Mauricio Jaimes

I’m an 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 a 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 loans. When I ended my studies 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 public works projects.


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's 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 live abroad and have bought a property mostly for relatives and so on. Some of them are married to a foreigner and we have helped them with their major concern: How to buy safely in Colombia as a foreign investor.
