All I can say is Martin and Michael were beyond amazing in everything they did for me. They sold my house in Tullimbar during a difficult time in the market and went above and beyond for me. They are now helping me with the purchase of my new house in St Georges Basin and making that process just as easy. Both guys were super professional, super friendly and even helped me move some of my furniture for my house photoshoot. I couldn't recommend them more.

Above and beyond Martin went above and beyond the call of duty to sell my property. He kept me informed all the way through and sold my house in a very tough market. Honest, trustworthy and hard working to get the best price possible and was always accommodating to my questions. I highly recommend Martin as an experienced agent who will do his best for you.

I was never a big fan of real estate agents until I met Martin. He never hounded me to sell and gave me valuable advice and support. When the time came to sell he personally showed people through the house in a Covid safe way. As there was no open homes happening he showed the house for 3 days until he secured us a price that was beyond our wildest dreams. I’m sure we set a sales record for this area. The top quality marketing got buyers in the door he secured our sale without any stress.

When selecting an agent to sell my unit, I spoke to a few agent's. Martin was the only one that came prepared with information on sales in my area, a realistic appraisal and a professional approach regarding a marketing strategy. Martin's calm friendly and totally professional manner helped me feel confident in asking him to list my property with his agency This was the best decision I made. Martin sold the property in record time and achieved an exceptional result. I couldn't be happier.

Honest, Reliable & Helpful I highly recommend Martin and his team. Professional to deal with from the start. My husband and I had been looking for our new home for over 2 years. We had an unpleasant experience with another agent and missed our ideal (at that time) property. Lots of properties are sold prior to auction these days. If the real estate agent is too lazy to tell you that the property which you’re interested in is sold before auction, there’s a high chance that you’re still checking your financial capacity and waiting for the auction. And then a few days after the first open day, you will find your dream home is sold and you’re not the owner. Martin doesn’t allow these things to happen. He has a strong professional work ethic, is very honest and reliable. Martin...

Just makes it look easy This is the 2nd investment property we have sold through One Agency Property Division and each one sold following the first open inspection due to the relationship the agent had with potential buyers. If you want it sold quickly and with minimal fuss, Martin Merritt is the agent for you – highly recommend him - 5 Stars

No Hassles What So Ever! Once again, Martin went beyond the call of duty to ensure a hassle free sale. His knowledge of the industry is exceptional. He constantly kept us in the loop, either via telephone or email, as to what was happening with the sale. Nothing was a problem with Martin, establishing a very good report between himself and client. I would definitely recommend Martin Merritt and his team to anyone thinking of selling their property.

Martin is approachable, always available, knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to meet our needs. I highly recommend Martin for all things real estate.

Martin showed he had excellent knowledge of the current market, and of the clientele the house would be suited too! The expediency of organising photography, of the advertisement board presented out the front of the property, and finally, the Open House was exceptional. The positive feedback provided by Martin was also encouraging, and proved he was the right person to obtain an outcome I would be satisfied with! This whole process took 10 days from the initial interview to the Sale of the property.

G. Seymour - Vendor

He consistently strives to ensure all parties are satisfied with the outcome and that the process is smooth and hassle free. We have bought and sold through Martin numerous times over the past several years and would highly recommend him as a perceptive and astute professional at all times.

As soon as I met Martin in person, I knew he would sell me my forever home in THIRROUL. Martin's broad smile and friendly approach welcomed my family and me when we viewed 18 Soudan St. Despite being a busy and popular agent, he was always contactable and made the purchase process incredibly easy.

The Agent you should use for buying and selling. We have known Martin for over 10 years and have utilised his skills and services for buying and selling our homes because he is one of the few agents you will meet who treat you as a person and not as his next pay cheque. Martin will get you the best outcome no matter if you are buying or selling. It’s not very often nowadays you find someone like him. He has integrity, is trustworthy and we highly recommend if you are serious about selling or buying, give him a call.

It is with great pleasure that i provide this letter of recommendation. I have liked Martin ever since I met him. He was always conducted himself professionally and as far as I am concerned, he is the best, most honest, genuine and down to earth agent that i have ever come across. He is extremely passionate about selling properties. Martin has sold 6 of my properties throughout the years. I will never go elsewhere and should i need the services of an agent in the future, I will always come back to Martin. I have been extremely impressed with the services provided by Martin and his team therefore wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.
