Rich Holman - Owner/Broker - First American Realty Medellin


Rich purchased a Medellin apartment in October 2007 and then moved there full time in November 2007. He also maintains a home in Naples, FL. His background comes from the real estate, mortgage, securities, publishing, Internet and investment banking industries. His undergraduate degree is in Chemical Engineering Management from the University of Texas and he holds an MBA from the Ohio State University. He has lived in Florida for 14 years, Atlanta, GA for 11 years, Los Angeles for 8 years and is originally from Texas where he resided for 12 years.

Rich began traveling to Medellin Colombia in 2006 and quickly realized that Medellin may be one of the world’s best kept secrets primarily due to the misperceptions caused by the international press.  Not only is Medellin one of the best places to live in the world but Rich believes it may also be one of the most undervalued real estate markets.  And prices should rise as the world discovers what a true paradise Medellin really is. He notes that in 2007 there has been more positive U.S. news regarding Colombia than in the previous 40 years combined.

Rich understands that American buyers of Medellin property need an honest and trusted resource.  They want honesty, integrity, experience, credibility and good value. Rich and his team are dedicated to providing that type of realestate services.

The company’s goals are to answer questions, minimize risks, make the process easy, provide value and to share the dream.  Whether your goal is to retire early, to enjoy a better social life, to have a great second home or to make a good real estate investment First American Realty Medellin is ready to assist you!

First American Realty Medellin Support Team
First American Realty Medellin - General Manager

John lived for 14 years in the US before returning to Colombia.  In Medellin he attended Maria Cano University where he majored in international business. He is bi lingual and a very important part of the First American Realty team.  As a paisa he provides invaluable assistance in local laws and customs.  John also has been instrumental in forging valuable relationships with local realtors, developers and important business contacts.
Another area that John helps immensely is in property management and in obtaining local rental listings. He has saved First American Realty countless hours of valuable time on such things as establishing Internet connections, obtaining cedulas, dealing with local banks, paying bills and other items. 
Finally, he provides great non traditional marketing ideas for the local market that are not immediately intuitive to the American business acumen. John has set the standard for the hiring of additional paisas with his dedication, dependability and work ethic
David spent 16 years in the United States in New York City and Miami before returning to Medellin to join his brother John in the property management department. David assists with apartment check-in and check-out, inventory control, rent collections, owner bill payments, photo shoots and assistance with new sales listings. He has been an invaluable addition to the First American Realty team.

Joe Greco FARM Commercial Partner
Joseph Greco Profile

Joe Greco is from the Seattle WA area and brings extensive experience in commercial real estate investments. His background is varied including countless home and condo renovations, apartment building ownership, condominium developments and property conversions.  He also has experience with the development of retirement and manufactured home communities.
 
Previous to his career in real estate, Joe was part owner and founding member of several high tech startup companies.  He has a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of San Diego.

With a background as an investor (not as a realtor or salesman), he is always evaluating purchase and investment options from the perspective of getting the best value and creating equity after purchase.  He believes that Medellin has changed dramatically in the last fifteen years, and can easily be argued as the most beautiful, modern, progressive, clean and organized city in all of Latin America.  He believes that the dramatic difference between the world’s perception and the actual reality allows for exceptional investment opportunities.

Jeremy
Jeremy is from Denver, CO where he obtained his Bachelor degree in Environmental Design -Architecture with emphasis on green oriented design & building sustainability.  He has a well-rounded and advantageous mix of background experiences to draw from ranging from years of hands on construction work, stage prop design and creation, to designing and acting as construction manager on medium size multi use projects. 

After spending many years traveling and sailing in the South Pacific and South East Asia, Jeremy arrived to Medellin in May of 2009 where he was captivated by the lively and friendly spirit of the local Paisas.  Ever since his focus has been on improving his Spanish and developing relationships and vetting local contractors for his work at First American.

In El Poblado he oversaw an office renovation and then managed the complete redesign of a three story mixed use apartment building (Poblado Suites) which was completed ahead of schedule.  Jeremy is currently working on an 11 unit commercial/residential project that entails a concept change and an extensive redesign, a ten home sustainable active retirement community development in the hills above Copacabana and a penthouse remodel for the Medellin Capital Group.  He just assumed the position as head of First American Realty Medellin (FARM) Remodeling Services which focuses on providing trusted cost effective remodeling/rehab services for FARM clients.
