Eddy Perez Jr. is a first-generation Cuban American who's worked hard to create opportunity and empower others in everything he does. Eddy believes home buying is the great American gift because with a home, we can create freedom and empowerment for every single person. Eddy’s father was on the Cuban national baseball team and arrived in Miami in 1964 after spending three days at sea, rowing from Cuba to freedom. He was homeless the first week in this country. With some kindness from the community and an entrepreneurial mindset, Eddy’s father bootstrapped and created his own construction business. Eddy was able to see firsthand what freedom of mind, spirit, and career can do in someone's life.
