After weekending in the Berkshires for more than 25 years, Martha Piper moved permanently to Berkshire County in 2001.  As a former Wall Street executive, she found her niche here as a practicing broker in real estate in the Berkshires for the last 22 years. As a full time agent that puts clients first, she is a consistent leader in sales.

As a testament to her South Carolinian heritage, she has become a crucial part of the Berkshire community. A long time member of the Egremont Conservation Commission, she believes strongly in the preservation our natural landscape. An avid gardener, she is on the Board of the Berkshire Botanical Garden. She was also a member of the Board and Executive Committee of the acclaimed Barrington Stage Company where she served as Secretary of the Board and Chairman of the Real Estate/Facilities Committee.

Martha has both her Broker's license and her Certified Buyer's Representative credentials in MA as well as her NY Broker's license.  She is a Certified Negotiations Expert (CNE), a license held by fewer than one percent of Realtors nationally. She has also served on the Board of the Berkshires Board of Realtors. When not attending to the needs of her clients, Martha spends time gardening, golfing and enjoying her shaggy Bearded Collie and her crazy cat at the home she built in Mt. Washington.

Martha enjoys a reputation for tenaciously working in her clients’ best interest. Her expertise in negotiations joins with uncompromising integrity as a hallmark of her business. Thanks to an exceptionally loyal clientele Martha enjoys repeat business, and many personal referrals. She has built an extensive network of past clients and has an impressive portfolio of notable sold homes. To ensure ethical, efficient and complete service, she offers seamless assistance to clients in every aspect of their purchase or sale.

Sylvia Ogilvie

Martha was simply outstanding. She somehow managed to steer our transaction through to completion in what was a complete roller coaster of a transaction involving disputed wills, unresolved lawsuits, and a ton of liens. She never got flustered and always maintained a positive outlook. I would highly recommend Martha Piper.

I was a first time buyer in looking for a property in Great Barrington, 2000 miles away from my home in California. The best thing that happened to me was being connected to Agent Martha Piper. She exceeded all my expectations and is the most experienced agent I have dealt with. She we went above and beyond her means to make this a positive experience. Martha is diligent, competent, ethical and the consummate professional. I highly recommend her for any buyer in the Berkshires. Dr. Al Moorad
