Team Marti--John L. Scott Real Estate

Experiencia fantástica: Marti, Merle, and their team did an awesome job in helping us find and buy our new home. They were always prompt and responsive and made us feel like we were their only client. We would highly recommend them if you are buying or selling a home!

Experiencia fantástica: Marti and her team did a wonderful job selling our home. The staging of our home in a contemporary style looked beautiful. The photos showed all aspects of our home in a bright an appealing way. We sold our home within 3 days of listing, a true example of her teams success. If you want to sell your home, you want Team Marti C.Hatter

Experiencia fantástica: Team Marti sold our home in Kent WA. Her team staged our house and hosted an open house. In four days, we had 2 offers above asking price! Wow! From our first meeting to the final closing, Team Marti was professional, proactive, and always available to answer our questions.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent

Experiencia fantástica: Team Marti is very knowledgeable and helpful. They have helped us sell or buy three homes and we highly recommend them.

Experiencia fantástica: Marti was recommended to us by a family friend, and boy are we glad we took their advice! I already told Marti she deserves the Best Realtor Ever award!!! I (almost) never felt worried during ourentire selling process, because Marti is so confident and knowledgeable about what she does - and that's coming from a chronic worry-wart! I trusted Marti to sell our house, did what she said, and our house sold FAST!!! Her team is quick to respond any time you have questions or just need to talk things through. She will give you very clear information, schedules, and when you're ready to sell, she'll walk and talk you through every offer, so you always feel like you're making the most informed decision. Marti is also just a kindhearted person. Our cross-country moving plans were laden with hiccups and bumps in the road, from our listing timeline, to a vacation right in the middle of selling, to the chaos every family deals with when trying to unpack. Marti always told us that our family's needs were more important than filling out forms. She was always a cheerleader for our family more than just the home sale, and we are so, so appreciative. I'd 100% recommend Team Marti to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Kent/Covington area.

Experiencia fantástica: The best team I've ever worked with. They worked hard to get us into our home. I recommend Team Marti to everyone I know.

Experiencia fantástica: Team Marti sold our home in 4 days. We received multiple offers and were thrilled with the outcome. Her team provided timely communication and professional guidance through every step in the selling process. Team Marti is the “Gold Standard”.

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Team Marti was the best decision we made when it came time to sell our home. On the initial walk through they advised us on the repairs and home improvements that needed to be made. The contractors they recommended exceeded our expectations. Her photographer and staging team are amazing! Throughout the process Marti patiently answered every question and guided us through the listing and closing process. Marti will treat you as if you were her only client. I highly recommend Team Marti to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Experiencia fantástica: Marti is one of the best! Excellent Marketing skills and process. Gets you the most money and handles everything in a professional manner. She was a pleasure to work with.

Experiencia fantástica: Marti made the process of selling a home a great experience! Everything was done promptly and on time. We appreciated it so much that we could always count on her to respond quickly to any concerns or questions we had (even when it was 830 on a weekday). Great working with her and would work with her again in a heartbeat - however I do not want to move again any time soon :).

Experiencia fantástica: Marti and her team did an incredible job in the sale of our home. Their professionalism, knowledge, and care gave me so much confidence in the process and in the decisions we were making. They consistently went over and above and were highly communicative, which I appreciated. I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would be happy to work with them again in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: This is the second house sold through Marti. Even though both homes were sold years apart from each other, both sold very quickly! This is because she knows the local market area extremely well and has put together a knowledgeable and responsive team. Thank TeamMarti!

Experiencia fantástica: Marti has now helped me move multiple times. Marti and her team are very helpful, proactive in their work and quick to respond to any questions/concerns you may have. We saw our dream home one morning and contacted Marti who immediately got the ball rolling, set us up with a great lender and got us a house viewing that night. We are so thankful for her hard work and assistance. She and her team come highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: “We retained Marti Reeder after interviewing a number of agents for a remote sale of a house in Kent. Marti provided her analysis of what repairs needed to be done in advance of sale. More importantly she made recommendations for contractors who did the work in a timely basis and with minimal effort by me. Having a real estate agent with good contractors, who see Marti as a repeat and important client is very important. After all the repairs, cleaning, etc, were taken care of the house was staged and it looked great. More importantly, the house sold for significantly more than I thought it would. The closing went smoothly and without a hitch. “

