As a Realtor, Martha’s professional expertise and fluent Spanish are invaluable when communicating with her wide-range of clients, identifying their needs, and resolving issues that crop up in the course of their transactions. “I love the challenge of helping people realize the American dream – home ownership. Establishing and maintaining strong relationships with past and present clients is my ultimate goal,” says Martha. “I want my clients to remember their real estate experience in a positive light.”

Martha has a knack for “getting people talking,” and is an excellent listener. She delights in engaging clients in “down to earth” conversations that are long-lasting and meaningful.

My name is Michael Bedner and I would like to tell you a little about myself. I graduated from Rowan University in 1982, then began my Real Estate career in 1984 by purchasing a single-family home and then selling it for a profit. I then joined a large Real Estate Company but quickly obtained my brokerages license and started Michael Bedner Realty LLC.

I believe in the importance of education and attend a wide variety of courses, lectures, and workshops to help me continue to expand my overall knowledge for my clients' benefit. I feel it is important to share my knowledge and experience by creating and teaching two classes: "Wealth Building Through Investment Properties" and "Organize Your Way to Success".

SELLERS - My goals in working with sellers are to get the highest possible price for their property, to sell the property as quickly as possible, and finally, to make the closing occur as smoothly as possible.

BUYERS - My objective in working with buyers is to determine their wants and needs through open discussion where I listen carefully to what is important to you. Once I evaluate this information, I conduct research through the multiple listing service, MLS, to find properties that may achieve your goals. I want you to get as much for your money as possible, and I will work hard to get this done. I will also keep you informed during your homebuying experience so there are no surprises. Buying a home is sometimes a very long process, but remember, "I am working for You!" and will put in the time and energy.

My philosophy in real estate, as in life, is to treat my clients the way I would like to be treated: with honesty, integrity and communication. I hope you will give me an opportunity to work for you and I guarantee a professional and rewarding experience. If you have any real estate-related questions, please contact me and I will get you answers!

Here's what one of my satisfied sellers agreed to share: "I was in a really bad situation and had to sell my home asap. Mike came in and quickly took charge. He not only identified needed repairs and improvements that would accelerate the sale, but went over and above the "call of duty" and actually helped with some of the repairs. I don't think you'll find an agent who gives more personal attention to his clients then Michael Bedner and I would not hesitate to call on his services again. I highly commend him!" Matt Hong
