How did you get started in real estate?
My first job was in private wealth banking. While working there, I saw an opportunity to enter the real estate industry and recognized the potential for growth in the field.
I quickly learned about pre-development sales and focused my career on project sales throughout South Florida. I founded OneWorld Properties in 2008 during the housing market crash. Since then, I have brokered over $5 billion worth of luxury real estate transactions, attracting clients from the United States and over 60 other countries.
