Marguerite Martin - Tacoma Real Estate Agent

Marguerite not only knows Tacoma so well, she also connected me to a great agent. Marguerite listened to what I wanted, in a home and agent, and made sure I was all set with the agent she referred. She's easy to talk to and has so much insider Tacoma knowledge that she freely shares. Highly recommend!

So glad I found Marguerite. She spent the time to hear about a challenging experience with previous agent. She connected us to Melo Hogan who was the perfect fit. Met her, I think next day we saw a house and she got the offer in less than 45 min. We got the house! Thanks Marguerite for connecting us!

Marguerite is the best Tacoma real estate agent. She helped my partner and I find a perfect fit agent to buy a property in Pierce County. She did fantastic matchmaking for my family as well, pairing them with awesome agents to sell their homes. Great advice and always readily available. Thanks!

Marguerite is the best Tacoma real estate broker match maker in the business. I have been working with Marguerite Martin and her Move to Tacoma crew of referring partners since 2013. Many of our Seattle clients have been relocating to Tacoma over the last decade. They sell their home in Seattle with our team and ask us who we would work with in Tacoma. I immediately connect them Marguerite Martin who is by far the best real estate broker match maker in Tacoma. She knows exactly who to connect our clients with in and around the Tacoma and South King Country region. The education tools and reference materials Marguerite provides is some of the best in the industry. I wouldn't trust anyone else to work with our Seattle real estate clients in Tacoma more than Marguerite. Trust that Marguerite knows exactly who to connect you with for your home buying and selling journey in Tacoma.

When I moved to Tacoma I found Marguerite's website, movetotacoma.com to be an invaluable resource as I was deciding which neighborhood was right for me, but I got a lot more than I was expecting. movetotacoma.com is more than just a few blog entries about Tacoma neighborhoods. Marguerite has explored the contours of the city's history, politics, and culture and created tons of incredible podcasts in order to bring her wealth of knowledge to anyone curious about Tacoma. Clearly, Marguerite is more than just a real estate agent. She's a maven of all things Tacoma. The good, the bad, and the ugly--she seems to know it all.
When I hear a friend expressing interest in moving to Tacoma, I always recommend Marguerite as Tacoma's realtor par excellence.

I’m originally from the UK, and my green card holder status and complete lack of familiarity with the US housing market was a real barrier for me beginning the process of buying my first home.

I shouldn’t have worried so much. Marguerite talked me through everything, answered my questions, and helped me hone in on what was important to me. Once we’d established that she found me an incredible lender that got me sorted out on the finance side.

With my finances were sorted Marguerite then introduced me to an incredible local agent to search for my new home - but was always close at hand for advice throughout the process.
It took a little while to find the right place, but Marguerite had built an incredible team around me with the knowledge and support I needed, even with my unusual situation.

Thanks to Marguerite and the whole team for taking such great care of me.

My husband and I owned a condo in downtown Tacoma. We reached out to Marguerite for advice when we were considering selling. She helped us understand pricing and market conditions and when we finally decided to sell, she continued to be an amazing resource. She brought on a colleague who specializes in listing and marketing condos in downtown Tacoma. Our place looked SO GOOD in the listing and got multiple offers. It was a smooth transaction, partly because Marguerite and her colleague let us know what to expect during the process.

We are now beginning another home search and are again reaching out to Marguerite for advice. We love her realness and honestly as well as her real estate expertise, so we know she will give us great service and advice. We highly, highly recommend her!

Marguerite is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and fun! She helped match my partner and I with the perfect real estate agent to help us buy our first home in Tacoma and we couldn't be happier. As first time home buyers in a crazy market, Marguerite's expertise and guidance was essential to our success. Thank you, Marguerite!

When my husband and I wanted to buy a home in Seattle during an extremely competitive housing market, we asked Marguerite for a recommendation for a real estate agent. We shared a bit with her about what type of home and neighborhood we wanted, and she was able to introduce us to our incredible real estate agent. We absolutely loved our realtor and not only did we click personally, but our agent was able to write us the winning offer in a multiple offer situation (and it was on the first home we offered on no less. We were very happy!).

We ended up using this same realtor that Marguerite recommended to us to sell our condo in Capitol Hill in November 2020 (yeahhh, in the midst of a pandemic and an election...). It had multiple offers and sold in just 72 hours for above our asking price. It's a real challenge to sell condos in Seattle right now, and we were so thrilled with how ours did.

We feel so fortunate that we reached out to Marguerite for a real estate recommendation. Marguerite does not mess around when it comes to recommending high quality real estate professionals—she really does know the best agents!

Marguerite=the ultimate matchmaker in Tacoma real estate. She has (1) genuine connections to a wide network of local real estate professionals — (2) the ability to quickly assess your needs as a buyer/seller — (3) an encyclopedic knowledge of Tacoma/Pierce County neighborhoods. Call her first! She facilitated the referral I needed to a seller’s agent in 2021, and I can’t recommend her more highly.

