More about Adrian

Hello, I’m Adrian Martens, a dedicated real estate expert committed to guiding clients through successful property transactions. My journey into real estate began in 2019, but my diverse background in finance, business management, and project leadership has given me a distinct advantage in this competitive industry.

I started my career studying to be a chartered accountant, completing my 5 year articles in 1995, which provided me with a strong financial foundation—essential for analyzing property investments, market trends, and negotiations. From 1995 to 2017, I successfully ran multiple businesses, including retail operations, a distribution center, and a catering company. These years of entrepreneurship sharpened my skills in customer service, operations, and strategic decision-making.

After a brief period in project management, I transitioned into real estate in 2019, initially as a general manager before moving into property sales. I quickly developed a passion for helping clients buy and sell properties, leveraging my financial expertise and business acumen to ensure smooth and successful transactions. Over time, I also took on a leadership role, managing a team of estate agents and mentoring them toward success.

At the beginning of 2025, I took an exciting step forward by joining my wife in the industry, and together, we now operate as Team Martens. Combining our expertise, we offer a dynamic, client-focused approach, ensuring every buyer and seller receives top-tier service, market insights, and expert negotiation strategies.

Real estate is more than just a transaction—it’s about building relationships, securing smart investments, and finding the perfect home. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and results-driven real estate team, Team Martens is here to help you achieve your property goals.
