Pangea Select, a private real estate investment company that acquires value-add multifamily properties, was established in 1999 by Matthew Martinez. 

The company's transaction expertise covers a broad range of disciplines including multifamily, retail, property management, consulting, construction and development. In a principal capacity, Matthew has been successful in a number of real estate ventures.

He is currently the adviser to several private equity groups that have raised more than $1 billion dollars to acquire distressed multifamily assets; he has bought and sold numerous apartment projects; is a co-founder of Florida Commercial Real Estate (a retail focused real estate company); and has skillfully raised private capital to acquire income-producing real estate assets throughout the United States.

In 2002, he founded the Landlord and Investor Group (LIG), the largest real estate investment association in New England. With more than 2,000 members, LIG helps investors excel in the real estate industry by educating and sharing best practices and time-proven strategies. He is the best selling author of two investing books: 2 Years to a Million in Real Estate and Investing in Apartment Buildings. He is a spokesperson for Intuit's rental property management software and an AOL Money Coach.

Matthew also serves on the housing committee for Travelers Aid Family Services, a Boston-based non-profit founded in 1920 to assist the poor and disadvantaged with housing. Pangea Select has never wavered in its commitment to supporting communities. We have been involved in many charitable causes and civic organizations over the years.

The Matthew A. Martinez Real Estate Fund awards scholarships to students studying real estate at the undergraduate and graduate levels. This scholarship was established to help students with the cost of their tuition so they may pursue this field of study.
