Situs, the firm Martin founded in 1985, grew from a local Houston-based brokerage company into one of the world’s leading commercial real estate consultancies.

In 2011, Situs was sold to Helios AMC, a rated special servicer sponsored by Ranieri Partners that provides commercial real estate debt and equity management services. The company had over 400 employees across nine offices in the US and Europe at the time of its sale.

In addition he has spearheaded BHW’s expanding multifamily development efforts.
