Welcome to another episode of Sin Permiso! Today's guest was Nidia Peguero!

A love of real estate started at a young age for Nidia Peguero, when her parents owned multiple properties and her father worked in construction. “He would let me tag along to various renovation projects he was doing on the weekends,” she shares. “I recall one home he was renovating when I was a young girl. It was located on the water in Marblehead, and that did it for me.” She imagined building her own house, and in 2016 she and her husband fulfilled that dream in North Andover, a suburb in the Merrimack Valley where they are raising their two children.

A Realtor and team lead at Century 21 North East, Peguero started her career as a paralegal with a small law firm in Chelsea where the partners were also real estate developers. “Working at the law firm gave me the legal knowledge necessary to advise first-time buyers and also investors,” Peguero explains. A Realtor for 17 years, she’s also a landlord and manages several properties. “I feel that I am an asset to clients looking to dip their feet in the landlord business,” she adds.

Born and raised in Chelsea, Peguero continues to have her office there. “I started my career in Chelsea, where the population is predominantly Latino,” she shares. “Being bilingual and developing relationships is extremely important to me, as I want my clients to feel appreciated and understood.”

Earning his real estate license at age 19, Uribazo was a top Realtor for Century 21 before becoming manager of his office, and later, he switched to a career as a mortgage banker. “Even though I enjoyed helping families find their dream homes, I really found that I had a love and talent for working on the banking side of the homebuying process,” he says.

He is also one of the founding board members of the Boston chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals and currently serves as its membership chair.

Born in Cuba, Uribazo moved with his family to Spain when he was 5 years old and immigrated to U.S. five years later. “Through my family’s experience, I have seen what is it is to come to the U.S. with nothing and obtain the American dream of homeownership,” he says. “I strive to make that dream a reality for every family that I have the privilege to work with.”

Uribazo is an avid Harley Davidson rider and has taken his motorcycle all around the U.S. He is also a proud husband and father and a committed volunteer with his church community.