Experiencia fantástica: Marti and Merle Reeder, and their team: what outstanding professionals we have in our midst!!! After interviewing numerous agents, we chose Marti to represent us in selling our home. We can honestly say she not only accomplished all she said she would, but she accomplished a whole lot more. From the beginning we felt we were a part of a true team based upon the strong relationships which Marti has cultivated over the years. She guided us in preparing our house by suggesting updates as well as providing us with a list of contractors which her clients have successfully used in the past. We had the distinct feeling that she was totally committed to our sale and would do whatever she could to make sure we had a positive experience. We felt that she was with us all along the way. Marti was candid when we had questions and her experience helped us to achieve a very positive sale with numerous offers substantially above our asking price. Marti’s and her team’s communication with us was exceptional. She worked diligently with all parties involved including the title company, the buyers’ realtor, and the lender to insure that all bases were covered. She was always available through emails, texts, or phone calls and when in a meeting would return our calls promptly. This eliminated any unnecessary concerns on our part since we always were in the loop. Marti easily accepted our decisions on various issues, but was frank with us when she had a different opinion, although she always supported our final decision without hesitation. Over the years we have purchased and sold many properties, but working with Marti took the process to a whole other level. She is trustworthy, honest, professional, and generous with her time. Without a doubt we would give her and her team our highest recommendation.

Experiencia fantástica: Team Marti made a a stressful time much easier and smooth sailing when selling our home. From explaining the process, staging, negotiating, and closing, Team Marti was always on top of it, helpful when we needed it, and our advocate with the buyer's questions. Couldn't be happier!

Experiencia fantástica: Marti and her team did an absolutely incredible job of selling my house and helping me to find a new one. This was the first time I had gone through the process alone. From day one, Marti, held my hand— sometimes a literally! She and her husband Merle were so knowledgeable, supportive, and communicative throughout the entire process. Marti was quick to answer any question I had and to reassure me that I was doing the right things. What I did not expect, was Team Marti’s vast network of people that made this process much smoother and less stressful than it might’ve been. She had contacts for handymen, house cleaners, painters, carpet layers, roof repairers, and even someone who sold many of my things making me some extra money on the side! When it came to buying a new house, Marti was so skillful in negotiating my offer, that I got the perfect house for me! I am so grateful for Team Marti! They were a blessing in so many different ways during this process, and now I feel I’ve made new friends!

Experiencia fantástica: OMG, where do I begin? In the nearly 40 years that I have worked with or hired real estate brokers, I have NEVER experienced someone as good as Marti. I was donating the house to charity prior to the sale, which added complexity to the transaction but she handled it like the professional that she is. Her tenacity in dealing with the multiple parties involved was exceptional. After the donation, she still kept me in the loop at all times and allowed me input to the process. After my tenants had moved out, Marti had arranged for contractors to come in THE NEXT DAY to start work on getting the house ready for sale. Her team arranged to have landscaping done, minor cosmetic repairs, carpet, painting, and windows replaced. Marti's husband Merle is a contractor and was a Godsend! He was able to respond immediately to a couple issues found as the house was being prepped for sale. All of the work was completed within a couple weeks and the house went on the market about 3 weeks after the tenants vacated. She held 2 open houses starting on day 2 of the listing and had 7 offers in hand WITHIN 4 DAYS OF LISTING; ALL ABOVE ASKING PRICE! What a wonderful experience! Great customer service is not what it used to be but Marti is the exception. She is a great communicator and a great, genuine person. Her team is just the same! Thank you so much!

Experiencia fantástica: After extensive research into reviews such as these, my wife and I met with Marti Reeder and decided we didn’t need to look any further. She immediately noticed things about our home that made it desirable and marketable, and pointed out things we could do that would bring a higher return and a quicker sale. Her years of experience were evident from that first meeting, to the follow-up emails. Marti and her team were very organized from beginning to end, laying out everything having to do with our listing and sale on an editable calendar, which created a sort of chronological checklist. That way we always knew what our next steps were. As our listing date approached, the state’s businesses went into a shut-down brought on by the COVID19 outbreak. Although extremely disconcerting to us, Marti seemed almost unfazed, determined to forge on and get us full-price offers in spite of the chaos. And that’s exactly what happened - within three days we had three offers, all above asking price. She helped us weigh the pros and cons of each offer, then handled the subsequent negotiations and the machinations of closing the deal with professionalism and resolve. Bottom line: we would highly recommend Marti and team without reservation to anyone selling a home in the Kent/Covington area.

