About Gilles (Jay) Martinez

Jay and Gil are the #2 Team at the Compass Real Estate Sunset Strip Office, ranked among 100+ agents in 2020. On one hand, Jay and Gil help home buyers and investors make sound & lucrative investment decisions by taking the time to completely understand their clients' needs and their timeline for purchase, and on the other hand, help their sellers prepare their property carefully for a successful market launch accompanying it with a stellar marketing and advertising campaign. We've helped many home sellers draw unprecedented attention to their property through industry-leading and very active marketing techniques throughout the life of a listing (most agents give up after a few weeks) that resulted in a strong sale in a multiple offers scenario. We've also helped countless buyers win bidding wars (in some cases stopping them early through skillful convincing to our client's advantage!) as well as helped many clients re-enter the market successfully after first failed representation by previous agents. If you're looking for a leading, caring, professional charismatic team with a strong track record of winning, Jay and Gil have sold 200+ homes since 2012 and have very rarely fallen out of escrow once to this day in the Greater Los Angeles and Palm Springs areas. We match borrowers with the most challenging financial profile to the right lender for successful loan pre-approval on one hand, and on the other hand, negotiate skillfully and think out of the box to protect our sellers' equity during escrow to ensure a successful close at top dollar. Call us today for a successful sale or purchase, we appreciate the opportunity to help you!

Thank God for these two! SeriouslyaEUR| Best realtors in LAaEUR| I say this because I was working with another realtor prior to meeting themaEUR| ??Jay and Gil are incredible! I'm beyond grateful for them! They made purchasing my first home SIMPLE and painless. ??????I own a business and have little to no timeaEUR| Let me tell you- buying a home with these two will make it easy. Yessss- it was easy!!! Especially with Docusign etc ? They are extremely thorough! Whether it be text reminders- incredibly detailed emails- not some macro. They also provided me with a wonderful mortgage broker- Lindy! They actually care about their clients ??In a nutshell- I decided to go to a few open houses with my mother and just see what was out there - without representation. (As mentioned prior I wasnt too happy with my original realtor) I saw the house and thought it was perfectaEUR| I wanted to make sure that this was the home for me- He let me come back 3 times to look at it. He also showed me one other property I was interested in before I made my decision. AND I decided to go with the West Hollywood / Melrose house!!! I LOVE IT!!! I was a first time homebuyer in an incredible neighborhood- during the pandemic. I'm so blessed and couldnt have done it without them. Jay was my realtor and Gil represented the Seller. It was meant to be! I'm telling you- I cannot say enough good things about the two- especially Jay because he helped me. He is extremely knowledgeable, funny, and to quote him- aEURoethe best looking realtor in townaEUR? haha Jay- youre welcome ?? You two are a power couple ? If/when I look for my second home- you can be sure I will be working with them - you should too ??Happy house hunting everyone ??

Jay and Gil are two of the best in the business. I met them on a whim looking at another house in the area and brought them into a house I wanted to put an offer on. Jay was exceptional at being patient in the process with an extremely difficult seller and I can honestly say had my personal interest as his true north. Can't thank Jay enough for his patients & resourcefulness in the process. Highly recommended.

Jay and Gil have done it again! We gave them quite a challenge! Sell our place in record time, make us the triple-digit-profit promised, win a 10 person bidding war with a contingent-financed offer, and then re-negotiate after inspections to get us 100K off the final price. We are mind blown! Not only did they do it all... they made it easy, and got us more than we asked! Their marketing is top notch! They thrive under stress and make it a point to take on the stress of all of it for you. They are excellent at communication (day and night)! They never seemed bothered by complex and simple questions. They are truly invested. They fight for you. It is very clear they are the best!

This is the second time we work with them. The first time, 6 years ago, they help us to close a condo in West Hollywood. They were very diligent and provided an excellent service. They helped us on the whole process. Since then we believe in their professionalism, experience and ethical work.This second time we contacted them to sell the condo. They were involved in all the process. An important point is that we dont live in California and the entire process was executed perfectly by emails, zoom and phone calls. They checked/visited the condo and at the next day they presented us with a plan and the budget needed to execute it. The plan involved different stages and timelines beginning from repairs/remodeling ideas and suggestions to staging, negotiating different offers and closing with the escrow company. The remodeling was remarkable, the unit look amazing with an exquisite taste. The negotiation skills were impressive. All offers were always consult and discussed with us. Jay and Gilbert are very professional, super awesome, ethical, courteous and they did a fabulous job.If you are looking for agents to sell or to buy your apartment/condo Jay and Gilbert will advise you in the whole process from remodeling, staging to closing. We had an outstanding experience both buying and selling our condo with them.

Working with Jay and Gil to list and sell my 5 bedroom home was an incredibly positive experience. They were very efficient, communicated thoroughly throughout the process, and were essential in closing escrow. I have worked with a number of realtors in the past but Jay and Gil are definitely some of the best in the business. I would highly recommend working with them for anyone seriously considering real estate options in the Los Angeles area.
