Rich Holman - Owner/Broker - First American Realty Medellin
Rich purchased his 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 worlds best kept secrets primarily due to the mis-perceptions 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.
The company’s goal is to be the trusted on the ground resource for foreign real estate buyers, renters and investors. Whether your goal is to retire early, to enjoy a better social life, to have a 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. As First Americans first employee John also has been instrumental in forging valuable relationships with local realtors, developers and making important business contacts.
John has assumed the role of property manager for more than 65 property listings. This important service is very important as almost 50% of First American buyers want a reliable property manager to manage their properties when they are not in Medellin. John has raised the barrier for employment through his dedication, dependability, honesty 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 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.
