ANTONIO RAMIREZ IBARRA & JANET PONCE

We first met Leanna in her #carve2021 online pumpkin carving contest. We entered our son, and he won 3rd place. She came to our home and in full consume as maleficent and awarded him a Dog man book! I continued to follow Leanna on social media and knew when it was time to purchase our Edmonton home she was the one to call. We wanted someone who knew the local area’s we wanted to be in.

For us the location was the absolute most important thing and Leanna was great to support our understanding of values, style of home and neighbourhoods. Buying during the increase in interest rates and inflation was a concern, as well as finding a solid home we trusted the construction in. Leanna and her real estate team helped us buy our new Edmonton home with step by step support, guidance and great resources.

Leanna is a best Edmonton realtor and we are so happy we found her. We very much appreciate details and Leanna and her team supported us throughout with video instruction, calls and guidance to make each step as smooth as possible.

We recommend Leanna as a Best Edmonton Realtor with confidence. Call her now, they are great. " from Antonio, Janet & Dodor

CARLY & BRYAN NICKEL

Leanna provided a thorough comparable analysis when we were listing our house for sale. She explained the different listing price points and what the benefits of all of them were.

The weekend of our listing, we had over 10 showings. With all the feedback we got from potential buyers, Leanna took the initiative to do the small things around the house herself (things like replacing electrical outlet plates, dryer vent, and replacing door handles). She also gave excellent referrals to a property manager who helped us with our previous tenant and a maintenance person who came in to fix a few things around the house.

Thank you for all the time you and your team took with this house. We appreciate it so much!

ROLA HALABI-DAY & JASON DAY

We were referred to Leanna from my boss who is a financial planner, so we thought she would be good. My husband had a definite idea about location and type of home, I was little more flexible. Leanna met us with all of of education and a step by step process.

She encouraged us to look outside of what we thought we wanted and as a result we actually discovered what we loved in a very busy market it was easy to get discouraged in. So happy we trusted her experience through all the ups and downs. Things like homes that showed way worse than the photo’s online. We lost in a competing offer for a home I fell in LOVE with but in the end it wasn’t meant to be because we found OUR home in a neighbourhood we never thought of living in all because of Leanna.

There's so much more a good realtor does than just help you find a home. We are so happy with our experience and we would recommend Leanna and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

JENNIFER LEER

I was referred to Leanna directly from my mortgage broker. I had already been in contact with another agent who did not respond to me so Leanna was a refreshing change.

She was very responsive, and set up a buyers education session for me. I had a good feeling from the start, she was very educational and I felt like she understood what I wanted, why it was important and would guide me along those lines.

I am very committed to living within my means and budget and Leanna always gave me the pros and cons of each available choice and opened my eyes to all my options and I ended up with a far better home that I had envisioned I could afford in the end with way stronger resale.

Leanna was honest, she advocated for me in negotiations, getting repairs completed and was there through the to the end with moving in.

I feel like Leanna really got me, got why this purchase was such a big deal and knew what I needed.

I’d recommend Leanna to anyone else looking to buy or sell!

KRISTINE MANHERZ & JAMES BRADLEY

My cousin referred me to Leanna & her team. When we were looking the market was absolutely crazy busy. It was a stressful time to buy because of the amount of competition and it was our first time buying as well. Leanna prepped us for the market we were entering, took the time to educate us step by step of the process so we felt ready when the time came. She coached us n competing offer scenario’s and had the tools ready to compete to win if and when needed.

​

There was 1 home we offered on and then decided to walk away from as it just wasn’t right. Then when we found our current home, we knew it was it. Leanna was able to negotiate completion of a roof, and other minor repairs throughout the home in the hot market. She was reliable and trust worthy, we always felt she had our best interest in mind. We would recommend her to anyone to buy or sell

LUCAS ZSOMBOR & SABRINA HOULE

We were referred Leanna and her team by our friend who was working with her at the time. She took the time to prepare us for the market we were walking into and all the details of the buying process. We looked at many different style of what there was available in our price point coached by Leanna to understand what we can get so we can make an informed decision. Then we ended up finding much more that we expected and once we went in we knew this was the one. We went in thinking it might be short term and we might just move in 5 years, but the home Leanna helped us find can totally be our forever home and i can see us growing into it with ease.

