Martine helped us buy and sell our house and we had a great experience from beginning to end. She was incredibly helpful, always available, and was willing to help us navigate buying a house with four people.
Martine is fantastic. With her help, I bought my first home. She helped me navigate the homebuying process, even with my particularly difficult-to-work-with lender, and made me feel like a priority. She was very accessible and responsive--in fact, when the house I'd been watching finally came on the market, she helped me put in an offer on it less than 45 minutes after it listed, after business hours, on her birthday. She's persistent, honest, and knowledgeable as a realtor, and she's a delightful person to be around.
My husband and I had an excellent experience working with Martine. We were new to the area at the time of purchase and had no idea where to start. Martine was helpful guiding us to find the right neighborhoods in which to look, and she had a great feel for how things should be priced in today's market. We ended up with an excellent home that provides us the perfect opportunity to enjoy living here while also making some renovations and reselling for a profit when it's time. We never felt rushed, and Martine was able to answer many questions for us as we navigated through the inspection, the negotiations, and ultimately, the virtual closing. Highly recommend!
Martine very patiently helped me navigate old home issues and my own personal attachment issues with my sweet little 100 year old house. I wasn't truly ready to sell when I contacted her in May, but the sellers market was crazy and I felt pressured to sell. Martine never pressured me but very patiently stuck with me for over 6 months! Logically I knew I needed to sell but I was just not there emotionally when I initially contacted her. Martine is kind and patient and it is INCREDIBLY clear that she loves her work and that the commission she earns is secondary to the client relationships she builds. I have had several experiences with incompetent show boat realtors, and I am proud to say that Martine didn’t earn the nickname “heygirl3” during our time together lol. My previous realtor did more talking than listening. You won’t experience that with Martine. She is very observant and reads her clients. She is also smart and sensitive and I don’t think she has a greedy bone in her body! Martine is incredibly knowledgeable and hardworking. She earned EVERY cent of the commission she made when we sold my home. Martine very gently but persistently prodded me when I needed a nudge, and eventually got me to the finish line! What a relief! Thanks for everything Martine. Love you MATE!

Martine Locke was a pleasure to work with. She was extremely knowledgeable about current market trends, had a strong understanding of my needs as an investor, and did an excellent job providing unbiased information that allowed me to make an informed, sound investment purchase. She was always available, which was crucial for being competitive in today's hot market. In addition, she worked tirelessly to find me leads on investment properties with solid potential and gave me excellent advice about how to construct my offer in a way that would increase my chances of getting it accepted before other competitive buyers in this hot seller's market. Martine went above and beyond to help me seal the deal on my investment property and I strongly recommend her as a top investor-friendly real estate agent!

This is our third sale with Martine and we've also purchased three properties with her help. She's ready to work with, responsive, gives solid advice and selling with her is minimum hassle! We had an accepted offer on our property within 24 hours and even though the buyer needed a lot in terms of inspections, it was easy with Martine's help. 10/10 recommend this realtor!
Martine helped me navigate this sale that was very bitter sweet for me. I couldn’t have done it without her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great agent.
Martine has the best combination of skills, knowledge, communication, speedy responses, honest opinions, and genuineness that made my home buying process a very positive one. Quite frankly, it was fun and enjoyable when in the past it has been very stressful. Martine knows what she’s doing and also explains things and helps you understand things in a very understandable way. She’s very user-friendly, incredibly quick to respond and take action, and really prioritized my needs and wishes, however small or seemingly insignificant. I will most definitely work with Martine again and I have referred many friends and colleagues to her since our work together. Several have worked with her and have had the same amazing experiences. 10/10
Martine was wonderful in getting our home staged, listed, and sold QUICKLY. The very professional staging and photography she provided really took our condo to the next level. She's so professional and doesn't try to push or intimidate. We are so thankful to have had her to navigate everything with us!
I had a wonderful experience buying a house with Martine's help. I am a single, first time home buyer new to the area. Buying a house was scary to me, there was a lot of terminology and numbers to wrap my head around. I was definitely intimidated by the process. Martine was super patient, answered all my questions and made sure I felt comfortable. She was super thorough when we went to see houses. She took a lot of time pointing out potential problems and solutions. She's direct, laid back, kind and friendly. She's also got the scoop on everything Irvington! I'd highly recommend you use her for your home search.
