A true Northern gem with Southern style, Nicole has been instrumental in making the Aiken, South Carolina real estate market correction after buying her own 17 acre farm upon her arrival in Aiken. What a difference having a broker who has experienced the process of working with local agents to buy a farm in a new area! She has been through the same process her clients face, so she
had the chance to see the pitfalls and areas of improvement that the local market needed first-hand. The Aiken market needed a change and it became her mission to take a hard line to ensure Aiken has effective, current pricing and a Realtor that understands that the sale of property is the undertaking of a real estate asset. Highly respected by her clients and colleagues, Nicole’s innate ability to advise, assess and analyze market values and trends blended with pure ambition is making a very positive mark on Aiken. Her passion for overcoming the complexities of buying and selling unique properties has attracted some very savvy property owners to her list of satisfied clients. This balance of working with high-wealth clients as well as selling unique properties has allowed her to perfect the art of servicing all clients with excellence, and her natural ability to be a no-nonsense communicator is valued by clients who expect results. When Nicole is not working directly with local clients, she is networking with her family and business associates in Boston, New York, Connecticut and beyond. Her northern roots have allowed her to assist clients crossing the threshold into owning property in South Carolina and Florida. In addition to spending time on her gated 17-acre oasis on the outskirts of Aiken, Nicole enjoys cool morning rides on her Dutch warm-blood gelding, logging flight hours and exploring a passion for flying a private plane, serving on the Aiken Center for the Arts board and generously donating to FOTAS (Friends of the Animal Shelter) and other philanthropic causes.

Samantha has been instrumental in creating a balanced, updated and information based approach to reforming Aiken’s real estate market one sale at a time. Her passion for critical data and accuracy have worked well to create clarity and excellence in every transaction. Samantha’s multi-cultural background and experiences living in Hawaii and Europe and extended travel abroad have not only opened the door to an international client base at home but has also empowered an out of the box thinking strategy that helps her navigate unique real estate transactions with ease. Her innate knowledge of finance and her abilities as an effective communicator are the tried and true assets that her clients have come to count on to effectively close the deal. As a former Navy wife, Samantha has had the privilege of visiting and experiencing a wider slice of the world than most get to see, and she has relocated, reinvented, and experienced re-entry countless times. When military life drew to a close and the world was their oyster, Samantha and her husband chose Aiken as the place to call home, raise their children and begin the next phase of their careers. A true ambassador to Aiken, Samantha makes our town the obvious choice for buyers, whether they are coming for sport or looking for quality of life. When Samantha is not spending her time creating excellence in service to her portfolio of real estate clients she is enjoying her incredible family and their dream home in one of Aiken’s premier equestrian communities, Three Runs Plantation. Samantha’s currently serves as a trusted point of contact on the liaison committee for her community, just another example of her passion for creating a level of excellence where she works and lives. Together the partners of Fabulous Aiken Homes, Nicole Martinez and Samantha Grove have been offering over 2 decades of real estate knowledge, marketing expertise and negotiation to clients who command superior experience when seeking the professional to handle their real estate investment. We look forward to speaking with you soon,
