About Marty Hackworth:
My goal is to provide my clients with the knowledge needed to be successful in their real estate transactions.
Before becoming a realtor I enjoyed success buying and selling real estate through an agent. Although I enjoyed the results when the transactions closed, I did not enjoy the process of buying and selling. I was always confused about the process and the "terms" agents assumed I understood. Tired of being confused, I educated myself and set out to educate others in my same position.
I still buy and sell real estate today; after all, it's what got me into this business in the first place. The difference is, now I understand the "in and outs" and the process behind buying and selling. Knowing these components and educating yourself on the market you interested in can provide better results as well as less stressful transactions.
It's my goal to help you understand the process as well as the market so you to can enjoy your success in real estate.
