Safe Harbor Realty is a family-owned real estate office in Westport, Massachusetts, run by mother-and-daughter broker-owners Karen and Nicole Martin. The company says the pair have helped buyers and sellers since 2003, serving communities across the South Coast of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, including Westport, Dartmouth, Fall River, New Bedford, Tiverton, Little Compton, and Freetown. Its work centers on buying and selling homes, property searches, comparative market analysis, marketing, negotiation, and staging. The customer history is consistently positive. Google shows 5 stars from 64 ratings, and 48 written reviews from 2021 through 2026 describe help with purchases, sales, rentals, and complex transactions. In recent reviews, customers mention responsive communication, local-market knowledge, detailed pricing guidance, strong photography and marketing, and a sale that drew two offers—including one above asking—after six days. A customer buying remotely from California described a successful Dartmouth rental and later cottage purchase, while another praised the team for handling multiple simultaneous property transactions. Older reviews add specific examples rather than just general praise. A 2023 homeowner credited Karen’s staging, marketing, and photography with producing a strong offer; a 2022 reviewer described a difficult winter sale where she resolved issues and achieved top dollar; and another customer said Karen helped with online paperwork and later supplied missing sale documents. Buyers also describe guidance through first purchases, complex sales, and transactions involving multiple properties. Safe Harbor Realty is the right fit for buyers and sellers seeking hands-on guidance in the South Coast market, particularly when local knowledge, communication, marketing, or transaction coordination matters. Before booking, confirm which agent will lead the work, the exact towns involved, the proposed marketing plan, and the current fee and representation terms.
Karen is very knowledgeable, helpful and extremely easy to work with. If you're going to sell a house, be sure to get in touch with her.
I had a great experience working with Karen Martin. She was extremely responsive, professional, and knowledgeable about the local real estate market. She took the time to prepare a detailed comparative market analysis and provided thoughtful insight into the property’s value and the factors that influence pricing decisions. What I appreciated most was her honesty, professionalism, and willingness to answer my questions without pressure. She took the time to explain her perspective and helped me better understand the market conditions and options involved in a complex situation. I truly appreciate the time and expertise she provided. If we ultimately decide that the property needs to be listed, she will be one of the first people we contact. I would highly recommend Karen Martin to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and responsive real estate professional. -S. Wilson