Leanna also negotiated money for roof repair and mud jacking and, as a young couple just married, every penny counts starting off. As first time home buyers it can be tough to know what we can negotiate, so it was extremely helpful having someone experienced to guide us.

We love our home and are thrilled with the experience provided by Leanna and her team. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy/sell.

ALLAN CZABAN

Leanna and her team went above and beyond my expectations with the sale of my condo and purchase of my house. She took the time to explain the market and the difficulties of selling one property and buying another at the same time. Leanna was able to find me a house with a massive 26 x 30 garage which is unheard of in the city.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy and/or sell a property.

MYLES MCNALLY AND KAILAN PAUL

We fell in love with our forever home, but securing it came with a few hurdles. 1 - we had to sell our home first, 2 - it was winter time, 3 - some challenges within the negotiations and offer. Leanna and her team supported us to make sure all information was provided to ensure we felt comfortable moving forward with this large purchase.

There were post inspection remediations that needed attention. Leanna facilitated arranging access for trades, proof of completion, and more with the purchase of our new home. At the challenging times, Leanna and her team were there. Once we took possession and all work has been completed, we were able to make this our new forever home.

We would both highly recommend Leanna and her team for anyone looking to find a great Realtor they can trust and count on.

ALYSSA KIM AND FRANCOIS LACROIX-LEUNG

We could not be happier with Leanna and her teams service. First off, we found what we thought was a huge opportunity while she and her family were away on vacation. We were amazed at the attention we received in such a competitive market while she was away in Mexico. We submitted competing offers, took Leanna’s guidance and won!
We learned that a realtors reputation matters in a competitive market and that, along with her coaching put us ahead to win.

We always felt Leanna and her team were on top of all aspects of our purchase whether she was here or not, and we ended up finding another home that was better suited to our needs. We also discovered in the process what was deeply important to us that we did not know until the moment was real.

Leanna completely supported us throughout and helped guide us to confidence and clarity. We both feel so good about the decision we made and Leanna’s attention to detail, professionalism, knowledge and local community familiarity made this purchase feel frictionless. We LOVE LOVE LOVE our new home in Laurier and fell very confident with Leanna being the GO TO community Realtor.

Leanna goes above and beyond and we could not be happier and will use her for life. We highly recommend Leanna to anyone needing to buy or sell!"

KELLY MCRAE

We were out of town property owners living in Vancouver. Being in Vancouver, we needed as much support as possible. Leanna supported from the beginning right up until closing day. She connected us with her network to get our unit set up for the market including a photographer, painter, cleaner, and lawyer. Leanna also followed up at a second’s notice when we were not available to answer questions. You never want to miss a call when trying to sell property, so we were really grateful to have Leanna be our liaison. Her network was reliable and professional; every person we encountered were friendly and timely. Everyone kept us up to date on their progress which was extremely helpful in planning the next steps from afar.

Leanna always kept us updated when the condo market turned through the summer and Fall. She successfully negotiated 1 offer with a back up to secure our sale, and gave us all the information to make decisions in our best interest. At one point we faced the chance of losing the deal due to the buyer not getting financing approved before condition removal. Leanna got counsel from our lawyer after hours and was in touch with us to make sure we were able to secure the deal in a very sluggish condo market.

Leanna and her team were fantastic to work with, and we would be happy to recommend her to any of our friends and family anytime.

FARHIYA AND YUSUF MOALLIN

Leanna was an excellent agent to work with! She was very professional and experienced. As first time home buyers, we were unfamiliar with the home buying process and Leanna was always there to answer any of our questions and ensure that we were comfortable. She was friendly, patient, and SUPER responsive! She helped us navigate a very challenging market and got us our home! We won in competing offers as we took Leanna’s advice on how to structure the offer to win a very hot home. We could not be happier as we found a great home to accommodate our family’s needs in the perfect neighbourhood for us. We thank you and your team for the time, dedication and support! You have our highest recommendation! :)

TENWAY CEPHAS

We were referred to Leanna last from our mortgage broker.  She came over, took us through a buyers presentation and got us ready to shop.  After weeks of looking we determined we wanted more than our budget would allow and we decided to wait and save more money.

