NORTH SHORE + GLENVIEW REALTOR

Did excellent job of preparing house for sale and setting clear expectations on the sale. Did an excellent job of marketing house and getting offers.

Your help in making my move to my new home was truly appreciated. Of course the “magic” of our speedy sale & closing helped make the whole process a joy. I love the Waterford candle holders and will enjoy using them when I have company for dinner. Many thanks for all your help

When we first started looking for a home in the Chicago area we were almost clueless, but then we got in touch with you and that changed everything! 

We had considered selling our house and downsizing and Martha May had helped us in previous years. We ultimately decided we weren’t ready to take that step. Recently, we made the decision to go ahead, and contacted Martha. We began looking, thinking it would take quite a while to find a condo. To our surprise, the 4th condo Martha showed us was the one. She was very good at keeping us in touch and in tune with the process. We closed on it last week and are now getting our house ready for sale with Martha.

Martha May became my agent in the middle of my house sale and jumped in with both feet. After she got the contract on my house she tirelessly searched for a home for me to rent. Bingo she found one. I highly recommend Martha.

Martha was very professional in every aspect of the sale and on the purchase side. She was very patient with us as we decided where to live and very organized with both transactions.

We can’t thank you enough for all that you have done for us over the past year in our search for a new home! Your support, kindness, & sincere advice meant more to us than you’ll ever know.

If you are looking to buy OR sell a house, I cannot recommend her enough!

Martha May was awesome to work with. Her experience and business acumen was perfect. She led with positivism which sold us from the moment we met her.

Thanks Martha for being patient and understanding and communicating all aspects on the selling of my mom’s home.

Martha May presented the most detailed marketing plan of any agent I spoke with. Her professionalism, experience and attention to detail made my decision to utilize her services easy. I will definitely recommend AND use her services in the future.

Martha not only gave me great advice on selling the house, but she supported me with the emotional side of the sale as well. I called on her to help my son with his home purchase and with the sale of the house I remodeled to sell. I would rely on Martha for any real estate sale or purchase.

Martha was the broker for the previous owners 20+ yrs ago. Liked that she knew the house & neighborhood. Very professional & fun to work with during this stressful time. I liked it when she said, “Don’t worry, let’s just take one step at a time.” I would recommend Martha May.

My fiancee and I had a great experience buying our first home with Martha! She always replied promptly, no matter the time of day, which really helped with our busy schedules. We’re in love with our new home and can’t thank her enough for helping us get it!

Martha, we want to thank you for your exceptional, professional guidance in the process of selling our condo. Your kindness, knowledge and being friendly was very important. We would definitely recommend Martha May to anyone who is looking for a real estate agent.

I would highly recommend Martha to sell my home or any home. She knows real estate, value, areas, and is always there to help you. Her previous art degree shows through when she and her team are staging and photographing your home.

It was our pleasure working with you! I love your straightforward and honest approach, I believe our personalities should shine through in the work we do, and you prove this true; we have been blessed to have found you, especially in this second round! You are always welcome at our home wherever we are, and please come visit us in Florida!

Martha May is by far the best Realtor we have had the pleasure of working with. She is bright, articulate and knows her business and the market. We highly recommend her to anyone contemplating a sale of their home.

She was always available, resourceful and helpful, from the initial house hunting trip trough the final closing. The entire experience was very enjoyable, as we were able to capitalize on Martha’s knowledge of the business, the area and the holistic real estate purchasing processes.

Martha, we want to thank you for your exceptional, professional services and guidance in the process of selling our home and assisting us in locating the perfect condo to purchase. We never expected our home to sell so quickly. Thank you for finding the condo that fit our budget & needs.

Martha takes a lot of pride in helping people find the right home for them, and she should. Her results are impressive. We would highly recommend Martha to anyone moving to the area.

This process was very high pressured as we were under a tight deadline to relocate. We would have never been able to do it without Martha! She was the best Realtor we have ever worked with. She is totally dedicated and has her clients best interests at heart. I would recommend her to ANYONE that needs a Realtor!!

You are equal parts wonderful human being plus fantastic Realtor!

Martha was wonderful to work with in our search for our home on North Shore! Her experience throughout the transaction shined through. We would definitely recommend her to anyone buying or selling. She is a real professional!

It has been a true pleasure working with Martha and we would highly recommend her as an agent.

I would definitely recommend Martha to anyone who is looking for a real estate agent. I know I will use her when I put my house on the market.

Thank you so much for letting us lean on you during our move. It was wonderful to have you by our side.

