My situation was a little unique, as I was selling my home due to a divorce. Like everyone, we had a couple realtors come out and look at the house. Karl was recommended to me by a close friend. As part of an agreement, my ex-wife used her realtor to sell our home (he listed it for an extremely high price, and we had only two viewings in two months). I then convinced them (my ex and her realtor) to lower the price to what Karl had suggested, and it sold within a month for exactly what he said it would.

I needed to find a place for me and my two dogs to live in a short amount of time, and there was no doubt that I was going to use Karl as my realtor. Karl has extensive market place knowledge. He takes the time to listen to his clients, and shows you the homes you want to see, not homes he wants to sell you. He is very honest and tells you the pro's and con's of each home and its true value. There is never any pressure or persuasion. He genuinely wants you to find a home you will be happy in. Once you find the perfect home for you, then the real magic of the Martone Group begins.

These people will do ANYTHING to help you. They are the definition of great customer service. They clearly communicate everything you need to do, and keep everything on schedule. Jackie in the office is constantly there for you. They get back to you immediately if you ask a question or need help with something. With their vast resources, they can help you obtain movers, cleaners, inspectors, and just about anything else you might think of. I can't even imagine a more "full service" realtor. Having two different realtors at the same time, I was clearly able to compare and believe me, the Martone Group shines! Karl worked just as hard helping me with the real estate transaction he wasn't even getting paid for as he did on the home he sold me. If you want a realtor that works for you, the Martone Group is the only choice!

Thanks for everything!

Working with Karl Martone and his office was all I could have hoped for and more. The entire process was quick and painless with courteous, knowledgeable associates that guided us in the right direction. Karl predicted less than 3 months to close and he was right on the money. We look forward to working with Karl Martone in all future endeavors.

In an extremely challenging real estate market, everyone at The Martone Group kept working diligently on our behalf. The result was the sale of our house at a fair price that satisfied us and the buyer. We couldn't have asked for more than that. We would recommend The Martone Group to anyone as they are professional and well informed about the market they serve."

We just want to thank you for everything you've done to make our relocation and purchase of our house in Greenville a smooth process. Having only a few days to look, I was grateful for your organization with the showings, prompt response to our concerns and handling all of the inspection process for us. Being repeat customers, we knew the level of customer service from Karl and his group is second to none.

Thanks again!

My wife and I contacted 2 realtors prior to receiving the suggestion from a good friend to call Karl Martone to act as our realtor for the sale of our home. Karl was by far the most polite, realistic, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and professional of the 3 realtors we met and had an extensive network in which to publicize the sale of our home. After his presentation, we signed immediately. The activity began promptly and every step was handled superbly. Every question I had along the way was answered thoroughly and promptly. Shortly after our listing with Karl, the showings began and we had 2 offers within about a 2 week period. Though the market was a bit lethargic at the time, we had a good number of people come to see our home. The time of sale, negotiations were handled flawlessly by Karl and he was able to have the subsequent buyers raise their offer to be more in line with our expectations.

In short, Karl and Jen were a superb team and handled virtually every aspect of the sale; even arranging for top notch contractors to take care of the few items that needed to be done to the home prior to sale. It was a great relief indeed to have the few minor issues that arose handled so efficiently by Karl. I can say that without hesitation, now having purchased 4 homes and sold 2, Karl and Jen are a superb team and one that without hesitation, I would highly recommend. Selecting the Martone group is the wisest decision a seller, or perspective buyer could possible make, and I say this with all sincerity. I certainly plan to call the Martone group again when the time arises.

Finally, the supportive office staff was absolutely fabulous. Deb Nespolo and Jackie Kelly were exceedingly conscientious and thorough in handling all the paperwork details and any other little issues that came up. They are the perfect complement to Karl and Jen. Whether you are buying or selling, I cannot imagine a finer team of professionals with which to work. The Martone Group is, quite simply, the best there is!

