★★★★★ “I have been blessed to work with Martin, he is the best realtor I have ever met. He was extremely patient with us, always on time and helped to navigate around different, sometimes difficult properties. For sure he is our go to person when it comes to real estate. We ended up buying a move that he helped to negotiate the final price. I would highly recommend Martin to anyone!”

– Zsolt K, Sherman Oaks, CA

★★★★★ “I never would have sold my house were it not for Martin! From the very beginning he carefully planned how it all would go, such as: when to have the open house, how to list it, the photographs and the staging. He had the complete campaign in mind from day one. As a result of his conscientious approach, we sold the house in three days for (well over asking); which he anticipated when he priced my home (just right) to make sure buyers would come and look. His pleasant demeanor and chill attitude put potential buyers at ease, as he sold them on the qualities of their new home. But that wasn't the end of the road. There were some minor issues during the contingency period and Martin stayed on top of things and through extra effort got the deal to contract. He even was able to help me push the contractor to expedite the repairs requested by the buyers. He had worked with me to find the house in the first place and his keen eye and excellent taste (his background is art direction and graphic design) made sure we found a beautiful home. Plus, when I needed to find a bigger place, he led the charge! He was a hero from beginning to end and I wouldn't undertake a real estate sale (or purchase) without him.”

– Lee P, Cathedral City, CA

★★★★★ “Marty IS a full-service realtor. From our first meeting it was apparent that he knows real estate, the challenges, the complex ins and outs, and is ready to handle them ALL on behalf of his clients. We could not be happier with how he managed the sale of a family home that had been with us for 41 years. He had a good pricing strategy, understood the regulatory requirements, and brought in the Buyers. We are so happy with the final deal, the lovely family who bought our home, and all the hands-on care Marty provided. At every turn he went above and beyond. He was calm, cool, and collected and helped us navigate the stress of selling an historic home. Thank you Marty!”

– Laura T, Harvard Heights, CA

★★★★★ “We would like to offer our unqualified praise for Martin Withrow as a real estate agent. During our house-hunting over the past six months or so, Marty was a wise and trusted presence, guiding us through a number of challenging searches until we found just the right place for us in Rancho Mirage. Marty’s approach to negotiations was always sensible, encouraging, and friendly, and he looked out for our interests with tough-minded commitment. If you’re about to embark on a real-estate journey, as either buyer or seller, you’d be well-advised to have Martin Withrow as your agent. Bravo, Marty!”

– Arnie & Debby J, Rancho Mirage, CA

★★★★★ “Martin sold my house in Oxnard and I couldn’t be happier with the entire process! He’s an incredible realtor with so much knowledge and patience. He recommended some painting and design ideas to improve the house so it could sell easier and faster. Then he connected me with the Compass Concierge program to help me do all of those suggestions and it was so easy and fantastic! He also recommended that I stage the house which I did and it made a huge difference visually. I followed everything he suggested and the house turned out gorgeous and it sold faster than I expected it to. I was a first time seller and it was emotional for me at times and a bit confusing but he strategized every step of the way with me. He explained every detail to me and was always very calm and professional. He also had such a positive attitude, and was friendly and kind to everyone. He went above and beyond whenever needed. I would recommend him to everyone I know, thank you Martin! He is as good as it gets in the real estate world.”

– Roxana Z, Oxnard, CA

★★★★★ “I recently worked with Marty to purchase a weekend condo in Palm Springs. In addition to his knowledge of the LA area, he has also lived in the desert and knows a lot about the various neighborhoods and details. We spent several weekends looking at open houses and he had good experience and opinions about the specific places I was interested in, market conditions, local agents, and more. We made several offers and got one accepted on a condo that I am totally in love with. In the closing process, Marty was knowledgeable, helpful, and made sure everything happened smoothly. Would (and already have) highly recommend him!”

– Doug A, Palm Springs, CA

★★★★★ "I cannot thank Martin enough for his help for me to purchase my first home. His patience, expertise, and transparency really helped me to find the home that I love and now own! He never once pushed me to do things that I was uncomfortable with, and he provided so many guidance, options, and explanations for me to make the best decision. If you are looking for an honest hard-working champion on your side, look no further and give Martin a call! " 

– Howard Y, Studio City, CA

★★★★★My property was not an easy one to sell. I had full confidence in Marty when I asked him to represent me. He is very, very good at communicating. The advice Marty offered was sound; and I listened to all of it. When that 1 offer came in, we had no idea how tough the next few weeks were going to be! Many, many phone calls. Back and forth with the buyers and their agent. I am so grateful for Marty and his skills. He walked me through everything. He handled the other parties with courtesy and respect. End game - close of escrow in a timely manner. I can tell you right now, that when I am ready to sell my other property, I will be calling you, Marty! Thank you so very much in getting me through this." 

– Karen L, Silverlake, CA

★★★★★Martin was recommended as the Palm Springs expert by a colleague in his office. From the first point of contact, I knew Martin was highly professional, experienced and made a point to put the client first. He knew exactly what needed to be done to get the properties ready to be sold and went over and above to take on some of those tasks himself to get the process moving, especially since we were not located in the market. It is such a pleasure to work with someone who answers all your questions, provides solutions and gets the end result as expected for the client. We are very happy it all worked out the way we wanted, congratulations to Marty and the team for a speedy and successful sale." 

