Though born in Colombia, Martha spent her childhood in New York before she and her family moved to the Tampa Bay area. Her upbringing taught her core values of integrity and passion for what you do in life. Those values and her upbeat personality are evident in every client interaction, whether they are buying or selling a home.

Martha got her first taste for real estate when she bought her first condo at 19 years old. Once she closed on the condo, she began interning with the realtor who sold her the property to learn more about the real estate market. From there she gained more knowledge through her work at Coldwell Banker before joining her partner to open the V & V Real Estate firm.

Martha and her partner changed their business model during the recession to focus on property management, creating the Elite Investor Program. The program targeted clients who would buy low income homes, handling everything from financing to the property management. She also oversaw a large staff of employees and agents as a broker manager.

Twelve years later, Martha is an expert in the real estate field with experience negotiating contracts, rental services, international sales and more. She recently made a decision to relocate back to New York City, transitioning back into residential real estate. She believes that experience is not the only key to a successful closing. It?s also necessary a broker cares about the little things, such as whether or not a building accepts animals. As a dog lover herself, Martha knows finding the right home means finding the right one for your pets.

What sets Martha apart from the rest of New York brokers is her outgoing personality and ability to treat people as friends rather than clients. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family (including her adorable dog, Louis), running, cooking, attending museums, attending fashion and jewelry events and being active on the New York City social scene. She is fluent in English, Spanish and speaks French intermediately.