Most sincerely,

"When my husband and I set out to buy a house, we started off with a different buyer's agent. This man was not very confident that we would find a house in our price range and was not very energetic about taking us out to look at the many houses we wanted to look at. After looking at the first house with him, he was pressuring us to buy it and was very exhasperated with us when we decided to keep looking. Enter Karl Martone, who was referred to us by our brother-in-law. Upon meeting Karl, Todd and I knew immediately that this was the man who was going to help us find "the" house, and he did! It did take us a while to find a home with some value in our price range, but Karl was with us all of the way. He always asked the right questions and followed through with research, in other words going above and beyond in getting us into a great home. We always felt that Karl was on our side and never did he show any impatience in our search. Once we did find our home, Karl brokered us a great deal and never backed down. He made us feel like we were his only priority (although we knew what a hard worker he is) and stuck with us right until the end, never passing us along to a colleague once we committed to a house. Todd and I have been in our new home for just about a year now and are expecting our first child in mid-April. Karl regularly keeps in touch with us and we actually miss our outings with Karl, he was alot of fun and definitely one of the most informed agents out there. Anytime I hear anyone talking about buying or selling a home, I always eagerly suggest Karl to assist them. He is the hardest working agent out there and we are so glad he was there for us!! Thanks Karl!"

Dear Karl,
We cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work and dedication to us over the last several years as we have bought and sold homes. Your work ethic comes through in the way you handle all aspects of the buying/selling process, from beginning to end. In the last year, with times being so tough, we encountered multiple “false starts” with various buyers for our home. It was hard not to be discouraged, but your expertise and perseverance helped us find a buyer that could complete the sale. You then put your focus on finding a home that was perfect for us…and we couldn’t be happier in our new home!

Most people don’t realize just how much coordination takes place in the last couple weeks and days of a sale/purchase, but the thoroughness, dedication and professionalism you and your team display throughout each transaction is why the process flows so smoothly. We really appreciate how much you are willing to utilize technology to facilitate everything from showings to paperwork. For a busy family with two kids, having most everything come through email saved a lot of time and effort.

We feel very fortunate to have worked with you and we recommend you without hesitation to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional Realtor.

Sincerely,
Richard and Lorilyn Hall

Dear Karl....

I wanted to thank you for all your help with getting Sarah and I into our beautiful new home. With the down economy we were facing, the fact that you were able to sell our condo within a couple weeks of the purchase of our new home really made it a smooth transition for us. You and your team provided great advice and service throughout the home buying/selling process. It was a pleasure to work with you and I will definitely recommend the Martone Group to my friends and family.

Much appreciated,
Jesse & Sarah Shibley

"We can't speak highly enough about the experience we had with Karl Martone and the Martone Group in selling our home. We had no idea how easy it would be and actually how much fun we would have.. No stress. No hassle. They took care of everything! The Martone Group members are true real estate professionals....They know real estate, they know the market and they make a real point of getting to know their customers and their needs. Karl was honest in his appraisal and suggestions for presenting our home. He used "state of the art" marketing techniques including videos that showed off the fine features of our home to buyers everywhere. Our home sold quickly - even in a poor market. While we were at closing, we told Karl, "if we had another house to sell, it would be yours to sell" and we really mean that. We are now happily living in our new home in Virginia but we will never forget that it was Karl Martone who got us here!"

"We were amazed when Martone Group sold our one-family home in Johnston in only four days! We then had the daunting task of trying to find a suitable one-level condo which would accept pets and move within two months. (We had to close on the Johnston home before the tax credit deadline for our buyers ran out). After viewing several condos with time running short, we finally found our beautiful condo but matters were further complicated in that it was a short sale. (Typically short sales are a real nightmare and take well in excess of the time we had.) Largely because we had signed on with Martone Group, the problems we encountered were worked out transparent to us. Martone Group is composed of the consummate professionals in their field and they were a cohesive, responsive group which worked to expedite matters so that both closings took place on schedule."
