Every one of them, below. Pick a phrase to read the reviews that speak to it.
My partner and I were meeting in the middle so to speak with him moving from Texas and myself from New York. A big and stressful move for us but Marty helped us endlessly along the way. With him going above and beyond (ie. him sending us video walk throughs of potential homes before we could even get to the area.) He was both communicative and resourceful. He also helped us save over 50k on closing costs (definitely makes him a great negotiator!) Even after closing he checked in on us and a few of the home problems we discovered during inspection and gave us numbers to companies to help with those repairs. In short? Resourceful, Respectful and Responsive. Highly recommend.
We were really picky, but Marty stuck with us and eventually did find a piece of property that we were 100% satisfied with. He was amazing throughout the process. He answered our numerous questions and put us together with a general contractor who could answer the ones he couldn’t. He also did an amazing job helping negotiate the price down. In fact, he saved us $12,000, which was almost 20% off the asking price. I would recommend Marty to anybody buying property! He definitely deserves a 5 star rating!
He knows the real estate market so well that he sold our home the first day it was listed! He communicated Through the entire process to keep us in the loop. His professional network of contractors was extremely helpful when we had questions or needed something done. If you are buying or selling Marty will exceed your expectations with exceptional service from start to finish. It’s personal with Marty. He truly cares and has your best interest as his focus with selling and buying.
From start to finish, he kept us up to date on showings and overall activity. He was professional, responsive, and truly looked out for our best interests every step of the way. The entire process was smooth and stress free. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.
He provided genuine care and support during an emotional time with the sale of my Dad’s house (out of my state). He provided exceptional market knowledge and had outstanding communication. Any questions or concerns were answered quickly with efficiency. Marty is kind, caring, highly professional, reliable with strong negotiating skills, and problem solving techniques. You would be lucky to retain Marty as your agent!
He was very responsive with his communications and with the amount of time he spent with us. Our schedule was very demanding and Marty always made us feel comfortable with the process. When we had to leave town, Marty went the extra mile and toured homes for us via video chat. We finally found "the one" and once again, Marty helped us navigate the buying process! Would highly recommend using Marty!

Our previous experience with RE agents was very unpleasant and left us with a negative opinion of all agents. Meeting the first time with Marty I felt as if we could actually trust him to understand our situation and "hear" us. He doesn't push or pressure, he is upfront, honest and very helpful. Highly recommend.
Marty is top of the class in integrity and market knowledge. He sold our home in hours- not days or weeks. Then he traveled 3 hours half a dozen times and helped us through a land purchase. I never once had a doubt that he had our best interests in mind. Whether you are selling a million dollar home or buying a small fixer upper, I feel Marty has a knack for treating every customer like they are his #1 priority.
He was always on time and made the Contract process from start to finish fast and simple I would recommend Marty for any and all our future Realty needs.💯👍

He went above and beyond to get my house sold. You couldnt ask for a better realtor.
This man went above and many beyonds to not only assist me in purchasing my house in TN, but also helped me sell my home in NC. He took the time to explain every thing every step of the way. He was very responsive and easy to talk to. I didn't realize how much of a Gem I had in a Realtor. I will HIGHLY RECOMMEND MARTY TO ANYONE IN A HEARTBEAT! Thanks so much Marty for your best effort in getting me my new home. My family and I will FOREVER be grateful!!!!
Let me explain. When we first listed in August of 2024 an election year and so much uncertainty added to unusual mix in the housing market. Marty did a very good job to guide us through this unusual market helping us make adjustments. We had to take the house off the market for travel. Marty stood by and waited for us to return. We relisted. Marty already had clients and in one day under contact. Marty stood by the selling process, there was some decisions to be made. Marty was able to provide solutions and truly made the process of selling a smooth stress less one. House sold May 2025! I highly recommend Marty Muckenfuss as your realtor.

His advice & guidance were always in our best interest. Which resulted in the sale of a property we couldn’t be happier about. Thank you Marty!