Sidenote, one evening she drove with her kids direct from hockey practice to get us into a house.  My moms tires got stuck in the snow, and Leanna dug us out on her knees, and helped push our car free.

From that time Leanna kept us updated on the changing new builder market for a year through all the increases in lumbar and materials costs as she continued to shop the market with other clients.

We got our pre approval in October and were excited to get out and start looking again.  Leanna sent us all the options in our price range and suggested we look at resale too with the increases in new build construction costs.  BUT at the end of the day we found our best home with a Builder, got a great deal on the basement completion so my husband can be happy and I can be happy to.

Leanna had awesome communication throughout, was prompt, reliable, and stayed onto of all the aspects of our transaction when others did not.  We are so grateful we had Leanna in our corner, she provided so much peace of mind throughout the process.  We would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a new home. "When I was scared, worried and not sure if we were going to get the house she was there and kept the faith and hope alive telling us everything was going to be okay. She explained the mortgage process and the things we did not understand. She was very patient with us through the entire process. Words are not enough to express my appreciation for all She did for us . Chris and I are very excited about our new home.

SIBONA MAYO

I met Leanna by referral and I am so happy I did. She was patient and took a lot of time educating me. I don’t drive as well and she always dropped me off and picked me up. As a first time home buyer and a thorough type of person it took a minute to find the right place for me. But when I walked in I just knew, this is home.

I really felt like Leanna looked out for my best interests at all times and was a real advocate for me. She understood my financial goals as a student and the lifestyle I lead. I’ve been in my place for years now and Leanna stays in touch all the time. Lunch, possession photo’s and birthday cookies.

Its been a great experience working with her and when I am ready to sell and buy again she will be the first person I call. I would refer her to anyone who wants a competent reliable and great realtor to work with.

BRUNO & KARINA

You don’t realize how difficult it is as a new home buyer with all the paperwork and processes.
Leanna was great, she came to us as a referral from a trusted friend and she didn’t disappoint, she took great care of us. We interviewed more than 1 realtor, but chose Leanna because she educated and informed us from the beginning which made us feel we could trust her. Leanna has a great team, from the home inspector, to the lawyer, all very easy to work with, friendly, educated, informative and impressively professional.
Any complications were handled with the professionals, there was excellent communication and the entire team took very good care of our interests.
She even took care of issues on the way that were not her responsibility, but she ended handling them for us.
I would 100% refer Leanna to friends and family. It was a great experience.

CARSON ELLIOTT & JENNIFER BRODEUR

Leanna worked with us in both selling our condo and buying our home. She was great in supporting us to list our condo and continued to be thorough with staging, professional photo’s and keeping us informed of how our listing was doing. We were thrilled when our unit sold in a tough condo market with multiple units listed. Leanna was great in helping us smoothly navigate the selling process and came out as happy sellers of a sold condo. Then we went to work to find our first home. Leanna took the time to understand what we wanted as a couple and also as individuals, then constructed our top 5 must haves which helped us narrow the focus in a very busy sellers market. In addition she thoroughly went through our budget and all expenses to ensure we were buying within our means.

Leanna always kept our best interest in mind at all times and her professionalism and experience provided a smooth and exciting buying experience. She has a wealth of knowledge and was on top of communication to always keep us informed. She also connected us to her referral network and received exceptional service from her mortgage broker and lawyer.

MANDY & DOUG JOHNSTON

My good friend Rose referred Leanna and her team to me when we were finally ready to sell our family home. "Leanna and her team are amazing!

They hustle and are always working FOR you and WITH you." Let me tell you, they did not disappoint. I found Leanna's communication direct and clear, her service above and beyond her “job”, and her proactive nature kept us prepared for and unafraid of the next step. She was very strategic with pricing, preparation, and especially soliciting the highest offer for us in our negotiations.

