If you want to skip the long thing: I've been in and around real estate since I was born, and I have not seen one realtor in my life, in 13 moves, in 2 countries, that came close to Greg Martin. He is the best realtor I have ever worked with.
Anyway.
I'm the son of two housing people, and I've been part of quite a few real estate transactions in my life. Before Greg I had had a predominantly awful experience with realtors - basically people that appeared to have passed whatever qualification they deemed necessary and thought their job was open houses and occasionally sending Zillow links.
Greg is incredible. He is not the usual half-baked realtor that kind of keeps an eye on things, who sort of cares. Greg is all-in emotionally and gives a damn more than most professionals I've worked with in my life, and is also *an excellent realtor*. He finds properties, he gets you into the properties, if you're busy - and I was moving from CA to NV while also selling my house in CA and buying a house in NV - he will get in there and video them, he will negotiate for you, he will go to bat for you. He knows the Las Vegas/Henderson area like an encyclopedia - not just the area names, but what's close to them, what you need to know, and if he doesn't know something he'll find it, and quickly.
When the transaction went back and forth, Greg was steady and gave great advice. He didn't make us wait for answers. He was compassionate and careful with what he was doing. We changed houses twice, and he didn't complain. When my realtor in CA couldn't find an appraiser during a pandemic, Greg found one. When I needed mortgage, Greg had a responsive, careful broker ready and waiting that wasn't just there to cash a check.
The transaction we just completed together started before COVID-19 hit, and was inarguably the most dramatic and ridiculous real estate transaction I've ever done, taking around 3 months. Greg, despite an excess of drama and chaos, remained a steady negotiating force, ever-helpful, INCREDIBLY patient as I was, frankly, extremely emotional/tired through the last hurdles, exceedingly communicative and continued to take action without us having to do anything.
Greg is simply the best. I cannot recommend him enough. If you need a house, you call Greg. That's it. I can write another 5000 words about how great he is. read more