Thank you so much for your help selling my mother’s house! Your guidance helped me to get the house ready to sell and looking so awesome that it sold in two days! My advice to anyone serious about selling and willing to listen to an experienced and successful Realtor – call Martha May first!

Just a note of appreciation for your experience and instinct and the way you meld them together to do what you do so well. We successfully made it full circle from planning to selling to planning to buying, and I am finally where I belong. We even had a few laughs along the way! Thank you for a job well done.

Martha May helped us buy our dream home. We listed our old house with Martha after seeing her sell many homes in our Glenview neighborhood during the past 10 years. Because of that, it was a no-brainer when we decided to sell.

We want to express our gratitude for all that you did to “make this sale happen.” We are singing your praises to everyone we know. Your expertise helped us stay calm and hopeful when everything seemed to be falling apart. We feel blessed that we were “led” to you and your services.

It was a pleasure working with you. You have our highest recommendation. We look forward to working with you again in the future.

She was always on time and very patient with the ever changing decisions of my wife and I. It was very frustrating for us to find the house that we wanted as the market is currently poor but having Martha on our side surely helped. She was always very helpful, easy to reach and organized. I would strongly recommend her.

I highly recommend Martha because of her professionalism, calm sales approach and the ability to work with someone many many miles away.

We felt so confident when discussing our time frame with you – that you were on top of pricing that would get us a sale in a reasonable time. Needless to say, when we listed and closed the sale in less than 2 months we knew we had chosen the best person to list with.We appreciated your input, your professional work and the follow up on every showing.

Congratulations on your success in 2011. It certainly was an extraordinary year. You are to be applauded for rising to the challenge with skill, knowledge and finesse, and delivering a high level of service to clients. Along with the entire Koenig & Strey Leadership Team, I am very pleased to celebrate your Platinum status, and to count you among the top five percent of our company.

I can’t even begin to thank you for all you have done for Joe and I. Having a place of our own means the world to us and you took the extra time to care for us and really listened to what we were looking for! You found us just what we wanted!

We have the utmost of respect for Martha and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a seasoned, top notch Realtor.

Martha May is the only Real Estate person I have used in the last twenty years. Before that I was disappointed with other agents numerous times. Martha is a never say die person who presents herself as a friendly, classy person. She works hard and will never offend anyone.

Thank you very much for all your help and the diligence that you went through in finding a buyer for me and the extra work you did in readying the house for sale. Both Carla and I really appreciate it – very much.

You are an exceptional Agent, and such a pleasure to work with, always organized, so courteous, energetic, and thoughtful. Working with you was such a wonderful experience, and it would be my pleasure to refer anyone to you who might be looking for a very talented Agent.

Thank you for the lovely flowers and note. Kathy and I are very excited to have finally reached this point in our lives together. Your guidance and expertise helped to move this along. I truly appreciate your help.

Thank you also for your assistance in my purchase. You were most helpful. Your exemplary professionalism was recognized and greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to thank you for all your hard work in selling our Glenview home. You really made the selling process process so easy for our family.

I would highly recommend Martha May because of her professionalism, calming sales approach, ability to identify her clients needs and her strong communication skills that continually kept us informed of any possible home opportunities. Great work Martha!

Martha was a pleasure to work with on both the sale of my home and the purchase of a new home.

Thank you very much for all of your help/expertise on the sale and purchase of our homes in Park Ridge & Glenview. We are in the toughest economic and real estate market in years and your tireless efforts, excellent communication, and positive personality will not be forgotten.

Thank you so much for all your time and effort on our condo purchase! Buying a home without ever being in it was a bit nerve-wracking, but I knew I was in good hands. Thank you also for the beautiful votive holder. It will hold a prominent place on the shelf!

Martha was reliable, honest, articulate and professional. She has the accreditations and awards to back her experience. The goal was to sell our home: price it properly, create interest, obtain an offer/contract, and do it in a timely fashion. If you want to sell your home, look no further. Martha May is a given.

We have found the home of our dreams with the help of our wonderful real estate agent Martha May. Martha was great to work with and very patient with us.

Thank you for all your efforts to sell my mother’s condo. I am so relieved to have that off my long list of things to do!

I have known Martha well over a decade now and have had the pleasure of working with her on several occassions. She has always reflected complete professionalism, knowledge in her field, dedication and responsiveness to get the job done. I feel Martha is one of the best in her field and a valuable business partner to team with.

Martha is a client focused broker. Martha has always been available over the years whether it be to field a question or pursue a venture. We recently worked together on a multi-year commercial endeavor for which her involvement was critical to getting it done.