Experiencia fantástica: I have worked with Marti and Merle for several years - they are AMAZING! They have helped us buy and will be my first call when we are ready to sell. I recently met with Marti and Merle for one of their FREE Strategy Sessions at their office. It was extremely helpful. They spent a significant amount of time with me talking through all of the details of buying and selling to help me be prepared for our next move. It's hard to overestimate the amount of value in the experience that both Marti and Merle bring to the table! Marti knows everything there is to know about real estate, especially in the Northwest, and Merle has years of experience in construction - as a team, they are a powerhouse that will help make sure you don't miss anything in the process of buying or selling. On top of that, I can tell that they care deeply about what they do and the people they do it for. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone - in fact, I actually do that :)

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent

Experiencia fantástica: Marti and Merle are a dynamic duo!! We had the please of listing our home of 22 years with them. Their professionalism, industry knowledge, kindness and follow through was responsible for our home selling with in a few days over asking price. We would highly recommend bringing Marti and Merle on board to sell or buy a home. Fabulous experience!! Mark and Keri Scarff

Experiencia fantástica: Thank you Marti Reeder and Merle for working tirelessly and being so patient to find us the perfect home. The two of you are endowed with such sincerity, knowledge and are simply just an amazing dynamic duo. Much love...... Michael and Sally Peters

Experiencia fantástica: This is the second time I’ve used Marti and her team for a real estate transaction, and once again, they did an amazing job. They are extremely efficient and knowledgeable. I continue to value and respect Marti’s advice and guidance. I will most definitely turn to her again for any future real estate needs. She’s the best in my book!

Experiencia fantástica: Selling your house can be very stressful, to say the least. Team Marti handled the sale of my house very professionally and I am glad that they were on my team!

Experiencia fantástica: We recently worked with Team Marti to sell a rental property that we had owned for 40 years. Team Marti gave us some great advice about how to improve the property to prepare for the sale. They also provided a list of contractors that could help with the upgrades. Team Marti was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed working with them and would not hesitate to use them in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: Earlier this month I found myself in need of a knowledgeable, full-service realtor, so I called Marty Reeder. Marti and her team have an excellent reputation in our community, and they provided me with the help I needed with my property. Marty is very knowledgeable and focuses on her customers' needs. She responds to her calls promptly. Her communication skills are key in customer satisfaction. Thank you, Marty, for another job well done.

Experiencia fantástica: We can't say enough about what an excellent job Team Marti did with the sale of our house. First rate communication and quick responses with any questions that came up. We moved out of state 2 weeks before the house was listed and Marti put us in touch with someone to help with an estate sale (we left a lot of stuff behind), a house cleaner, a painter for minor repairs and touchup and a stager. Happy to say the house sold quickly and above list price. I highly recommend Marti Reeder.

Experiencia fantástica: Team Marti lead us though the house selling process every step of the way. I can't say enough about the professionalism and knowledge of the real estate market Team Marti has. Not only did they sell our home they helped with recommendations on loans, repairs and moving companies. After listed our house sold quickly and closed with no issues on time. Thank you Team Marti!

Experiencia fantástica: BEST TEAM EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!! Any and all issues were handled speedily and professionally. Excellent market knowledge. The team was AWESOME

Experiencia fantástica: Marti and her team guided and advised us through every step of preparing to sell/buy our properties. Her and her team were professional, organized, responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful. They provided phenomenal customer service, were flexible and worked with our schedule, made great recommendations when we needed contractors, and ultimately helped us get a fantastic offer on our house. They also supported, guided, and lent valuable feedback to us when searching and buying our new home. Our family is grateful for Marti and her team's efforts, time, and commitment!

Experiencia fantástica: Great!

Experiencia fantástica: Marti and team are great to work with! We used Marti for a purchase and sale and she is straight forward, always very responsive and definitely fights for her client. We are so grateful to the team and highly recommend them!