Communication took a ton of extra effort in our case, as I am in the United States and my husband is in Sherwood Park. Leanna's team and referral network operate at a high level with urgency and professionalism. All of this came together to successfully sell our home at a premium price and way quicker than we could have imagined! Our situation happened to also be high stress, and Leanna's empathy, understanding and constant connection provided me with peace of mind and assurance that we were in perfect hands.

This team is amazing! I highly, highly recommend you give Martens Group Real Estate a call; you WON’T be disappointed!

STACEY & CURTIS GORDON

Leanna gave us the best service we have received from any realtor we have worked with. We were so impressed with the process and tools she brought forward in getting our home sold, something we had not experienced before. Leanna asked great questions, gave great advice and we continue to get compliments from friends and family on how well our house was presented to the market through Leanna and her team.

GARRY WANCHUK

I know allot of Realtors and have never had an experience like the one I’ve had with Leanna and her team.

I decided to sell and wanted to find the best person I could trust to do the job.  I chose Leanna because of her presence and consistency on Facebook, I know social media is the way to go.  After our initial meeting and her showing her innovative marketing campaign combing new with old strategies, I was sure she was the right one for the job.  I found Leanna honest, direct, kind, hard working and reliable.  Leanna went above and beyond any Realtor experience I have ever had.  Leanna was scheduled to open the door for the photo’s and the house was not ready.  She cleaned it for 2-hours to make sure my photo’s turned out well all the while wheezing because she is allergic to my 2 cats.

Tragedy struck just days after as my aorta ruptured and I ended up in emergency surgery the night before I was supposed to take my listing live.  Leanna only cared about my health and only when I told her to, she put the home on the market.  From negotiations while I was in Cuba while she took care of my home here, to taking several trips to meet my family to obtain keys and support with closing.  I have never had an experience like I’ve had through the sale of this home with Leanna and her Team.  If you are looking for someone you can trust that will earn their paycheck, I’d highly recommend Leanna Martens.

ROSE PHILLIP & FAMILY

Leanna and her team are simply amazing. She helped us buy a home virtually, instilling trust and confidence every step of the way. Despite buying a home from across the country, there were no surprises. Her attention to detail and communication is absolutely superb. After the sale, she continued to ensure we were well informed. She and her team coordinated the paperwork with everyone -- from pending through closing. Even after we got the keys she continues to ensure our move is as sinple as possible. She personally looked after a number of details going gnificantly above and beyond anything we expected. Highly reccomend!

JACKSON, CORAZON & FAMILY

We are expecting another baby and our home was just to small for us.   We had a very tight turn around time and knew that to sell AND buy in 6-weeks before baby 4 came was going to be very challenging. 

We decided to sell and wanted to find the best person we could trust.  Leanna was referred direct to us from CIBC and we felt confident with such a large institution recommending her.  After our initial meeting and her showing her marketing campaign we were sure she was the right one for the job.  We found Leanna honest, direct, kind, hard working and reliable.  Leanna supported us with staging, paint and maintenance fixes, Real Property Report requirements, permits, photo’s and pricing.  We got an offer within 24 hrs of listing at 99% of list price!

She’s got an excellent team of professionals that help you every step of the way, a lawyer that met after hours for us and answered our questions “before” we were cleints, an inspector that walked us through all details and offered a warranty and lenders that all communicated together smoothly to get the job done.  There was allot of pressure to sell AND Buy before our little girl came and we could not be happier. 

If you are ever thinking about Selling your home,  your should give Leanna and her team a call. 

PAULINE & DOUG SMITHEMEN

We felt we could trust Leanna with our listing as she is very approachable and passionate about what she does. She demonstrated a dedicated work ethic and was motivated to help her clients achieve their goals, which was what earned out trust.

​

4 days, 3 offers, 99% list price, we could not be happier . Leanna's progressive

use of social platforms, staging and high-quality photography was refreshing and welcome.