– Joshua G, West Hollywood

★★★★★We were thrilled to work with Marty. He timed the sale of our condo perfectly and had an open house to local brokers immediately after it went on the market. As a result we had a committed buyer within 10 days. Marty kept us positive if we got a little discouraged. We would highly recommend him! Thank you Marty for all your help! We really appreciate you! " 

– Roger G & Daniel L, Palm Springs, CA

★★★★★We live in LA and bought in Palm Springs. Marty is a professional who really knows the area and helped us in so many ways from finding our home to recommending local trades people. What a lovely person and a great experience! " 

– Carol & Allen P, Cathedral City, CA

★★★★★Marty is fantastic. I was recommended to him by a friend after my husband and I had a bad experience with another realtor, an experience that left us feeling a bit discouraged about finding a house in the competitive LA market. Knowing this, Marty worked very hard to find us the perfect house and he delivered. He found us a great house in a great neighborhood perfect for raising a family. And it was during the negotiation process that Marty's expertise really came through. We put in an offer on a house that was listed for sale in "as-is" condition. However, once we had the inspection and we discovered a number of issues that needed to be fixed, Marty was able to get the sellers to come down $25,000 despite the "as-is" sale. My husband and I both appreciated Marty's work and we would not hesitate to recommend him to others. " 

– Cassandra & Joe P, Glendale, CA

★★★★★If you are looking for an extraordinary realtor, you need to work with Marty Withrow. He will go above and beyond every step of the way for you. He will even help you find contractors once you own the place! Honestly, there is nothing that this man will not do to put you in the home of your dreams. If you’re looking for a realtor, don’t hesitate to call Marty today! " 

– Lauree E & Mark H, Koreatown, CA

★★★★★I enjoyed working with Marty very much and will have him help me in my future search for a new home. Highlights: - Always available by phone, text and emails. - Worked very hard to negotiate for me and close the deal. - Friendly and trust worthy sales agent. " 

– Wayne A, San Francisco, CA

★★★★★We found Marty at one of his open houses and although we did not end up purchasing that home, he was very helpful in telling us about the real estate market in the Palm Springs area, about which we were not yet familiar. He pointed us to a development that perfectly suited our tastes and budget, and then assisted us in working with the developer to purchase a home. Marty was always very responsive to our needs and it was a pleasure to work with him! " 

– Steve S & Stella C, Simi Valley, CA

★★★★★A rare find is the best way to describe Marty! I have bought and sold homes all over the United States and work in a real estate related profession. After working with Marty for my home search, I would rank him as an outstanding performer in all areas that make an exceptional real estate agent. I am a very particular home buyer and demand a lot from an agent, not only for information about the area, but also recent home sales, etc. Not only is Marty knowledgeable, but he was willing to listen to my likes and dislikes and patiently arranged for me to see any home that interested me. Being that this was a family purchase; he was very accommodating to different family member's schedules. Of course, because of his deep familiarity of the inventory of available homes in the market place, he was able to save me time by providing me with detailed information on homes and communities. He always immediately communicated new listings, which was very helpful. I would highly recommend Marty! He is the best!! " 

– Deborah M, Desert Hot Springs, CA

★★★★★Marty was amazing. He was so quick to respond to any and all questions. He was knowledgable about the area and the process. He had great ideas and worked tirelessly to help sell our property, ensuring it stood out among all the other properties out there. I'd recommend him to anyone!!! " 

– David I, Palm Springs, CA

★★★★★Marty was super-great to work with. He understands that selling can be stressful and was able to help us through the process. He was always available to answer any questions and gave us excellent feedback that made our home standout for buyers. We know it sold quick thanks to his hard work." 

– Nathan I, Palm Springs, CA

★★★★★From our initial contact, through the various home tour to the negotiations, Martin was absolutely professional and confident with just the right amount of personal input. A very hard working, easy to get on with guy, a true pleasure to work with." 

– Peter S and Tim G, Indianapolis, IN

★★★★★My friends thought they would never find and purchase their own house again. Then Martin found them the perfect home. So when I decided to look in Palm Springs, he was the first and only person I contacted. Because of the Pandemic I was unable to travel, so I was dependent on him to guide me to the right place. He was very selective about the properties he sent me and completely honest about the pros and cons of the homes I considered. Martin was never pushing properties for a big sale or in a hurry just to close. He was a trusted partner throughout the entire enterprise. I couldn’t be happier with the home I finally purchased. It was like the conclusion of a House Hunters episode." 

– Lee P, Manhattan

★★★★★Marty was a great fit for us. His knowledge and years as a realtor in Los Angeles and Palm Springs has given him the perspective and patience it takes to manage clients and the real estate community with grace. He is not easily ruffled or frustrated and maintained a calm demeanor throughout the entire process, even when we did not. Marty was always a step ahead of everyone else. He is honest, timely, kind and understanding. His priorities as a professional are top notch. We felt completely supported through the entire process with Marty." 

– Randy and James, Toluca Lake

★★★★★The beginning of my Listing was rather a challenge, as my current realtor fell through at the last minute, which ended up being a blessing in disguise! I called Marty, as he was a neighbor and the whole experience ended up being way beyond my expectations. He is an exceptionally hard worker, excellent with his communications skills regarding all points of the listing and the actual contract. I never had to pick up a phone to find out what was going on. He was right there with information before I ever had time to call – and to add to that, he was extremely polite with a fabulous sense of humor. I would highly recommend Marty as your go to Realtor."

– Sandy C, Studio City
