Moon Over Miami

Jose Manuel Palli left Cuba in 1960 for Buenos Aires, Argentina. There he graduated from law school. Next stop was Miami. He became involved in title insurance first with the First American Title Insurance Company and later with his own company, World Wide Title.
A real pioneer, he is considered by many as the Grand-Father of title insurance in Mexico. Jose Manuel worked very hard in the Los Cabos area and helped issue many of the first title insurance polices in the state.
Recently José Manuel and his lovely wife Marcia, hosted an Argentinean style BBQ at his home in Coral Gables. The purpose was to host a group of colleagues and friends who were in Miami to attend "Real Estate Investment World Latin America."
Those attending represented a large spectrum of people from the Mexican real estate industry. Coming from Stewart Title Guaranty Company, in Houston were Michael Skalka, Chairman & CEO of Stewart International, and Mitch Creekmore, Senior Vice President with Stewart.
John McCarthy former Director General of FONATUR, (the economic development arm of Mexico's tourism department) and his partner Gustavo Ripol were there from Mexico City. John is now with Altavista Partners as CEO. This company is working on a large new development on the East Cape of the Baja Peninsula, not far from Los Cabos.
Arriving from La Paz, Baja California Sur were John Glaab of The Settlement Company and Linda Neil of Linda Neil Properties. Tom Kelly was there from Seattle. Tom is referred to as, "The Real Estate Communicator." He co-authored with Mitch Creekmore, the book, "Cashing In On a Second Home in Mexico."
It had been a rainy week in Miami. At one point during the evening, Jose Manuel pointed at the clear sky and said, "Look, moon over Miami."
