This article on Ed Martinez Five-Star Sarasota Florida Real Estate Agent Was PUBLISHED On September 12th, 2014
If you are a home buyer in the Sarasota, Florida area, Ed Martinez is the man to go to.
- I just closed on two deals recently with Mr. Martinez and was amazed at how this veteran realtor took the leadership role throughout the mortgage approval process and made the deal happen
- Ed first called me to see if I can help a first time home buyer get approved for a home he really wanted
- Ed really went beyond the call of duty in helping this young man get financing
- The issue with this home buyer was that he had a job where his employer paid him part check and part cash and had a tough time qualifying due to high debt to income ratios
- Long story short, Ed must have taken the file to half a dozen of his lenders but nobody was able to help him
- Most realtors would have given up and told the home buyer to wait until he had a steady income and to get his own mortgage lender
- That is not in Mr. Martinez
In this article, we will discuss and cover how Ed is the realtor of choice in Sarasota.
Mortgage Expertise
Ed is a realtor and not a mortgage loan originator.
- However, since no mortgage loan officer could help this home buyer, Mr. Martinez took the leadership role like a big brother and went to work
- Luckily, I found a correspondent lender that would take on this home buyer’s deal, but we had to go through hoops
- The home buyer was not the only issue
- The subject property did not pass appraisal inspection due to deferred maintenance
- Ed again coordinated with the sellers’ agent where the home buyer had access to do the repairs so we can pass the appraisal re-inspection
Another hurdle.
Taking The Leadership Role During The Home Buying Process
The appraiser that was supposed to come out to re-inspect the property ended up getting hospitalized and we had to wait until he was well again:
- Unfortunately, the appraiser passed and the appraisal was pretty much null and void
- The whole appraisal process needed to start all over again
- Long story short, there was one hurdle after another with this file
- The appraisal was not the only issue
- Condition after conditions kept on propping up on this file
- The seller and seller’s agent was about to throw in the towel
- The home buyer gave up and lost faith in buying his first home
- Ed would not give up and was always supportive and kept the home buyer, the home seller, and the seller’s agent all calm
We finally got a clear to close and the home closed thanks to Mr. Martinez.
A True Realtor Who Really Cares For His Clients: Ed Martinez
Witnessing how much Mr. Martinez cares for his clients, I had a pre-approved home buyer looking for a waterfront home for months with no luck. This home buyer had a realtor who would not return her phone calls and pretty much told her that it was almost next to impossible to get a waterfront property under $300,000. I referred this client to Ed Martinez. Within 3 weeks, Mr. Ed Martinez has found her a waterfront property under $300,000 and we recently closed on the home.
Mr. Martinez is by far my realtor of choice and our company, Gustan Cho Associates.
