Judy was very responsive and was accessible with regards to seeing properties. She coordinated multiple times with the seller's agent and was very friendly.

I cannot begin to find the words to adequately thank Judy for everything she did for me during the house purchase process.
Her professionalism, expertise, and above all, her high integrity won my trust and gave me peace of mind. I had not purchased a home in several years, so the process was at times somewhat overwhelming and confusing. Despite this, she was always extremely patient in answering all of my questions; clearly explaining anything, even more than once, whenever I asked.
As a very busy mother of two teens with a demanding job, her diligence and reliability were invaluable to me. She sincerely looked out for my best interests and dedicated numerous hours and energy on my behalf.
As a real estate agent, I am sure she had other clients who also had important needs and potential home purchases that would yield more commission for her than mine. But not for one second did I ever feel that I was not a priority or an inconvenience. She listened to me and understood my needs, which made me feel valued as a client.
If she is not already teaching classes on real estate and client engagement, she definitely should consider doing so, as she is the model that all in the profession should deem as the absolute gold standard.

My husband and I were first time home buyers. Our bank recommended Century 21 Redwood Realty to help us with our home search. We were paired with Judy Martin at the Gaithersburg office. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Judy. As first time home buyers, the whole process felt overwhelming until Judy stepped in.
When we found the first house we were wanted to bid on, she had us come to the office in Gaithersburg in the evening (after hours) to sign the papers in person. She had us do this so that she could carefully explain each part of the contract/bid we were submitting and how to read and understand all of the disclosures. After this first time, I felt pretty confident with the contracts.
Because of the strong market we put in 4 offers (!) over a 60 day period and we looked at over 40 houses. Judy was patience and understanding through the whole process. She made several recommendations for other professionals, such as title/settlement companies and inspectors. She helped us through the whole process and promised we would find the perfect home for us.
She is truly a professional, an expert at her craft and just an easy person to work with. She made the whole process less daunting and did so with care and great sense of humor. She also made herself completely available as my husband and I work unusual hours. I highly recommend Judy.

Judy helped us sell our house. We can not say enough great things about Judy.
If we have to describe our experience with her, "pleasant, responsive and calm". First of all, we were impressed with her marketing. We wanted to hear a realistic opinion from a professional in the real estate business when we were looking for our agent. She had clear advise and tools to market our house. Secondly, she is a great communicator - always available if we needed to talk or ask questions. Lastly, her thirty-some years of experience says it all in every aspect through our transaction. The process of sale can be emotional and stressful at the time. She understood our philosophy and helped us through the transaction with her pleasant professionalism.
We highly recommend her to anyone who wants to sell or buy. We were lucky that we found her!

Judy Martin was great, easy to work with, knows her stuff. She made the whole buying experience so smooth. She also recommended local contractors that can help us fix up our house. I would highly recommend her to others.

Judy was great in every aspect. I had no issues with communication at all. She was available to me whenever I needed something. Great experience! I have worked with two previous realtors and was disappointed and wary of anyone else. Judy is amazing! I would recommend her to friends and family. She was patient and easy to talk to and willing to answer any question. I would 110% go to Judy again. No complaints she was truly a blessing to my situation.

It was a delight to work with Judith Martin. I would highly recommend her to all my friends and families Her performance in all areas were more than excellent. She was always available by phone/ email and showed us houses at a convenient time with short notice. She is very polite, trustworthy, and patient. I liked that she never pushed us to buy a house we weren't sure about. It was a pleasant experience to work with someone who has a friendly personality like Judith Martin.

This is the 2nd home Judy Martin has helped me to purchase. As always, she was attentive, respectful, knowledgeable and a great guide through the entire process. I am extremely pleased with this purchase and I glad Judy was there for me again.

I was a first-time homebuyer. Judy was patient and answered all my questions thoroughly. Most importantly she was an advocate for me. I greatly appreciate all of her help, experience, and knowledge.

My wife and I recently moved across the country from San Diego to Maryland and were lucky enough to find Judy. We were first time home buyers and my wife only had one afternoon to look at houses on her visit to Maryland before we moved. Judy accompanied my wife to look at a couple of houses and we initially decided on one, but found another we thought would be a better fit for our family after my wife had returned to California. Judy was kind enough to drive a good distance out of her way to look at the home for us, and upon seeing it told us she thought it was a great fit. She was spot on. Not only did we find our dream home based solely on pictures and her opinion, but we were able to close on it within a couple of weeks. The level of service and attentiveness she provides is truly unparalleled and you will be hard-pressed to find a realtor better than Judy. Both she and her contacts made buying our first home an absolute pleasure. Call her and find out for yourself, she is amazing! Thanks, Judy!

Judy was a great agent, and I would highly recommend her to my friends/family and anyone looking to buy a house in general. The process was smooth from start to finish and she was very accessible whether via phone calls, text, or emails. She is patient, polite, and professional and any new homebuyer should feel comfortable working with her. I chose her over 3 other agents, largely because of how candid, honest, and forthcoming she was. The process was exceptional.

Judy Martin went above and beyond for my family. She was understanding, patient, warm, and caring. She also was incredibly knowledgeable. She contacted us as soon as we requested information and was fantastic about sending us samples of the houses that were available within our budget and target area for when we made our way to Maryland to view houses (we were transferring from Washington state). She personally reviewed the vast majority of houses we were interested in to see if they would fit our needs. When we decided on our new home, understanding our mentality of being aggressive buyers and our sense of urgency, she was incredibly fast with the paperwork. We viewed our home on Tuesday, and she managed to set up a home inspection for Friday while we still in Maryland.
The paperwork was handled very efficiently, and Judy made sure to try to make it as stress-free as possible. She kept in touch with us throughout the entire process and was at the house for every inspection and step of the way.
Again, we can't express how amazing Judy was during all of this. It was very stressful selling our home in Washington and buying a home at the same time. Judy made what could have been a very frustrating experience a smooth and easy as possible. She went above and beyond for us. And when we finally arrived at our new home, there was a lovely personal house warming gift (two Starbucks destination mugs - we'd told Judy about our vast collection of all the places we'd been) waiting for us. I would recommend Judy to anyone, and when the time comes for us to transfer again, should we decide to sell our home, we'll be calling Judy.
