My wife and I recommend Martin for your real estate transaction whether it's to buy, sell or refinance property.

Fantastic experience: This is my third purchase and it was by far the smoothest transaction ever. Martin is amazing and highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Martin was very professional and treated me professionally and at the same time as a good friend. He worked as hard as if it were for himself. We worked together and if there were things I did not understand he would keep at it - presenting it in different ways until I understood it. By the same token if there were something that I was trying to explain, he would ask questions until he understood what I was talking about. Him in Real Estate and me in Accounting left some holes of understanding at times that took communication on both sides. I feel that there was no one out there that would have worked as hard or put so much time to help me than Martin. Our situation was unique in that my niece was buying me out of my portion of the house and she and my sister would then own the house. A very professional and totally satisfying situation with Martijn.

He worked tirelessly for three months everyday to help me purchase a home I love. We put in an offer on three homes and finally on the third home our offer was accepted. The first two offers did not go through, not because of Martin, but because I did not have the 70k or so extra cash needed to compete with the other buyers of those properties. The second home we got into contract with, and luckily we were able to exit the deal without having to sacrifice my hefty deposit. The third home I was able to purchase and I could not have done so without Martin's hard work and dedication to getting me this beautiful home. Thank you Martin!
