"This law firm has acted as trustee and lawyer for clients who have conducted property transactions all over the country. In June of 2015, one of our clients purchased real property in Arizona through Bob Martz and RE/MAX Fine Properties. The experience made it clear that Bob is truly an exceptional agent with unique skills perfectly suited to his profession. From the outset, Bob went above and beyond to ensure that the transaction was seamless, straight forward and overall pleasant. The care and thoughtfulness which with Bob conducts himself was exemplified by his treatment of our client’s acquired personal property; ensuring that all the property included with the deal went to the correct place thanks to a thorough and exhaustive photo documentation process. As we were conducting business with Bob across the country, the photo documentation he provided – often unsolicited – gave us a peace of mind that our client was receiving every nickel and every item he had bargained for. If you are looking at property in Arizona, and especially if you are conducting business from out of state, choosing Bob will ensure a fast, painless and trouble-free experience with the peace of mind that only comes from dealing with a top quality agent."
by Morrissey, Hawkins and Lynch"For some people buying a second home, or for that matter a first home, hundreds of miles away is nothing to stress over but for us, it was. Wonderful weather, great people, large selection and reasonable prices made the decision to buy a home in the Scottsdale and Phoenix area easy, the hard part was finding the right one, at the right location with the right price. Lucky for us we found a Realtor who wrote the book on customer service, local market knowledge and the ability to work with a client on the other side of the country. Bob Martz worked with us to make a stressful process exciting and enjoyable. From day one he listened to what we were looking for and put our words into action. We received daily listings in locations we were interested in at the price range we wanted. When it came time to travel down to Arizona to look at some homes, Bob made himself available and worked with us to put together our preferred homes list. He was able to arrange for us to visit a dozen homes on our schedule (and probably at the expense of his own) over a hectic weekend. We found the perfect vacation home. It was just what we were looking for and more. The house was beautifully updated, in a nice area with the backyard that screamed “entertain your friends!” Bob helped us negotiate a fair price, which resulted in a hassle free sale. But just as important, Bob stayed engaged all the way through the inspections, financing and the closing. Heck, even after the closing Bob continued with issues he easily could have wrote off as “not his concern”. We have bought several homes and while none were real estate horror stories, neither were they even close to the home buying experience we enjoyed with Bob. So, if you are looking for the real estate professional who truly puts your needs first, without hesitation we say, look up Bob Martz, you won’t be disappointed you did!"
by Pat & Kim Claus"Bob Martz was an excellent agent. He met all of my needs, especially with his availability (always there to take my calls and handle any items that came up) and understanding of the market. Bob walked me through what he thought we needed to do to get my home sold, and with his advice, I had multiple offers on the first day! Bob remained available through closing, making sure I was comfortable with the process from beginning to end and went the extra mile for me making sure all my needs were met and questions or concerns were handled immediately. I highly recommend Bob Martz to future home buyers and sellers."
by Paul Didonno"I feel like we won the realtor lottery when Bob responded to my Zillow inquiry. We were looking for a home here in Arizona while living in Iowa. Having lived in Iowa all my life, the prospect of finding a house here was very intimidating. Bob and his associate, Misty, made it much less stressful. This is my 4th home. Bob and Misty went above and beyond my previous realtors countless ways. When we flew out here to find a home, they dedicated several days to us and only showed us homes that met our criteria. Once we found our perfect home, they were on top of all the details--financing, inspections, negotiations. We were able to finalize everything in Iowa. When negotiations faltered, Bob talked to the sellers and got us back on track. You won't find a harder working realtor than Bob and Misty. I highly recommend them."