Experiencia fantástica: Hands down, you will not find better realtor than Marti Reeder (Team Marti)! She is knowledgeable, helpful, dependable, and will go above and beyond to make sure you (her client) can get the best outcome when purchasing real estate. Marti isn’t about making the all mighty dollar. There have been two situations where she advised to re-think a real estate purchase based on what I was in the market for. Other realtors might have seen this as easy sale but Marti was more interested in aligning with my purchasing desires. I plan to work with Marti with my next real estate purchase and I don’t wish to work with anyone else. I highly recommend Team Marti!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Marti & team were communicative, professional, and accommodating throughout the process of selling our house. In addition, they helped us navigate unforeseen events with as minimal stress as is possible in such a transaction. I would readily recommend to others.

Experiencia fantástica: Marti and her team were fantastic to work with. The team was professional and highly responsive to answering questions as well as informing us through the process of selling our home. Our home was beautifully staged and sold quickly. I highly recommend "Team Marti" if you are considering listing your home or if you need an agent to purchase a new home. Go Team Marti!!!! :)

Experiencia fantástica: We decided several years ago that when we planned to sell our house we would use Marti. She always had great reviews, seemed to really know her neighborhoods and her job. We finally decided to pull the trigger, LITERALLY 2 days before the COVID lock down but she and her team went out of their way to help us get this done. I will ALWAYS highly recommend her!

Experiencia fantástica: We’ve now used Marti Reeder to purchase two homes and sell one. When you use Marti to help navigate the housing market, you get an entire team of knowledgeable and caring individuals dedicated to guiding you through the numerous necessary decisions. A true team! Right after we purchased our new house, the market was hit by statewide closures due to Covid-19 and we still had a house to sell. Team Marti was with us through every up and down of navigating such a tricky and new situation. They make themselves available day/night even on weekends and communicate often. They go above and beyond and truly care about their clients. Whether you are selling or buying, you can’t go wrong with Team Marti!

Experiencia fantástica: Marti and her team did an outstanding job. They had marketing and business savvy and helped us through each step of the process without any "bumps in the road". They were partners with us and never did we feel and agent vs client dynamic.

Experiencia negativa: We have been attempting to buy a home that Team Marti has listed. It has been nothing but a headache since the day we began negotiations. We had our initial inspection of the home. The inspector suggested we have the chimney inspected as there were signs that there may be a problem. We also wanted to have gas line run from the garage to the kitchen and wanted to be sure there would not be an issue. So we wanted a plumber to look at the home to be sure there would not be any complications. For some reason this was "weird" according to Marti. However, an inspector telling a buyer they should get further inspections is perfectly normal, so I'm not sure why Marti thought this was so out of the ordinary. She then told us her clients were really nervous because they had not started planning their move across the country. (And this is our fault or problem to deal with how?) So, out of kindness and showing that we were negotiating in good faith we gave our $400 inspection report to the seller at no charge. What did we get in return for going the extra mile? Marti told us we were not allowed to attend the chimney inspection or be present when the plumber checked out the home for running gas line!! Imagine, we voluntarily give the sellers the inspection report we paid for and in return we get told that we're not good enough to step foot on the property! Furthermore, we didn't want to ruffle Team Marti any more so we waived the appraisal AND we waived ALL objections found through the inspection in hopes Team Marti would settle down and start to act professionally. Another poor calculation on my part. At 3 pm on Wed. we had our Realtor contact Team Marti to schedule the final walk through. By the time we went to bed on Wed night Team Marti didn't find time to call us back to confirm the walk through date and time even though her sellers rejected other times and dates.. This is her MO. She will not answer requests in a timely manner. She will leave you with MANY sleepless nights wondering what in the world is going on with your transaction. At every step of the negotiation process Marti stonewalled us, left us hanging night after night when requests were made by mid-afternoon on several occasions, she likes to play games with buyers. She is highly unprofessional and as a former Real Estate Broker myself I can honestly say I've never met a less desirable agent to work with than Marti. I have sold several of our own homes and would never think of treating a buyer the way Marti has treated us. We have bought several other homes and were not treated with such disdain as we've experienced with Marti. As a buyer you will lie awake at night wondering what you did to make her act in such an inhumane manner. BTW, there was $550.00 worth of repairs needed to the chimney, guess the chimney inspection wasn't so "weird" after all! RESPONSE TO TEAM MARTI - My review was not my opinion, nor was it what I "feel" you did. It is EXACTLY what you did! And you continue to not take responsibility for your actions, true to your previous behavior. In the end, the chimney actually cost nearly $5,000 to repair. You and your clients knew this was a defect which is why you refused to allow us to attend inspections. You are unprofessional and your behavior should be avoided by ANY ONE searching for a new home. I noticed you laughed at another poor review for you on YELP. You are simply to be avoided at all costs. I am positive you never learn form your mistakes.

