Martha H. Thorn
(727) 432-9019


"Don't Make A Move
Without Me!"



Martha, Founder of the Thorn Collection, worked hard and smart to get to the top of the mountain, and to stay there.  All good real estate agents have to be able to sell, and Martha is a great sales woman.  All top agents have good credentials, and Martha has impeccable credentials.  One thing that sets Martha apart is that she is a wise business woman.  She recognizes the emotional aspects of buying or selling each property, but in addition she helps clients see the purely business aspects of each listing.  She skillfully helps buyers and sellers reach that magic point where each party recognizes that "X" is the right price.  It is a great testament to Martha that buyers, sellers and other Realtors trust her.   Another skill that helps keep Martha in the Winner's Circle is her ability to gather and harness the collective power of a great group of professional woman, who collectively give another meaning to "the Thorn Collection."  Buying and selling luxury properties is a delicate dance, and nobody does it better than the women at the Thorn Collection.
