Hi!
My name is Paul Juan, a third generation Cartagenero,
Lebanese descendant, married to my beautiful Adelayda. We have two
great kids: Ilan and Alejandra.
I took my Computer Engineering degree from LSU
(Lousiana State University) in '90. English speaking people
who meet me for the first time say: "you LOOK, and TALK,
like a Gringo", and after they get to know me, they say:
"you even THINK like a Gringo". That's a nice
compliment, but don't get me wrong. I'm a proud Colombian who truly
loves this great city on the Caribbean. My Real Estate Home Pages
will show you why!

FIRST,
LET ME SAY: "THANKS!" I am immensely grateful
to all who have shown me their trust, and continue to do business
with me. This picture of my family was taken 9/07 in our brand
new Castillogrande apartment, purchased mostly from commissions
earned in 05/06. It is the best and most lasting gift I could
ever have given my family. Thanks to all both Buyer's and Seller's.
Initially, my partner James Bone and I worked hard at marketing
The Guide To Cartagena www.cartagenainfo.net.
We soon discovered a need for establishing a good Real Estate
Portal based on our "Guide" policy of FULL DISCLOSURE,
where we don't hold any information back. The results is that
realty Buyer's AND Seller's tell us that they feel very comfortable
when doing business with us.
James, Rosa and I, started developing www.cartagenainmuebles.com
and www.cartagenarealty.com.
Shortly after the site was up I started marking sales. Within
three months we closed a large and important international deal.
A Cartagenero friend who teaches at NYU, gave me the current Home
Page design. Rosa developed the powerful data base, and maintains
the website, often with 3-5 daily updates! James, with 28 years
as a licensed Florida Broker, is always thinking of business strategies
and improvements. And as the principal owner, I am the field man
who visits the properties and makes the deals.
I love my job where I meet interesting people from all over the
world. I am responsible for my time and the promises I make. I've
learned photography and really enjoy taking the photos that appear
on the website. In Cartagena real estate sales, I've found something
that I really enjoy-Thanks!
I'm
a low key, just-the-facts, salesman. I won't call, Email or push
you into a deal. I regard my mission as one of presenting reasonable
options to both Buyer's and Seller's, leading to a comfortably
arrival of their decision to Buy or Sell.
If you're a Buyer, please don't ask me to choose for you- between
Properties A or B. The best approach is to List the Pro's and
Con’s of each Property. From the List, your decision will
become obvious. I try to make Buying and Selling: "A Fun,
and Ultimately Profitable Experience-for BOTH Buyer’s and
Seller's".
If you value the complete and up-to-date information that I offer,
please use my services. I will do all that is humanly possible
to assure a safe and legally clean transaction. The 3% commission
is normally paid for by the seller, at the time of closing. Other
commission arrangements, with full agreement by both Buyer and
Seller, can be arranged. When I receive the full 3% commission,
I will also include (at no additional cost) the "legwork"
involved in the Closing of the property as part of my Full Service.
In September of 07 we opened our street front Sales Office here
in Laguito. It’s staffed by bi-lingual, Ali (Alejandra)
who will be happy to meet with you and guide you around our websites-the
most complete data source about Cartagena Realty.
Our Administrative Office, where Rosa and James hang their "hats",
remains a few blocks up the street at Edificio Playa Mar.

PERSONAL NOTE: In addition to being with family and friends,
I enjoy windsurfing with fellow club members, (click
here for a few photos of me getting beat up in 25-35 knot winds),
jogging on the beach, singing in bars or karaoke with my wife and
friends, plus spreading "the word" about beautiful Cartagena
on the Caribbean. I'm also the co-owner, Sales Manager/Advisor of
our cities Internet Portal-The Guide To Cartagena, Colombia. It's
in Spanish and English. Have questions about Cartagena? Check it
