About Us
We’re Not Typical REALTORS. We’re Also Architects + Interior Designers.
Natalie Martinez, along with her skilled team, specializes in bringing together Realtors with outstanding expertise in design, construction, and architecture. Their confidence in assisting clients shines through as they navigate the processes of buying, selling, and renovating properties in Atlanta and Decatur.
Natalie Martinez is an architect and REALTOR offering Atlanta clients innovative and creative design and real estate services under one roof.
History
After the 2008 market crash when investors bought houses and needed to flip or build renovations, Natalie started designing home renovations in the East Atlanta Village, Ormewood Park, and Oakhurst neighborhoods.
Residential Architecture
Natalie has designed everything from kitchen renovations to whole house renovations for clients ranging from investors to retirees. Fast forward and Natalie has designed countless renovations and new construction homes throughout Atlanta and Decatur.
Her design interest in preserving old homes and and bringing them back to life with fresh renovations is a direct result of working with clients in Atlanta’s neighborhoods who wanted to renovate and keep part of the original home.

Notable Projects
One of Natalie’s notable projects in Decatur is a modern 2nd story addition to an existing early ranch home. With her strategic design thinking, she preserved the basement, exterior envelope, and first floor footprint. She painted the original exterior brick white to call attention to the original home structure and playfully added color to the modern addition.
Residential Real Estate
Natalie works with Buyers, Sellers, Architects, and Developers looking to purchase or sell in Atlanta and Decatur.
With intimate knowledge of the local real estate market, design trends, old and new home construction, she is an invaluable resource for her clients and community.
Natalie has been awarded “Top Producer” by the Atlanta Realtor Association since 2018 for her outstanding sales achievement.
Historic Preservation
Natalie’s design and real estate portfolio includes many homes from Atlanta’s early housing stock — American Small Homes, Craftsman bungalows, Tudors, and of course, the Ranch style.
She has helped many clients with obtaining a Certificate of Appropriateness in order to renovate in their historic district.
She received Historic Preservation Leadership training through the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation.
Loves Houses but Not Homebound
In December 2016, Natalie went to Guatemala to build with Habitat for Humanity’s Global Village Program. Watch the video to hear her reflections on the trip.
During COVID, the Habitat for Humanity International’s Global Village Program paused. If you would like to build with Natalie in another country through a Global Village international volunteer trip, send a message through the contact form.
When she’s not working with design and real estate clients, you’ll find Natalie walking on the Beltline, strolling through neighborhoods, drawing and writing in her sketchbook, or planning a trip to a new city.

Sharing Stories That Matter
It’s important to Natalie to stay grounded and keep a broader perspective on the impact of housing access and affordability locally and abroad. Every single day housing inequity impacts the lives of women and children all over the world.
“Housing changes lives, especially for women and children.”

Buyers Love our Design Ideas, Resources, and Maintenance Tips
Our design and construction background helps our clients in a number of ways. We all own a house and know what it takes to maintain one. We know what you can do to renovate the kitchen and make it more functional. We can advise you on which projects to tackle first and the approximate increase in your home’s value. We can refer you to any number of contractors from painters to a sewer scope consultant. Don’t even know what a sewer scope is and why it’s important? We do and we’re happy to advise you all along the way. There is no stupid question and you can ask us anything throughout the process.
Many of our buyer clients end up hiring us to design renovations to their homes.
Giving Back
We are a big fan of Habitat for Humanity International, an Atlanta-based non-profit whose mission is to help people have a decent place to live. We’ve partnered with Habitat through global home building trips, sourcing tile and stone from our local ReStore, as well as donating a portion of our home sale proceeds to the Global Impact Fund.
