I'm Luciano Martinez, a bilingual REALTOR® with RE/MAX Platinum serving McAllen, Mission, Edinburg, and the Rio Grande Valley. I help first-time buyers, move-up buyers, and sellers across Hidalgo County with straight answers, local market data, and no pressure.

GRI Certified • SFR Certified • Serving the RGV since 2020
Real estate in the RGV is personal. You're not buying a stock or a car. You're buying the place you'll live, raise kids, or grow your investment. I treat it that way.
Here's what you get when you work with me:
Bilingual service in English and Spanish, which matters in the Valley.
Real local data on Mission, McAllen, Edinburg, Sharyland, and surrounding areas, not generic Zillow numbers.
New construction expertise across Mission, Edinburg, and McAllen so you see new builds before they hit the open market.
Direct answers on price, timing, and what your home is actually worth.
RE/MAX Platinum backing, which gives you access to one of the strongest brokerages in South Texas.
Texts and calls returned, not ghosted.

If you're new to the Valley or buying your first home, we'll talk about budget, lender options, and what your money actually buys in each city. No pressure.
Looking for new construction homes? I track new builds across Mission, Edinburg, and McAllen, including pre-construction inventory you won't always find on the public MLS.

Do you help buyers find new construction homes in Mission, Edinburg, and McAllen?
Yes. New construction is one of the fastest-growing segments in the RGV. I track new builds across Mission, Edinburg, and McAllen, including pre-construction inventory from local and national builders. If you're shopping new construction, having your own agent costs you nothing and protects your interests during the build process.
What areas of the Rio Grande Valley do you serve?
I help buyers and sellers across Hidalgo County, with most of my work in McAllen, Mission, Edinburg, and Sharyland. I also serve Pharr, Alamo, San Juan, Palmview, Alton, and surrounding RGV communities.
How do I find out what my house is worth in McAllen or Mission?
Online estimators like Zillow's Zestimate are a starting point, but they miss a lot of local detail. For a real number, request a free home valuation on this site or call me directly. I'll pull recent comparable sales in your neighborhood and give you a price range based on actual RGV market data.
How long does it take to buy a home in the RGV?
From pre-approval to closing, most buyers take 45 to 75 days. Cash buyers can close in 2 to 3 weeks. The timeline depends on financing, inspections, and how fast you find the right house. I'll walk you through every step.
Do I need to be pre-approved before I start looking at homes?
Yes. Sellers in McAllen, Mission, and Edinburg take pre-approved buyers more seriously, and you'll know your real budget before you fall for a house outside it. I can connect you with local lenders if you don't already have one.
Do you help both buyers and sellers?
Yes. I work with first-time buyers, move-up buyers, sellers, and investors across the RGV. Every transaction is different, so the strategy changes based on your goals and the local market conditions.
