Kimberly Martinez, REALTOR®

The Perennial Pro

As an Iowa native who’s spent 30 years in the Corridor, 13 of those years as a licensed REALTOR®, Kimberly practically has all the area’s zip codes memorized. But that’s just one small feat for this agent, who’s hiked Pikes Peak, survived off-grid primitive kayaking adventures, and continues to explore and expand on her permaculture gardens when she’s not out in the wilderness somewhere.

Not even the toughest negotiations intimidate her. Complex deals that would send other agents running? Kimberly nurtures them from contract to closing with the same calm confidence she brings to navigating wilderness trails. Kimberly’s clients quickly learn that her attention to detail, resourcefulness, and extensive network make her one of the most trusted guides in real estate. 

Kimberly and her real estate partner, Jackie Saylor, take pride in making the buying and selling process as smooth and stress-free as possible. They work closely with each client, offering honest guidance, clear communication, and a true team effort every step of the way. Their warm, down-to-earth approach helps clients feel confident and cared for throughout the entire journey.

When she’s not turning real estate dreams into reality for buyers, sellers, and investors, you can find Kimberly adding to her perennial gardens, on a hiking trail, paddling her kayaks, or at the beach. She enjoys exploring new culinary finds and creating her own plant-based versions of them, and spending time with her husband, Francisco, and family.
