Not much later, she was appointed Sales Manager of the ICW in Seville, making full use of her language and communication skills to organise international group visits to the Expo ’92 World Fair.
In 1990, Angela founded the FM Consulting Realty Group together with her husband Fausto Martínez, a diversified property company that has since grown to become one of the leaders in its field on the Costa del Sol.
As Partner and Director, Angela coordinates third-party developers’ projects, oversees operations and hotel management, as well as playing a central role in marketing and sales projects. She has been a managing partner of FM Your Vacation Resort and Caicuzi Real Estate, an agency with exclusive brokerage status, since 2013.