Marguerite was SO GREAT about advising about the different parts of Tacoma that we had never even considered. She referred us to the right agent and landed in the perfect neighborhood for our family. She is truly the ultimate real estate match maker. In fact, I am often writing her website and contact info on post-its and napkins to hand out to others. When a colleague from another state mentioned he wanted to move to Tacoma, I gave him Marguerite's contact info and she helped him learn more about Tacoma and find the perfect agent for him and his wife.

I not only work with Marguerite on the financing side of the Real Estate business but she has also helped me in purchasing my home! It's such a different feeling when you are in the thick of the buying process yourself. All of the emotions that we see our clients go through on a daily basis and helping them along the way and then that client was me! I work with some of the top Realtors in the Tacoma area and there is definitely a reason I chose Marguerite to represent me! I always knew how great she was because of how all of our clients and my team loved working with her over the years but to actually work with her on such an important investment in my own life like that I can honestly say she is hands down one of the best in the business!

As a former Real Estate Agent, I have constantly recommended Marguerite over the years as a real estate agent or as a matchmaker that can find the perfect fit for someone looking to buy or sell their property.

I am an avid follower of her great work not only in real estate but for the community as a valuable information source for those looking to move to Tacoma or those looking how to get involved in Social Justice. Marguerite knows how to get people talking about things they may feel uncomfortable talking about. She is a leader in the real estate industry locally but more and more on the national scene.

Buying a home with Marguerite was an excellent experience from beginning to end. She is professional, well-informed, responsive, honest, kind, and fun! Fun may not seem important at the outset, but buying a home can be stressful at times and having a realtor with a sense of humor who can bring some levity to the situation cannot be understated as a virtue.

The best part is, of course, that her dazzling personality is just the beginning. She brings the goods. She really knows her stuff and exhibits excellent judgment. Her experience becomes very obvious as soon as the process begins. She gave us very sound and measured advice when we asked for it and we were grateful for both her wisdom and her equanimity.

It should be noted that we were buying our home, sight unseen, from over 5,000 miles away! We were continents and time zones away and still felt completely confident with Marguerite by our side. She went above and beyond the Realtor call of duty and took endless videos of properties for us, answered lots of inane questions that could have been answered had we been there personally to see the homes, and somehow just made the distance melt away. Everyone kept asking how we could possibly feel comfortable buying from such a distance and my answer was always the same: if Marguerite were your agent, you'd understand.

One last thing, as a native Tacoman and a downtown dweller, Marguerite knows this town, which is definitely something you want from your Realtor. She's like an encyclopedia of knowledge about Tacoma and environs which can be very useful for transplants like us.

If you're buying a home in the Tacoma area, Marguerite's your Realtor.

Marguerite is one of the smartest savviest women I know in the real estate industry. She has a deep understanding the ins and outs of the market in Tacoma and has the best real estate website in the city. Whenever I have a buyer looking to move from Seattle to Tacoma I send them to Marguerite's site "Move to Tacoma" before they make any decisions. Her site is a wealth of information on Tacoma's neighborhoods and community and she will never steer you wrong when it comes to finding the right place to call home.

Working with Marguerite was amazing. She knew exactly what we wanted and worked very hard to make it all as stress free as possible. She did a wonderful job of listening to my husband and I and finding us the perfect house. She balanced our different ideas and needs. I would, and almost did, let her just pick my house out for me. She found the perfect house, at the perfect price in the perfect neighborhood. She is truly the best!

As first time home buyers, we had so little expertise about buying our first home, and we were incredibly anxious about making the right decision for our future. With Marguerite's help, we navigated the overwhelming process. She make herself available every second of the day and night to answer our questions or to soothe our conflicting thoughts. When it came down to the signing the paperwork, the bank threw an unexpected curve ball and she went to bat for us, swinging a better deal in our favor. It's been 10 years since we bought that home, and even though we've moved on to another location, I would still never change that experience with Marguerite. She will always be our forever realtor. Thanks for all your hard work Marguerite!

We were first time home buyers but were told that the home buying process could be a huge nightmare. Especially with the affordable starter homes we were looking for. Thankfully we had Marguerite with us because she made the entire process extremely easy and she was there to help us in every step of the home buying process! From inspections to our signing documents she was with us all of the way. She even came out at 11:30PM to give us our keys for our new house! Talk about dedication.

From our whacky requests to my stupid questions Marguerite was there to help us get the answers to everything. If you're a first time home buyer in the or want to skip out on the home buying headache in the South Sound I would highly recommend working with Marguerite.

Marguerite is the best, full stop. As a professional, she was savvy and knowledgeable, and diligently persisted to obtain us the best possible outcome. On the personal level, Marguerite is a delight to interact with. She makes the difficult (and sometimes scary) process of buying or selling a home as seamless as possible. I implicitly trust Marguerite, and would recommend her services to anyone!

I have worked with Marguerite for decades. I have always been able to turn to her for reliable advice and direction. She is an extremely knowledgeable, fantastic professional with immense energy. She is very dedicated to cultivating the most progressive education in her field. She is not afraid to refer me to another agent in her extensive network when she knows someone else has expertise in a specialized area. I refer Marguerite to all my friends and family.
