TESTIMONIALS

Kent's knowledge of the real estate industry is exceptional and he was able to answer all of our difficult questions regarding price, the current market, and the future market, in-depth. Kent has a very professional and dependable way about him that made my husband and I very comfortable in purchasing our home. Kent gives a refreshing, new image of real estate agents that exceeds expectations and leaves you feeling reassured. The difference between Kent and all the other agents we have worked with in the past comes down to one thing, he truly cares about his clients and does everything in his power to get the results that were in our favor even though they weren't necessarily in his. His negotiating skills are very strong and his solid knowledge of the market gives him leverage over other agents while negotiating. This caused us to develop such a strong trust with Kent and we will be using him for all of our real estate investments in the future!

The Lundgreens

Kent was very helpful in locating and showing us houses that match our interests. Once we found a home we were interested in, he was extremely helpful in expediting and negotiating an offer. His experience and attention to detail helped us feel confident we were well represented. Once the offer was accepted, he also followed through and went above and beyond on many items to ensure the loan conditions were cleared on schedule. Even after closing, he has made himself available to help with a few home related issues that have come up. I highly recommend Kent and will work with him on our next real-estate transaction.”

The Browns

“Kent's knowledge and experience in investment real estate is impressive and helpful. He was able to purchase for me my ideal property to fit my portfolio needs. He was persistent and tenacious in the search and via negotiation enabled me to purchase the property under market. To top it off, after the sale was over and he got his check, he still proceeded to help me with repairs and upgrades. He met with contractors and made sure all work was done properly. Since I am 84 years old, he helped to keep my stress level to a minimum. I plan to purchase my next property through Kent.”

Norman S.

We hired Kent Martin to sell our condo located in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. He researched the neighborhood, put together a spreadsheet of comps, along with advantages and disadvantages of the comparable, and presented us with his suggested selling price. He walked through the unit and came up with a plan for the least capital investment with the best return, as well as having us fix some small things that would prevent any hang-ups in escrow.

Kent kept us updated through the entire process by email, phone, and text. He negotiated a fair price and we entered into escrow. During the escrow he arranged for the repair of a few items that we agreed to fix. We have been continually impressed by Kent's professionalism, as well as commitment to delivery what we, the sellers, expected from the transaction We would not hesitate to recommend Kent's services to any family member or friend and will use him in future real estate transactions.”

The Sai-Ngarms

“I had the pleasure of meeting Kent Martin at an open house on a Sunday in October, 2014.  I wasn’t ready to buy at that time, but Kent politely kept in contact with me until my timing was right.  Since that chance meeting, I have purchased a home with his keen guidance and unwavering support.

He led me through this buying process during a very uncertain time in my life by going many, many extra miles for me.  He made sure negotiations went seamlessly, escrow was handled without a hitch and that I was never asking too many questions.  Letters were mailed, pictures were taken, inspections were done on time….in a word….the entire experience with Kent was flawless.  He is a poised and professional young man who will continue to enjoy and grow a successful career in Real Estate.   Deservedly so.  I would wholeheartedly  recommend his service and expertise.”

He has the confidence and the knowledge that only comes with years of experience. At every step of the way he explained the options available and guided us with confidence and always with a smile. I would highly recommend anyone looking for help in real estate; whether buying or selling to contact Kent!”
