Working with Courtney and Angela of the Courtney Martinez Team was reassuring and based on a professional understanding of the kind of home I wanted and hoped to buy. They gave me so much confidence in their preparations and search for a Williamsburg home for me. Courtney and Angela are accessible, experienced, responsive, great listeners and easy to talk with. This team was attentive to detail while also patiently answering my questions and concerns and while working with the seller’s agent and title company. Keenly aware of the Williamsburg market, they devoted time to keeping me abreast of market trends from our very first discussions. I was focused on the Colonial Heritage (CH) area, and they helped me understand the market in CH and the possibility that not many homes that fit my criteria might come on the market within my timeline. Since I originally thought I wouldn’t relocate from Austin for a year and a half, I felt I’d be able to get my Austin home on the market and sold and find a Williamsburg home in that order. During this time, the team shared listings as they came on the market and we talked by phone about the area, different layouts and listing and sale prices. The information they were sharing - and lots of quiet thinking about what I REALLY needed - made clear that I shouldn’t postpone actively looking for a home in Williamsburg and get my Austin home ready for that market. In the event I found a Williamsburg home and needed to close on that before my Austin home sold, I asked Courtney to share the names of several mortgage lenders and she suggested I get pre-approved should that be needed to fit any short-term financing needs. Since I was still in Austin and couldn’t come back to Williamsburg for more showings, they sent a regular stream of listings to me. Quite unexpectedly, we found a home I wanted to buy and knew we had to move quickly. They quickly scheduled two, very thorough, remote showings and pointed out important things about the property I needed to see. Courtney’s negotiations with the seller’s agent yielded a fair selling price and better than expected closing date. Our final offer was quickly accepted, heightening the need for a timely sale of my Austin home. Because, with Courtney's help, I had already found the perfect lender who helped me with just the right loan to cover the brief time between buying and selling, everything came together for me to move just a week after closing on my Austin house. The creative, logical and informed ideas, extensive experience and resources and realistic outlook that Courtney and Angela brought to our discussions was so helpful. We worked so harmoniously together. They were always friendly and very responsive and, more than all that, their planning, thinking and expectation of a good outcome - whatever that would be - made me fully trust them throughout the buying process. I highly recommend working with the Courtney Martinez team!

Courtney was such a pleasure to work. As first time homebuyers in a tough market, she really walked us through the process and helped us stay positive. Most importantly, she was focused on our needs and what was best for us, not just on making a sale. Her knowledge of the industry and local area is top notch. We highly recommend her to anyone.

When we decided to sell our home to pursue jobs closer to family in another state, we knew we were facing a difficult move with lots of uncertainties and logistical challenges. We needed to time everything just right, and Courtney and Angela made our sale and closing happen at just the right time! Their expert guidance helped us get the most out of our sale, and while it was still a stressful time, they did everything possible to make it easier for us. We are so thankful for their help!

Courtney is a phenomenal realtor. She is very knowledgeable about negotiating and the area. She was able to help us land our dream home in a crazy competitive market. We trusted her expertise so much that we purchased the house without physically seeing it because we weren't able to come into town. You will not be disappointed if you choose her!

She was extremely knowledgeable and responsive.

Steve was such a blessing to us during our house search. He was very patient and helpful, listening to what we wanted even when we changed our minds. He never pushed us into making a decision. He was always ready and willing to view homes and gather information from agents, builders, and tradesmen when we had questions. We highly recommend Steve and will be using him to list our previous home when we are ready to put it on the market.

She helped me understand the real estate market and details that I have no experience with.
