Where should you buy?

It is important to know where to buy, the area and its benefits. However, to select the right location it is necessary to know the budget we have. As a Real Estate Agent, I can assist you in every step of the way during the selection of the area.

As a first point to take into account, it is essential to know what you want the property for: To live, to rent or as an investment?

PROPERTIES FOR INVESTMENT and PROPERTIES FOR RENT
If your thing is to invest and you want a property that will pay off, then we suggest you be flexible with the selection of the location. Your main motivation should be focused on the protection of your capital and how to make it grow. Choose your target market, that is, to whom you want to rent the property: students, new families, established families, singles, etc. Then select areas where such market is located. It is also important to take into account the statistics of changes in property prices in the area, to know if you could generate profits once you decide to sell it in the future.

MAIN HOME OR VACATION PROPERTY
It is important that the safety and comfort of your family be the main goal in this decision, so you should take into account the following variables before selecting the area where to buy:

  • Schools and educational areas if you have children under 21 years of age. The best school is the one closest to your home.
  • Distance from your work area.
  • Will I have pets?
  • Will I have an office at home?
  • Commercial areas.
  • Recreation areas.
  • What do I want near my property?
  • How much space do I want? (Size of the property)
  • Would I be interested in a property that needs to be repaired?
  • How important is it for me that the property gains in value over time?.

Born in Caracas, Venezuela, I embarked on a journey that has taken me across continents and through diverse career paths. My early years in Miami from 1978 to 1980 ignited my passion for business, which I later pursued academically. After returning to Venezuela, I graduated from Mass Bay College with double minors in Marketing Sales and Management, and I earned a B.S. in International Business Administration from Babson College in 1995.

My professional journey began in the banking sector in 1995, with roles at the Bank of Boston till 1998 and later in Caracas, where I founded my own company, Adevic, C.A., specializing in marketing and selling levitation systems. My experience in the banking industry continued as I took on significant roles, including in the Oil department at Banco Venezolano de Credito and as VP of International at Banco Industrial de Venezuela.

In 2014, I returned to Miami, where I transitioned into the real estate business. I obtained my licenses as a Real Estate Broker and Mortgage Loan Officer, combining my extensive business background with my passion for helping others achieve their real estate goals until today.