We had been looking for a while to purchase a lot for a custom home build for our retirement. We settled on the area, just needed the right lot to come up. What looked like the perfect lot came up on Zillow and we contacted Marty. He listened to what we were looking for and provided insight on the lot and community. This was a remote purchase, over a 5-hour commute, so we relied heavily on Marty. Within a week, Marty was in contact with the FSBO seller to coordinate a time to video tour the property. He walked the lot, created the video and assured us the lot would accommodate our planned build. We were confident enough to make the commute to see the lot and the community. We commuted on a Friday, met Marty early on Saturday, walked the lot, toured the community and decided on the spot to put in an offer. By 2pm that day, the deal was done and we were back home Saturday night excited by what just happened. Over the next three weeks, Marty guided us through the closing process, managing the interactions and document reviews so we could close remotely. From initial contact to final closing, the whole deal took less than a month. Marty’s professionalism and dedication truly made a difference in our lot purchase process, especially considering the remote nature of the transaction. It’s impressive how he took the initiative to walk the lot, create a video, and ensure it met our needs, which was a huge relief given the distance. Marty’s commitment didn’t stop once the offer was accepted; his continued support throughout the closing process and beyond demonstrates his dedication to his clients. It’s clear that he not only facilitated the purchase but also played a crucial role in making us feel confident and informed every step of the way. Greatly appreciated. Job well done!
Great communication! Highly recommend Marty for your next real estate transaction! He is knowledgeable, professional and responsive.
From the very beginning, Marty was always available and quick to respond, no matter the time or question. Even after we found our dream home, he continued to support us, answering countless questions and offering advice every step of the way. His dedication to his clients goes above and beyond, and we truly felt that he was there for us through the entire process. If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring realtor, Marty is the one you want by your side!
From day one, he was always available to answer questions and provide guidance throughout the entire home-buying process. Even after we found the perfect home, Marty continued to be there for us, offering valuable advice and patiently addressing all our concerns. His commitment to helping us didn’t stop once the deal was done—he truly goes the extra mile. If you want a realtor who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about his clients, Marty is the one you can trust.
I had to leave town for work and was extremely busy, Marty was very understanding and patient with me. I could not have asked for a friendlier more helpful realtor. He was able to recommend people to help me clean my home and take care of the gardening. My house looked beautiful. I would definitely recommend him.
My partner and I were meeting in the middle so to speak with him moving from Texas and myself from New York. A big and stressful move for us but Marty helped us endlessly along the way.

