Kathleen Martin
Kathleen (Martin) McMahon has a superpower. No, she can’t fly or be in two places at one time. Her superpower is positivity and it’s become her “north star” at work and at home. When her son was in the NICU she became laser-focused on learning all she could from the nurses so that when he came home, she was ready. Her positive outlook got her through an incredibly stressful time and, she says, ultimately made her a better mom.
And speaking of having a positive outlook, she gives Peggy Lyn lots of credit there. When she was struggling professionally, Peggy Lyn got her into focusing on goals, journaling, and gratitude. At first she thought it sounded crazy but once she gave it a try, it was a game changer and was the fuel that accelerated her business to levels she never dreamed of.

Random round-up: Celebrity crush = Wentworth Miller. Spotify playlist is probably 90s/2000s, Top 10, or country. She met her husband on Tinder, as she says, ’back in the day.’ And she’s a Jersey girl who dreamed of writing for a big time magazine in NYC. She came to Maryland for college (Salisbury University #GoGulls) and it was college classes like sociology, marketing, and gender studies that sparked a lifelong curiosity about people that carries into her work today. She loves being that first friend for her clients and doing all she can to help them feel at home in their new neighborhood. Come to think of it, maybe that’s another superpower.

Awards & Designations
Kathleen was absolutely fabulous to work with! As first-time home buyers, she made the process so easy for us. She was very transparent and responsive throughout the whole process. From the very beginning, she had our best interests in mind. Kathleen asked us a lot of questions upfront to gauge our wants and needs in order to create a thorough list of homes for us to see. She worked around our schedules and was able to meet with us at all different times throughout the week. She was very knowledgeable in assisting with the development of our offer; this, along with Kathleen's positive reputation as an agent, put us at a great advantage in comparison to other buyers who were putting in offers. During the process, she provided us with reputable contacts as needed, all who were equally responsive and helpful (inspection company, mortgage company). Overall, we had an awesome experience working with Kathleen and we would definitely recommend her!
I cannot say enough about Kathleen. She was wonderful and really did everything within her power to make my first time home buying experience easy and pretty much stress-free. She listened to what I wanted and patiently helped me figure out where I wanted to live. When the first sale fell through, she had 3 new listings to me within minutes and scheduled viewings the next day. I even ended up purchasing one of those condos.
Kathleen was awesome! It was my first time buying a home and she was always available to answer questions and set up tours of potential homes. I would not have been able to do it without her. She was extremely knowledgeable about every step of the process and was able to get us set up with great people and ultimately a great home! I couldn t more highly recommend Kathleen as an agent.
I cannot recommend Kathleen enough. In this crazy market, she managed to help my husband and I get our dream home even though we were using VA financing. She is experienced and knowledgable about the home buying process. We were first-time home buyers, and Kathleen was extremely patient with all our questions. Her responsiveness is excellent. You will be in great hands with her!
Kathleen represented me and my husband as first time buyers. In this very competitive and unpredictable market, Kathleen expertly guided us in our purchase of a beautiful home. Kathleen is honest, savvy, experienced and diplomatic. She quickly understood what our needs and wants were, and found properties that were right up our alley. She knew what to look for in a house to assess its condition and livability, and pointed out things that most buyers wouldn't think to look at. She helped us craft competitive offers, all while preserving our financial interests and the integrity of the process. She gave us sound advice, even if it meant that a sale would not happen (and she wouldn't get paid). Ultimately, she cares more about her client and the relationship than she does about her commission, and it really shows. Kathleen was diligent, responsive, and super flexible. She wrote up offers quickly and with great attention to detail. She is also just a joy to be around and has a wonderful personality. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing Realtor! Thanks Kathleen!
OMG I'm not sure I have enough space to say how very helpful and professional Kathleen was in this extremely stressful process. We had a clock to find a place and in 5 days we found one after trying 4 times with a previous agent. I was so stressed and my first conversation with her lifted it all from my shoulders. The whole process went quite smoothly and was easier than I expected. To top it all she's pregnant and that did not stop her from working with us and driving all over to find what we needed. She's more than just a real estate agent, she understands and listens to what you need. Thanks Kathleen, we are so happy we had you in our corner.
