Martin began practicing real estate in 2013 after a successful career in marketing, advertising, and design. Following the Recession, he focused inward and decided to apply his business expertise, his eye for aesthetic, his diligence, and his demeanor toward helping people buy and sell their homes while they invest in their futures.
Since beginning, Martin has become one of the greater East Bay’s top-producing real estate agents. He practices with care and strives to develop a solid, lasting partnership with his clients both as a go-to, approachable advisor and as a friend. He enjoys being a guide in the process, navigating the market, and sharing his insights while helping to accomplish his clients’ goals.
Prior to finding his passion in real estate Martin served at Saatchi & Saatchi S where he helped clients including Wal-Mart, NBC Universal, Duke Energy and more shift their business operations toward sustainability. Among other things, he has applied his talent at a handful of other Publicis Groupe agencies, slung coffee, owned and operated two design-oriented businesses, made pizzas, bought five 18-wheelers of Monster Energy Drink at once (literally), washed dishes, worked for Apple, threw newspapers, and became an Eagle Scout.
He received his Master’s in Sustainable Business (MBA) from Presidio Graduate School in San Francisco and his Bachelor’s (BA) in Modern Literature and Creative Writing from UC Santa Cruz where he also studied photography, film, and fine art.
In his “off-time” Martin is a supporter of and serves on the board of Bridgegood, an East Bay community non-profit which focuses on the support and development of design careers in underserved communities. He also serves on an HOA board in Adams Point, likes to work on his home in Maxwell Park and on his old truck, prefers vintage over novel, continues to dabble in photography, plays tennis poorly, occasionally sails, and tries to keep his dog happy.
