Why Choose Richard Martin?
Designations and
Affiliations:
- Accredited Buyer's
Representative-Awarded to Realtors who meet specific educational and practical
experience criteria. I represent Buyers exclusively and negotiate in their
behalf tenaciously to obtain the best property, price, and terms. Buyers become
"Clients" and not merely customers.
- Certified Residential Specialist--Just
5% of all REALTORS can call themselves Certified Residential Specialists. That
is because only 1 in 20 has the extensive experience, the unique commitment,
and the hours of advanced training necessary to call herself or himself a
Certified Residential Specialist.
- Graduate of the Realtors Institute-
Rigorous training detailing negotiating skills, contracts, laws, marketing, and
client satisfaction.
- California Real Estate Broker--Not all
salespersons are Brokers. Salespersons by law have to work for a Broker. To
obtain a Broker's license requires more education, experience, and passing a
detailed State Exam.
- Member of National Association of
REALTORS. REALTORS must agree in writing to adhere to a strict code of ethics.
Not all agents are REALTORS. If you meet a salesperson that is not a REALTOR,
ask them why!
- California Association of REALTORS
- HUD approved Real Estate Broker
- Director for Palm Springs Regional
Association of REALTORS
- Member of Palm Springs Chamber of
Commerce
- Notary Public-I often help Clients sign
Loan Documents after hours when they can't make it to the Escrow Office during
regular business times.
- Bachelor of the Arts, Northern Arizona
University, Hotel Motel and Food Service Administration

Buying Land and New Construction >Building Considerations
Are you planning to build your dream home? Once you are pre-approved for a loan and have found a professional real estate agent you trust, you are ready to start looking for the perfect lot.
Compare the qualities of several target neighborhoods by looking at schools, shopping, recreation and zoning. Make sure that the zoning regulations allow you to build the size and height of the home you want. Find out if there are use restrictions that would prevent you from developing your property as you intend. A visit to the local planning department will clarify your options for building.
Consider what type of home would best suit your lifestyle. Create a checklist to itemize the "must-have" interior and exterior features of a house that you feel are absolute requirements. Make notations about yard size, paint, roof and window conditions for the exterior, and floor plan, room quality and condition of the appliances for the interior. Bring your lists to your real estate agent. Together you can look over the currently available properties that correspond to your needs.
