To Whom It May Concern:
It is my pleasure to recommend Martina Brankovsky as a real estate agent for any individual or family looking to purchse or sell a home.
My husband and I first connected with her to discuss the possibility of searching for a new family home. Martina had an initial meeting with us and took notes regarding our interests and features we are looking for in a single family home, our budget, and our search area. After this meeting, she did not waste time to set up daily emails with new listings, book visits, and communicate regularly with search tips and feedback. Her knowledge of the housing market in the area and detailed research helped us to find a perfect home in no time.
Martina used skilful and fair negotiations to complete a deal that was both good for us and made the seller happy as well. Throughout this home buying process, she also managed to sell our bungalow for an excellent price, using strategies to bring us 7 offers within a week. Her honest and real approach to the sale process, along with her creative staging tips and her incredible eye for details, encouraged us to quickly prepare our home for sale. Martina used many mediums to reach out to prospective clients and agents, including personal invitations to the community, various digital advertising, and open houses for both the buyers and agents.
Martina was a highly attentive agent and readily available to answer all of our questions. She took a potentially stressful buying/selling situation and made it seamless and exciting.
I am pleased to recommend Martina and the Brankovsky team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. I have no doubt that you will be in very capable hands with this real estate team.

Hi Martina
We CAN'T believe that it's been a year. How does the time fly? In some ways it feels like only yesterday that we were looking at scary houses with unflushed toilets and camping out in front of the Shaw St house in the rain. In other ways, it feels like we've been here for ages.
The house certainly is home to us. Thanks again for all your help in getting us such an awesome house!!!
Hope to see you soon!

Hi Martina,
There are so many levels on which I'd like to express my appreciation for your work in selling my father's home …
Although a simple 1960's bungalow, 328 Princess Avenue was truly my father's castle. It represented his freedom and success after leaving Europe as a refugee and in his senior years continuing to live there was his greatest expression of independence. He never wanted to leave his home and after the fall in August, all he wanted to do was return.
So with that in mind, along with the responsibility of settling his estate to the satisfaction of his beneficiaries, selling my father's home was a daunting task. I have little experience with real estate transactions and certainly none in regards to the current Toronto market. And to make matters worse, it is in my nature (and training) to prefer being in charge of whatever I'm doing.
Having known you for almost a decade, at some point years ago I tucked away in the back of my mind that I would ask you to take on this job. I knew you were very good at your work but the most important factor was that I knew that I could trust you absolutely to do your best for me and my family.
Martina, you did that … and so much more.
I emailed you last Thursday morning - out of the blue - and by Friday evening you had orchestrated the sale of the house at the new high-mark for a detached single story house in Willowdale.
We met at 1:30pm on Thursday afternoon and you proceeded to show me by 'doing' how to prepare the house for showings.
After a few hours, most of the home was ready.
You returned to the house Thursday evening to clearly and carefully explain the details of our contract and your game plan for this sale.
You did your first showing that evening and still managed to get the listing submitted before the midnight deadline for Friday's reports.
And on Friday, while I 'relaxed' at my home an hour and a half away – without an iota of stress - you handled the bedlam of the Toronto market, 21 showings, multiple offer updates and the final top ten offers well above the listing price.
You shielded me from a few very 'shady' characters.
All this was done with the greatest of integrity and professionalism.
And at 7pm on Friday, after reviewing the offers with me, the best one was accepted.
The buyer is very happy – I am ecstatic – you did a wonderful job in very challenging conditions – and all in next to no time.
My father didn't take kindly to agents that came up to his door asking him if he wanted to sell – or saying they had a buyer for his 'house'. He took their approach as an insult to his ability to be independent and manage his home because he looked old. That said, I know he would have loved you. He would have had the highest admiration for how you handled the sale of his home, achieving such a great outcome for his legacy.
Thank you so much Martina.
Cheers, Don

To prospective sellers who are considering Martina's ser- vices:
After checking out about 10 open houses in my area, she struck me as one I can talk to. She was readying to leave an open house she was presenting & she offered me a bottle of water as I walked in late & waited for me to check out the house. Kind. She later hit the ball out of the ballpark with the sales price of that house.
Impressed, I chose her to present my house. She planned, then with her husband's help, staged, decluttered, & readied my house in a short time. She actually considered my con- cerns & suggestions. She listens. Her experience was invalu- able. At the offer date, all I had to do was keep a poker face, & she handled everything professionally. Experienced, she read multiple offers quickly without wasting time. She worked her mind to maximize the sale price for me.
Thing is, she loves what she does & none more than when she is at the offer table. Bottom line, I got above my asking price. No small potatoes.
Thanks again Martina!. The world now is my oyster.
Hi Martina,
It would be my pleasure to share with others the fantastic ex- perience I had working with you .
Three years ago you helped me in the purchase of a new lux- ury home and also facilitated the sale of my townhouse. I was blown away by the energy and enthusiasm you brought to the tasks at hand and how dedicated you were to us, your clients. I found you to be extremely knowledgeable in the wide range of markets and areas that we were looking at, which was invaluable. As an added bonus, your assistance in the rather difficult purchaser during the negotiations was ex- cellent. Thanks to your patience and personable manner you managed to help us finalize a deal that I was ready to walk away from out of frustration. We fully appreciate your ex- pertise as an agent and could not thank you enough for your above and beyond professional service.
Fondest regards,
Todd

Reference Letter for Martina Brankovsky
We knew Martina had several years of experience & once we contacted her she was very helpful aiding us search for a smaller property. When we finally decided on what we want- ed she calmed our worries about buying before selling our previous residence; that was rapidly prepared & put on the market very professionally. We had a good number of offers which Martina guided us through with aplomb & obtained a deal well above what was asked for in the first place. Martina was really firm in our favour and held out for the best offers available. We would recommend Martina to anyone asking for a really professional real estate agent!
