Carlos Ruiz de Quevedo Carlos has lived in Greater Miami since 1961 and is familiar with the neighborhoods and municipalities that make up Greater Miami. He's a product of the local school system and holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Miami - School of Architecture where he also studied real estate, engineering and photography.
 
For about 30 years, Carlos practiced architecture as principal-owner of an architectural firm that was recognized by the South Florida Business Journal as "Top 25 Architectural Firms in South Florida". After selling the company he co-founded, he was Sr. VP of The Collage Companies (an Orlando based construction company) and VP of 3D/International (now Parsons Corporation).

Carlos has been committed to sustainable living since his early days as an architectural intern with a former student of Frank Lloyd Wright; one of the authors of organic architecture, the predecessor of Green architecture. Carlos drives a hybrid and lives in a green home. Changing to a hybrid saves him about $1000/yr and over 320 gallons of gasoline. His green house saves him about $2000/year in energy costs.

He joined EWM Realtors, a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate, in 2003 and is a multi-million dollar producer. But his greatest satisfaction and recognition comes from the people he helps. It is the testimony of his clients that drives Carlos to provide exceptional service. His experience and EWM capabilities make it a perfect combination for providing exceptional service.
