About Jorge Escasena

Jorge is a fully bilingual Cuban American born in San Diego, California, who has lived in Miami for over 39 years. A marketing and sales seasoned veteran with a privileged career in the media industry for two decades, selling advertising and intellectual property rights for top-tier television networks like Univision, CBS, ESPN & NBA, to name a few. Not afraid of reinventing himself after the recession in 2008, he jumped headfirst at an opportunity that was given to him by a family-owned food distributor in Miami selling to small independent retail supermarket stores. He started from the bottom and worked his way up to eventually become the top producer in the company. Shortly after, he was acquired by the leading food purveyor in the Southeast, now owned by Palladium Equity, a private equity firm out of New York, to handle big chain accounts like Publix, Walmart, Sam's Club & BJ’s, representing a $100,000,000 portfolio.
 

In 2013, he married Karla, and without hesitation, Jorge reinvented himself again and got his real estate license to join his wife at Luxury Living Realty, her brokerage firm. He’s been a resident of Fisher Island ever since, and has become a luxury real estate specialist, an avid golf member, and a tennis player on the island. He is also very involved in the Miami Brain Tumor Coalition, a non-profit organization affiliated with the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke University.
