Born and raised in Caracas , Venezuela, Raul Aleman has successfully worked in the Florida real estate field for over 10 years. Before establishing the Bahia International Realty, Raul was affiliated with Charles Rutenberg Realty, growing his real estate office into a $5 million volume business.
Raul is recognized within the Tampa real estate community as a premier real estate agent and consummate professional, serving Tampa home buying and selling needs for residential and commercial clients alike.
An added benefit of working with Raul and the Bahia International Realty is that he grew up steeped in ways that go beyond "se habla español." Although there are many Tampa real estate agents who can speak Spanish or offer Spanish-speaking agents, Raul has the ability to speak "tu idioma." This includes offering you customized Spanish-language marketing programs to buy or sell your Tampa property.
This language skill, combined with his real estate expertise and knowledge of Tampa Bay neighbourhoods, sets him apart from other Tampa real estate agents.
Raul holds a Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Prior to his involvement in Real Estate, he was one of the Executive Directors (CEO) at Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA), one of the largest oil companies in the world. In addition, he was an associate professor at the prestigious universities "Universidad Central of Venezuela" and "Universidad Simon Bolivar" in Caracas, Venezuela.
"Helping you buy and sell Tampa real estate is not just a full-time job, it's my passion! And nothing gives me greater satisfaction than to help you realize your dream of home ownership in this wonderful part of South Florida.
We work with you, one-on-one, to determine not just what you want in a house, but also what you want in a home. From that point, you can rely on me and the Bahia International Realty team of real estate professionals to represent your best interests to those involved in any real estate transaction, to get the best possible deal."
