Why Martin's Landing?

Having discovered Martin’s Landing a number of years ago by what seemed like a simple happenstance in having purchased a distressed property that was advertised on Craigslist, I discovered an amazing community that was then and still today, undervalued. Prior to becoming a full-time real estate expert, I diligently studied created and compiled valuable data to maximize my net proceeds in the sale of my own modest Martin’s Landing property. The result was the highest $/SF sale in the history of Martin’s Landing. From there I went onto make other sales and purchases that were all said to be improbable or far fetched.  For my entire life, I have thrived on being motivated by the improbable and naysayers.  Today, as I continue to improve and study the constantly changing data (micro and macro), I embrace the opportunity to leverage it with my years of experience, lessons learned and successes to the benefit of Martin’s Landing homeowners in helping them prepare to maximize their net proceeds in the sale of their homes. 

In today's real estate world, and for quite some time, agents and brokerages have abandoned the approach of being dedicated to a sole neighborhood.  Most prefer covering a much broader area and no longer being a true expert of any one, with the reasoning that being dedicated to one area is too risky and limiting.  Trust me, I have heard it many times as it relates to Martin Lake Group.  While I hear the argument, I disagree, having already begun to see so many positive outcomes with many forthcoming.  Myself and Martin Lake Group is committed to providing both current and future Martin's Landing residents with their own dedicated neighborhood real estate expert.  An "old school" approach to building community and forming genuine relationships, while being anything but "old school" in the way business is done through the core values of  innovation, intellect and integrity.
