"Meghan brokered the sale of our home expertly, efficiently and we sold it to the perfect buyer without ever even going on the market! Both parties felt extremely lucky to have Meghan working the deal. She made the process extremely easy and navigated the needs of all parties with an effortless blend of personal warmth and operational excellence. That is rare to find. She’s one of a kind and we are so blessed to have had her working on our behalf and helping us through the sale. Her experience, knowledge, professionalism and work ethic are top notch. On a personal level she is kind, thoughtful and genuine and I’m grateful to now call her my friend!! Thank you Meg!!"

"Meghan was professional, kind, and honest. She was extremely efficient and I enjoyed working with her on the sale of my property. She used a win win approach to negotiate a fair price for both us and the buyer."

Patricia Giardina

"Meghan is the most amazing, charismatic, honest, thorough, organized and professional REALTOR^® we have ever worked with and we have bought and sold many homes over the years. We were selling our vacation rental and wanted a REALTOR^® who could really market our Unit and who also knows all the nuances of the area. This was the most stress-less selling experience we ever experienced! We will only use Meghan Martinez, Beach Collective for all our future real estate needs."

Marlene Suarez

"Sarah made the selling process so easy for us. She was so accommodating even with our fur babies. She went above and beyond at every turn for us. I would and have recommended her to anyone buying or selling their home."

Jodelle and Bud Tremain

"I introduced myself to Meghan after eavesdropping on her conversation at the nail salon. I thought, from her conversation, that she was the type of person we would want to do business with, and I was right! Meghan guided us through the sale of our home spectacularly. She went above and beyond getting the "win-win" deal put together and got us to closing ahead of time! I strongly recommend Meghan Martinez, she knows what she is doing and gets things done!"

Photos & Marketing

We only get one chance to make a great first impression. So photography is EVERYTHING when it comes to listing your home. We work with our team of professional photographers and videographers to ensure we have beautiful imagery to create a completely digital and print marketing package.

Showings

Our team will work with you and your management team if necessary to coordinate Open Houses, virtual tours, and private showings. Our goal is to get as much exposure for your home as possible, so our team is committed to making the showing process hassle-free.

Gathering Feedback

We make it a priority to connect with each agent who tours the home and gather feedback. Each week, we share that with you, along with information about how many showings we have had and how many people are interacting with the listing online.

Offers & Negotiation

We’ll work with you to evaluate each offer, explain the terms and help you understand the real value of each contract. Together, we’ll determine our negotiation strategy with the goal of getting you the best price and best terms for your home.

Contingency Period

If the buyer has a financing contingency, our team will work with their agent to track the loan progress and ensure a timely approval. If they have an inspection contingency, we’ll work with their agent to review the inspection report and evaluate any repair requests.

Closing

We will work with the title company to make arrangements for you to close at their local office, or remotely from your home or office. Our commitment to being your local resource doesn’t end on closing day. Whether you plan to purchase another home in the area or need help connecting with an agent in another market, The Beach Collective is your team.
