MARTINE BONHOURE

Martine Bonhoure works with her clients far beyond the real estate transaction. Having relocated in 2002 from Grenoble, France, to Fort Collins, her extensive knowledge of Northern Colorado combined with her unwavering commitment to service is one reason Martine is a toptier agent.

Previously, Martine was an executive for an international corporation in France, a career that built up her impressive leadership and communication skills as she had the opportunity to travel extensively. From 2008 to 2013 she purchased and remodeled homes, and, shortly after, decided to pursue a career as a real estate agent. In 2013 she obtained her license and has been a trusted and knowledgeable leader in the industry ever since.

Martine works solo at Coldwell Banker and has a dedicated team responsible for managing every aspect of the selling or buying process. Serving Fort Collins and the surrounding markets, Martine is an expert in both assisting with relocation and showcasing upscale residences. “Many of the French tend to move to Denver, so I do business there as well,” she says. “I also do relocation for a large Brazilian company that moves Brazilians to Northern Colorado.” Martine’s repeat and referral business is 80 percent, a high number that can be attributed to her work ethic. “I’m very close to my clients,” she explains. “The quality of service I provide is important to me. So while I do get volume from referrals, I do not seek referrals.”

Her intelligent approach to marketing is one aspect that sets her apart within the industry. “I have a background in marketing and finance,” Martine says. “Before I go to the listing appointment, I do a very detailed list price analysis and I use that for the appraisal afterward.” By utilizing various analytics tools, Martine has set herself up for continued success and the ability to maintain a competitive advantage. Another defining quality that sets Martine apart is her attentiveness to client intentions and her dedication to consistently exceed their expectations. “I give as much exposure to a home as I can. I use lifestyle videos to tell stories about the homes and am active on social media.” One of her favorite areas of real estate is packaging a home for sale and everything that the marketing involves, including conducting in-depth analyses.

As far as her community involvement, Martine is active in helping foreign Nationals with a smooth transition to the USA “I do relocation help beyond buying a home,” she explains. “I help them get settled.” Part of her plans for the future includes adding a Brazilian buyer’s agent to assist in the relocation business. While she is fluent in French, English, and German, having a member on her team who speaks Portuguese would be beneficial. When she is not working or involved with the community, Martine loves to ski, hike, read, and travel, which often includes visiting France as much of her family reside there. Her daughter lives in Canada, and currently it is only Martine and her husband in Colorado. Martine’s multi-faceted, intrinsic approach toward her personal and professional life is unique among her peers and just one aspect that distinguishes her within the industry.
