I have spent my entire life in Medellín—and my entire real estate career helping international buyers navigate its real estate market with clear guidance, local context, and trusted buyer-side representation.
David Puerta’s career as a Medellín realtor began in 2019, when he became part of the founding team of an internationally backed real estate firm in Medellín. Entering the industry without previous experience turned out to be less of a disadvantage than it seemed — it meant approaching everything with fresh eyes, genuine curiosity, and no assumptions about how things “had to be done.”
What that environment offered was rare: direct exposure to how real estate works in markets like the United States — where structure, professionalism, and the clear separation between representing a buyer and representing a seller are simply the standard. That foundation shaped everything David would go on to build.
But alongside that professional education came something harder to teach. Over those years, a pattern became impossible to ignore: international buyers were arriving in Medellín with real intent — and finding themselves in a process that felt fragmented, unfamiliar, and nothing like what they were used to back home. They weren’t just looking for a property. They were looking for someone they could trust.
