Professionalism, Responsiveness We used Martin Molloy Realty Group to help us with our recent home purchase in Wake Forest. Martin was exceptional! We were looking for a home in Wake Forest but living in NJ. This was not an easy task given the current real estate market and the impact of COVID. Martin was our eyes and ears on the ground. He was knowledgeable, responsive, trustworthy and extremely easy to work with. He went way beyond our expectations. I would not hesitate to use him again our refer him to anyone.

Martin Molloy has been my realtor now for two home sales and purchases. He is extremely professional and experienced. Buying and selling a house can be one of the most stressful things in life but Martin makes it so easy. He walks you through every step of process and is there for you when you need him. He helped sell our house in 4 hrs with proper comp analysis so we had it priced correctly. I highly recommended Martin And Molloy Realty!

Martin helped us to sell our home in Wakefield Plantation. He gave us great advice and because of that, we were able to sell our home within 2 days of being on the market. His attention to detail paired with years of experience in real estate helped to make this experience an easy one. I recommend Molloy Realty Group because of Martin. His friendly personal approach, knowledge of market trends and clear communication make all the difference.

My wife and I worked with Martin personally for our first home purchase. We cannot say enough good things about our experience. Martin was knowledgeable, easy to reach, and advocated on our behalf to get us the best deal possible (he even got the sellers to replace the roof with no cost to us).

 

~ Brad and Natalie Jordan

I had the pleasure of recently working with Martin to purchase our new home. As a first time home buyer we had so many questions and concerns and Martin was always very kind and helpful.

I would definitely recommend Martin to any of my friends and colleagues.

~ Tammy Mruk

When my husband and I decided we wanted to buy our first home, we had NO idea where to begin. We needed to find a good home, within our budget, that was close to both of our jobs - which seemed like an overwhelming task. The best decision we made was to reach out to Martin Molloy. After our initial conversation, we felt he really shared our vision for our future home while also giving us realistic expectations of the home-search process. He helped us feel informed and comfortable with the journey of looking for and ultimately buying our first home. Any question we had was met with a prompt and professional response, which made us feel at ease. We are thrilled with our home purchase! We are definitely customers for life!

 

~ Joe and Gina Iannuzzelli

Martin gave us great advice on how to get our house ready to put on the market. We followed his recommendations and our house sold in about a month!

 

~ Elizabeth Esquerra

Martin helped us sell our home and buy a new one at the beginning of this year. He was a fantastic resource. Martin very patiently listened to our wants, needs and concerns. His advice was on point, and our two transactions went through like a charm. His service is personal. When a conversation needed to be face to face, he took the time to come by and meet with us. I highly recommend him. In our home sales and purchases, this was the very best experience. I can't say enough about Martin. He is knowledgeable, he is personable, he is very thoughtful. If I had to do it again, Martin would be my only choice of realtor.

 

~ Andrea & Elizabeth Esquerra

Martin helped us buy and sell our first home and then buy our new house earlier this year. Each time he was quickly reachable and provided valuable advice. We enjoyed working with Martin and appreciated his services during each transaction.

Excellent agents, have had multiple great experiences with them.

 

~ OMIK Projects

My husband and I had a good experience with Molloy Realty and one of their agents, Brandon. It was so nice of him to take the time to meet with us and show us around a house even though it was recently put under contract. He went out of his way to let us see that house and it really meant a lot to us.

 

~ Sarah Kemp

I have met both Martin and Brandon from this firm and found both to be genuine and committed to their customers. I dealt more closely with Brandon and was really impressed with his drive to help clients find the right home.
