Our experience with Martinique was amazing-we couldn t have asked for anything more! We were new to the area and didn t understand a lot of the process or the things we should be paying attention to, and she was really understanding and HONEST. That meant a lot to us. She was always trying to understand exactly what we needed to pay to win each bid, but was never pushy and helped us to be reasonable and set our expectations. She pointed out things about houses that would be dealbreakers, but in a way that was lighthearted and made the experience more enjoyable. We don t have a car, and she kindly offered to drive us around to listings, even if they were sometimes really far. Even after closing, she continues to support us by contacting the listing broker every couple of days or so to get more information on the house, and to resolve any issues. Overall, she is just a fun and pleasant person to be around, and we would recommend her to anyone.Our story is that we unexpectedly came across an amazing listing a few weeks before going on a long overseas vacation, and we didn t have service for a few days close to closing and had to handle signing remotely! Martinique handled everything smoothly and professionally when we were gone, in spite of us going with a national lender (against her recommendation) who was a bit difficult to deal with and needed a lot of extra documentation. We also faced issues because of the appraisal coming in late, which was also the fault of the lender. We almost lost the EMD because of them, but Martinique managed to smooth things over. I don t think we would have been able to close without her!Martinique is a local, having been born and raised in Oakland, and purchased here several times as well. We were living in SF prior to the purchase, so it was super helpful to have her local knowledge and information!

Martinique was highly professional throughout my time working with her. She really cares about finding you your dream home or property! Cant recommend her enough. I would work with her again no problem.

Martinique was quite the hustler during a hectic and competitive buying period in 2021. Great responsiveness and energy for all of my property tours. She was able to break down many concepts for me as a first-time home buyer. Super knowledgeable about the East Bay market--thanks much!

Highly Recommended!Martinique guided me through the entire process of selling my home in Feb 2021. Months before we put the house on the market, she met with me and gave me advice on what items in the house to repair, replace or leave as-is. Based on these discussions, I ended up doing some major work including a new roof and landscaping. Martinique brought in a stager who put on the finishing touches. These repairs and upgrades greatly contributed to a high sale price. Because of her hands-on approach, every detail was handled with minimum fuss and at a high level of professionalism. When we put the house on the market, we had 3 offers with-in 4 days......all significantly over the asking price. The final negotiation with the selected buyer was easy and quick, thanks to Ms. Petty.
