Our Awesome Story

In June of 2016, Roxana Girand - Spitzer opened the doors to Sebastian Capital Inc, an innovate boutique real estate firm that specializes in Latin American families with real estate assets in the US market. Sebastian Capital offers a custom, diverse platform of services merging traditional commercial real estate in sectors such as acquisitions, leasing, management and sales with access to growth capital. This hybrid model of commercial brokerage with mortgage capabilities makes the firm much nimbler in its approach to commercial real estate in New York City and across the country.

Today, Sebastian Capital has under management over 3.5M square feet of commercial and residential real estate in New York City, New Jersey and Westchester.

Through Sebastian Capital, Ms. Girand’s vision is to revitalize the industry with a more personalized and hands on business approach. She specializes in working with a variety of investors and Latin American Families that would not necessarily want to have a presence in the US. This, together with fresh marketing strategies, technological advances, and a big utilization of social media, is enabling change in the way Real Estate is done.

Some of Roxana Girand - Spitzer’s blue-chip clients list includes: Banco Inbursa, El Universal of Venezuela family office, Lloyd Goldman’s BLDG management, Flexis Capital, The Lightstone Group, Corigin Real Estate among many others.