Thank you so much for your excellent Realtor skills. We have the house of our dreams and you did so much to make it happen. The crystal candle holders are absolutely lovely. They add a beautiful touch to our mantle. Thank you, Martha! Thanks for all your help!

Susie and I want to thank you for the outstanding service you provided with both the sale of our previous home and the search and purchase of our new home.

Martha May has successfully handled all of our real estate transactions for the last 13 years. We wouldn’t dream of using anyone else! She is professional, knowledgeable and personable, and best of all, she is a closer.

Anyone who prefers to work with a consummate professional should call Martha May. As a first-time seller and a long-time homeowner, I called Martha after an extensive comparsion of direct mail I received from various agents through the years and reviewed listings in the local press and found Martha to be the best at both venues.

It is generally accepted that buying or selling a home is one of life’s most stressful events…but it doesn’t have to be unpleasant! Working with Martha May recently to successfully sell my condominium was a positive experience in every way.

I am writing this letter to express our appreciation in the manner in which you helped sell our home in Glenview. We know how much you did to help the sale go so smooth. We cannot give you enough praise in your very special endeavors. Should we ever need your special attention in selling another home, we would definitely use your expert decision in all aspects.

Martha – thanks again for all your help in selling my parents’ house in Morton Grove. It’s so wonderful to work with a pro like you.

Martha was excellent. She was helpful professional and knowledgeable.

Martha May is the best when she has a mission. She is like a pit-bull seeking what the client wants. She sold our house in a matter of days and found us a wonderful condo a few days after that. She works tirelessly for her clients whether night or day. She is a winner and great to have her in your corner. Martha May is hard driving, very communicative and patient. Martha made herself available to us every day through the whole process. I would recommend her to anyone. Very friendly and professional.

Martha listened to my concerns and responded appropriately. I needed and asked for advice at each step of the process and she was there to share her expertise. Plus, I appreciated her sense of humor. She was always easy to get in touch with when needed.

Martha May is terrific. She guided us through a number of offers and reached a respectable goal for us. We are delighted with the young family which purchased our home of 52+ years. They are happy. We are happy. Thank you, Martha…and your assistant. And thanks to God.

Martha May is knowledgeable about the house and property and she has critical eyes regarding property and house. She is knowledgeable about the neighborhood and resources. She did well, she sold the house in 2 days after putting up the sale sign. She is conscientious and professional about her work.

Thank you, Martha. We know that the successful conclusion of our sale was based upon your expertise. 

Martha:  I would like to extend a sincere thank you for assisting me with the sale of our property.  From my first interaction with you, I felt the great pride and honesty you take in conducting your business. Appreciate your assistance. 

Martha was great. We’ve used her to buy and sell multiple times. Whole process went smoothly

Martha May is so knowledgeable regarding the Glenview / North Shore area and was especially knowledgeable regarding my particular townhouse complex. She was very professional from knowing how to price my home, to the photos, to the advertising, to the sale price negotiations. My home sold in less than 2 weeks! Martha was always in contact with me….every step of the way. I would never hesitate to recommend her.

Working with Martha was a real pleasure. Her patience and professionalism were top notch as well as her work ethic. I even used Martha to find my new home. She is highly recommended by me.

Martha’s enthusiasm was very important to me and her overall knowledge of the market and the area in which my home was located. Martha was always respectful of my schedule and gave me at least 24 hours notice of any showing. She was knowledgeable about all aspects of selling my home. What more could I say about Martha May – She is awesome!

Martha was great to work with . . . priced home fairly and sold it quickly.

Martha May was excellent to work with while we looked to purchase a home. She was always quick to respond and willing to show us any listing that we had interest in. Martha is always available and easy to get ahold of. I would definitely recommend Martha May for anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home especially in the Glenview area!

This was our 2nd time working with Martha and we wouldn’t have had it any other way. This time, she sold our place we bought 8 years ago. Martha was always available, answered all our questions in a timely manner and always had an upbeat positive attitude. Her years of experience and dedication shine through. Martha is a true professional and gave us excellent advice throughout the process. I highly recommend Martha for your real estate needs.

This is the second time I have used Martha May as my real estate agent. Martha was very professional and a pleasure to work with. The first weekend the house was on the market we had three offers. In spite of Covid-19 the house sold right away thanks to Martha May. She helped close the deal even though we had moved out of state. I highly recommend using Martha as your realtor.

Our experience with Martha was flawless from beginning to end! She is experienced, knowledgeable, responsive and a great person with whom to partner for such an important event as selling your home!! We loved working with Martha and would highly recommend her to others.

