With 14 years of experience selling real estate in the San Francisco Bay Area Meredith Martin has honed different strategies for various market conditions. ‘Every situation is unique and every client comes with their own set of priorities and limitations. My job is to help my clients prioritize what is most important to them and create a strategy that helps them succeed in achieving their investment goals.’
Working in the Bay Area, home to Silicon Valley, has given Meredith the opportunity to work with some of the best and brightest minds the world has to offer. ‘One thing I notice is everyone is on information overload and no one can process and distill all the data that is out there on every subject matter, no matter how intelligent they are. I work full time to cultivate and help interpret real estate related information, including International trends, that help my clients make the most informed real estate related decisions possible. There’s a lot of sensational headlines out there, but I find once it’s hit the mainstream press it is usually too late to be of much help to your average Buyer or Seller.’
Preferring to work as a Boutique full service agent Meredith isn’t interested in being the number 1 producer in the city. ‘I’ve reached the point in my career where I am fortunate enough to be able to interview my clients just as they interview me. Not every relationship is going to be a match. The type of service I give my clients requires a tremendous amount of time and energy behind the scenes to make sure every aspect of their purchase or sale experience goes smoothly. To give that type of service it’s impossible to take on too many clients at once. Basically I treat people the way I want to be treated. Give me the facts, I’d like your opinion, be there when I need you, then go away while I make my own decision.’
Having watched real estate trends both locally and Internationally for decades – her family in Australia has long been investors in Sydney – she has a thirst for knowledge and a keen eye to spotting an upcoming trend that may benefit her clients. I am competitive and don’t like to lose, but I also know enough to know what I don’t know and I’m not afraid to say so.
