Martinez Myers – Chairman of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals.

Frances Martinez Myers, a senior executive at Fox & Roach/Trident LP in Philadelphia, takes over the role of Chairman of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP) at the group’s annual legislative conference in Washington, D.C. A native New Yorker of Puerto Rican descent, Martinez Myers succeeds co-founder and outgoing Chairman Gary Acosta as head of the five-year-old, 14,000-member nonprofit trade association for Hispanic real estate professionals.

“Frances Martinez Myers brings the savvy of a real estate practitioner and the leadership of a corporate executive to her role as head of NAHREP,” said outgoing chairman Gary Acosta. “She is the perfect person to lead the organization to greater prominence at a time when Hispanic consumers are becoming a super force in the marketplace.”

Martinez Myers will handle her responsibilities at NAHREP in addition to her day-to-day role as senior vice president at Fox & Roach/Trident LP, the holding company of six home services, financial and relocation related services. In her capacity, she oversees the business development efforts of Prudential Fox & Roach Realtors, the fifth largest real estate company in the nation, which includes responsibility for relocation, REO, and affinity marketing services. She also oversees Employee Transfer Corporation, a national corporate relocation company.

“Homeownership is the hallmark of the American Dream; it creates financial wealth and that can make dreams come true. NAHREP is poised through its mission to help advance the economic wealth of Hispanics in this country,” said Martinez Myers. “My involvement with NAHREP personally fulfills a long established goal of mine to never forget where I came from and give back in a way that is meaningful.”

She began her real estate career in 1975 at the Boyer Agency in Southeastern Connecticut. Later she joined PHH/Cendant, where she worked in broker network management and national and international business development.
