How did you get your start 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 this field.
I quickly learned about pre-development sales and focused my career in selling projects throughout South Florida. In 2008, I established OneWorld Properties during the housing market crash. Since then, I have facilitated over $5 billion worth of luxury real estate transactions, attracting clients from across the U.S. and 60+ other countries.
