About Meredith Martin

I like a good challenge, which is how I ended up in the real estate world. It all started in the early 1990s - the original dotcom boom - when there were still romantic old warehouse buildings that people dreamed of restoring and converting into live/work spaces. These were the kinds of wildly creative, intensely intelligent people who looked at things in entirely new ways, and you had to be on your toes to keep up. Like I said - it's a challenge.

 

In the 29 years since, I’ve had the good fortune of representing countless sellers, buyers, developers, and investors in a market unlike any on the planet. My goal, always, is to be an advocate, guide, and negotiator, and to empower my clients to make informed decisions that meet their real needs. Many times, this kind of working relationship becomes a true friendship - an unexpected and delightful perk.

 

I’ve learned over the years that it is almost always the unknowns that cost the most in any real estate transaction. With my own properties in San Francisco, the peninsula, Marin, Oakland, Reno, and Sydney, Australia, I’ve been on all sides of the negotiating table and I’ve learned how to consider every deal from every angle. That’s how you identify risk, determine what’s acceptable, and make a plan. It’s challenging, but it turns out, that’s where I thrive.
