Real estate is not just a business for me—it’s a passion, and I bring that energy into my work by helping clients see the full potential of a space. Whether prepping a home to sell or helping a client envision their next chapter, I strive to make the process both harmonious and strategic.
After two decades as an award-winning mortgage lender for a local bank, I’ve developed a deep and specialized understanding of both the financial and emotional aspects of real estate. As a real estate broker, I bring that experience into every transaction — treating it not just as a deal, but as a partnership. I truly listen to my clients, prioritize their goals, and work with them every step of the way with honesty, patience, and a steady hand.
My experience and perspectives are augmented by my husband's broad experience over four decades as a custom home designer, builder, development consultant and former legal professional specializing in real estate matters. My clients get the benefit of his valuable insights and creative thinking grounded in real-world hands-on experience.
Whether you’re buying your first home, moving up, downsizing, or investing, we're here to make the process as smooth and rewarding as possible for you. My goal is simple: to pursue your real estate interests with utmost loyalty and care, help you feel confident every step of the way, and earn your trust and referrals to friends and family.
"Catherine Martyn was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our home buying process. Her deep knowledge of the Whidbey Island market and the lending process was invaluable, and she always kept us informed and updated on every step, making sure we understood the complexities of the transaction. We’re military family moving back to the area, but was purchasing while out of the area. Her dedication to finding the perfect home for us, combined with excellent communication skills and a genuine willingness to go the extra mile, made our experience seamless and stress-free.
We highly recommend Catherine Martyn to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable real estate agent."-Taisha M.
"Catherine was instrumental in selling our waterfront vacant land for top dollar. Many brokers cast doubt that the property was buildable since it came with complex permitting challenges. Her expertise, determination, and clear communication made a difficult process manageable. We’re grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her."
