I do not come from the real estate world although I have a family background on the field. I received my Engineering degree as Naval Architect and Marine Engineer from the Polytechnic School of Madrid in 1992. Wanting to explore the world and looking for the best, I obtained two additional Master degrees in Naval Architecture and Material Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This engineering baggage gave me the opportunity to start on the Offshore Construction participating in huge projects. In just two years I was nominated as Engineering Manager of the Offshore Division of the Spanish building company Dragados. The engineering of two of the key projects for this company was conducted by me: the Snorre B Platform (a 23.000 tons semisub gas platform) and the Oresund Link (the connection between Denmark and Sweden via a tunnel, an artificial island and a bridge).
Experience
After leaving the offshore business, I came back to Marbella, my birth town, to manage the family business. A real estate group of companies dedicated to the development of land in the area of Benahavis. The companies were quite successful in the early years of the last decade.
In 2008, I was approached by the brokers of RE/MAX Eralia, Leonardo Cromsted and Hector Tramullas, to join the company. The proven systems and the different working philosophy of the company that sells more real estate in the world attracted my attention. RE/MAX is about proceedings, marketing, customer service and formation. Since then, the partnership is working smoothly. I have been nominated as the best associate agent of RE/MAX Eralia in 2010, have been the third in the Spanish ranking (among 500 associate agents) and have been even invited as key speaker in the RE/MAX European (+10.000 associate agents) Convention. That is in just two years! A lot of things to come!
