Jim Carvajal - Broker/Owner/Property Manager
Licensing: #261209341

Specialties: Buyer's Agent, Listing Agent, Property Management, Consulting


US NAVY veteran, broker/owner at The Carvajal-group in Orlando, Florida and volunteer officer at the US NAVAL SEA CADET CORPS.  Originally from the New York City area but the military brought me to Virginia Beach where I met my lovely wife, Deena, and then moved to Atlanta (1999) and finally Orlando (2002). Buying homes as investments to flip or rent out are are just two of my passions.  I use my experience everyday to help a buyer understand from A to Z what the entire home buying process is really like.  Not just what they watch on HGTV.  I maintain my clients trust by always putting their best interests first and repeat business naturally follows.  Working with buyers, sellers and rental owners over the years has afforded me the opportunity to get to know so many people; many of which are now close personal friends.  Since about 50% of my client base is Spanish - no problem there as I am fluent in Spanish as well.

I think of myself as a lifelong learner, constantly wanting to gain knowledge through interacting with others and thinking outside of the box. One of my favorite aspects in life is experiencing new things. Being challenged, pushing the limits, and finding a way to elevate my skills is really inspiring to me. My persistence allowed me to accomplish one of the biggest goals I had more myself – earning my Real Estate License.

Being from Ecuador, I have a huge heart for my family and friends. I love that about my culture and people – Taking the time to learn about others and listening to their unique stories is something I enjoy doing while expressing that I care. Numerous things have shaped my life – the relationships I create and maintain, the family and friends I surround myself with. My faith in God is strong and I know whatever crosses my path, He has a plan for me, a purpose for me.

When I’m not closing deals, I love to escape the hustle and bustle of this world and go for bike rides and exploring nature. Reflecting and releasing my thoughts by writing them down in a journal is something that gives me peace and tranquility.


Johanna Garatuza - Property Management Assistant

Tranquil and relaxing are a couple of reasons why I love living in a small town in Sonora, Mexico. Being on the Pacific Coast I relish the beaches nearby and how unique they are with the dessert and ocean meeting together. As a single mother in Mexico, I stand tall and proud with how I’ve been able to provide for my son. As much as I try to shape him with all the values and morals I have, he has taught me more things than I could have imagined.

After I graduated from college studying Electronic Engineering, I hopped from being a team lead in telemedicine projects to entering the manufacturing industry. During this time, I sharpened my customer service skills, as I would work closely with clients – managing and exceeding their expectations. As my aspirations grew, I quickly realized I had a lot more to offer and outgrew the company. Taking a leap of faith, I found myself in the software industry working as a project manager. All these experiences allowed me to grow personally and professionally. It led me to eventually joining The Carvajal Group.

When I’m not being a superhuman in the office, I enjoy reading and going to the beach. Catching up with friends, drinking coffee, and eating really great food with really great people are just a few things I love doing in my spare time!
