Businesses

At the beginning he had to use computer programmer and photographer licenses to take pictures of the properties for sale and listing them in the real estate portal because real estate agents weren't authorized in the island at that moment.
Afterwards, in September 2013, the licenses to exercise as real estate agents were authorized and from that moment on this business became one of the first real estate agencies in Cuba.
In addition to be involved in the Cuban real estate market he has offered advising to other businessmen interested in investing in Cuba.