The consummate professional, we would highly recommend Leanna's services to our friends and family.

ADAM SPIES & CORY SCOTT

The one thing that stood out with working wit h Leanna was we always knew she had our best interest at heart. She always displayed that our needs and goals always we re top of mind and we never questioned her 

sincerity and honesty. We knew we could trust her guidance and recommendations from pricing all the way through to negotiations .

In addition she paid for staging, and really understood the buyers market

and what they were looking for and prepared our home accordingly . She took the t me to talk to us about our expectations and goals for the sale and what was most important to our family.

We would recommend Leanna to our friends and family happily .

BELINDA & MIKE DALEY

I trusted Leanna because she was the on ly realtor to send me a video introducing herself as a prompt , efficient helpful realtor .

​

First impressions make a huge difference to us and I admired Leanna for that excellent video. That's why I choose her as my realtor.

​

I found her different from other realtors and admired Leanna's everyday business practices. She is excellent returning calls/ messages in a prompt manner. Leanna always adjusted she schedule to meet our needs. We live in Ft.McMurray and as I requested to view homes, she did al l she could to schedule the viewings on the dates requested . What I loved most about Leanna is she is an honest realtor and she put our interests first .

​

When i wasn't satisfied with the move in cleaning, Leanna was the first one to offer to find a cleaning company to come in and clean to my satisfaction and she even offered to pay the bill.  

I would definitely refer her to my family and friends as I have t rust in her and she is very professional realtor.

Lean na thank you for being there for us all the way. Your truly the best!!!

IGOR & ANDREA ALEKSIC

Leanna and her professional team exceeded our experience and got the job done fast!

We recommend her to anyone who wants someone trustworthy, professional and hard working with a unique and highly effective approach to selling real estate.

We loved working with her and her team , it was amazing to have not just her, but also a stage/designer, and photographer to sell for top dollar and so fast!

​

We highly recommend her and her team!

NICOLE SEHN

On our initial meet ing, I could tell she was hungry to do a good job, and felt she was motivated to show me she would follow through on her commitments. I felt she was going to be dedicated to us and our goals along the way.

Leanna did what she said she would, and therefore earned my trust . I never felt she took the easy road and was willing to address the hard questions and challenges that I put forward as a demanding client. I expected a lot

and felt we got to the end goal of selling a property in a not so great market. Her commitment level and follow through of what she promised at the beginning. I have had lots of experience with realtors and felt she was

will ing to do whatever it took to help along the process.

ANDREA JONES

I got a strong sense of Leanna's commitment to my goals and drive for excellence right away. She actively and attentively listened to my goals and priorities to ensure the properties she found were a good match for me. Based on that I felt she really understood what I wanted. I felt she genuinely cared for me as a person, my success and this important decision in my life. I found Leanna to be easy, open and honest which gave me a song

sense of trust with her.

​

If you are looking for someone who will advocate for your best interest always, tell you the whole truth and support your goals of buy ing or selling I would recommend Leanna.

JOHN & JESSICA DOMET

We both felt like Leanna really listened to our needs and wants for our new family , and she was in constant contact providing options within our price range and goals. It was really cool to see all the different options with in our price range and so exciting to find the house we loved. Leanna found a great location, green space, and fully renovated home that fit our budget!

We trusted Lean na and felt like Leanna always advocated for our best interest and was always on our side from pricing, research, risks with homes all t he way through to negotiations. We would happily recommend her to our friends and family.

DARLENE & BOB COLLINGTON

Leanna took us to the places we wanted to look at. She was very patient with us until we understood what she was saying to us. She found us our beautiful home in one try. She understood what we were looking for, she entertained us by taking us to other places but we found the one and it was perfect.

​

Leanna came to our house to let us know what she was going to do for us. She was very personable; we totally enjoyed our meeting and connected immediately. She was fabulous.

​

We would recommend Leanna to anyone.

EDWARD & THERESA ODUWOLE

Leanna took us around and showed us many houses to see many options. She was patient with us until we found what we were looking for. At the end of the day, we were both happy.

