About
Judgment is paid for in mistakes. I already paid for mine.
I'm Sebastián Pérez, a real estate investment advisor in Santo Domingo's Distrito Nacional. I came to brokerage by an unusual road: I operated properties first. That changes everything that follows.
From operations to judgment
Before advising, I operated.
My entry into this industry wasn't a brokerage license: it was a booking calendar, guests arriving at 2 a.m., maintenance budgets, and monthly statements that didn't always bring good news. I managed properties and operated Airbnbs — fully accountable for making the numbers work.
Along the way I made mistakes that are now my best working tools. I overestimated occupancy. I underestimated expenses. I trusted projections the market never validated. I lost deals I wanted to win. Each of those hits taught me to read an asset from the inside: what it produces, what it consumes, what it promises, and what it actually delivers.
When I moved into advisory, I understood my advantage: most agents have sold many properties but operated few. I know what happens after the closing, because I lived that “after” — which is why I can protect it beforehand.
Lessons, paid in full
The mistakes I now keep my clients from making.
Most real estate marketing shows wins. I'd rather show what the stumbles taught me — mine and the ones I've watched up close. It's more useful to you.
Buying the projection, not the property
Returns calculated on the best month of the year. Today I demand three scenarios and defend the conservative one.
Ignoring the building
A weak owners' association or an empty reserve fund turns a good apartment into an annual problem. It gets reviewed before, not after.
Signing in a hurry
Urgency is the favorite tool of whoever doesn't want you to verify. No good deal dies from 72 hours of due diligence.
Confusing price with value
Cheap in a zone without rental demand is expensive. Value lives in liquidity and in the tenant, not in the discount.
Being alone after the closing
The asset must be operated: rental, maintenance, resale. My work continues where a salesperson's ends.
How I work
Values in action, not on the wall.
Honesty with a cost
I say “don't buy” when the numbers don't hold, even when that advice costs me the commission. It has happened. It will happen again.
Radical transparency
Honest property statuses, complete numbers, risks in writing. When I don't know something, I research it or say so — I never fill the gap with optimism.
Long-term service
I answer after the signing at the same speed as before it. The relationship is the asset I care most about compounding.
Institutional backing
Independent judgment, institutional structure.
I work as an advisor within Platinum Brokers by Freeway, a firm with formal structure: offices, back-office, CRM, and compliance. You get both — my personal judgment and the backing of an established organization.

What clients say
My experience with the advisory was truly excellent. Beyond the kindness, what stood out was the attention and the quality with which the whole process was handled. From the first contact until after the lease was finalized, every detail was looked after so that everything turned out even better than expected. I recommend them one hundred percent.
