Testimonials

My experience with Paula Martin was exceptional in every way. Not only was she greatly knowledgeable in the area of her expertise but she was always extremely helpful, cheerful and kind in every way. She was almost always available to talk with me and always encouraging. The house we were buying had many issues and required a lot of involvement by local workmen and what not. She was quick to follow through on these issues and often give us a status report. She was a true professional and yet had a very down to earth way about her. In our opinion she did above and beyond the call of duty so to speak in every way. We could not recommend her enough…she would be a true blessing to anyone she worked with and we are very very thankful for having someone as knowledgeable and helpful as she was. We give her our highest recommendation for an extremely thorough and dependable job. She will really fight for you and you will know she is on your side.

Paula and her team are the best agents we have ever experienced in 32 years of home ownership–including 21 years of military moving around! She got to know us personally and worked with exemplary focus and determination to help us get our house sold and then to purchase a new home, too. The Paula Martin team powered through all the obstacles which arose in these transactions–and there were quite a few setbacks–and helped us move from an unpleasant situation to living a much happier life in a beautiful home! Ethical, personable, fun, professional, devoted–that is Paula and her team!

Paula has now helped us purchase two homes and sell one. From the first time we met her she has always been extremely responsive to our desire to view properties and once selected to guide us through every step of the process.  She is always well prepared with data on the properties and has been prompt in answering or finding answers to our queries. We have had a number of challenging moments in trying to close on these properties and Paula with her wonderful diplomacy kept us on track. She knows who to turn to to get expert advice when needed. Since were had VA financing this was most helpful. Oh, and did I mention that she is just plain nice? Well, she is. Bravo Paula and thanks for jobs well done.”

Paula was a delight to work with. We loved working with Paula.  She bent over backwards, meeting us again and again at our house, working as closely as she could with both of us, one of us in Lexington and the other still living with the kids in Charlotte.  She made it a very smooth transition. It was a very positive experience.”

Paula is an excellent listener.  She gave considerable time to informing us about the Lexington VA area. Because we have environmental sensitivities that preclude our being able to purchase any number of homes on the market, Paula provided alternatives for our consideration. We have not yet purchased a home but, should we find an acceptable house in Lexington VA, we will certainly want Paula to represent us.”

We have had a great and long realtor/client history with Paula Martin have bought three houses through her and sold two. She truly went above and beyond on our last move, showing up the final two days of the move with lunches and dinners and staying to help pack, clean and take a final load to our next residence. Paula even carted away our recyclables and trash. She was an enormous help and we are very grateful.”

Since 2004 we have bought or sold five properties through Paula MartinIn that interval she probably showed us more than 100 houses and never complained. The evening before we sold our previous house, she brought us dinner and labored into the night helping to get the place tidy for the new owners. No one tops her for knowledge, persuasion and competence. If you want it done right, choose Paula.”

Paula was recommended to my wife and me from very dear friends that used Paula to sell their country home. We hired Paula to sell our home in Buena Vista as we were moving to NC. We needed to be in NC by September 5, 2012. Through Paula’s effort, she found a buyer very quickly, but, because of financial problems the buyers could not obtain a mortgage, Paula quickly went to work on another approach. Between Paula and our attorney, they put together a “Lease with Mandatory Purchase Agreement”. The terms of the agreement put together by Paula and our lawyer were absolutely the best for us, other than an out right sale, and agreeable to the buyers. We are now working under the Agreement and to this date all parties are still very pleased with the Agreement. We were so impressed with Paula, we have hired her as our Property Manager during the life of the Agreement. At then of the Agreement, we will use Paula to consumate the actual sale.”

We had been looking for a Historical Estate to restore and start a business for a long time.  After looking at several properties on the East coast, most of which we found on Preservation Nation.org, we found Forest Oaks in Natural Bridge, VA.

The photos were poor, the description brief, and we knew nothing of the area. We contacted the listing agent, who was really of no help at all. Answered very few questions, and just left it with us that if we wanted to see the property, just let him know. We then did a search of other realtors in the area, and came across the ad of Paula Martin and The ReMax Team. Paula’s photo looked genuine, friendly and professional. We contacted Paula and she was very happy to hear from us and what we were interested in looking at and what our plans are.

Paula had put together a bound itinerary of homes for sale including Forest Oaks. At least 6 properties total within the 4 days of our visit. We kept going back to Forest Oaks. Although the others were all very nice and met closely to what we were looking for, Forest Oaks was really what we wanted.

After some negotiations and research and leg work, we made our offer on the Estate in what we felt was a fair offer, considering the work that needed to be done. Escrow opened in September, and was set to close in early December. Three days prior to the expected closing date, on a Friday afternoon, we learned that Forest Oaks was set to go to public auction on the Lexington Courthouse steps the following Monday. We contacted Paula and she acted quickly in our behalf to find out what had caused this mix up, considering the property was currently in the 12th hour of escrow, and she stopped the auction proceedings and the Estate closed on the expected date with no other hitches. This was all done while we were in Arizona.

Since that time I have highly recommended Paula Martin and her team to whomever is looking for any type of real estate, Old or New, Large or Small. Paula Martin is on your side and should be your realtor!”
