Mike picked up the ball another realtor had dropped. Within two weeks he had had two open houses and scheduled several showings, resulting in an offer a short time later. If you want a committed, hard-working realtor, look no further than Mike.
Of course his knowledge of the basics of real estate is strong. But his willingness to take care of every aspect of the process goes above and beyond others. His participation doesnt stop until the closing money has changed hands. I could go on and on, but simply put, you need this guy on your side.
Mike is a skilled realtor, expertly reading both buyers and sellers, and coaching his clients through many iterations of decision making, if needed. He will offer his insights and opinions if requested, but will never try to force the client into “doing it his way.” Mike puts you in the driver seat, but has a knack for knowing precisely how much assistance is desired from each client. Our recent closing worked out well, and we were under contract in a reasonable amount of time - which seems to be a difficult trick, lately, for many of our neighbors in this buyer’s market. We were glad to have Mike on our team.
Mike is the best! He is hard working for his client. He came over a few time to see my condo and scope out so that he can set it up to look it’s absolute best, still keeping the flavor of my home! He has an amazing eye for making your home look desirable to the eye of the buyers looking online !
From day 1 we knew Mike was our agent. He not only sold us our brand new home, he found it, made several construction site visits, with video updates, and guided us through the process of buying a new construction home even though we were 1,500 miles away the entire time. He also sold our existing condo in record time even though other properties similar properties remain on the market. His professional approach to listing, marketing and closing a sale are second to none! Thanks, Mike for your incredible commitment to your craft!
I initially called Mike about one of his listings, and was not intending to hook up with a realtor quite yet. As an out of state buyer, I had also never purchased a property in Florida before. While the property I called about was not right for me, Mike was so personable and knowledgeable, I quickly knew he was the right realtor for me; no BS; absolute professionalism. After reviewing multiple listings Mike sent to me, I flew down to Sarasota and did a two day marathon viewing houses. As a recent retiree who has renovated several homes through the years, I had promised myself I would not buy another fixer upper, but when you find the right home, you have to go with it. Mike educated me about the pros and cons and local regulations regarding the property. With me back North, Mike attended all of the inspections (property, sewer, mold, pool) and kept in close contact with me. He helped me to negotiate an excellent buying price, and also to obtain temporary housing during the renovation. It has been several weeks since the closing, and Mike continues to assist me and be available for questions and obstacles. I don't think I could have done this without his help, dedication and knowledge (without losing my sanity lol). I have nothing but accolades for Mike. If you want a top notch realty agent, without question, contact Mike Martino!
Mike loves his job. You can tell because he’s very knowledgeable about real estate. He’s very thorough about details and kept me informed and up-to-date at all times.
Mike was recommended from a co-worker and we took a chance. It was a great experience from his communication to the hours he put in for us. Moving from out of state we had a lot to learn here in Florida. Mike was great at explaining all the nuances vs our old state. He did a great job with us helping to find a lawyer and loan as well. We really wish he was able to be our realtor in NC but 1 out of 2 isn’t bad. 100% would use Mike for every real estate transaction.
My husband and I recently worked with Mike Martino, “realtor extraordinaire,” on the preparation and sale of our Siesta Key home. The house had been our sole residence for 16 years, and it was full of items that reflected the many memories collected during our lives. Mike coached us on all things necessary to sell our house, and his team of reliable contractors helped with packing, cleaning, painting, and landscaping. Although we were in a buyer’s market, our house was under contract within the first week. Thank you, Mike, for your infinite patience!
Mike Martino is a rare find! I met Mike ten years ago when he helped an out of town friend buy and sell an investment property on Siesta Key. I was impressed with Mike’s attention to detail and how he went above and beyond expectations for my friend ... from start to finish. Simply put, Mike knows the marketplace and provides an incredible level of service. Since then, I have worked with Mike on several transactions. A young realtor asked me recently if I worked with a real estate agent. I mentioned Mike Martino, who he knew. He asked me what exactly Mike does that’s great. I told him that Mike is knowledgeable, honest, experienced and he exceeds expectations every time I work with him. Earlier this year, he was incredibly smart in a negotiation. Where another realtor may have gotten in the way of a sale, Mike’s insight and experience helped to close the deal. He also fought for me when a buyer’s closing agent tried to slip additional costs into the final closing documents. Mike is thorough and patient when guiding me through the sales process and takes time to explain the details … and there are numerous details that come up during the life of a transaction. He stays one step ahead so we stay on schedule. Mike also listened to my input along the way. He is available. If Mike doesn’t pick up my call, he always gets right back to me. Over the course of 5 years, he has never once forgotten to call me back. Mike is experienced and resourceful. He has connected me to accountants, appraisers, cleaning services, staging companies, lawn care, and others. In terms of going above and beyond, he helped me stage my home with some of his own personal items … He also hired a crew to clean up my back yard of tree limbs when I wasn’t available to do so. I've recommended Mike to friends!
“You must use Mike Martino. He’s the best,” a friend told me when we were planning to put our condo on the market. Flash forward a few months. Mike not only helped us declutter, facilitated storage, staged our condo to perfection and arranged stunning photography, he got us into contract between two major hurricanes. As a former realtor myself, I was impressed by his depth knowledge of market conditions, timing and pricing. While other properties in our community have been lingering on the market for many months ours sold in a month. So without qualification I’d say, “ you must use Mike Martino. He’s the best.”
Mike is one of the most amazing realtor my husband and I have ever worked with! His knowledge of the area was incredible and his willingness to help with questions and concerns made you feel very comfortable to work with him. He definitely goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy. We have recommended Mike to our out of state friends and will continue to do so as he is genuinely a great & honest person!
