About Banded Iron Ventures
Banded Iron Ventures is owned and operated by John and Celeste Martin. We specialize in buying and selling residential and commercial properties with a focus on smart investments, problem solving, and community growth.
Our Team
Our Vision
We aim to provide fast, thoughtful, and professional service to you. Whether you're selling a property, or unsure what your options are, we're a phone call away from having a discussion about your situation and possible directions forward.
Even if you're anxious to sell, we may not be interested in buying your property for various reasons. We'll provide an honest assessment of a possible deal on a case-by-case basis. If a deal is not mutually beneficial to you and Banded Iron Ventures, it's not truly a deal; it's merely an idea.
Banded Iron
Over a billion years ago, layers of iron and sediment, deposited over time, formed the colorful geological treasure known as banded iron—an exceptionally tough, dense, and erosion-resistant sedimentary formation, critical for its abundance of iron ore.
Today, the team at Banded Iron Ventures applies the same qualities of strength in our relationships with valued clients and partners, as we provide a rock-solid experience of integrity, honesty, and professionalism.


John's first investment property was this duplex in Texas. He purchased this in 1983, the start of his real estate investment journey, and never looked back. He held it for seven years as a long term rental.
A Little History
Today
One of our Team's recent investments is a townhouse property for a long term rental.
Recent Project
We not only buy and sell real estate. Through strategic partnerships, we find solutions to complex problems. This is one of four commercial buildings equipped with solar panels to help keep this business owner's energy cost manageable.
Upcoming Plans
Buying and selling single family homes is a constant. We work with other investors, including contractors who fix and flip, sourcing properties for them, and we also buy with the purpose of holding for long term rentals.
Acquiring land, multifamily properties, commercial properties, and RV parks, are primary focuses as well.
We're also looking to acquire mixed-use properties that blend retail and living spaces, aiming to revitalize neighborhoods.
