Martin Zidell is known as The Renegade Realtor because of his success in turning traditional real estate sales on its head by uncovering and overcoming the real reasons a property may not be selling. He has developed an exclusive & proven Renegade System to help homeowners prepare, price and promote their home for a fast sale at full value.
Martin is a Master Certified Negotiation Expert, one of only about 2200 Realtors to ever achieve the designation. He uses these skills to negotiate the best price and terms for his clients.
His philosophy is "work hard, treat people right, love, laugh, do good things, and have fun." His real passion is changing people’s lives. He travels to Haiti to support orphanages and build self-sustaining villages.
He rides 8 days on horseback to participate in The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Parade. Martin is planning a 100-day Sailing adventure to explore the Caribbean, and possibly circumnavigate the globe.
