Martha was a gem from start to finish.  What came through loud and clear is that she really enjoys her work.  We looked at many, many homes and she never lost patience or hope, despite our modest budget.  She was extremely attentive and prompt in answering all of our phone calls and emails.  Martha was always good humored and flexible, and was creative and bold in problem solving when our purchase, a probate sale with an FHA loan, was in jeopardy due to red tape. She is very well connected in the East Bay real estate community, and this helped her to deal with the challenges that presented themselves along the way (she knew and was friendly with the selling agent, for example).  Martha has a client for life and I recommend her without reservation!  We are lucky to have found her, as there’s no way this deal would have gone through with a lesser agent (and we got a fantastic deal).

“As a first time home buyer in this whirlwind market, I was lucky enough to work with Martha Hill. Martha was the steady, smooth and calming force that helped me through the home search, the offer and closing. Her knowledge of Oakland was incredibly beneficial in the home search. Her sharp eye and knowledge of building structure and style provided me with crucial information in the decision process, and for the future, maintaining the value of my home. All of this while keeping my specific interests in mind, Martha was truly an agent for the buyer.”

“Martha was an invaluable resource when I was looking for a house in Berkeley. Having grown up in the East Bay, she was able to show me a range of houses that fit my criteria and worked with my lifestyle. She helped me narrow my choices, determine priorities, and ultimately write an offer that was accepted. Martha's sharp, easy to work with and knowledgeable about housing trends. She's the top choice when you're looking to buy in the East Bay.”
