About The Cedar Springs Group

Steven Martin brings nearly 30 years of tax and financial experience into private money and real estate lending. As a CPA, Steven has been the head of an ultra-high-net-worth tax group as well as help leadership positions in corporate tax departments.   He has spent decades analyzing risk, cash flow, and complex financial structures for sophisticated investors. That background now informs his work as a private money broker—where capital protection, disciplined underwriting, and clear deal structures come first.  His role is to ensure that opportunities make financial sense, align incentives, and are evaluated with the same rigor expected in high-level financial and tax planning. 

Amy Mata-Martin brings a hospitality-rooted approach to private money brokerage, shaped by a career built around relationships, discretion, and exceptional execution. With over 20 years of experience in luxury hospitality, hotel food and beverage leadership, and wine and spirits sales, Amy knows that success hinges on trust, communication, and attention to detail. This strong foundation translates seamlessly into private money brokerage, where she focuses on relationship management and coordination, ensuring each engagement feels curated, professional, and thoughtfully managed.
