276 days with another agent, then sold in 8
When we first decided to sell, we listed the property with another agent. Unfortunately, after 276 days on the market, the home still had not sold. That's when we were introduced to Martin Hawley and his team. The difference was immediate. The result? Our home sold in just 8 days, and for the highest price in the neighborhood in the past 15 months. We were honestly blown away.
Under contract in 4 days, $50,000 over appraised value
This home has been part of my family for a long time. My mom purchased the lot and built this home back in 2002. After her passing, making the decision to sell was not easy. From the beginning, they approached everything with a clear strategy. It wasn't just about putting the home on the market, it was about positioning it in a way that would create real demand. The home went under contract in just 4 days, with multiple offers, and ultimately sold for $50,000 over appraised value.
Under contract in 8 days, highest price per square foot in the neighbourhood since November 2024
From the very beginning, Martin brought a clear plan, strong communication, and a level of professionalism that gave us confidence right away. Everything, from pricing to marketing to negotiation, felt intentional and well thought out. Our home went under contract in just 8 days and achieved the highest price per square foot in the neighborhood since November 2024. We were honestly surprised by how strong the outcome was.
32 days against a 52-day neighbourhood average
I wasn't sure what to expect, especially with homes in The Cascades currently averaging around 52 days on the market. That's when I chose to work with Martin and Kim Hawley and their team, and the difference was immediate. My home went under contract in just 32 days, significantly faster than the neighborhood average, and achieved the second-highest price per square foot among all sales in the past six months.
Under contract within 24 hours, after 6 months with another agent
Martin and the team qualified, prepared me and my home, supported, and walked with me every step of the way to get a contract and sell within 24 hours of going on MLS. My home had previously been on the market for 6 months with another realtor. From the time that I first met Martin and the team they always shared and demonstrated an attitude of honesty.
And the rest.
The best and easiest way to describe the Hawley Team is in one word, remarkable. From the first meeting to presenting offers, they are the epitome of professionalism, honesty, character, integrity, and just good people. Martin and Kim allowed us to spread our wings when we wanted, asked opinions rather than directing, and were assertive rather than aggressive.
The Hawley Team surpassed our every expectation for buying our new house in Fort Myers. Kim and Martin are not only professional and experienced realtors, they are also an excellent support system. They helped us obtain the home of our dreams, working hard to make sure things like repairs were fair. We were moving from out of state and really appreciated their deep roots and knowledge of the Fort Myers area.
Martin and Kim are absolutely the best realtors I have ever worked with. From the first meeting we had, my husband and I felt so relieved of our stress, and we felt so confident that everything would be handled correctly.
I particularly needed the Hawley Team when I was living out of town and needing to purchase property in Fort Myers. Martin and Kim are experts. They are efficient and especially caring. I was able to trust them from the beginning. This doesn't happen often with businesses. I scrutinize the people I decide to work with. I didn't have to do much scrutinizing with the Hawleys.
I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to you and all your team. How you sold my property was top of the line. All your interactions with everyone throughout the processing was efficient, courteous, timely, and professional. Everyone involved went above and beyond expectations.
We truly were so lucky to have both of you to guide us through this process. We can't thank you both enough for being so patient and helpful.
