She sees coastal properties not merely as commodities, but as part of the region's cultural and environmental legacy. Her approach is rooted in a belief that responsible investment can drive both prosperity and preservation.
“True wealth in the Caribbean is not only measured in assets, but in the legacy we leave in its communities and coastlines,” says Castro. This philosophy has guided her work for nearly a decade, helping to shape the future of the Caribbean real estate market by attracting global capital in a way that respects local communities, landscapes, and heritage.

“My role is to help investors leverage every valuable detail, from the character of the coastline to the quality of the land and community, that makes a property and its location truly hold lasting value,” says Castro. This focus on the deeper qualities of the land, rather than just market trends, has proven invaluable to her clients.

“Too often, the focus of investment is short-term profit,” says Castro. “But I believe the Caribbean’s coastal heritage is both a place to be preserved and a source of lasting prosperity. My work centers on helping investors participate in that story, building not only portfolios but a positive legacy for the region.”