by Theresa Hoffman"We asked Bob and Misty to find a new home for my daughter and I. Our needs list was long, budget limited, the geographic area for our search was narrow and our available times for showings added to a challenging undertaking. We know from their qualifications, that the property that we sought was much more basic than their typical client. Bob and Misty took the care and consideration of me and my needs, as I’m sure any of their other clients are provided. They accepted the challenge, knowing that the process may be long and their financial returns much less than they are probably accustomed. They trusted me to be a loyal person of my word, and me of Bob and Misty. Patiently and thoughtfully, Bob and Misty brought options to us. At each showing, where we had questions, confident and professional responses were provided and if unsure or they didn’t know the answer, Bob and Misty were able to find the answers to our questions. Both Bob and Misty were excellent in keeping me informed, answering and acknowledging my calls, emails and texts with incredible speed. The level of customer service that they provided to me was that which made me feel valued and as if I were their most important client. Their honesty and integrity in this process provided me with the confidence that I was making a sound and educated decision on the purchase of my new home."
by Renne Hanson"We came upon Bob Martz when we were in Portland Oregon looking on the web for a bigger home to purchase in Scottsdale. I had requested online for additional information on a listing that was not Bob's and within minutes we received a call from Bob. This was quite a surprise to us because we had actually phoned listing realtors for other homes in Scottsdale and received no response. Bob was so personable that we told him within minutes into the conversation that he would be our realtor. He immediately started emailing us listings. I made a trip to Scottsdale to look at homes and always found Bob available for any showing. We did find a home and Bob was in constant contact with us through out the buying process. If you want a realtor that gives you that personal touch and is always available to talk, contact Bob Martz. In our opinion, he's the best!!"
by Donna Murphy"I initially met Bob at an open house in Grayhawk. We weren’t actively looking for a new property, I was just checking out areas of interest. However, we knew that we would eventually want a larger home so we decided to look at open houses to get some ideas. I was immediately impressed with Bob. He was incredibly knowledgeable and very interested in meeting us and hearing about our interests. He knew we weren’t actively in the market yet he asked for our contact information and permission to stay in touch. We agreed. After a few months a home that we were very interested in seeing, but still weren’t sure if we were ready to purchase, went on the market. I remember saying to him “Bob, would you be open to seeing a house that I know we’re not ready to buy yet? “He happily agreed and that really became the start of our commitment to working with Bob. I was so completely impressed that he was willing to take the time to look at it with us when he knew we most likely wouldn’t buy it. He was incredibly professional and I was also very impressed with how he interacted with the homes listing agent. He came fully prepared with comps and market knowledge on buying/ selling prices. Over the next couple of years, we looked a handful of homes with Bob. Again, Bob NEVER made us feel rushed to purchase. We knew we would find the right house and we were very patient to wait it out! Bob was just as patient and continued to follow up with us when he found something that he knew we would like. Fortunately, our ABSOLUTE dream house came back on the market after selling some three years ago. We immediately put our house on the market and with Bob’s advice, INCREDIBLE photos and marketing we had over 20 showings in just the first two weeks! We received an offer quickly and after tough negotiations from Bob we had an accepted contract. We were so incredibly thankful to him! We finally were able to close and can say that due to Bob, we sold our house in 2 weeks and for the top PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT in one of the most highly desired areas in North Scottsdale – DC Ranch. We can’t thank Bob enough!"
by Tracy and Tim Hayden“I had the pleasure of working with Bob on the purchase of our house in Phoenix and the sale of our house in Scottsdale. Bob was attentive to my requests and needs, was always available when I needed to discuss options, was knowledgeable of the markets and kept us up to date with the latest listings and market changes. Bob also made our life easy with the use of technology tools to make the transaction painless and as easy as possible. I enjoyed working with Bob and highly suggest you consider using Bob as your Realtor.”
by Jeff Miller"It was a pleasure working with Bob to purchase a new home for my mother. He was professional, honest and had a really good handle on the real estate market in North Scottsdale. He listened to the list of criteria that were needed to relocate my mother to Arizona and made it his mission to find the perfect place for her to call home. We looked at more houses than I can count within a two month period and Bob never once rushed or hurried us through the process. He always listened and gave good solid advice on homes that we toured. When we decided to make an offer on her new home he quickly pulled comps and walked us through making a smart offer based on the market. He handled the negotiations and inspections in a professional manner. This was all done quickly and with Bob keeping us updated and informed. We really felt that we had Bob working with us for the very best outcome. We appreciate the time and energy Bob spent on our real estate search and we couldn't be more thrilled with her new home."
