About Me

As a lifelong resident of Chestnut Hill, I know the area and its surrounding suburbs very well. My children attended local schools and I have volunteered in various civic organizations in and around Chestnut Hill for the last 30 years. My experience as a full time realtor combined with my love for this community has served my clients well:



"Martha is an agent nonpareil. She has boundless energy and is a peerless advocate for her clients. She understands the market and has the negotiating skills to seal the deal. She is unflaggingly positive and professional." K. P., Chestnut Hill“Martha was wonderful, and truly instrumental in the sale of my home. With her keen knowledge of the local market, her advice, patience and guidance, the house was successfully sold. She guided me through the maze of the marketplace, how to best show my home, and was incredibly accommodating to my schedule. Martha was always on the ball, keeping me well informed every step of the way. She knows her business well, and I would recommend her without hesitation.”S. W., Chestnut Hill


“I can’t say enough good things about Martha. She is extremely professional, very detail oriented and so easy to work with. My home and my needs were her first priority always, and she did all the worrying so that I wouldn’t have to! From start to finish, I was in very good hands. What sets Martha apart, in my mind, is her ability to see down the road and anticipate potential problems or things that may need attention, ahead of time so that they can be addressed immediately.” J. A., Chestnut Hill

"Martha was a wonderful agent. We could count on her to respond quickly to our questions and be there when we needed her. We truly felt like selling our home for the best price possible was her top priority. She was very conscientious, she always made sure every detail was in order and carefully reviewed every document throughout the entire process -- it was a wonderful feeling to know we could place our trust in her." S.B., Chestnut Hill




“Martha provided a professionalism and a “can-do” spirit that helped me get my property up and listed faster than I expected. She had many good ideas for preparing my home to be shown in the best light and worked effectively with other agents to get the word out about the listing. She was a pleasure to work with and I recommend her highly.” S. S., Wyndmoor




“Martha is an absolute delight to work with. She is informative, professional, and detail oriented. Beyond her professionalism, she has great integrity and works hard for her clients to get positive results. If you are considering working with Martha, she will certainly exceed your expectations.” M. S., Chestnut Hill




“Martha is a genuine, reliable and efficient business professional. She was a true pleasure to work with an incredible support to us during what can easily be a highly stressful time. Martha is a great resource and I highly recommend her.” K. S., Chestnut Hill




“My wife and I hired Martha to sell our Chestnut Hill home. She was very capable and engaging and gave us realistic assessments of what we could expect and was personally available to us. She successfully sold our home and helped us through the process, step-by-step. My wife and I highly recommend her and we would use Martha for any other real estate transactions.” J. J., Chestnut Hill




“Martha is upbeat and takes charge of interior decor without altering the mood of the house. She knows how to set up the overall appearance of your home with minimal fuss and has a good eye as to how to create a warm, must-buy house. Get Martha to sell your house and I can truthfully say, she makes it a fun endeavor.” S. D., Chestnut Hill


As a full time realtor, I am truly committed to your success.
