About Silvia Rivera

Margarita Rivera best identifies as versatile and adventurous, eager to begin new challenges that will allow for opportunities to grow both personally and professionally. Originally from Mexico City, Margarita has learned to embrace a lifestyle of constant change, as her family moved often to different cities throughout Mexico-- a journey that eventually led to their life in the United States. In the 80's, her passion for travel and absorbing different cultures took her on a one year adventure throughout Europe, with her only VW Westfalia to call home, a camera, and her backpack in hand. On this journey, Margarita experienced first hand Western and Eastern Europe, by indulging in various cultures while gaining an understanding of the plethora of differences in beliefs, values, and expressions that make up our world today. Soon after her return from this life changing journey, Margarita soon came to the realization that her thirst for travel had only deepened. In an effort to satisfy her growing need for exploration, she applied to work for a major Airline, where her customer service and communication skills proved to be critical. In addition to her newfound job, Margarita has always indulged in a healthy and financially rewarding side hustles, such as running antique auctions, owning an antique shop in Texas, importation of beer and wines from Spain to the US, telemarketing and sales of water treatments in Florida. These seemingly unrelated yet skill-developing jobs eventually led her to her true passion; Real Estate, as this was her first job during her university years in Mexico. Her time in this business has truly encompassed the excellent customer service that she is known for, as well as helping people to reach their dream of owning a home. Being a Real Estate investor herself, she also understands the needs and point of view of others wishing to accomplish similar goals. She has worked with this segment of the market for the 15 years that she has been in the business, not only selling properties primarily to foreign investors, but providing them, as well, with the resources to successfully locate financing institutions, supervising the improvement of the property as needed, managing luxurious vacation rentals in order to maximize its benefits to the fullest extent, and closing with an exit strategy when needed. For Margarita, this business revolves round building the confidence of those who choose to trust her expertise, and building relationships not only as customers, but as partners. As stated by Margarita, "For me is not all about the money, it is about the people, being honest, truthful and of service", allowing her to built a name and reputation for herself. She has recently joined EXP Realty in order to achieve her vision of empowering others, taking advantage of the power of networking, she aims to combine the influence of social media with genuine care and a personal touch, while she builds a team of like minded Realtors. "Being part of this amazing group of international agents gives me the confidence and tools to achieve my goals in a more efficient way."