by Jennifer and Mike Fitzgerald"Bob was a true professional in every way. He was very knowledgeable and communicated with us constantly throughout our process. He supported us and gave great advice through the typical ups and downs of a transaction. Hard working and always available, I would highly recommend Bob Martz."
by Frank Signorile"Due to a job relocation, we needed to act fairly quickly to sell our existing Bay Area property and purchase a new home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Fortunately, our first inquiry and contact with a local realtor was with Bob Martz, who after just one meeting and conversation confirmed for us that we had found the right agent to guide us through the entire, and often complicated, process. We presented Bob with some very unique challenges along the way, especially since at the time we were living in two different states, didn’t have a specific budget; and had some very vague requirements for the location, size, property type, and amenities of our desired new home. At every step, Bob carefully listened to our needs and concerns, patiently advised us in a real estate market we didn’t know, answered every question we asked, thoroughly researched, each property, and provided the most professional and trustworthy information we could have hoped for from an exceptionally competent realtor. Bob is the realtor everyone needs and should select if they want someone they can trust. We can state that with great certainty, and without doubt or regret, as one of us didn’t even step foot in our perfect, new home until the day before close of escrow."
by Brian and Keith Kravitz"After living 14 years in Europe , in the spring of 2014 we felt it was time to return to the USA. You can only do so much long distance research and house hunting online and with limited time to spend on a relocation trip to Phoenix. We were quite fortunate to be assisted by Bob Martz and his team in quickly gaining “an insiders view” to life in the Greater Phoenix area while viewing numerous interesting houses. As my time ran short, a “last effort” visit with Bob brought us the house we really wanted and did indeed buy. Everything after the initial offer was managed and executed at a distance of 5,000 miles and a 9 hour time difference. Bob’s role was critical in all subsequent price negotiations, home inspection, and other issues. I felt well cared for and attended to during entire process in spite of the distance and time difference. The ease and viability of using E-signatures was a pleasant surprise and thanks to Bob’s management of things the entire buying process went smoothly. I can, without reservation, recommend Bob Martz to anyone seeking a competent, knowledgeable, friendly and very effective real estate professional. Thanks, Bob!"
by David Kelly"Please use this testimony to let you know that we were very pleased with the effort Mr. Martz put in for us in buying a home in Scottsdale, AZ. Bob was very professional in all ways during the buying process and knew exactly what to tell us as the sale proceeded from beginning to close of escrow. He spent his own time being there for the inspection of the home and also for the various sub-contractors that provided necessary repairs to the home. We would recommend Bob to anyone looking to buy or sell their home as his work ethics are a credit to his industry. I spent 28 plus years in the new home construction business here in Colorado and worked with many agents over that period of time so I feel qualified in making this recommendation.Thank you."
by Gerry Wambold"We are finally getting settled into the new house and loving it! We would like to thank you again for the exceptional job you did in helping us with the purchase of our home and my parent’s home. We interviewed several Realtors from the Fountain Hills area while we were still living across the country and you definitely stood out in terms of your experience and knowledge of the area. We are so happy with the home we purchased and could not imagine living anywhere else, my parents are very happy too. We especially appreciate the dedication, availability and hard work you did for us while making sure everyone else was also doing what needed to be done, negotiating the contract, finding us a good lender, securing the inspection, using the latest and greatest technology available to make it a breeze to navigate through the "real estate" paperwork, doing errands for us and taking additional pictures at a moments notice while we were still out of state and out of the country and finally taking the time to go over all the details of getting us settled. Bob, you have always maintained the perfect balance of professionalism, good humor, patience, understanding and diplomacy while negotiating 2 home purchases at the same time with one of them appraising at 20k above the negotiated price! You have been a true delight to work with on a personal level as well, reassuring us and comforting us through the stressful task of closing on 2 houses from abroad. Based on our experiences with selling and purchasing several homes before this one, you have, by far, been the best real estate agent that we have worked with and we would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a real estate agent. Once again, thanks for a job well done!"
