Position
Global brokerages bring balance sheets to markets they do not know. We bring the counterparty, the criterion and the twenty years of relationships that decide whether a transaction closes — and we do it as principals in the outcome, not as intermediaries in the fee.

About
A firm built on one person's book, extended by a network that answers the phone.
J.C. Farias & Co. is led by Juan Carlos Farias, who has spent his career on the operating side of real estate and franchise growth in Peru, Ecuador, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. The firm works on a small number of mandates at a time, with the principal on every call.
Around that core sits a standing network of local counsel, tax structuring, appraisal and construction management — assembled per transaction rather than carried as overhead. Clients get a specialist bench without paying for a platform.
