Summary:
Background:
Trevor started off his career in real estate as a licensed CA Real Estate Salesperson. As he worked diligently to become a Real Estate Broker, Trevor mainly serviced home-buyers and investors in the greater Sacramento residential markets. As a licensed Broker, Trevor now offers full service representation for buyers and sellers in both the residential markets and the commercial arena.
While in his late teens and early 20's, Trevor attended college at The University of California, Davis where he pursued his degree in Engineering. During his time at UC Davis, Trevor studied extensively in the fields of electro-magnetics, analog / digital electronics, material science, and structural engineering. Later, after acquiring his B.S.E.E., Trevor went to work for L-3 Narda-West, a worldwide leader in the development and delivery of state-of-the-art RF payload equipment for the Satellite Space and Launch Vehicle markets.
At his division of L-3 Communications, Trevor started work as a design engineer. During his time as an engineer, Trevor developed several telecommunication components both for geosynchronous space satellites and for missile targets. Customers including NASA, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Space Systems Loral, Orbital Sciences, Northrop Grumman, and the Department of Defense all have benefited from the design and manufacturing techniques practiced by Trevor during his career as an engineer. By the end of his career at L-3 Communications, Trevor had been promoted to Engineering Manager of New Product Introduction where he managed a team of electrical, computer, and process engineers in an effort to manufacture high reliability space products.
Trevor attended law school at Lincoln Law School of Sacramento with the intent to return to real estate development and sales, as well as to enter the field of intellectual property rights. However, during law school, Trevor developed a passion for the law and how it shaped every aspect of the world he and others lived in. As a result, Trevor ultimately decided not to limit his practice to such focused areas of the law. After working as an Associate for Murphy Campbell Alliston & Quinn, and learning from one of the most respected real estate litigation attorneys in California, Trevor set out to open his own practice focused on real estate services as well as comprehensive legal representation. After 9 years of running his own firm, Trevor joined TRAINOR FAIRBROOK, Sacramento’s most awarded real estate law firms, where he co-lead the firm’s leasing and property management division. Trevor’s practice at TRAINOR FAIRBROOK included primarily representation of landlords in planning, negotiating and drafting a wide range of office, retail, industrial, cell tower, and ground leases, as well as related commercial lease documents such as lease assignments and amendments. In December 2023, TRAINOR FAIRBROOK was acquired by Buchalter, an AM 200 law firm, at which point Trevor decided to reopen TWM Legal where he could continue providing exceptional legal services to his clients customized to fit their needs.
As your Attorney or Broker, you will feel comforted knowing that Trevor possesses special knowledge and skill resulting from his dynamic experience as an Engineer, Real Estate Broker, and Entrepreneur. His practice focuses heavily on real estate transactions (retail, office, development, and industrial) and disputes, intellectual property, business litigation, and general liability claims and defenses.

I have bought and sold homes a dozen times in my life, and I never paid much attention to my "choice" of Realtor. Mostly luck of the draw, and I really didn't think it could make much difference. Well, my experience with Trevor Martin forever changed my thinking on that. Most real estate transacti...
