About Marta

Marta Walsh

Lyon's Elite · Top 1% · Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty

A Wall Street trader's eye for value, brought to Arizona's most competitive luxury markets.

The Background

An unusual path to luxury real estate.

Marta Walsh's path to real estate is unusual and exacting. A graduate of the NYU Stern School of Business in Finance & Marketing, she began her career as a market maker on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange — trading and managing a portfolio of forty stocks, learning how pricing really works under pressure.

She later founded TalkingMakeup, one of the most influential fashion and beauty digital publications in the United States — an experience that sharpened the marketing instincts she now brings to every property she represents.

For fifteen years, Marta has represented premier properties across Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, and Phoenix as part of Lyon's Elite — the top 1% of agents at Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty — leading The Marta Walsh Group. She lives in Paradise Valley and knows its hillside lots, gated enclaves, and architectural homes the way only fifteen years of focused practice can teach.

That background is rare in real estate — and it shows. Marta reads a market differently than most agents: pricing, negotiation, and timing handled with the discipline of someone who traded under pressure.

The result is a listing priced right, marketed hard, and sold — not one that sits. It's the difference behind two words her clients keep coming back to: Walsh, Better.

The Affiliation

A platform built for Arizona luxury.

Marta chose Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty deliberately — a name synonymous with luxury in the very market she set out to lead, backed by a brand whose history dates to 1744.

In the North Scottsdale $1M+ segment, Russ Lyon Sotheby's has led recent market-share figures by a wide margin. For a seller, that reach means more qualified buyers and more exposure from day one.
