Questions I Hear About Martinez

How does Martinez compare to Pleasant Hill or Benicia?

Martinez offers a walkable historic downtown and active waterfront, with a mix of vintage homes and view streets. Pleasant Hill trends more suburban; Benicia adds small-town waterfront charm across the bridge.

Do you handle discreet sales?

Yes. When appropriate, I provide off-market previews and targeted outreach, while preparing full media for a public launch if plans change.

Can you help with HOA/townhome questions?

Absolutely. I coordinate with HOAs so buyers understand fees, rules, and community amenities early in the process.
