Kerry was amazing to work with! As a first-time home buyer with no idea what I was getting myself into, she was always there making sure we knew what was going on and answering our questions. She also gave us great advice not only for the home buying process, but for just general home care. She really went above and beyond for us and I am so grateful! Because of her we got our first dream home! Thank you Kerry!!

We've had the pleasure of working with Kerry as she successfully negotiated both the sale and purchase of real estate transactions for us. Kerry provided a portfolio of our property and beautifully illustrated advertising. Kerry promptly returns calls, arranges showings, follows up every showing with feedback from other realtors, and goes above and beyond to streamline the sale and purchase processes. You will not be disappointed having Kerry represent you with your real estate transactions.

If you want an agent who cares about your next move, Kerry is the agent for you. Without question the BEST! Not only does Kerry take a personal investment in her clients but she is knowledgeable, professional, and diligent in finding the perfect home/property for you. My family and I recently moved from out of state to the Billings area. Kerry not only helped us find our new home but she made us feel welcome. From the beginning to the signing, Kerry was on top of everything and took excellent care of us. Thank you Kerry, we love our new home!

Working with Kerry Martinson was an absolute pleasure. She made the entire process of buying a home for my family easy. I never felt like she was pushy or trying to sell me on anything. We viewed homes until she figured out what I wanted, where I wanted it and and made the purchasing process smooth. I would highly recommend Kerry to anyone. I would particularly recommend her to anyone moving to Billings as she does a great introduction to town and shows all the areas that you may not have thought of. Kerry was always responsive and great to work with. If I find myself looking for another home in the future, I will definitely work with her again!

My family was relocating and I was already in town while the rest of my family remained back in Washington State. Kerry was incredibly helpful throughout the process of finding the home and helping us determining the best home for our money. She was very flexible in accommodating our needs. This included doing a live video walk through of the home for my wife and kids, opening up the home when family was in town to see and making sure all our banking and closing documents were in order.

Kerry was wonderful. She is very friendly. She really helped us a lot by recommending someone to help us with our loan. She kept us in the loop when we went back to DC to start getting our things moved to MT. When I was unable to get back for the closing, and was stressing out, she came through and helped us close in DC.

Kerry is professional and courteous. As first time home buyers, my wife and I relied heavily on Kerry's expertise and experience. She kept us informed every step of the way and provided sound advice throughout the process. Kerry immediately had an email delivered to us with MLS listings that met our criteria, as well as, email updates. She was prompt to show us the houses with which we had interest and she was available on weekends, working around our schedule. When we were ready to make an offer, we leveraged her experience to draft a fair offer. Our offer was accepted without negotiations or counters. With Kerry's help, we did not experience the stress in home buying that is often stated.

Kerry is a seasoned realtor, who returns every phone call, text and email. She knows the market well and you can trust her judgment. I followed her advice and had an over the asking price offer because the price was set to sell. Kerry is kind, compassionate and has strong negotiating skills and gets the job done in a professional manner! She is the best realtor you can have, in Billings, Montana!

Kerry Martinson was great to work with through the process of finding and purchasing an investment property to rent. You will love working with this dedicated and kind professional! She is very responsive all along the way and shares the information that is necessary to make wise decisions. With a very hot market in Billings, there was no way we would have found a house and gotten it under contract and then closed without a hitch without Kerry!

The best real estate agent we've ever had. She's on time always. Her knowledge is extensive about the local market and real estate in general. If there is a problem or a bump she overcomes it with ease and cheerfulness. She is most highly recommended for any type of real estate transaction. She is knowledgeable about everything.

We would still be living in a camper if it wasn’t for Kerry! We were trying to sell our house in another town and the realtor we were using was horrible. I didn’t feel good about how we were being represented, so I asked Kerry for her opinion. She was able to advise us what to do and how to take control of the transaction. Throughout the whole process I leaned on her to help us navigate every stressful turn. She was an amazing shoulder to lean on and I would not have been able to close without her. Then when it came to purchasing a home in Billings, she showed us how easy and stress free the home buying/selling process really should be. We quickly got into escrow and she advised us on how to negotiate to our advantage. The amount of work she does behind the scenes for her clients is absolutely amazing! She is 100% committed to each and every one of her clients all the way up until the closing table and continues to check up even after the transaction is finished. Kerry is the most caring and gracious person and when you chose her to be your agent, you will not be disappointed. If and when we choose to sell our home, Kerry will be the first phone call we make!

Kerry was invaluable to us in this process. She had to deal with difficult and demanding personalities on both sides, and she did so with incredible grace and patience. Kerry went above and beyond by taking time to answer every question; never rushing or pushing or pressuring us into a decision. We interviewed several local realtors/brokers (all top-tier and highly recommended), but Kerry was the most knowledgeable, helpful, and overall best fit for us. I don’t typically do reviews and recommendations, but in this case, I am proud to say that if you want the best….call Kerry Martinson.

We didn't have a realtor when looking to list our home, but found her sign on a plot of land we were looking at. The knowledge and expertise Kerry presented when we met with her, we knew she was the right one for us to work with for our selling our home and buying land to build. She's gone above and beyond in helping us through both processes. She has great communication and is really helpful when it comes to the ins and outs of building a new home for the first time.

Kerry is an awesome realtor! She’s a fantastic negotiator and a great communicator! Whether you are buying or selling huge or small real estate transactions, she gives each transaction full dedication and attention and goes above and beyond every single time. When we moved out of state, she helped us interview realtors and gave us tips on getting our offer accepted after losing out on many offers in a very tight real estate market. I like to think that our very next offer was accepted because we followed her tips. We cannot thank her enough for handling the sale of our home in Billings while we had already moved out of state. We miss having her as our realtor! 10/10 recommend Kerry Martinson.
