2020 COVID & Beyond
2020 was a remarkably active year in the San Mateo County residential real estate market. Despite its challenges, people continued to purchase and sell homes. Amid the many challenges from COVID-19 a new era of working and learning from home was ushered in and along with it the need for additional living space. The desire to be within closer proximity to outdoor recreational areas infused both the buyer and seller pools. Some homeowners moved out of state, while others downsized into a condo or gated community. Many renters became homeowners, while others are still rethinking their living situations.
The buyer pool remains active and motivated by the low interest rate financing opportunities that continue to prevail. Our real estate marketplace is doing well and continues to be vibrant as we begin 2021.

Martha sold my condo in San Mateo - 3 days on the market and at a great price! I depended on Martha for advice on how best to sell my condo. She advised me what repairs to make and which ones I could skip. We had an issue with the HOA and she worked through that issue diligently and effectively so that my sale was not held up. The work that she did saved me a lot of time …

This was my first time selling property and I therefore had no idea what I was doing. But Martha made it a breeze; she was wonderful. She was diligent, friendly, patient to a fault, and available at a moment's notice to answer my questions. I can't recommend her highly enough!

If you are looking for someone who is reliable, resourceful, patient and knowledgeable, Martha is the right real estate agent. Without having Martha as my real estate agent, I don’t think I would have gone through the process of purchasing my first house. Thank you Martha! I highly recommend her.

Martha is a fantastic real estate agent and I would highly recommend her. She listened to exactly what I was looking for in a house and where I wanted to buy (location). She was extremely detailed oriented, and helped me through every part of the buying process, and was so patient with me through a difficult mortgage process. I would use her again in a second and …
