We had considered selling our house and downsizing and Martha May had helped us in previous years. We ultimately decided we weren’t ready to take that step. Recently, we made the decision to go ahead, and contacted Martha. We began looking, thinking it would take quite a while to find a condo. To our surprise, the 4th condo Martha showed us was the one. She was very good at keeping us in touch and in tune with the process. We closed on it last week and are now getting our house ready for sale with Martha.

Martha repeatedly and enthusiastically drove to the city from her home in Lake Forest to help us find a home in a difficult market on a short deadline. She was as comfortable traipsing through chest-high weeds at down-to-the-studs renovation projects as she was in fully remodeled properties helping us critique fixtures and finishes. She was available to us night and day, and we couldn’t have become first-time homeowners without her expertise and experience. We’re thrilled with our new home and so thankful to have had Martha with us every step of the way!

Martha is a pro, through and through. She guided us (first-timers) with grace and strength, supporting us all the way. We felt very taken care of right up until closing. Further, without Martha’s expert negotiation advice, I don’t believe we would have gotten the property for the price we did. I would recommend Martha to anyone, selling or buying. Her many years of experience are brought to bear for her clients in obvious and advantageous ways. Selling and buying houses is stressful; Martha takes a lot of that stress away, carrying it for you. 🙂 Thanks again!

Martha was a pleasure to work with! From the moment we met her, both her professionalism, and warm personality shown through! She is so knowledgeable, and the presentation of our property was beautifully presented!  Martha communicated with us every step of the way.  She is the best of the North Shore and beyond!

No matter the state of the real estate market or type of property being bought or sold, Martha’s experience, business acumen, and tenacity are rare traits that few realtors possess.The difficulty in selling the property was due to the condominium’s unnamed special assessment for 2024. Martha again handled the situation flawlessly.I have been working with Martha May for both purchasing and selling property since 1997. Other friends and family members have used her services as well. Simply put, in addition to all her qualities, she genuinely cares about her clients. And that is the difference in today’s real estate market.

Martha May was so willing to work with us again. She is very knowledgeable about the community and surrounding areas. She understands the buyer and does her best to stand up for the seller (us) trying to get the best price and other things that go with selling a house. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a great Realtor.

Trust me when I tell you, I’ve had nothing but an amazing experience with Martha as my Realtor not to mention, she found me my dream home. Martha was referred to me by a dear friend who highly recommended her after I had a bad experience with a previous Realtor. At each step in the whole process Martha came through with her commitment to excellence. She is very patient and highly knowledgeable about the market and always made me very like I was her top priority. I highly recommend Martha to anyone who is looking to buy a home, I know they will be well taken care of.
