Stephen’s Testimonials
“To any potential seller or buyer considering using Steve Martinez, Flat out, we give Steve an unqualified reference for the service he provided to us. We believe that he would do the same for you. More specifically, with his background in business, executive management, and real estate, he brings an excellent balance of knowledge, professionalism, attention to detail, and negotiating skills. He is extremely knowledgeable about the local markets, and his attention to detail and documentation, means little chance of anything falling through the cracks. Even with this strong background, he will listen to input and suggestions, and where appropriate, incorporate them into the process. We would recommend him to any of our business acquaintances, friends, or family. More importantly, if we were buying or selling in the area again, we would definitely use Steve. “

“Steve has been our real estate agent for two significant transactions that closed within 90 days of each other. He identified and assisted us in the purchase of our new oceanfront home on Ponte Vedra Blvd in the 100 block. He worked with us for over 2 years to find the perfect property on the Blvd. During that time his knowledge of the local market; diligence in maintaining focus on the market with a system to alert us as soon as selected properties became available allowed us to get a jump on the competition and move quickly to make an offer on our final selection. His professional approach in the management of the entire sales transaction including the offer process; inspections and various steps through the closings was exceptional. His local community knowledge was extremely beneficial as this was a very significant purchase for us at the upper end of the market. Additionally Steve was very capable in assisting us with the listing and sale of our oceanfront condo once we had our oceanfront home under contract. That condo was listed and under contract within 4 days. Steve managed both transactions with excellent attention to detail and dedication to the various steps to closing both transactions. He has excellent organizations skills; local knowledge of the market and dedication to the needs of his clients. We would heartily recommend Steve for any and all your real estate needs. “

We obviously we were very pleased with our first experience. He was very professional, great attention to detail, and done so in a very timely manner. We can enthusiastically recommend Steve to handle any brokerage situation.”

“Steve represented us as buyers for a retirement residence in Ponte Vedra. Steve did an excellent job setting up a schedule of a dozen or so properties for our two day visit. Our knowledge of the area was somewhat limited. Steve took the first part of our visit to explain the area to us; everything from geography to economics, to wind patterns. He obviously knows the area very well. All of the properties he showed us were within our price range and general parameters. There was no wasted time and he always pointed out distances to essential services at each property he showed us as well as the pros and cons of each location and property. He knows the “inside baseball” of St. Johns County. We settled on one of the properties and put in an offer which was accepted. We closed in July, 2015. Before making the offer, Steve was very focused on making sure we were comfortable with the property as well as a move to Ponte Vedra. He handled the contract negotiations with dispatch and advised very artfully on issues of importance to a buyer, such as what to ask for in the contract, the offer price, etc. He also lined up all persons necessary for the various inspections that had to occur (structural, pool, insect, etc.). Everyone he brought in was professional and knew the property quite well. He also lined up craftsmen to make some alterations we wanted to make to the property. Steve gave us all the information necessary for transition of ownership of the property to our name and account. This was particularly valuable to us since we were not going to move down for several months. During the transition period, Steve has also periodically looked in on the property to make sure that it remains secure and that all systems are in working order. The bottom line here is that Steve is a trusted professional that I now consider a friend. You can’t go wrong with him as your broker.”

“If you are in need of a reliable, knowledgeable real estate professional to help you buy or sell your home, you are making a mistake if you don’t hire Steve Martinez to handle the job.My brother and I needed to prepare our Dad’s home for sale and then get it on the market quickly. Both of us are extremely busy and were very pressed for time. Steve stepped in and took great care to make sure the repair work on the property was completed in a timely manner and had the home listed in no time. Steve’s willingness to go the extra mile to get things done, his professionalism, attention to detail, negotiating skills, and commitment to closing the sale on our behalf was extraordinary. Don’t even think twice about it. Whether you are buying or selling a home, enlist Steve Martinez’ services and I promise you that he’ll get the job done while you enjoy peace of mind during the process.”
