ZillowVERIFIEDMarty was a great agent for us.We sold our house while we were out of state and he handled many extra details like meeting with plumbers and making sure the house was in good condition(no dead birds in the fireplace) and lots of extras. He knew the area well, was friendly and easy to communicate with. The new owners are very happy as well which makes me think that he was fair and responsive to all.Moreover we are happy with the price that we sold the house for. The sale exceeded our expectations.

ZillowVERIFIED Marty helped us buy our first home! He was a great agent with an incredibly extensive knowledge of both Columbia and Dutchess county as well as the surrounding areas. His attention to detail and personal/professional insight is both helpful and unique. He really will just tell it like it is, and wont try and sell you on anything you dont want. Hes great to work with, as you slowly (or quickly) figure out what it is you are really looking for. I highly recommend Marty for anyone in the market located in the upstate NY area!

ZillowVERIFIED Marty was very helpful from beginning to end. Very diligent and proactive in finding and sending listings on a daily basis. Understood what I was looking for and also appropriately encouraged me to consider additional areas and options. Was very helpful in answering a million questions and brought a wealth of knowledge about the areas, the process, houses, etc. Learned a lot and ultimately am very happy with my new house.

ZillowVERIFIED Martin Salerno was so helpful in my search for a property that fit my requirements. He understood what my criteria was and never tried to steer me away from that. Once we found a property, his communication skills were outstanding, always following up with emails and answering phone calls right away. Martin is very experienced and brought his years worth of knowledge to me as a client. He know everyone, and keeps a roster of general contractors, gardeners, snow removal companies, and the list goes on. When looking at properties with Martin, he always gave honest opinions, never hiding negative points but also had solutions to how to fix those negative points. My next property search will be with Martin Salerno for sure.

ZillowVERIFIED Martin was amazing and we highly recommend him. He helped us find an amazing property in Ancram. He was very knowledgeable about the area and helped us through the home inspection process and even recommended an amazing local attorney to help us with the closing process. Post closing he has been so helpful in referring us to contractors to do various things on the property. If you want an agent who will work for your best interests guide you with honest and transparent advice you cannot go wrong with Martin. We are extremely satisfied. Thank you Martin for everything.

ZillowVERIFIED Martin was a professional from beginning to end. Within a week of signing my contract to list he had my house professionally photographed and listed. He updated me daily on any showings and or offers. Any question or concern I had was quickly answered. I had never sold a house before and because of Martin I had a wonderful experience. He goes above and beyond.

ZillowVERIFIED From the moment we reached out to Marty, he was responsive and interested in helping us to achieve our goals. He is not pushy at all. We were searching for land on which to build a second home. We do not live in the Hudson Valley and we arent overly familiar with the area. Marty encouraged us to explore and was very helpful in giving us an understanding of the differences in the various townsaEUR"he knows the area well. Next, Marty was helpful in building a list of properties that fit our criteria and he supplemened that list as more properties became available. He was also helpful in identifying properties that ultimately should not be considered because of our criteriaaEUR"that was extremely helpful given we are not super familiar with all of the towns and their proximity to various aEURoenuisancesaEUR?. When we finally landed on the property we fell in love with, 86+ acres, Marty was super helpful in the negotiation process with an extremely difficult seller and sellers broker. When closing almost didnt occur, Marty helped us to think of creative ways to re-engage and his ideas helped us to ultimately reach a renegotiated deal with the sellers and close. Marty also knows a lot of people and can help you find the people you need from surveyors to lawyers to landscaping and pond creators. We would definitely hire Marty again.

ZillowVERIFIED In this competitive market, you need an agent who is dedicated, understands specific neighborhood trends, is honest, and knows how to look out for your interest aEUR" Martin is this agent. When my partner and I decided to buy a second home upstate, we found that the market and process is very different from our primary home in PA. Thankfully we had Martin to guide us every step of the way. Martin took the time to truly get to know us. He ensured we were looking in areas that fit our lifestyle and budget. Martin was always flexible with showings, sometimes re-arranging his schedule to get us into homes that we knew would not be available for long. When it came time to put in offers (and there were a few!), Martins ability to navigate multiple-offer situations and leverage his relationships with Sellers agents helped to ensure we were best positioned. Ultimately, we ended up with the perfect home upstate at a fair price. Martin may have started as our agent but is now also a friend. I highly recommend MartinaEUR|give him a call, you wont be disappointed.

ZillowVERIFIED Marty was (and continues to be) amazing! He helped us find the perfect house, and also helped us realize what we truly wanted in a home. He was extremely diligent in sending us many listings as soon as they came on the market, and also would follow up with us on particular homes he thought were really worth coming up from the city to see. Through the extremely slow buyers market, he remained patient with us and our wants/needs and was determined to find us not just A home, but the right home. Even now, after we found our home, hes been so helpful in connecting us with anyone/anything local we may need. Needless to say, we highly recommend working with Marty !!

