Dear Martin Thank you for working with us on the sale of our home on Downpatrick Cres.. Selling our house was a huge decision, and part of that decision was to use a realtor,. but who to use was the question we asked ourselves over and over after interviewing 4 other realtors. Why did we finally settle on you? - you had a huge presence in our area and were representing many home sellers. You were very personable and yet not pushy. After deciding upon yourself there were other elements that confirmed we had made the right decision. First, was the process you go through in order for a home to look it's best, your suggestions and the staging were a big bonus. The final result was amazing and it showed in the photography of our home. Second, was your knowledge of the real estate market, from the marketing of the house sale itself to your pricing strategy. You were always very confident in your approach, while still open to our suggestions. The final outcome was the selling of our home well over asking, something everyone was surprised by. You said you were a take charge kind of person and that you were. Thank you again for all your help and availability as we made the transition to our new home. - Josie 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

 "Energetic would be an appropriate description of Martin Eckert's approach to his profession. It was his appearances in the neighbourhood to draw attention to listings, whether his own, or others, that encouraged us to enlist his assistance in selling our house and acquiring a condominium. That he fulfilled these tasks with zeal integrity and with a satisfying conclusion, in a short period of time, is an acknowledgement of his skills and dedication." - Wilfred and Huguette S. Toronto, Ontario

“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
