Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR®) Accredited Senior Agent Senior Real Estate Specialist
Celebrating over 11-years as a Realtor, Windsor-Essex County’s Alison Martel views her role in assisting both buyers and sellers as more than a career; it’s a responsibility and opportunity to make a positive impact on others’ lives.
Home buyers and sellers have their money on the line and Alison doesn’t take that lightly. “I take time to get to know each of my clients personally. It’s not only one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives but an extremely emotional one as well,” she explains. “Understanding what my clients wants and needs are is an important first step to helping guide them through the real estate process successfully.”
“I can easily relate to my buyers because of my own personal life experiences. I understand the excitement of buying your first home, the need to buy a larger home as your family grows, the uncertainty after divorce of selling a marital home, and the sorrow of losing a loved one and needing to settle an estate,” she says. “Being invited into people’s lives during these critical moments is the greatest responsibility. I strive hard to earn the trust and respect they have given to me.”
Priding herself on having a hands-on approach, Alison is committed to providing her clients with outstanding customer service from start to finish. She makes sure that they have all the pertinent facts, and that they understand the legalese in their contracts.
Alison is known for her easy-going, friendly attitude, but when her client’s interests are at stake, her intense loyalty, tenacity, negotiating skills and out-of the-box problem-solving abilities come to the forefront.
Prior to becoming a realtor, Alison worked in the interior design industry. Today she uses her home décor expertise to help prepare her clients’ homes for resale, providing each of her sellers with a complimentary home staging consultation. “Living in a home and selling a home are two different things. Buyers need a blank canvas to be able to envision their lives unfolding there. You need them to connect to the property the moment they walk through the door.”
During her downtime, Alison enjoys spending time with her family, travelling and giving back to the community in which she lives, volunteering time & donating to local charities. “It’s a great joy to help others. I am thankful that my success has allowed me the ability to assist those in need.”
When asked what she appreciates most about being a Realtor, Alison says it’s the fact that each day brings something — or someone new. The variety keeps her fresh and on her toes, and the friendships she enjoys with present and past clients brings a special richness to her life.