We were 2 cousins looking to go into home ownership together. He navigated those waters deftly. His negotiating skills are top notch! I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
As first-time homebuyers in East Tennessee, we were a bit nervous about the process, but Marty made everything seamless. His knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and dedication to finding us the perfect home truly exceeded our expectations. We were moving from out of state, and I was on a work trip 18 time zones away through the whole process. He patiently answered all our questions, provided valuable insights, and advocated for us every step of the way. We bought our house sight unseen, but because Marty went to every home on our list to take detailed videos and commentary, we felt much more comfortable making the right decision. In fact, the home we wound up purchasing wasn’t in our top 3, but when Marty saw this home, he advised that it be our number 1. Because of the enduring trust he had built with us through the process, we took his advice and thank goodness we did. We wound up closing on our dream home and couldn’t be happier with the location! We couldn't have asked for a better realtor and highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in Knoxville and East Tennessee. Thank you for everything, Marty!
He covers a large span of the eastern TN area and yet always responds to calls and messages very promptly. He is a good listener, a keen observer, and a good negotiator. He tirelessly showed me many houses until I found the dream home. I feel comfortable recommending him to anyone who wants to find a home in the eastern TN rea.
And he also brought our attention to many others. He worked with us from December until we closed in April. He drops everything to help you out in a crunch. The house we finally found, he was the one that found it and knew it fit our particular needs. Just put it this way; If I ever need an agent again, I will be calling Marty Muckenfuss.He is my go to guy.
It's nice to know when a realtor has your best interest in mind and is not just out to make a commission. Also as busy as he is he always returned my calls in a timely manor or would even drop what he was doing to tend to my needs. For example I reached out to him on superbowl Sunday and he was willing to meet up on a moments notice to show me a home. It was a breath of fresh air working with someone who is so transparent, driven, and as helpful and communicative as Marty is. He is beyond helpful throughout the process by walking you through everything a step at a time. Looking forward to doing business with him again.
Marty was with us every step of the way. He listened to everything we were looking for and after spending a whole day looking for a houses with us, we went back to back to Massachusetts empty handed. Marty did not skip a beat and continued to look for homes with our specific requests. Within a day he had a perfect house. He visited and checked out the neighborhood for us! Marty was very responsive and we appreciate all that he did for our family!! Highly recommend!!
The process from beginning to end was so quick and easy. Marty got to work right away and was very confident in the listing process. We highly recommend Marty Muckenfuss for any real estate needs you may have!
This is the third home we've purchased and he by far made this the easiest process we've experienced! He listened intently to what our needs were and went out of his way to make sure we got the deal we wanted. He let us know what changes we needed to make to our home before the sale and everything he suggested helped our home show to buyers beautifully! We were able to get full asking price after one full day on the market! I would highly recommend using Marty's services!
He answered every question I had If he didn't know the answer he found it, and got wright back to me. Have bought many properties, The best agent I have dealt with by far. Paul McCardle ;
He patiently looked at many properties with me and talked about the positives and negatives of each. Marty is very knowledgeable and helpful and I would absolutely recommend working with him.
He went out of his way to accommodate our schedules and the range of properties we looked over. He paid attention to our needs and wants (even during times of indecision). He provided useful property information and when the time came, he provided great contacts for title work, home inspection, etc. prior to closing. We could tell Marty is very customer based and concerned with providing a home and deal that we would be happy with. We plan to have Marty sell our original home when the time comes.
We connected with Marty but weren't sure when or where we would buy land. He stayed in touch & even provided leads to agents outside his area. In the end we worked exclusively with Marty. He spent hours, above & beyond what a typical realtor would, walking with us through dense brush, up and down steep inclines, exploring raw properties, making sure we saw the entire scope of the acreages. In the end, he helped us close on 20 acres. Working with Marty was like having a family member handling our transaction. We most definitely would recommend Marty to anyone looking to buy or sell property!
He is an excellent communicator and always returned my calls quickly. I highly recommend him.
Also, Marty always pointed out the positive and negative points of the property and wasn't just trying to make a sale. We would highly recommend Marty and will be using him for any furfure home purchases.
As far as I'm concerned he will negotiate all future purchases. Amazing! Got us just what we wanted at the price we wanted! Highly recommend. Give him a call! He's kind and works for you!
He walks you through every step of the process. He pointed out all the pluses and minuses of each property we looked at. Even though he had other clients, he always made me feel like a priority. If I were in the real estate business, he would be the first realtor I hired. I cannot recommend a better agent than Marty. You will not regret hiring him. I promise.
He was very helpful and patient during the process. He was very responsive to our questions and made sure we were informed every step of the way. Definitely recommend Marty and would be happy to have him represent us in the future.
He is also extremely thorough. He is on top of everything. He Makes sure that the job is done and is willing to go through the ups and downs with the buyer and seller.

