Born and raised in Guatemala, Perez immigrated to the United States at 18, driven by an entrepreneurial mindset.

His success in finance sharpened his analytical approach to market trends and investment performance, giving him a competitive edge when structuring complex real estate deals.
In 2009, Perez returned to real estate full-time, founding District One Properties, a boutique firm specializing in commercial and residential real estate advisory. Recognizing the evolving demands of the market, he rebranded the firm in 2017 as District Partners at Compass, aligning with the nation’s most innovative brokerage to provide clients with cutting-edge marketing, data-driven insights, and exceptional representation.
