“From the moment I met Martin I felt assured he understood my priorities and what I was looking for. His warmth and professionalism made what I thought would be a boring and tiresome process, something interesting and actually fun. Being a first time home buyer, I had many questions and he never failed to answer any of those. I honestly felt he had my best interests at heart at all times especially during the negotiation process and I must say, Martin is an expert at that. Thanks Martin! You made it look like a pleasant walk in the park.” - Daniel C. Etobicoke, Ontario

"Martin, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you again for all your help in finding our new home. After meeting you at one of your open houses, my husband and I knew you would be a great real estate agent to work with when we started our search. After telling you the exact area in Etobicoke that we wanted to live, you immediately set out with a plan to help us. One wintery morning, we were very pleasantly surprised to see you out knocking on doors of homes in our chosen area. From this door to door search you were able to show us a few homes that had yet to be listed for sale. When we did find the home we eventually purchased, you informed us of the listing before it even hit the MLS. Martin, we believe that you were also instrumental in the subsequent sale of our home at 31 Renault Crescent in Etobicoke. We appreciate you always being in constant contact with us during the sale and guiding us through what ended up as a multiple offer situation. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and going the extra mile for us. Even once all the real estate transactions were complete, you always stayed in touch and visited us on the day of closing and at Christmas. We were completely satisfied with your services and would definitely use you again in the future. I have already recommended you to friends and neighbours, and will continue to recommend you again in the future. - Susan and Jay R. Etobicoke, Ontario

Dear Martin, Just wanted to send a Big Thank You. You were very helpful in my journey of selling my home of almost 20 years. I was so sceptical , but you brought assurance, trust and comfort into this journey. I could not have done it without your professional advice , your teams help and most of all your honesty and knowledge. You made selling my home an amazing adventure. Although there were hurdles between the multiple offers and the short closing and the purchase of my new home, you reassured me it would all be worth it. "You Were Right”, and you made selling my home an effortless journey. Although what seemed an impossible task, your personal attention helped me make the best decision a home owner can make. It takes amazing trust and through your dedication, you made me believe. Today I am loving my New Home, Best choice ever. Thank You, Thank You to your family and Team - Angela D. Toronto, Ontario

We are extremely grateful to Martin Eckert for all his help selling our house late last fall. We’re quite sure "the Martin advantage" is what made it possible to get our house ready for sale and sold in such a short space of time, that time of year. We'd met other agents before Martin and none were able to tell us whether our humble, older two-bedroom bungalow was more likely a tear-down or a property that would be lived in. We didn’t want to make pointless repairs that might be a waste of money. Martin was the only one with any confidence it would not be a tear-down. Martin reviewed all the repairs we thought we needed to make, and eliminated many of them as unnecessary for sale. For most that remained, he arranged tradesmen to do the work, at his expense. He met with us frequently during this process to discuss progress and offer advice - and to keep us moving and motivated, when necessary! He checked in often and was easily accessible. He also wasn’t afraid to get his hands dirty, literally, helping get planters together in the back yard. In the end he and his staff made our house look stunning. His recommendation on pricing was spot-on and even generated a small bidding war which saw us sell the house above asking in six days. At the time of sale we had a toddler and another due in a few months. Moving to a bigger house as soon as possible was crucial, and thanks to Martin we were able to sell our old house quickly and move on and up. He gave us and our modest property his full attention and energy and treated us with generosity, respect and honesty. He redefined what we might previously have considered an expectation of "value added" in a realtor. We haven't nearly listed all the extras Martin provides as this note is already too long. Martin is truly the gold standard and we couldn't recommend him more highly. - Scott and Dalia Etobicoke, Ontario
