Being your Realtor, I have only one goal - to help you sell or buy your next home and make your real estate experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
Selling or buying a home in the Bay Area is most likely the largest transaction you will be involved in and too often it can be a frustrating experience. As your personal agent, I measure my success one client at a time. Understanding your needs is an invaluable first step. Understanding the local market, putting your interest in front of mine and others, and keeping you informed every step of the way is part of what I do to provide the best service possible to my clients.
I was born in Hong Kong and moved to the Bay Area in 1975. I love the South Bay. I purchased my first home in 1978 and have been living in Cupertino since 1986.
I have always enjoyed helping people. The most gratifying part as a Realtor is to sense the appreciation from my clients when we close a transaction, knowing that I have done my share. Why not give me a call to see if I can help? Collapse

What Clients are Saying about Martin
|
| |
"Experience with Martin Ku was unique. He never sounded like a real-estate agent. He helped us a great deal. Especially when he made it a point to visit us rather than asking us to visit him every now and then. He is a definite asset for ZipRealty." - Swati Pathak
|
| |
| |
"When we started looking for a property in the South Bay Area, we found Martin's knowledge of the area to be extremely valuable. Martin was able to help us
research areas to look in based upon all our extensive criteria prior to our arrival in the area, so our actual time spent going out and looking at properties was only a couple of days. Once we chose a property, Martin was able to help us negotiate the best possible price, and then his knowledge of how to deal with the lender and title company got us closed in record time. This is the 5th time we have purchased a home, and it was definitely the smoothest and fastest. I would highly recommend Martin's services to the first time buyer, and the experienced buyer alike." - Ed & Kimiko Okerson

"Martin, We are very grateful for the great job you have done for us. You made buying a house a pleasant experience for me and Dmitri. We are happy with the house you helped us to buy. In this crazy seller market of Silicon Valley it's really hard to buy a house that you like. Thanks to your professionalism, we have got our dream house. We do appriciate your help. We will be happy to recommend you to all our friends who are looking for a new home." - Kate and Dmitri

"My wife and I have purchased several homes and this is
by far our best experience with our real estate agent.
Martin is very professional in dealing with the
transaction...and he reads all the
material before we see it which greatly helps us
through the process. I am an engineer by trade and I
like Martin's logical thinking process, and he is
very personable. He is extremely thorough and has a
good attention to detail...In future real estate deals I will call on Martin and I hightly recommend Martin to others." - Ivan and Jacquelin

"We found working with Martin in our quest for a home, to be a very pleasant one. We liked the fact that Martin picked up on our likes and dislikes for a home.
After visiting the first 2 or 3 homes, Martin was able to accurately hone in to what we were looking for. We appreciated Martin's suggestions & feedback on the
homes we visited, as they were honest and to the point. Martin's no-pressure sales style was a huge plus for us! Martin was very helpful with the entire sales process - explaining the different steps involved. Being under a lot of pressure at work, we fully appreciated the follow-up reminders for things that needed to get done - not just by us, but also for the mortgage company, escrow folks, etc. We would definitely recommend Martin to anyone - having already done so to 2 of our friends." - Shamyo Chatterjee & Mitali Seal

He was unflappable and was invaluable in smoothing over many of the bumps along the way to closing. Martin is a rare gem and we would not hesitate to work with him again for any future real estate transactions." - Huong Nguyen
