MIchael Franz, Founder, Hallo Casa

“I recently had the pleasure of hosting an incredibly knowledgeable real estate expert on my podcast, and her insights were truly invaluable. Specializing in Cartagena de Indias in Colombia, she shared compelling market trends and investment opportunities, seamlessly blending real estate intricacies with the city's rich history. What makes her stand out is her hands-on experience offering exclusive tours in Baru and the surrounding islands. This not only showcases stunning properties but also provides a firsthand experience of Cartagena's vibrant lifestyle and natural beauty. Listeners were captivated by her ability to blend real estate expertise with engaging stories about the region's hidden gems. I highly recommend her for anyone interested in Cartagena's real estate market or seeking an immersive tour of this picturesque Colombian paradise.”