He went out of his way . Showed me several nice homes. Narrowing down my search. Then we went to the perfect property. A 9 car garage home on 30 acres. It was just what I was looking for. He even did my final walkthrough for me. He helped me secure the home, with a fast closing. I can’t say enough about everything Marty did to help me locate my new home. If you are in need of a realtor that cares about what is important to you then you need to look up Marty Muckenfuss. He is the only realtor you will need. Thank you again Marty. Sincerely Kevin Wyatt
No thank you.
We moved from Florida to Tennessee and struggled to find a realtor that would call you back or even wanted to bother with a new client, constantly getting voicemails or handed off to other realtors. We found out Marty is also from Florida, has an amazing approach and work ethic, unlike tennessee realtors or most realtors in general. He is a realtor that will call you back, speak with you by phone when asked, needed or urgent and not rely simply on text and email which can be impersonal. Marty understands urgency in a hot market, moving quick and having your best interest in mind. He is what TRUE customer service is and should be! When we met Marty for the first time, he asked to see what our existing house looked like to see our style and how we lived, interested in getting to know us personally. He shared his story on why he chose real estate, who he is and what he brings to the table. The first house we saw with him he spotted serious crawlspace/foundation issues which we did not notice and could have cost us a fortune or even wasted time after putting in an offer and discovering after inspection. Our new home and new future could not have been possible without his professionalism, help and dedication. Marty is truly passionate about what he does and is in it to genuinely help people, with honesty and a smile on his face. He has earned the title of not only our realtor but also our friend. So do yourself a favor, if you are moving to East Tennessee, dont waste your time calling anyone else. Thank you Marty!!!
We were 2 cousins looking to go into home ownership together. He navigated those waters deftly. His negotiating skills are top notch! I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
A+
I am an out-of-Towner looking for a very, very specific home PLUS, my home had to be worked on so I could not just up and drive 4+ hours to see a home. So Marty went to many, many homes and video-taped them for me! He went ABOVE and BEYOND with helping me in that respect. Then, when my home sold, I was coming to TN IN 4 days and he got me booked to see the homes I wanted to see! It was THAT trip I found my forever, peaceful home. He then guided me through every step remotely! FANTASTIC REALTOR!

We found Marty using the Peer Review web site, which is a web site where agents rate each other. So we could see from that site that Marty might be easy to work with. Marty pointed out things about the houses that were not apparent to us, and genuinely seemed devoted to finding us a house that met our individual needs. Marty was really familiar with each of the areas we visited, which we were not. This helped us feel confident as we decided on our house. In the end he found us a house that we are really happy with and made the transaction as smooth and easy as possible.
He listened, went the extra mile to check out locations when we were unable, his communication was impeccable and timely. I can not say enough about how much we appreciate all that he did to find us the perfect location in Tennessee for our family!!
Marty took the time to explain the process, answer any and all questions, and was always available. Marty listened to what I was wanting. He helped me find it and, best of all, negotiated me the price I wanted. I would definitely use and recommend Marty to anyone looking at real-estate.
He got me a fair price for my land in Rock Harbor. and FAST. like seriously I think it was less than a month before I had a fair offer. I had listed it with Zillow before and reached out to a few individuals who all wanted to low ball me. Oh, the woes of selling land without a house.. I'm hopeful that his buyers are as satisfied as I am. Would recommend him to anyone!
He was always available to show us homes and the process of buying was a breeze! Highly recommend! Thank you for everything!!

He helped me every step of the way, going out of his way to be certain that I understood what was happening and knew what to expect. I would heartily recommend him as the very best realtor anyone could ever find to walk the real estate journey with them. I’ve gained so much more than a realtor, I’ve gained a friend.
He handled our family like we were long time friends. Marty isn’t afraid to put the work in when needed to help a seller do what is necessary to find a buyer. He sacrificed his time and energy over and above what was required of him. Marty communicates in a timely fashion and you are never left wishing for an update. We had a fantastic experience with him, and would encourage anyone to use him!
I came to east Tennessee. Luckily, I found Marty. He has been a pleasure to work with. If I had questions he got me answers, always available, very professional you will not find a better realtor.
We talked before I sold my FL house and when I got up here we hit the ground running. He gave me lots of his time and advice and I very much appreciated his expertise and professionalism. Plus, he's a really nice guy with a great sense of humor.
Tell Marty what you're thinking about — you'll get what the numbers say, even when the answer is "wait."
