How did you get started in Real Estate?

I have always been interested in business and entrepreneurship. After graduation with my MBA from FIU, I founded a marketing company with two partners. One of my business partners was a long time real estate investor. He has introduced me to the real estate investing world. I have attended multiple local and national real estate investing seminars, learned from the market leaders and fall in love with the luxury real estate. Miami is happened to be an ideal place to sell luxury homes. I have joined the best real estate team Sotheby's International Realty and fully emerged into real estate business. I love what I do, enjoy working with the best team and helping my clients to achieve their real estate goals.

What sets you apart from the competition?

Strong Marketing skills, ability to listen to my clients' needs, provide true numbers and in-depth analysis of current market conditions whether clients are looking to sell or buy their property. I am very transparent and honest.  And fully dedicated to my business and people I am working with. The goal is to achieve a Win-Win situation for all parties involved in a deal. 

What advice would you give someone looking to get started in Real Estate?

Learn daily, be very consistent and persistent, know your market, be an expert in a few selected areas, but knowledgeable in the real estate market as a whole. Join one of the leading real estate team in your city and learn only from the best. 

Do you have a special listing or property currently on the market that you absolutely adore? 

I have a stunning listing in the new development at the private island Prive. It's a very unique location in the heart of Aventura Williams Island that offers breathtaking views, luxury service and amenities along with a very exclusive and private lifestyle.

Priced well, best value in the building. http://www.prive804s.com
