Testimonials

Joseph Martin was our REALTOR® in the selling of our property at 812 Finlayson Arm Road, the Highlands. As you may already know or are about to learn, selling or buying a house can be a very stressful venture. Having a REALTOR® who has integrity, market knowledge and comes with a number of contacts who can make the process easier can reduce that stress considerably. Fortunately we had Joseph Martin. In addition to all of the above, Joseph came with a terrific sense of humour and was a calming presence throughout the entire deal. He was a friend and a guide through the tangle of bylaws, selling practices, house preparation and de-cluttering we had to work through.

If you choose Joseph Martin to sell your house or to help you buy one, rest assured that you will come out of that experience richer by at least one friend.

We chose Joseph Martin as our REALTOR® because we knew him to be a man of integrity and charisma, with many special qualities and ‘talents.’
Our trust in him was well placed. He performed many little ‘extras’ to enhance the qualities of our house including ‘Prepping’ it for sale, buying numerous plants for indoors and outdoors, applying the principles of Feng Shui, and positioning the furniture and articles around the room.
Joseph also held several REALTOR® Open Houses and provided a wonderful luncheon for them each time.
Everyone who came through the property had positive things to say about it and Joseph’s presentation. The house was sold within 4 weeks, during the period before Christmas when there is very little action in the Real Estate Market. Our buyers were so impressed with Joseph that they asked him to also sell their house, requesting that he perform the same Feng Shui principles for them. Their house was also sold within two weeks.
Joseph has a unique style and friendliness that endears him to the most ‘difficult’ buyer.
We now look upon him as a very dear friend. We would recommend his ‘services’ to anyone and everyone.

Joseph's positive and supportive approach to selling my home was truly appreciated. The Prepping and Feng Shui techniques he used made all the difference in ensuring a quick sale. My house was only on the market for a week before an offer came in, even amidst the cooling of Victoria's real estate market! Joseph will be my first choice for a realtor in the future.

After trying to sell my condo in James Bay for over 2 years, and spending a lot of time and money changing the decor, renovating and staging it, it finally sold through my new REALTOR® and friend Joseph Martin.

My whole experience with Joseph was calm, uplifting, vibrant and healing. He brought a wealth of knowledge and expertise with him. Joseph brought Feng Shui, Real Estate knowledge and basic common sense into play and my condo sold in only 6 days!

The new owner of my condo is happy; I am happy and now getting settled in my new home.

I highly recommend Joseph to anyone looking for a REALTOR® to sell their home; he will make all the difference and make the experience a joyful, happy one with everyone involved. There is no one quite like him in the Real Estate world.

What else can I say? You cleared the blockages of bad energy, you got rid of the stagnation, you heaped it all together and got it moving, as well as supported me in moving out and moving in, and I know that at a deeper level, there was a lot of movement there as well.

I almost have to say that whatever I need is supplied as soon as I think of it, the energy is moving so freely now.

Thank you Joseph for all your hard work.

Warm Regards,
Kathryn Grace Anderson

Having worked in a real estate office for a couple of years I knew what to and what not to expect from a REALTOR® during the process of selling our home. I had a full trust from my husband in choosing you through a referral.

You always went above and beyond in providing the service of a Real Estate professional. You took over problems that arose for us, guided us through situations and handled everything with the utmost professionalism. We felt very secure and well represented while in your hands.

Your positive, friendly, and helpful attitude made these few weeks a pleasure to work with. Your fantastic negotiation skills resulted in the price and big savings for us.

We will continue to refer relatives, friend, and co-workers to you – because they deserve the best in their real-estate endeavors.

Thanks again for all of your great work.

I met Joseph at an open house when I went to view a property I was interested in. After deciding to sell my condo Joseph offered to list it and I accepted. After staging it Joseph used his Feng Shui skills and my home looked great. As a result it sold in one day. At every step of my listing and selling process Joseph made everything very easy. His skills as a Realtor and the craft of Feng Shui are superb. A happy seller and hopefully a very satisfied buyer. Thanks again Joseph and may you have many more customers as satisfied as I am.

Heather’s win at Ironman Coeur D’Alene: A decent prize purse wiped our debt clean. We actually had green in our bank account.
The incredibly lucky and timely sale of our Condo in Victoria. We owned the Condo for two years, having strung together a down-payment with the help of my Mom. Somehow I met a Realtor at the pool who really made the sale happen. Any other Realtor, aside from this guy (thank you Joseph) would have dropped the ball once a couple of legal complications came up. We’d probably still be hanging on to that place in a tanking market. The sale gave us a respectable profit, paid back my Mom and purchased the RV. You’re awesome, Joseph.

"We would unconditionally recommend Joseph Martin to anyone looking to buy, sell or re-energize their home. Joseph intuitively understands that real estate is as much about people, plants and pets as it is about properties. That the process of buying or selling a home is an emotional and spiritual journey, not just a financial transaction. He works hard to generate positive energy and the best possible outcome for everyone involved.

Joseph's staging and pricing strategy with our house worked like a charm. In a declining market, we sold for our asking price within a week of listing. Joseph was attentive, inspiring and helpful throughout the entire process. He acted with clarity, caring, professionalism and integrity - and we now consider him a family friend. Thank you Joseph!"

"We were concerned about getting a good price and a quick sale because there were so many condos on the market already in Victoria. Joseph did an incredible job of staging our condo and utilized a strategy that got us a huge amount of interest and ultimately a sale for a substantial amount over our asking price - and the deal closed in less than two weeks from our first meeting! Joseph was very professional and his Feng Shui preparation and advanced staging created a buzz that brought in over 80 viewings and Open House visits in one week that led to multiple offers on our condo. He was also very fun to work with and answered all our questions thoroughly. His friendly and professional demeanour made selling our condo easy and enjoyable - I highly recommend working with Joseph."