ZillowVERIFIED Martin was a joy to work with! He sent us a lot of great listings, took us to a number of walk-thrus, helped us navigate the offer process, and gave us great advice along the whole way! We really can't say enough of how great Martin was to have on this journey.

ZillowVERIFIED As a first time homebuyer, I feel extremely fortunate to have worked with Martin. I could not have made it through this process without him. He is incredibly supportive, responsive, knowledgeable, and well-connected to the people who can help you for various services after you've purchased your home. He kept me on track during the process and helped me see to all the details that I wouldn't think of as a first time homebuyer. He is wonderful and I most highly recommend him!!

ZillowVERIFIED Marty is incredible! He went above and beyond the call of duty to help us find our home. He didnt push us to make any particular decision and was always conscious of our goals and budget. He assisted us with the move as well. I cant believe we found such an amazing broker. 5/5! Call him if youre looking for a home in the Hudson Valley.

Review for Member: Martin Salerno
ZillowVERIFIED Knowledgeable, personable, communicative and honest are just a few of the qualities we found in Marty, all of which led us to purchase a home we know we will enjoy for years to come. To say we highly recommend Marty is an understatement, and we are not easy to please. Marty was with us on our journey to purchase a home in the Hudson Valley every step of the way. We started with little knowledge about the various towns and Marty educated us. His advice was (and still is) invaluable. He was patient, informative and candid without being pushy and went out of his way to make sure we were able to see the houses that piqued our interest in the middle of the pandemic, even if he had to go himself and FaceTime us from the location (and he didn't just look at the house, he explored the neighborhood too!). Marty really took the time to understand our preferences and easily pivoted when those changed along the way. He respected our price range, and even talked us out of things he thought were too expensive or overpriced. Marty takes his job very seriously yet, at the same time, makes the process fun with his witty sense of humor. He connected us with an inspector, mortgage broker, pool service and more! We couldn't be happier with our purchase, and couldn't have done it without Marty. More than a realtor, we now consider Marty a friend.

ZillowVERIFIED Marty Salerno is a true professional. During the pandemic, he was able to promote the sale of our house even without being allowed to escort prospective buyers. He offered expert advice about pricing, staging, and advertising. And he expedited the paperwork to finalize the sale. We appreciate his help and highly recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I had the great good luck to have worked with Martin Salerno on our recent (successful) house hunt. Martin's honesty and integrity (and humor) were evident from our first call. To say that Martin went above and beyond is a cliche, but in this case totally true: even after the sale, he helped us to engage a surveyor, he responded to emails and calls promptly, he gave us all sorts of advice that you dream about (handymen referrals, driving route tips, etc). It was truly a pleasure working with Martin, especially during these very challenging times.

ZillowVERIFIED I worked with Marty when I was looking to buy a small house in the Catskills - he helped me identify a number of options and we talked through the pros and cons of different houses, areas, communities, and what the market was like in the price range I had in mind. Marty is very honest and candid, and asked all the right questions about what I needed and wanted, and was exceedingly responsive and available when I had questions for him. He worked closely with me when I had zeroed in on a house, found a terrific inspector and recommended an excellent lawyer, both of whom I used. Marty was supportive and impressive throughout, and an enormous pleasure to work with. He gave me excellent, honest, and helpful advice, and also kept me calm as I went through the purchasing process and had moments of being anxious (normal when buying a house). I recommend him very highly and without hesitation - he is terrific and experienced, very knowledgable and honest.

ZillowVERIFIED We have done three transactions with Marty, and he's been terrific. He understands the local market extremely well, and his judgment and guidance on marketing a house and dealing with offers are excellent. Our most recent sale went over the asking price. In addition to all that, working with Marty is like working with a trusted friend. We are happy to recommend him if you are buying or selling.

ZillowVERIFIED Marty helped us buy our first but not our last place in the Hudson Valley. He knows everyone, and has great market color. He helped to negotiate a few discounts for us at the closing table. I have referred several close friends to him, and feel very comfortable doing the same to the thousands of internet strangers who may read this review.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I were looking for a weekend home in Hudson when we came across one of his listings. My husband spoke with Marty and the conversation went well enough that we decided to make him our agent. We wanted a place in Hudson because it was the only place we had visited however Marty sent us listings in the beautiful surrounding areas; which we were happy to explore. Marty exposed us to so many beautiful local towns and provide us with history and tales, along with the shopping and eateries. The home search was always professional however it felt like we were with an old friend looking at house. This was all before the pandemic hit.We slowed down our search for a few months during the pandemic. We called Marty in the beginning of May and told him we wanted to search again. Marty worked through difficult times and new ways of searching for a home but he eventually found us our home. And I cant thank him enough. Marty is a top notch agent who will find the home for you and walk you through the entire process. This was my first time buying a home and thanks to Marty it was fun and great experience. I highly recommend Marty if you are looking for a home in the Hudson Valley area.

