Despite my success, working in a large franchise didn’t sit well with me after a while. It seemed like the personal touch was missing, and not every client received the care they deserved. This led me to join Martino Realty Group in 2005, a decision that changed my career and life for the better. The difference was night and day. At Martino Realty, clients are treated like family, a philosophy that resonates deeply with me. This personal approach to business has allowed me to build lasting relationships with my clients. In fact, one of my first clients has become one of my best friends — I even had the honor of becoming the godfather to his daughter.

These are not just transactions; they are the building blocks of lifelong relationships. “Make sure that you have a tip-top reputation and strive to do the best for your clients” is the motto I live by. This commitment once led me to stay until 1 a.m. to manage a crisis for a client whose home flooded while they were away. It’s about being there for people when they need you the most, not just when it’s convenient.