Great to deal with, will use Martha’s services again.

Martha May is a consummate professional. I wouldn’t think of using another agent. Things went very smoothly. Thanks.

Great experience

Martha is a consummate professional. She is well seasoned and knows exactly what she is doing. Martha is very obtainable. Every time we called, she picked up the phone. She must have the phone glued to her ear. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed working with Martha. Our sale was not an easy one because of a unique situation with our house. Despite that, Martha put up with all of the difficulties and always remained professional. She was always available and came to every house showing. We were so delighted to work with her and would highly recommend anybody use her for the sale of their house. We truly feel that you will not find a better, harder working agent than Martha May.

We purchased and sold our Lincoln Park condo with Martha. She is a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her! Thanks ever so much! It was so fun working with you and I will miss you!

Martha repeatedly and enthusiastically drove to the city from her home in Lake Forest to help us find a home in a difficult market on a short deadline. She was as comfortable traipsing through chest-high weeds at down-to-the-studs renovation projects as she was in fully remodeled properties helping us critique fixtures and finishes. She was available to us night and day, and we couldn’t have become first-time homeowners without her expertise and experience. We’re thrilled with our new home and so thankful to have had Martha with us every step of the way!

We met Martha seven years ago when we relocated to Chicago, she was incredibly helpful. Her experience in the North Shore area was instrumental to help us to find the right home on the right location for our family. When we were ready to downsize, we did not hesitate a minute on calling her to help us find a new place and to sell our home. She really understands the market, your needs, and very passionate about her work… she is the best!!

Martha May is the best professional Realtor in the North Shore and all of Chicago. She is patient, honest, transparent and caring. If you are in need of the BEST Realtor, please contact Martha May to sell your property and purchase your dream home! Thank you, Martha May!! I appreciate your leadership.

Martha May did an excellent job. As first time home sellers, we needed a little hand holding and she was with us every step of the way.

Martha is a pro, through and through. She guided us (first-timers) with grace and strength, supporting us all the way. We felt very taken care of right up until closing. Further, without Martha’s expert negotiation advice, I don’t believe we would have gotten the property for the price we did. I would recommend Martha to anyone, selling or buying. Her many years of experience are brought to bear for her clients in obvious and advantageous ways. Selling and buying houses is stressful; Martha takes a lot of that stress away, carrying it for you. 🙂 Thanks again!

Martha went the extra mile with all of her conscientious caring and was so generous with all of her time, help, and support!

You have been great; we certainly made the right decision by going with you. We will absolutely recommend you to our friends.

Praise from a fellow agent…

Martha was an exceptional agent. She provided detailed information at all steps of the sales transaction. I was very impressed with her helpful & instructive details. Her communication skills were totally in line with my expectations of what a realtor should do. Thank You Martha

Martha May was so willing to work with us again. She is very knowledgeable about the community and surrounding areas. She understands the buyer and does her best to stand up for the seller (us) trying to get the best price and other things that go with selling a house. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a great Realtor.

Trust me when I tell you, I’ve had nothing but an amazing experience with Martha as my Realtor not to mention, she found me my dream home. Martha was referred to me by a dear friend who highly recommended her after I had a bad experience with a previous Realtor. At each step in the whole process Martha came through with her commitment to excellence. She is very patient and highly knowledgeable about the market and always made me very like I was her top priority. I highly recommend Martha to anyone who is looking to buy a home, I know they will be well taken care of.

I recently used Martha May as my agent to sell my home in Glenview. While this was a difficult market, she did an amazing job at informing me of market changes and suggested actions to stay ahead of things. She has tremendous attention to detail. She met each prospective buyer at the house personally which was above and beyond, so she had direct feedback very quickly. She was very supportive and patient with changing circumstances and we worked well together. She was never pushy but would make suggestions with rationale and allow me to decide how to proceed. She knows the market very well and is very proactive. She was honest and direct which I appreciated. I cannot recommend her more strongly. I have sold 10 houses and she was the best agent I have ever worked with!

Martha is truly a master at her craft! I was so very impressed with her preparation and industry knowledge. Right from our initial meeting I knew I was in good hands. Her communication skills were exceptional and her patience with a first-time home seller was much appreciated. I can’t imagine ever going through another realtor. She was incredibly responsive when calling/texting and always made me feel like I was her top priority. I highly recommend Martha to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their home, she will not disappoint!

Martha May has always been available when I need an answer to a question about a property.  This is the third time Martha has represented me and I have recommended her to my friends.