ZillowVERIFIED Marty was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and reliable throughout the entire process of buying and selling our home. He knew the market extremely well, and was strategic in his approach. We felt we could text or call him with any question, and he was unfailingly warm and helpful. He paid such attention to detail that it allowed us confidence and ease in what could have been a very stressful experience. I would trust him with my own children! Marty comes with my highest recommendations.

ZillowVERIFIED All I can say is thank goodness for Martin! He is so great in every way. He asked me all the right questions to get down to exactly what I wanted, spent the afternoon showing me options, and by 4 pm I was ready to make an offer! He is an incredible resource with buying tips, local info, and a deep address book of pros to refer you too. Martin is responsive and caring, and has a great sense of humor. I really felt like he wasnt just wanting to make a sale, but was invested in making the right sale and getting you a place you love. I really just love this guy! Thanks Martin!

ZillowVERIFIED I recently purchased a second home outside of Hudson. I was fortunate to find Martin to help in the search. He was great about showing houses to narrow down what we wanted. He is knowledgeable about the region, genuine and straightforward. Once we were in the contract phase he worked to keep all the parties on track and the process moving. Since the purchase he continues to be helpful in make recommendations and connections in area. If I'm looking to buy or sell in the future Martin will be my first call.

ZillowVERIFIED Martin was a true professional and who was incredibly patient and diligent. Martin has deep acumen and knowledge of the local real estate market and was extremely accommodating in setting up appointments and viewings. Martin would also preview properties for us and make sure they were worth our time to schedule a visit. Martins guidance and opinion was vital in our decision process and allowed us to find the perfect home for us. He never rushed or pressured us during the process and only had our best interest at heart. I think you would be hard pressed to find a better agent then Martin and after our experience we no longer consider Martin just an real estate but a friend. Thank you Marty for all your hard work!

ZillowVERIFIED I can only recommend Marty if you're looking for a house in the greater Hudson area. He listens to what you want and makes great suggestions and challenges you to really think about what matters most in selecting your new home. He finds great properties to visit and will go above and beyond to find you the right place. He is accessible and willing to answer any and all questions. He didnt have to do the things he did but he didnt give up until we found the one home we were looking for. I highly recommend him. Thank you, Marty!

ZillowVERIFIED We loved the way Martin Salerno handled the sale of our house. From the beginning of the process, he advised us on the proper evaluation of the property and then presented it at its best on line and in person. He stayed in constant touch with us from beginning to end. He always responded to our questions within minutes and kept us informed regarding potential buyers. We had complete trust that he was putting our interests first. And he got great results, and in a short amount of time! By the way, Marty is also a really nice guy, extremely comfortable to talk to, and it was a joy to work with him.

ZillowVERIFIED We were looking for a distressed property with character. A project that required vision. After a year of looking unsuccessfully, our friends suggested we go out with Marty. He showed us 6 properties that met our criteria on the first day! Marty was incredibly thorough with all of the possible downsides of the distressed property, which was great because the majority of the potential complications are specific to the area and could have had a huge impact during construction. He was also very prompt with all communication and follow up. We ended up getting the perfect house and wouldn't think of recommending anyone else.

ZillowVERIFIED Marty is a dream come true. He single-handedly covered all our needs when buying our first country home. First he found us a great house, and it was a listing we were not aware of at the time despite avid online research. He introduced us to a beautiful property that we now call home. Marty proved to be very knowledgeable of the local market and helped us navigate through all the questions that came up with great ease. He connected us with a lawyer, a banker, an inspector, a contractor and a Handiman. He will definitely go the extra mile for you!

ZillowVERIFIED Martin Salerno is the ultimate BEST! Starting this process as a first time home-owner, I was nervous/did not know what to expect. From the very beginning of interacting with Marty, I felt as if I was talking to a friend. He was patient in listening to my husband and my concerns/wants/needs. Being it was our first time buying a house, we obviously had many questions. Marty went above and beyond with his answers- while also educating us on each and every process along the way. He helped us get our dream house and we cannot thank him enough! I can't wait until my other friends are looking to purchase their next home because we have the perfect person for the job!

ZillowVERIFIED Martin Salerno is an extremely impressive real estate professional. His knowledge of the towns, properties, people (and even the history) of Columbia County is encyclopedic and his relationships with other brokers are superb. His ability to convey pertinent information and data is matched by his ability to listen: he was able to show us more that a dozen properties - that met ALL of our criteria - in a very short period of time (sometimes by using his great relationships to get fellow agents to show us their listings at inconvenient times and on very short notice) and ultimately was a very effective negotiator in getting us to an accepted offer on the property we selected.

ZillowVERIFIED Marty was incredibly responsive. In the fast paced world of real estate, responsiveness is key. Knowledge of outside aspects of home buying and inside don't always go hand in hand, but Marty has vision, which most home buyers need direction with. Helpful, knowledgeable and responsive. Great experience.