​

She kept assuring us that we would find what we wanted.

​

We would recommend Leanna to our family and friends.

RYAN & SHAWN

Leanna has super high energy. She takes the extra time to figure out what people need and is willing to take the extra steps to ensure we got exactly what we wanted.

​

My father recommended Leanna and that enabled us to trust her instantly.

​

When we looked at houses she pointed out things we may not like and said maybe this is not the right house for you. She was willing to take the time and extra mile to find us what we wanted.

MICHELLE & MARK MADDEN

Leanna has a bubbly warm personality that seems to be infectious. This also comes across to us as someone who is genuine and authentic and that really she loves what she is doing.

Leanna made us feel at ease by doing the leg work for us we were able to focus on other things. She was willing to go above and beyond to maintain that level of communication between us and the builder.

​

We would recommend Leanna to family and friends simple because we want them to have the assurance that we did and also experience the level of professionalism that Leanna exuberates.

DAWN WALTERS

When I first met Leanna, I told her about my situation and what I could afford.  At that time, I did not know what I wanted.  After our first meeting I felt like Leanna was a little sister and I could talk to her about anything and I was in good hands.  It was easy to trust Leanna, she was respectful of my situation and helped me find what I was looking for.

Leanna went above and beyond my expectation.  She was patient with me since I was a little picky and made sure I found what I was looking for.  Once I did find my dream house, Leanna pointed out some issues with the foundation and investigated the issue to ensure it would not cost me big in the future.  Since I wanted my family to view the house before I made an offer, Leanna showed me the house on 5 different occasions with my family members.  She never complained and always had a smile on her face.  I never felt pressured to put in an offer or take something I did not like.

I would highly recommend Leanna to my family and friends and have been doing so already.  She was great to work with.

RODNEY BRIERE

I have known Leanna for years and have developed a trusting relationship with her over that time. Leanna was on top of communication and kept me moving forward during a difficult time obtaining financing. I would recommend Leanna due to our long-term business relationship and trust that has built.

SUZANNE & GARTH DOUGLAS

Working with Leanna was the best experience we’ve ever had with a realtor. We never doubted from the very first conversation that she wanted to make sure we got the best value for the house we sold AND the house we bought.

I would recommend Leanna time and time again. She worked hard for us, she fought for us, and I have no doubt she would do the same for others. In the middle of a pandemic to boot!!!

Plus...she’s a pretty great human...optimistic, kind, loyal. Not your typical realtor.

ANDREW MORREN

Leanna and team made my first buy easy. We felt like we were with a friend throughout the entire process, not a stranger. A very kind and trustworthy realtor in YEG!

CHELSEY & CRAIG BORYS

Leanna was a rock star from the beginning! She went above and beyond during the home staging process (by hiring a professional stager) and was always accessible for my many questions. Her social media strategies drove traffic to our door and when it came time for negotiations, she had our backs and got us a great price. She was attentive, responsive, and honest the whole way through.

Once our house sold, we knew finding a new home in this housing market was going to be challenging. Leanna kept us calm and focused, helping us narrow down our must-haves. And when it came time for negotiations, she was incredible. We are so happy in our new home and all of the support and advocating she did for us!

She also went above and beyond on possession day! I won't say too much, though, so you can experience it yourself one day.

If you are looking for an honest, hard-working realtor who will advocate for your best interests, Leanna is your gal!

JESSIE & AARON

We were nervous new home buyers our biggest concern, the whole buying process.  We attend a Zoom meeting with Leanna which was a great help to prepare us for the buying process.  We learnt about inspections, conditions, and how the process works.  We were not just going to give someone money and not know where it went. You get protection with working with a realtor.

Leanna gave us piece of mind on what our outs were, how to withdraw an offer, the condition removal process and this helped us decide on when to make an offer.  Without Leanna’s knowledge we would not have been comfortable in making an offer after the first house we saw which met all our needs.  We recommend all new home buyers take the Zoom session, make a list and ask questions to your realtor.  Leanna was amazing in answering all our questions and helping us through the buying process.
