“Finding a realtor is, like finding a property, a combination of shoe leather and luck, particularly if you don’t live in the city you are moving to. I began with a realtor who was clearly on a different wavelength (she still sends me 30 listings a day). A local friend recommended the City Block team. I reached out to them and heard back from Martin, which was very lucky for me. Martin seems extremely laid back but that should not be mistaken for a lack of savvy or carelessness. I made a couple of trips to Philadelphia to look at properties. Martin was always available, and prompt and returned texts and e-mails immediately and never pressured me. He helped me through the inspection process and saved me thousands of dollars as well. Martin’s recommendations for settlement attorney and mortgage loan officer were both excellent. There was a thorny issue with the parking spot I was purchasing that was resolved by the settlement company at the last moment. Martin always had an option or solution to suggest. While buying a property is never fun, Martin certainly made my new home purchase smooth and enjoyable.”
