More than a real estate agent, I'm a market matchmaker

Internet has become an anonymous source. So, meet who can assist you as your real estate agent in Colombia.

My name is Mauricio Jaimes, I’m 35 years old. I was born in Bucaramanga, Santander Province. I’m married and I have three beautiful kids, which are the engine of my life.

I’m Industrial Engineer. I got my degree from the Javeriana University in Bogotá in 1994, where I lived for 6 years. During this time I started with my first tries as property investor looking for the right apartment where I would spend my college years.

My first working experience was at Las Villas Aval Group, a banking firm specialized in housing lends. When I ended my career I returned to my hometown to work in the family business. My father has been in the real estate and construction business for more than 40 years, so I’ve had the luck to have a great mentor in the field. The company is focused in developing middle class housing projects, real estate, property investment and civil works.

I also partnered as a real estate agent with one of the most important firms in Colombia - US Brokers Colombia - specialized in offering International real estate investment in the US and Panama to Colombian investors.

Being married and with two little babies, in 2000 I went to France to get a Master degree in International Business from the Grenoble Graduate School of Business in Grenoble, France. It was a wonderful one year and a half experience, not only for me but for all the family mainly for the kids.

The best of all were the friendships I made with people of different parts of the world and the way it made me have a more open mind with different cultures.

I also know what it feels like to be a foreign person trying to find an apartment for a family, with low french speaking, and having an appendixe removal surgery three days after the arrival!!.

I’ve always been fascinated with the internet as a powerful business tool so I did my degree's dissertation project about e-procurement.

During my experience in the real estate and construction business, I’ve been in contact with a lot of Colombian people who lives abroad and have bought a property mostly to relatives and so on. Some of them are married with foreigner and we have helped them with their major concern: How to buy safety in Colombia as a foreign investor.

I noticed that there is a few, not to say any online information in English about the buying process in Colombia. Even If for local people requires professional assistance, for people abroad who is the first time to come to the country, it gets more difficult because they don't know the language, laws, local customs, neighbourhoods, etc.

That’s why I created this website, to provide non-Spanish speakers the most accurate information about How to buy real estate in Colombia and help them throughout the process by offering my consultant services as a professional real estate agent.

At this moment ( December 2007 ) after six month on the net, my site ranks 12 in Google for the keyword "Colombia real estate", among almost 2 million sites. We are becoming a matchmaker for buyers who looks for information about Colombian market and sellers who wants to offer their properties in Colombia.

Your website (and valuable feedback to my queries) have given me the opportunity to make an informed decision regarding buying/renting in Colombia. Thank you for all the hard work putting together the information. We now can make our way through the legalities and benefits of owning or renting in Colombia. Greg - Canada


Hello Mauricio, .thank you so much for this great homepage so give so many useful information and I really appreciate it. I am from Germany and I would like to buy an apartment in Medellin. My wife is from there. Thank you again, Manuel - Germany


I am happy to have found a site as informative as this one. You definitely understand the need to have information handy. There are so many sites that do not fully explain, short on guidance and offer no real assistance. Now I feel I will be armed with the information I need to make a sound decision. My wife is from Cali and I really enjoy it each time I visit. We have been discussing buying property as investment for retirement. As I have printed the material, I will spend time reading it. Thanks again,
Rick - U.S.
