Martin Sears
REALTOR

"I am a tenacious, results-oriented Realtor with over 20 years of experience. I began my real estate career in my home state of Ohio and decided to relocate to Arizona in 2005. What sets me apart from others is the variety of accolades I’ve received over the years. I have sold over $100 million of inventory since 2015, consistently ranked in the Top 1% of Maricopa County Realtors, and sold over 2,000 homes in my neighborhood in Estrella Mountain Ranch in Goodyear. I am also proud to showcase my Zillow 5 Star Premier Agent designation. My negotiation skills and knowledge of the current market are unparalleled. I am proud to say the majority of the homes I put on the market sell within 1% of LISTING PRICE! When I’m not working, I enjoy spending quality time with my wife and two sons and volunteering in my community. If you find yourself in Estrella, please visit me at West USA Realty located in the Elliot Market."

REALTOR

" I am a skilled and determined Realtor with 20 years of experience with Buyers and Sellers. As a proficient Buyer’s Agent, I know how important staying on budget is. While working with Sellers, I will help prepare the home for professional pictures and showings along with implementing my tried and true marketing strategy. I love helping others achieve their real estate goals while saving them money but being a Realtor is only one part of who I am. My husband Chris and I love spending all our free time with our family. I’m a huge sports fan and can get pretty rowdy when my favorite teams are playing. I’m also a dedicated health and fitness nut and have participated in competitive bodybuilding, extreme obstacle course races and distance running. I’d love the opportunity to represent you in your next sale/purchase. Just sit back and relax. I’ve got this! "

Shannon Thomson
REALTOR

Your home is one of the most important investments you will make. It is your sanctuary and buying and selling a home is a big decision. Whether you’re are buying your dream retirement residence or buying your first home each, transaction is just as important. Homeownership is a chance to build wealth and establish your roots. I’m no stranger to moving and can really empathize with my clients. I love welcoming both AZ natives as well as state newcomers and have worked with clients to buy and sell and rent, that are literally from all over the world including Germany, Taiwan and Canada to name a few. I have 5 plus years of experience in Real Estate sales consulting, and property management. I love to help my clients navigate the ins and outs of the often-challenging market. Working with the Sears Group enables me and my teammates to offer more than 20 years of combined experience. When I’m not busy helping my clients, I enjoy riding horses, volunteering at a riding therapy facility, hiking, and spending time with Family and Friends. I am grateful to be here in Arizona!

"I pride myself on giving outstanding customer service and strive to meet my clients every need. You can count on me to always work with your interests in mind, and to represent you and your wishes to the best of my ability. I want you to be 100% satisfied both with my service and with your new property."

Pam Nelson
REALTOR

"To sum it up: I am a mid-western girl in an Arizona world. Before real estate, I worked in the automotive/delivery industry where I honed my customer service and negotiation skills - which I’m excited to use on your behalf. My background, combined with my love for “all things real estate”, has made me a natural fit for this business. I pride myself on being available to my clients and being a valuable resource. I especially like working with people who are relocating to Arizona from another state. I know from experience how exciting yet how stressful moving across country can be. I love Arizona and truly enjoy “showing off” the West Valley to all who visit. In my spare time, I enjoy serving in my local American Legion Auxiliary where I take pride in serving America’s military members - past and present. My daughter and I have been members for several years and I like to think it had a great influence on her as she is currently serving in the U.S. Army."

Kathleen Sena
REALTOR

Kathleen has an unparalleled love for the State of Arizona. In addition to being a native of the West Valley, she is also an Arizona State University alumni. Her hobby growing up was previewing model homes and open houses with her mother, which has given her in-depth knowledge of the West Valley and fueled her passion for residential real estate. With fifteen years of customer service experience, she can intuitively anticipate clients’ wants and needs. In addition, Kathleen has eleven years of sales experience, allowing her to perfect her negotiating skills which she intends to use on YOUR behalf. Coming from a family of educators, she understands the importance of making well-informed decisions. She can lessen the anxieties about the home buying/selling process through her counsel. Kathleen genuinely wants to help make your real estate experience in the Valley a great one.

Kellie Balluzzo
REALTOR

Hi my name is Kellie Balluzzo and I moved from MI to AZ as a young child and watched my parents build a successful business. They also instilled that work ethic in me. I applied that same tenacity and hard work to everything I did. I set off to find my own success in a combined experience of property management, new homes and residential real estate. I have been a realtor for over 32 years. I have made a career doing what I love, helping people to make their dreams come true. I will help simplify the maze of buying or selling a home with my experience and learned wisdom. I surround myself with other expert professionals in the areas that complement the home buying process for you. My dedication and service to you will be next to none, no one will work harder for you or strive for excellence like I do. I also joined West USA Realty, the #1 brokerage in AZ for volume and #39 in the nation and, recently, the Sears Group who is listed among the Top 1% teams in AZ. Together we will help you accomplish your goals. Finally, a little about me personally… I live with my husband, Greg, of 21 years in Corte Bella in Sun City West with our dog, Jasmine. I love to RV and camp, walk, hike, read and spend time with my family.

Agent Reviews

These guys are great! They go above and beyond to help you with your needs. If I could give Martin. and his team 10 stars, you better believe I would!

Any low review on this format must be a scam! I have never met a more honest or caring realtor. He goes above and beyond what any realtor is expected to do. I have never had a problem getting in touch with him and he is very knowledgeable in all of the tools of his trade (including email, voicemail, opening attachments, putting together offers, etc.). There is no other choice for an AZ realtor.

Martin was great to work with. He was flexible and understood exactly what we were looking for. He was patient and helped us through the entire process start to finish! We’re very happy with our new home! Thanks

I am very happy with Martin's service. He has been responsible, honest and patient.He can guide you to the right direction.

Martin is the man!! Awesome to work with and knows his stuff!! Very attentive and helpful with every part of the process!! He took us to many different listings until we found the one we loved.
