Eric and I have each owned successful businesses and built careers in service oriented industries. Our respective strengths combine to give buyers and sellers a fantastic and well-rounded package.
Prior to joining Metropolist in 2016, Emily spent most of her working life in the beauty industry as a salon owner, stylist and educator, allowing her to develop unbeatable people skills. She worked with many of her clients for more than 25 years, building deep and often multigenerational relationships. Emily also has a SRES (Senior Real Estate Specialist) which satisfies her passion for working with a more "senior" clientele.
In addition to his work at Metropolist, Eric owns a successful and highly respected alternative medicine clinic in downtown Seattle. Previously he spent considerable time in corporate development roles in the technology sector including time with Intel. Eric is the transactional guy and a bit of a contracts wonk. He will make sure you understand what you are agreeing to and that your interests are well represented at the negotiation table.
Together, we are Austin and Martin.
You will likely choose us if you’re looking for a trusted guidance throughout the buying and/or selling process. We are service oriented, hardworking and committed to giving our clients the information they need to be successful. We enjoy working with first time buyers, buyers relocating to Seattle either for work or to be near family, and empty nesters who are ready (or needing) to downsize. Oh, and bonus points if you are “dog people”.
Buying a house in West Seattle could not have been a better experience than it it was Emily and Eric. The attention they gave us, how quickly they responded, their knowledge of the area and the market, and their anticipation of what to do next were truly exceptional. We certainly weren't their only clients, but it felt like it.
They began helping us several months before we were ready to buy, but their responsive was immediate, even though they knew it would be a while before we could do anything. And we were in California at the time. That didn't matter. Their communication was as if they were waiting outside our door to answer any and all questions.
In the frenzied seller's market of early 2020, with coronavirus restrictions beginning to pinch and just about to freeze the market temporarily, you had to be quick. On the Friday when we decided to put in an offer (just the day after we saw our house), Emily took the initiative to get an inspector to the house within a couple of hours that same day, beating the weekend and further restrictions. They had our offer ready next morning, and we got the house.
Since then, Emily and Eric have checked in with us to see how we're doing and how things are going. We not only had wonderful real estate agents, we now also have friends.
Thank you, Emily and Eric. -

Emily Austin and Eric Martin were a Dynamo Duo as my realtors this spring. This was my third time needing a realtor in the last twenty-five years, and they were by far the best realtors for me. This Austin Martin team was recommended by my daughter, with whom I just bought a house. During our 4.5 month process, Emily and Eric s enthusiasm for the job never waivered. They readily shared with us their knowledge of the Seattle market, and helped us maneuver through property after property. My trust in them grew as the weeks went on. Even though the move-in started months ago, we ve kept in touch because they are just wonderful people as well as our former realtors. I whole-heartedly recommend the Austin Martin team to any buyer looking for knowledgeable, personal service.

Emily and her partner Eric greatly surpassed my expectations in my experience working with them. They took the time to understand what I was looking for, responded quickly and knowledgeably, and were very patient answering my many questions. They walked me through the whole process of searching for a house in a calm and positive way, plus they were a lot of fun, which is important when you're spending so much time looking at houses together! They went above and beyond previewing properties for me, being available to show properties, and making the process as easy as possible. And now I'm living in a lovely house! I highly recommend them.

As a first time home buyer, you can't have a more dedicated, caring and responsive team than Emily Austin and Eric Martin. They walked me through every step of the home buying process and spent hours driving me around to look at properties - taking extra care to listen to my needs and desires for the perfect home and narrowing down properties that fit for me. When it came time to negotiate a contract, they made sure I understood what was being put on the table and presented something that was both fair and as competitive as possible. Buying a home is stressful, but with Austin & Martin as your team, you'll feel you're getting the absolute best care to make it a memorable experience. I couldn't have found my perfect home without them! And it didn't stop after I bought my home - they always check up on me to see how I'm doing! Don't hesistate - you absolutely want Austin & Martin!

Austin and Martin were a delight to work with.
They have vast knowledge of the area. I can t even tell you how many houses they previewed for me when I was unavailable.
Truly they made my buying experience a breeze. And again they are wonderful, caring people who want to help find your forever home. I would highly recommend going with this fabulous team.
