Before entering the real estate services industry, Martin began his career at De Gradpré Chait as a lawyer specializing in real estate and construction law. His most significant accomplishments while at the firm include the construction phase of the Bell Centre, Transat AT’s commercial and real estate litigation, and transfer of underperforming mortgages for Bandera. Martin recognized his talents would be better served helping clients directly in their real estate decisions and left law to pursue a career as tenant representative broker with Staubach Leonard McKeague in Montreal.
