FINDING A PLACE IN SOUTH FLORIDA
When we immigrated to Miami from in 1995, I wanted to find a place for my family in the wake of a devastating recession back home. What I found in the process however, was a place I couldn’t imagine ever wanting to leave and a career that allows me help others do the same.
STARTING FROM SCRATCH
I grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and worked for the family’s company after graduating from school. A recession in the mid-90’s crippled the business, however, and left me almost broke. With a wife and two children depending on me, I knew we would have to move someplace where I would have a better opportunity to support my family and provide a future for my children.
THE NATURAL CHOICE
As we thought about where to go, Miami seemed like a natural choice. My wife’s family had immigrated to South Florida a year earlier, and I had several contacts who I thought could help me get a good job and a decent home. Yet even with these supports, the transition to life in the U.S. wasn’t easy. Finding a place for my family proved to be much more difficult than I expected, and with no professional to stand by my side and help me through the process, I often felt like I was being hung out to dry.
FINDING A CAREER IN REAL ESTATE
Although things eventually worked out, it was the difficulties we experienced along the way that led me to pursue a career as a real estate professional. I wanted to help other people find their place, in the same way that I wished I’d had someone when I first came to Miami.
A LEADER IN THE INDUSTRY
For almost ten years now, I have strived to do exactly that. First as an agent and then as a broker, I have worked constantly to help people find their place, and I've had phenomenal success in doing so. Now, as the owner of my own independent real estate firm, Terrabella Realty, I encourage all of our associates to follow these three basic principles:
1) Really listen to your client’s needs.
2) Take the time to educate them on local market conditions.
3) Lead them through every step of the transaction.
When all these principles are respected, it's been my experience that our clients find their needs fulfilled – and keep coming back to us for all their real estate transactions.
