Ricardo's appreciation for real estate began at an early age in Brazil, where his father has worked as a real estate broker for over forty years.

Before becoming a licensed real estate broker, Ricardo worked 23 years in commodities trading at top American companies including Intercontinental Exchange Group (ICE-NYSE), Chicago Mercantile Group (CME), Merrill Lynch, and Cargill.

Ricardo provides each of his clients with in-depth knowledge of the current market and inventory. The skills he acquired while working in the financial markets in New York and Chicago have proven extremely helpful in negotiating the best possible deals for his clients. Also, his past experience translates into attentive service and clear communication.

He holds a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and did a masters program in Business Administration in Rio de Janeiro. A native speaker of Portuguese, he also speaks Spanish.

Ricardo specializes in residential condo sales and rentals in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, with a strong focus on Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, Sunny Isles Beach, Aventura and Downtown Miami.
