My family and I own and operate Better Homes and Gardens- By Design in Winter Haven. I'm a long time Winter Haven resident (Over 45 years) and I have the local connections, tools and negotiating skills to get the job done and preserve as much of your hard earned investment as possible.

I specialize in the East Polk County including Winter Haven, Lake Wales, Auburndale, Haines City and Lakeland and have successfully closed over 350 transactions at over 71 million dollars in sales since 2013.
I became involved in Real Estate part time in 1998 when I started buying rental properties for my own interests. At one point, I had purchased up to 15 rental properties comprised of single family homes, a duplex, and some quadraplexes. I did my own property management for my rentals. I learned a great deal about Real Estate and rental properties over the next several years.
As a professional in the real estate field, I find that customer service trumps the sale of property. Buying and selling is an important step, but not as important as having that special agent there to help the client throughout the entire process and that's what I do. I possess a spirit of excellence and I am a go-getter at heart.

Outstanding service and professionalism.
After interviewing three real estate agents we decided to use Brad Martin. He accurately priced our home and it sold within 3 days. He and Vicky paid great attention to detail and were very attentive to our questions and needs throughout the entire selling process. Everything went smoothly from start to finish.
The professional photography was also greatly appreciated. My husband and I would highly highly recommend using them and we will definitely use their services again in the future. Very very good people to work with.

Brad was an ABSOLUTE PLEASURE to work with during our home buying process! After only a brief conversation, he intuitively knew exactly what kind of homes to show us! Brad has extensive local knowledge of everything from neighborhoods to the very best people to help with all things home and landscaping after the purchase! He was always responsive and friendly! Brad was on top of all of our inspections and sought answers to all of my questions even as the rest of Florida was preparing for a major hurricane!! Dedication and nailing all the details perfectly define his style. Look to Brad Martin for

We couldn't be happier with the work Brad did on selling our home. We went under contract 3 times with our home, and only for reasons due to the potential buyers backing out the first 2 times for reasons out of anyone's control. The great thing was each time we got a new contract the bids went up and we sold our home for much more than we thought possible, and above list price. Rhonda was actually the sellers agent when we bought the home, and my mother who was my realtor then enjoyed working with her so much she referred us back to their team when we were ready to sell and my mother was not able

It is with the highest level of comfort for me to promote the positive experiences I have had with Brad and Rhonda and the team at By Design. They have handled multiple transactions for me on both acquiring/repositioning/marketing and reselling properties since September of 2012, and I have more faith and confidence in their abilities and values than ever before. They will invest 100% in you and your goals. That's a rare and valuable thing to appreciate in my book and I would never hesitate to be a reference for them to back-up any points or comments made here.

Brad and Rhonda sold our house in 2 weeks! I can speak for both of us when I say it was the best realtor experience we could ever ask for. The communication was great and with our hectic schedules they accommodated us with courtesy and professionalism. We experienced some last minute snags with our movers and time was running short but Brad listened to our predicament and calmed the buyers down and our closing went on as planned. We will use no one else moving forward!
A friend used or recommendation and even though her house was not in the best of locations, it sold for more than she ever thought

Rhonda sold us our first home in Winter Haven. She handled all of our needs and more while we made the move from Alabama. The process was so easy for us, due to her hard work and dedication.
My husband decided his dream was to be on the water which meant selling our existing home. Brad and Rhonda spent a lot of time working and preparing us for the listing process. Brad assured us they would use their knowledge, expertise and their use of available technology to sell our home in a timely manner. Brad sold our house in less than a week!!
After we received contract on existing home they found our