Experiencia fantástica: Marti and her team are very professional and know what they are doing. We had an offer on our house the first day. Professional photographing and wonderful staging of our home made it sell quick. I highly recommend Marti and her team and will use her in the future without hesitation.

Experiencia fantástica: Team Marti ROCK! They provided step-by-step guidance and support to help us through the whole process. After being in the same home for more than 20 years, we were so invested in our home...and they treated it with such professional grace that we knew we were in great hands. We plan to use the team again to find that next home - thank you for making a 'life change' so much easier!

Experiencia fantástica: Marti did a great job selling our house, Marti was always on top of every process and her team right along side her which made everything go so smoothly. We would recommend Team Marti to anyone that is selling or buying a home. Thank you Marti Team for making our selling go so smoothly.

Experiencia fantástica: Marti and her team just recently helped me sell my home in Kentlake Highlands. I chose Marti after doing some research on-line, and she definitely lived up to her reputation and her awards! Marti & her team were excellent at communicating the entire time; always available for questions or anything that came up! The team made everything from the initial consultation, to the home prep/staging, to the offer acceptance & closing as easy as possible. I would use Marti & her team again, and would highly recommend them to others!

Experiencia fantástica: Couldn't have asked for a better experience with Marti and her team! I would 100% recommend them!

Experiencia fantástica: We have purchased and/or sold about 9 homes in the last 35 years. Without a doubt, Team Marti was the most professional, thorough and easiest to work with. Their level of communication with us and between themselves was something I didn’t believe existed in the Real Estate industry. Knowing that you have a group of professionals with one focus, put us at ease, during what is normally a stressful time. Thank you Marti and your team for making us #1.

Experiencia fantástica: I recently had the pleasure of working with Marti and her team, I couldn't be more satisfied with their services! I had already moved to a other town when my first sale fell through. Marti quickly listed my house on a Friday and I accepted a full price offer on Monday. She and her team handled everything so that I didn't have to come back into town. The contrast between the first sale attempt and the next one with Marti was like night and day. She was always quickly responsive and knew every detail whenever I reached out to her. It felt like I was her only client! However, I saw all of the other homes that she is the listing agent for on her website. I don't know how she does it, it's quite impressive! I highly recommend Team Marti to anyone that is selling a home and wants the "white glove treatment"!

Experiencia fantástica: Our experience buying our retirement home couldn’t have been smoother. Marti took the time to listen to our needs for our future home and tailored the search to reflect them. The whole team at ‘Team Marti’ was instrumental in making the search, offer, negotiations, and closing seamless. Marti was the first to put a major remodeling idea into our heads. We are now, less than 10 months from closing, enjoying the beautifully finished fruits of the remodel. We can’t thank the entire, wonderful group of folks at Team Marti enough for making our dream of lakefront living come true!

Experiencia fantástica: Marti and her team did a fantastic job helping us sell a mobile home with land in the Kent area recently. This was our first exposure working with a real estate company so we really appreciated her team’s knowledge and step by step process and honest suggestions on what to do, and how to do it. Her team’s professionalism, expertise, and communication throughout the process was superb. I would highly recommend Team Marti.

Experiencia fantástica: Marti and her team provided us excellent service selling our Kent home of 30 years. Marti was very professional, responsive to all our questions, great with communications and very willing to make the sale as easy and stress free as possible, which was not easy considering we had lived in our home for over 30 years and raised our 4 children there. Thank you Marti!

Experiencia fantástica: Marti and her team were amazing in helping us fulfill our dream of living on a lake. Marti is so knowledgeable, she had the deal complete 3.5 weeks from initial walk through to paper signing. She referred a great contractor to us for some remodel work, her and her team of checked in even after the deal to make sure we didn't have any more questions or concerns. Thank you so much!
