Hi, I'm Valen!

I'm here to help you throughout your home buying and selling process. Trying to do it all on your own can be burdensome. I'll find you homes within your price range, help you find buyers, assist you with paperwork, and more.


My passion is helping people find their homes in Eddy County. I am a Licensed Real Estate Qualifying Broker at Empire Real Estate Group and am the listing agent for Clayton Homes Sunwest Subdivision. 

I served as vice president of the Carlsbad Board of Realtors in 2021, president in 2022 and 2023, and now as a director of the New Mexico Association of Realtors in 2024 and 2025. 

As a Carlsbad native and a 9-year real estate Agent, I recognize and appreciate the trust my clients place in her and strive every day to exceed their expectations. I was born and raised in Carlsbad NM and am very knowledgeable about her hometown. She currently serves as an Ambassador to Carlsbad’s Chamber of Commerce. I  continue with volunteer work at several organizations including Packs for Hunger. In 2022, I was recognized as Carlsbad’s 40 dynamic young leaders for both their occupational and community leadership! My husband and I contribute to many organizations yearly, including amNRA, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Mule Deer Foundation, FFA, Harding Webster, Boys and Girls Club, public schools, and several children’s sports organizations. I love to spend time with my two children. Valen’s husband Victor is a retired Captain from the Eddy County Sheriff’s office.

When I have spare time, she loves to bow hunt, try Pinterest projects, and do crafting. 

I strive every day to make a difference in the community I love so much, and joined the Chamber Ambassador Group to do just that! 

My passion for real estate is manifested through my excellent communication skills and her warm and friendly approach. Remember  "BUILD, BUY or SELL, Valen is your GAL!!"

Jeff- Carlsbad

Valen Martinez of Empire Real Estate Group is a go-getter with extensive knowledge of the area. This was especially true for our non-traditional type of sale, as we had three owners in three different states. She stayed on top of everything that needed to be done, giving us her complete attention and carefully listening to our goals. Valen was an excellent advocate for understanding the regional business climate, whether to buy or sell, and she sold our house in a highly competitive housing market. Valen's dependability and integrity made working with her a pleasure. Given our recent experience selling homes in the DFW metroplex, her business skills impressed my husband and me. Despite the fact that we were all spread out throughout the country, she was able to balance and surpass all of our expectations. Valen kept us updated throughout the process and was always available by phone or email. You should not buy or sell until you have Valen Martinez as your agent and broker representing you.
