Overall, our experience with The Martin Group was outstanding, and we would recommend their services to anyone looking for a home in the area.
