On July 22, following Sagewood Corporation’s “Encontro com Sagewood” at the Fasano Itaim Hotel in São Paulo, Sagewood CEO Douglas Strabelli sat down for an exclusive interview with EXAME journalist Layane Serrano.

During the conversation, Strabelli discussed his entrepreneurial journey, Sagewood’s 25-year history, the company’s growth from New York to Florida, and his perspective on the opportunities shaping the U.S. real estate market.

The interview also explored Strabelli’s experience building a construction and development company in the United States, as well as Sagewood’s continued expansion in Florida and its plans to strengthen connections between Brazilian investors and opportunities in the U.S. market.
