Hey,
I’m Ricardo.
I create high-impact events (both in-person & virtual) that build buzz, generate revenue, and leave your audience talking long after it’s over.
Who am I?
A curator of community who is skilled at the art of crafting unforgettable experiences, I’m a man of many stories and friends.
I’m also:
- Professional event orchestrator for companies in the real estate world.
- Curator of best-in-class experiences.
- Master of networking & building strong relationships.
- Creative strategist with impeccably high standards.
Your event isn’t just about filling seats—it’s about awakening people to the magic of your brand and converting them into superfans who gush about your business to everyone they know.
Whether you’re interested in hosting a live event or digital experience like virtual summits and webinars, I’ve got you covered (and then some).
What if I told you people can get hyped about your brand?
You know successful events have an INCREDIBLE impact:
But the problem is… you don’t even know where to start:
And you can’t help but think…
“What if I invest all of this time and money, and no one even shows up?”
Or maybe you already hosted an event and it didn’t go as planned—low sign-ups, yawning attendees, and way more stress than you anticipated.
Here’s the thing…
Whether it’s a multi-day conference or virtual summit, your event shouldn’t be a shot in the dark (“let’s just wing it!”) or a copy of what
This is your moment to shine.
My superpower is creating buzzworthy events that:
- Get people talking and scrambling to sign up.
- Go beyond the basics. I craft unique, top-tier experiences that get your audience raving about your brand.
- Act as money-making machines. No more guesswork, just results.
- Delivers ROI without the stress. I handle everything—venue, sponsors, vendors—so you can actually enjoy the process.
Ricardo proved he has the pulse of our industry as well as anyone delivering an unmatched event that includes today’s practical and applied innovation being used in the trenches by the best operators in the world while keeping an important part ever present, FUN!
His “right now” knowledge of what’s working brings an element of value forward to any event that very few can match.”

Past Events
15 Years of Experience in Events, Real Estate & Marketing
These aren’t just “events,” they’re experiences designed on purpose.
Over the last 15 years, I’ve designed, produced, emceed, and curated event experiences for real estate brands, brokerages, and communities that wanted more than just another forgettable event.
My role spans experience design, content curation, show flow, speaker strategy, and on-stage hosting (i.e. emceeing) bringing structure, energy, and intention to every room.
The common thread? Events people still talk about long after the lights go down.

ehomes Holiday Gala | A Designed Brand Experience at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills
My Role: Experience Design · Creative Direction · Show Flow

I designed the end-to-end event experience. Shaping the arrival, pacing the evening, and curating moments that made guests feel like part of something special, not just attendees at another company event.

Constant Contact VIP Bash | EXPCON Miami
My Role: Experience Strategy · Landing Page Design & Messaging · Registration & Outreach Strategy
The Constant Contact VIP Bash at EXPCON Miami was a private networking experience designed to support the launch of Constant Contact’s new partnership with eXp Realty.
The goal was not to host just another sponsor party, but to create a focused, high-signal environment where eXp’s elite operators could connect meaningfully with the Constant Contact team in a way that felt intentional, exclusive, and aligned with the partnership narratie.
I helped design the networking experience and owned the go-to-market execution: creating the landing page, crafting the outreach and registration strategy, and driving qualified attendance from the right segment of the audience.

My Role: Experience Curation · Audience & Outreach Strategy · VIP Event Strategy
The Fello VIP Bash at Keller Williams Family Reunion was a private, invite-only experience designed to bring together elite Keller Williams operators for high-level networking and relationship-building.
I curated the event experience and led the outreach strategy while personally inviting top-performing KW operators to ensure the room was intentionally composed of the right people, not just a large crowd. The goal was to create an environment where meaningful conversations could happen naturally, supporting both relationship-building and sales outcomes.
The experience featured thoughtful, memorable details including cocktail graffiti and custom real estate-themed signature cocktails that helped set the tone and create a sense of exclusivity without feeling forced or overly promotional.
The result was a highly engaged room and a strong post-event conversion rate, reinforcing the impact of pairing intentional audience design with experience-driven networking.

My Role: Speaker · Strategic Perspective
Session Title: The Cornerstones of Real Estate Success: Building Systems That Actually Convert
This session was delivered at Conversion Con, a conference focused on helping operators build durable conversion systems inside their real estate businesses.
Rather than chasing tactics or trends, the session centered on the core cornerstones that consistently drive results (intentional operating systems, CRM & scripting strategy, and more).
Drawing from years of working alongside top-performing agents, teams, and brokerages, the conversation focused on what actually sustains growth over time and how strong foundations make every marketing, sales, and conversion system more effective.

My Role: Executive Producer · Experience Design · Content Curation · Sponsorship Strategy · Creative Direction · Event Emcee

I served as the executive producer of the experience, owning the event end-to-end from concept and content to execution and creative direction. This included curating the full agenda and speaker lineup, designing the attendee journey, and ensuring the experience felt intentional, energetic, and aligned with the brand at every touchpoint.
I also led the sponsorship strategy, selling and managing over $360,000 in sponsorships, integrating partners into the event in a way that added value for attendees rather than detracting from the experience.
In addition to production and content, I provided creative direction and oversight for all visual storytelling by managing the photography and videography teams, directing stage design, and project managing every design asset associated with the event. I wrote the website copy and collaborated closely with designers to ensure the visual identity, messaging, and on-site execution all worked together as a cohesive whole.
FUBCON Los Angeles stands as a defining example of my approach to conferences: combining strategy, storytelling, and experience design to create events that resonate in the room and live on well beyond it.

The goal was to create a virtual environment that respected attendees’ time while delivering actionable strategies that they could immediately apply.
The result was a highly attended, experience-driven virtual summit that demonstrated how thoughtful design and program structure can turn an online event into something that feels engaging, intentional, and worth showing up for live.
