Marcela Arenas, MBA
Real Estate Advisor | Strategic Consultant | Investor-Focused
A real estate advisor with a rare blend of strategic vision, global perspective, and deep expertise in marketing, business, and artificial intelligence. With more than 35 years of experience advising entrepreneurs and companies, I bring a level of insight and structure to real estate that goes far beyond transactions.
My Story
Based in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, I specialize in working with international buyers, investors, and clients navigating complex or volatile markets. My approach is analytical, data-driven, and highly personalized. Every recommendation is grounded in market intelligence, risk awareness, and long-term value creation.
What truly sets me apart is my background outside traditional real estate. I hold an MBA with a specialization in Marketing, am a Certified Business Coach, and a Certified AI Strategist. This allows me to leverage advanced technology, market trends, and behavioral insights to help clients identify opportunities others miss and make confident, informed decisions.
I am known for being direct, strategic, and fiercely committed to my clients' goals. I do not believe in pressure tactics or one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, I operate as a trusted advisor, helping clients align real estate decisions with their broader financial and lifestyle objectives.
Fluent in English and Spanish, and deeply connected to the Hispanic and international community, I offer clarity, professionalism, and calm leadership in every stage of the real estate journey.
When you work with me, you are not just buying or selling property. You are gaining a strategic partner focused on protecting your interests and helping you move forward with confidence.
