Who We Are

Welcome to Miriam’s Apartment. In 2007 I made my third trip to Rio de Janeiro. I had been there before and loved it. Well, this trip I met Miriam Ramalho Reis and that changed every thing. Smitten with her at first  we began a long distance correspondence for a year until I made it back to see her again. Miriam introduced me to the REAL Rio de Janeiro that most tourists don’t get to see. The culture, the language, the food. Everything became this wonderful learning experience. In addition to that I was spending more and more time with Miriam knowing that I was falling fast. Was it all of the new experiences? Miriam and her endless charms? I decided to spend a lot more time figuring it out. But how to pay for it?

 “Want an apartment? We can help you find it. Want to remodel it? We can get it done for you from design, construction, decorating and furnishing.”

Thru people that I met in Rio I became aware of the fantastic real estate investment opportunity in Rio de Janeiro. With the announcement of the worlds largest oil discovery in 35 years, the 2014 World Cup, and the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the place just went crazy. It makes me think of the Gold Rush of the 1800’s in the United States. So we decided to try and make a business out of real estate in Rio de Janeiro. From that decision, and subsequent study of the market there, it became more and more obvious as to the great investment potential in Rio de Janeiro. Not only that, it was a fun job.
