Why choose me as your real estate professional?

I look at the process of buying or selling a home from your perspective. Having been through personally buying and selling a home many times I know that it is a very stressful time for everyone involved. It’s not just about how many bedrooms and bathrooms you need, it’s about making everyone comfortable about this important decision. Whether it’s your spouse, kids, parents, pets or other family and friends there are many elements to consider when successfully buying or selling a home. Having a trusted resource for recommendations on schools, contractors, mortgage funding, home inspectors, doctors, vets, clubs etc… it helps in the transition to have someone you can count on.

90% of my business comes from referrals from friends and past clients I strive to meet even the most demanding expectations of my clients. My goal is to build your trust and confidence so that you will soon be both a client and a friend.

My fiancé and I found the perfect new home in Dublin to start our new life together, the problem was that we both needed to sell our respective homes fast. We contacted Marty to handle the sale of my fiancé’s condo in Dublin. We had a tight deadline in order for us to be able close on our new home on time.
Marty was up for the challenge and after making one price reduction, a buyer was found. Marty quickly worked to get all the required documents completed for the sale and we were going to make the deadline for our new home, we at least we thought we were. As it turns out things didn’t go that smoothly. The buyer wasn’t able to secure her financing on time and if it hadn’t been for Marty we would have been left in the dark. The buyer’s agent wasn’t returning calls and Marty dug in and made direct contact with the mortgage broker. He also spoke on our behalf to the builder of our new home about the delay.
We ended up being delayed about 25 days in our close and it could have been longer without Marty’s help and guidance. Through it all he kept his calm demeanor which was a great comfort to my fiancé and I. We ended up getting our new dream home even with the delay.
I hope no one has to go through a close like my fiancé and I did with the sale of her home, but if you do we recommend you have someone like Marty on your side.

I was referred to Marty by two long time acquaintances who are experienced and successful international real estate investors, so I already expected to be in good hands before I even met Marty. My actual experience in working with him over the course of several months completely met and exceeded my high expectations. Here is just a bullet list highlighting some of Marty’s excellence when he helped to sell my home:
— Regularly provided timely and thorough analysis of real estate trends locally, regionally, and statewide. His analysis was always derived from authoritative sources and well documented.
— His opinions of the condition and value of my home were always candid and to the point; and he was always able to substantiate his opinions with regularly updated comps, plus his years of experience.
— Extremely prompt and courteous communications. Marty was always the first to contact me and provide information on each step of the listing and sale process. I never had to call him to ask what’s going on.
— Well networked with local contractors who helped expedite the preparation of my home for sale, saving me time and money.
— Detailed oriented. Marty was very attentive to every physical detail of my home and ensured everything was in order to prepare my home for sale.
— Patient and supportive and never made me feel silly for asking the most basic questions. I truly felt that Marty was always by my side to support me with every step of the process and protect my interests.
— No pressure approach. Whenever I had to make an important decision, Marty never made me feel pressured into deciding one way or another. He always provided the facts, then gave me the latitude to make decision myself.
— A consummate professional in terms of appearance, demeanor and composure. Seeing Marty always instilled in me a sense of confidence.
— Beneath that real estate professional is a genuinely warm and friendly person with a good sense of humor.
In sum, my experience with Marty exemplifies the meaning of going above and beyond, of exceeding expectations, and delivering first class client service. In a highly competitive profession, a person of Marty’s level of experience, expert knowledge, professionalism, and good nature makes him a gem among a field of stones.

Marty is a great Realtor that pays attention to his clients needs and wants when looking for a home. Marty helped me find my home in Walnut Creek. I asked him to find a home close to Bart and the freeway. I had spent years living miles away from the freeway and Bart and was tired of the commute.
Marty found me great place close to the freeway, BART and with Walnut Creek schools. He kept me informed as listings became available. He cautioned me about home listings that looked great on the web, but were terrible commutes. The commute was one of my top priorities. He even went to look at homes for me ahead of time so that I was not wasting my time on the weekends. I work in Oakland, but live in Walnut Creek, so it was great to have Marty checking out the places for me when I was busy at work.
I loved working with Marty, working with him to find me the perfect home was one of the best decisions that I have ever made.
I HIGHLY recommend Marty as a Realtor!!!

Marty was recommended to us by friends who had also recommended him to two other friends of ours and he had helped them all find the right home.
My husband was working away when we started looking for properties and we were on a tight schedule as our lease was due to expire on the house we were living in.
We are both from the UK so not only were we first time buyers but we were totally naïve to the process of buying a house in the USA.
I have a tendency to become obsessive and panicky if I do not find the perfect thing after a couple of days of searching and as I said my husband was away so Marty was the one that bore the brunt of most of this! He was calm and positive and very tolerant of my constant emails. When we did find the right place (actually two) Marty was very clear about the process and mounds of paperwork and advised us well on what kind of offers we should put in, etc.
He was right there with us throughout the whole process even to the point of bringing to our attention the good and bad points of a house (easy things to overlook when you view so many places).
He even popped around to see us in our new home with a housewarming gift!
In short I would highly recommend Marty to anyone looking for their next home.

