A Trusted Real Estate Advisor

"Marty, I wanted to say thank you for helping me through my home-buying experience. It was obvious through the whole process that you had my best interests in mind. I felt comfortable with you right away and trusted your advice. You have such a variety of life experience, and I appreciate that you shared that knowledge with me. Buying a home is probably the biggest purchase I will ever make, and the thought doing it alone was VERY SCARY. You made the process less intimidating. Your confidence in me and the support I got from you and Penny made this (ordeal) process manageable when many things in my life were beyond my control. A simple "THANK YOU" seems so inadequate, but it is sincere and I wanted you to know how much I appreciate what you did."

Riss Lake Specialist

"If you are selling a house in Riss Lake, look no further than Marty. He knows the market well and does those little things that make a big difference in selling your home. We could not have been happier. After Marty picked up our listing from a realtor I would not recommend, the focus quickly changed from showing to selling. He followed up with all leads and facilitated the sell in a very short period of time. Marty focused on highlighting the things in our house that made our listing truly stand out in the market. He was willing to take the time to know our property and developed a marketing plan to position its unique features to the targeted market.In today’s competitive real-estate market, you need an advocate like Marty that you can trust to be professional, timely, and results driven. He used all of the current electronic tools to ensure our home’s first impression was a lasting one."

"Why I picked Marty to sell our home. I chose Marty Perrea because I wanted someone who was ethical, honest, knew all the latest websites and was aggressive but not to aggressive.

One thing that I really appreciated about Marty was that he was honest with me about his thoughts. If there was a decoration that dated the style of our home, Marty told me about it in a way not to hurt my sense of style. Even if I at first disagreed with his suggestions, I tried to approach his recommendations with an open mind. After sleeping on it overnight, I decided he was right.

Marty managed to get our home out to the widest group of prospective buyers possible using the internet. This was a key issue for me. The home we currently live in, I found on the internet, and I believed we would probably sell our home on the internet.

Marty showed me numerous homes while we were waiting on ours to sell. He also encouraged me to check out the competition, which I did.

After checking out the competition, I felt it was important to reduce our price to be the best buy in our price category. Obviously this was the right approach as we received a full asking price offer, non-contingent, the very next day!
My recommendation is to listen to Marty. When he gives advice, if at first you don't agree, sleep on it for a night. You may see things his way the next day.

Additionally, Marty's virtual tour was the best I've ever seen and probably a key factor in the fast sale of our home!"

Sells Fast and For the Highest Price Possible!

"My wife and I had raised the children in our six bedroom home and found ourselves to be really unable to properly maintain it for several years. The real estate market took a huge plunge and we had missed years of good market opportunities to sell but the home had many happy memories attached to it. We asked Marty to look at the property and he gave us his honest appraisal of it's worth and what he believed to be a good strategy to sell it in the down market of 2008. We hired him to represent us in the sale on May 1 expecting that we would have several month's time, or more, trying to find a buyer willing to buy on an "as is" basis. In the first two weeks, we had an astounding number of people looking at the house and received three offers well below the asking price. But, our expectations of several months on the market was not to be the case. We had to give possession of the property on May 27 and the sale was made at within $1,500.00 of the asking price. We can't express enough gratitude for Marty's astute advice and skillful guidance through what was an emotionally difficult time for both my wife and myself. Thank you, Marty! Thank you very much!"

Great Experience

"I would use Marty for house buying over and over again. When my husband and I decided to purchase a home, Marty was SO incredibly easy and fun to work with.

Marty has a knowledge about how houses are put together and how they should be maintained that he is able to look at a house and give so many tips/facts on what to look for, and how to maintain/fix things. He spent so much time looking with us and was always upbeat and patient. The entire thing was so painless and so fun that we had no stress about this process.

As an Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR) I Specialize in First Time Buyers!

"As a first-time homebuyer I could not have asked for a better agent than Marty. I was introduced to Marty by a mutual friend, who told me "this guy (Marty) will work his tail off for you". That statement could not have been more true. If I wanted to look at a house, Marty would make sure I saw the house ASAP and also fit my schedule. Marty would answer any question I had regarding a particular property or anything to do with the home buying process. Marty was there from the beginning until I closed on my new home. I would definitely refer my friends to Marty if they were buying or selling a home. Marty is a "high energy guy" and will go above and beyond the call of duty. Marty is my realtor of choice in the future and I also consider him a family friend. Thanks for your patience with me, your work ethic and your all around "good guy attitude"."

A Different Kind of Realtor.

"My name is Amy Hart and I first met Marty back in April of 2007. I just happened to call on a house that he was showing. We met at that house and from the very get go, Marty took care of me. At each house we looked at, Marty made sure to check EVERYTHING. If I had a question, he would make sure I had an answer that evening or at the very latest, the next morning. He made sure that he was available to speak with me, and on the rare instances I had to leave a voice mail, he made sure to return my call. In fact, I think he had to leave more voice mails with me. Marty was not only a great agent to work with but he also genuinely cared about me and making sure I found the right house. Thanks, Marty!"

Motivated to Sell your Home Fast.

"My name is Millie, my husband Steve and I were introduced to Marty through a referral. From our first introduction it was full speed ahead with Marty. This guy does not miss a beat, he did not miss an opportunity in showing our house; early morning or late evening he was there. There is absolutely no doubt that this guy is there for you! We consider ourselves very fortunate in having Marty as our realtor. We listed with him in March, the property sold the first week of May. Should we decide to purchase or sell property again, Marty will get the call."

First Time Buyer Specialist.

"I was very nervous about going through the process of buying my first home. From the very beginning I always felt Marty was looking out for my best interest and giving me great advice. I was well informed with what was going on during the whole process and always had my questions answered. I found a great home that I love and Marty helped make my transition to a homeowner a smooth one."

- Cassy Pitts, Kansas City Missouri

A Great Communicator.

"Marty kept us updated each step along the way with regular phone calls and emails. In our opinion, part of the reason for the sale was the combination of updates, excellent staging and the internet photos and virtual tour all of which we arranged through Marty. His ability to negotiate the best possible offer during what is perceived as a "buyer's market" also is a reason that we would highly reccomend him.

In this down market and with us 700 miles away from the house during the time we were trying to sell it, we relied on Marty to make sure our house was in its best presentation condition, and he EXCELLED!"
