About Jay Martinez

Born in the remote French island of New Caledonia in the South Pacific, my parents took me all over the world growing up living on 4 different continents crisscrossing the globe since the age of 1, changing environments and adapting to a variety of different cultures and spaces every couple years, because of their love for travel and adventure. It was not easy as a child having to start and stop life all so often, but it\'s in the end been an incredible education and eye-opener to understand and cater to people from so many different backgrounds. It\'s given me the powerful ability in real estate on the one hand to genuinely want to fully understand you and the goals you\'ve set out for your family, and on the other hand understand and influence the other side during negotiations to win on your behalf. Prior to being invited to join nationwide leading firm Compass Real Estate Los Angeles offices by industry veteran Aaron Kirman (at the time LA top luxury brokerage John Aaroe Group acquired by Compass in 2018), I took on, early on in my real estate career, team leadership roles managing small agent teams at Sotheby\'s International Realty and Keller Williams. Armed with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing and Finance with minors in Civil Engineering and Statistics through studies in Australia, the US, and Hong Kong, I compose well-researched and thought-out sales strategies for any client who wants to win in Today\'s LA and Palm Springs sophisticated real estate markets. In terms of marketing tools, my added experience in Information Technology (before real estate) leading teams of programmers at an international innovative tech company based in LA and Colombia gives me and you the ability to leverage the most current and best tech tools out there to market your property successfully in today\'s digital an social media age.