My husband and I are newlyweds and were completely unsure whether or not we could afford our first home. When we met with Marty, his confidence helped us to feel that the dream of home ownership could be a reality! He connected us with a wonderful lender, who was able to explore every avenue to ensure that we were getting all the financing available to us, and Marty made sure that we were making an investment that would benefit our family in the long run.
Of course, as first time home buyers, we were extremely unsure of this whole process. We watched homes sell for well over list price, and had many moments of uncertainty. Marty was available to calm any nerves, answer any questions, and do any leg work required to make a deal happen. He made sure to answer our (daily!) calls, respond promptly to emails, and keep us informed of progress along the way.
In short, we were only able to get through this process with Marty’s help. We would highly recommend him for anyone looking to buy real estate, whether you are a first time home buyer or an experienced veteran.

We were those types of clients (you know the ones) – first timers who needed some extra help, time, explanations and general hand holding – and Marty was there for us.
He’s an extremely sharp business person, with a kind heart, and he really did help see us through to our dream of home ownership! And ever since we signed those papers, I’ve been telling people: I love our home (more and more each day, in fact!), and Marty helped us find it.
Long story short: we were able to find it, view it, and make a successful offer in *this* crazy market. And I’d largely credit Marty for our success.
He’s ready to meet up and tour any property (even those that are on the high or low end of what you’re looking for), and he answers his phone &/​or returns calls and emails immediately. Also, because of his great network and track record, his reputation lent even more credibility to our offer.
Oh, and about that crucial offer: Marty never told (let alone pushed) us to offer a certain number on any house. If anything, we had to push him to share his thoughts on what this or that house might sell for. So he’s clearly got your best interests at heart.
He’s also prompt and personable. Our infant son even loved him! So in this winding journey of searching for that first home, Marty was really like a beacon in the dark. And I’d completely recommend him.

Marty worked with us for almost a year until he found the perfect home for us. He also helped us sell another home, so effectively well above what any of us expected.
He intuitively understands what we want, takes the time with us to really make everything pleasant, and is extremely capable and effective on the details.
Thanks Marty. Will always look to you regarding real estate.

We first contacted Marty from a referral from our neighbors whose home he recently sold. In spite of this great referral, we had planned to interview at least two or three more realtors. But after five minutes of conversation with Marty, we realized he was the right one for us. Our initial meeting proved to be very positive. With retirement plans in the very near future, we were motivated to sell, and Marty proposed very logical and realistic ideas to position our home for a timely sale. His extensive marketing skills and contacts gave us the feeling we were in very capable and professional hands. As a result, our home sold in just four days for full asking price.
We highly recommend Marty because of our success with him, his cool, calm demeanor and sense of humor. Marty always answered all our questions promptly, and guided us through each step of the selling process. He made a very stressful process less stressful, and sometimes, actually fun.
Last but not least, we were so impressed with Marty that we also purchased our new home with him.

We had reached the point where we quickly were becoming disillusioned in our home search when friends who had recently purchased a home gently suggested that we try their realtor Marty Tuominen — in their words ‘no pressure — just give it a shot ’ So glad we did.
We want to thank Marty for his hard work and dedication. Our home search was not without its challenges. We had very specific requirements. Throughout the entire process Marty was ever patient, while we looked and looked at houses. Marty was knowledgeable and committed to helping us find not just any house, but the right house for us. I am happy to report that we found it all at a great price.
We thought the home search presented a challenge?
This was miniscule compared with the frustration that we faced with corporate constraints in trying to get our deal through and closed in time in order to benefit from the closing incentive offered by the bank who owned the property.
Marty provided support, solid advice and went above and beyond his job. He stayed on top of the process and in daily contact with all parties. We feel we not only gained a beautiful home to enjoy, but we also developed a special relationship with Marty in the process. We are truly appreciative and would happily recommend Marty’s services without hesitation to anyone and look forward to seeing more friends (or family) finding their dream home with his help.

Marty helped us sell our last home and purchase the current one. We were «eager» sellers and he made our timetable his priority. The entire process went smoothly — from the listing agreement thru the final close. After we sold we rented for several months while we looked for a place. Marty was available throughout that time for showings, consultations and astute advice. Great experience — both as a seller and a buyer.

Marty helped me sell my dad’s house in Lafayette and did a really great job! I live in Southern California so we had to do a lot of things over the phone and by email. His on-​line document signing software was a real time saver.
Marty was extremely responsive to my inquiries and always got back to me in a timely fashion. The house sold before it was even officially on the market for higher than the asking price. I was totally satisfied with his services and would have no reservations about recommending him.

Marty has help me purchase two properties. The first was a forclosed home in Martinez with code enforcement fines levied against the bank. It could have been a mess but Marty worked with all the parties and we got through the red tape in 90 days. I thought that was amazing.
The second was a forclosed condo that Fannie Mae owned. He again managed to cut through the mess and the escrow closed in 60 days. He hustled this through even though his commission was severly reduced by Fannie Mae.
Marty is the guy you want helping you if you are looking for property.
