What We Do
Cross-Border Investment and Project Coordination
JERFI LLC provides strategic cross-border investment, infrastructure and project coordination services to institutional and corporate clients. We advise multinational investors, funding entities and developers on complex international real estate, infrastructure and development projects, with a primary focus on the Florida market.Our expertise spans investment strategy, project execution and the selection and oversight of the specialist network required to deliver a project. We coordinate every phase — from site identification and due diligence through closing, permitting, construction and exit — and report to the investor through a single line.
What we are, and what we are not.
JERFI LLC is not a real estate brokerage. Real estate brokerage services are performed by professionals licensed in the State of Florida, and legal work by attorneys admitted to The Florida Bar. We select, coordinate and oversee these professionals on the investor's behalf; the investor retains all decision authority, ownership and control of funds.
The Challenge
The real difficulty in cross-border investment is not capital. It is coordination.
Legal, zoning, financing and construction stakeholders across two countries must be brought onto a single timeline. This is far harder than raising capital.
Multiplicity of stakeholders : A land acquisition and development process involves dozens of separate counterparties: brokers, attorneys, title companies, surveyors, environmental engineers, architects, contractors and lenders.
Distance and time zones: The investor sits in another country, while decisions must be made on U.S. time, under U.S. regulation, and frequently within the same business day.
Information asymmetry: Zoning, entitlement, title, escrow and permitting processes require local knowledge. Decisions made without it create costs that are difficult to reverse.
The result : The investor is forced to take on a coordination role outside their area of expertise. Lost time, cost overruns and poor decisions follow from this.
Our Approach
One Point of Contact, One Reporting Line
JERFI LLC lifts the coordination burden from the investor and consolidates it under a single structure. The investor does not deal with dozens of counterparties separately, but works with one strategic partner. The investor decides; JERFI LLC executes.
01 Single Point of Contact : Licensed brokers, attorneys, architects and contractors are brought under one coordination structure.
02 Local Presence: On-the-ground knowledge and field presence in the Florida market, with transparent remote reporting.
03 End to End: Uninterrupted process management from acquisition through construction, operation and exit.
04 Transparent Structure: Scope of authority, reporting and decision rights remain with the investor at every stage.
How the Structure Works
Roles and Responsibilities
The strength of this structure lies in everyone knowing exactly what they do. Three parties, three distinct areas of responsibility, one reporting line.
01 · Decides
The Investor
Sets investment objectives, approves offers and pricing, and holds title through their own entity. Funds remain under the investor's control and move only through escrow and counsel.
02 · Coordinates
JERFI LLC
Selects and oversees the professionals, manages the timeline, consolidates findings and reports through a single line. Does not decide, does not hold title, does not handle funds.
03 · Executes
The Expert Network
Licensed brokers handle representation, attorneys handle legal matters, architects handle design, contractors handle construction. Each contracts directly with the investor.
Why this separation matters: the investor's decision authority, ownership and control of funds are never transferred. JERFI LLC's role is limited to coordination and oversight — a boundary that protects the investor and guarantees the transparency of the process.
How We Work
From first conversation to executed project
First Meeting: No Charge
Our first strategic meeting is entirely free of charge. Investment objectives, budget range, risk tolerance and target areas are discussed. A preliminary regional view and possible scenarios are shared. No commitment is required.
Authorisation and Service Model
The scope of the engagement and the terms of the advisory services are settled one-to-one and set out in a written agreement. Where a power of attorney is used, its scope, term and limits are determined with the investor's approval.
End-to-End Coordination
We organise all stakeholders on the investor's behalf — licensed real estate professionals, law firms, architectural offices, construction companies and lenders — and report through a single line.
Why we do not publish a price list
Every investment differs in scope, geography and complexity. A land acquisition does not require the same service intensity as a multi-phase mixed-use development. We structure our service model around the actual needs of the project rather than a standard tariff.
What we are accountable for
We are accountable for the quality, completeness and timeliness of the work we deliver: analyses, due diligence files, application packages and coordination. Decisions by governmental authorities, lenders and counterparties remain outside our control, and we say so at the outset rather than after the fact.
Investment Lifecycle
A Three-Phase Model
A real estate investment does not end when the deed transfers. We stay with the investor across the full life of the asset — from acquisition through value creation to final exit.
01
Acquisition and Due Diligence
Objective: acquiring the right asset, at the right price, on clean legal ground
-
Power of Attorney — a transaction-specific power of attorney with a scope defined in advance, set with the investor's approval
-
Offer and Escrow — offer strategy, escrow account and monitoring of the flow of funds. At no stage does JERFI LLC hold investor acquisition funds in its own accounts
-
Zoning, Feasibility and Legal Review — zoning analysis, title search, survey, environmental review and feasibility work through licensed professionals, consolidated into a risk matrix
-
Closing and Transfer of Title — transfer to an entity formed by the attorney and wholly owned by the investor
-
Output: an asset with completed legal review, registered under the investor's own entity
02
Development and Entitlements
Objective: converting land into a permitted, financeable project
-
Permitting and Entitlements — local authority applications, site plan approvals, entitlement and permit processes
-
Architectural Coordination — the design process from concept through construction documents
-
Contractor Bidding — tender process, prequalification, comparative bid analysis and contract negotiation
-
Lender Engagement — offering package, lender meetings and comparison of term sheets
-
Output: a permitted, budgeted project file ready for construction
03
Operation and Exit
Objective: realising value and converting the investment to cash on plan
-
Brand and Operator Negotiations — discussions with brand and operator candidates for commercial, hotel or multifamily projects
-
Operational Structuring — leasing strategy, property management structure and operating model
-
Exit Organisation — exclusive listing broker, marketing package, buyer process and sale negotiations
Output: an investment placed into operation or converted to cash through a planned exit
Note: for stabilised multifamily, hotel or individual home and villa acquisitions, the process is managed with the same discipline and transparency, excluding the construction and development stages. The model shortens with the scale of the project; the standard does not change.
Expert Network
Which Professionals Do We Connect Investors With?
For each project we select professionals through a structured evaluation process: a candidate pool is assembled, licensure and disciplinary records are verified, references are checked, a comparative assessment is prepared and a reasoned recommendation is delivered. The selection decision always rests with the investor.

Our Philosophy
The Invisible Sight
We anticipate emerging trends and uncover opportunities others cannot see, transforming them into strategy that can actually be executed. Making the invisible visible requires combining visionary foresight, rigorous analysis and practical execution — enabling investors to navigate complex international investments with confidence and precision.
In practice this means looking past the asking price to the entitlement path, past the site plan to the approval calendar, and past the closing to the exit. What determines the outcome of a cross-border investment is rarely what is visible at the point of decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Investors Ask Most
Can I run this process without travelling to the United States?
Yes. With a power of attorney whose scope is defined in advance, the acquisition, escrow and closing processes can be carried out while the investor remains abroad. Decision authority stays with the investor at every stage.
In whose name is the property registered?
Title is registered in an entity formed by the attorney on the investor's behalf and wholly owned by the investor. JERFI LLC is not an owner but a process coordinator.
Where do I send my funds?
Funds are transferred directly to an escrow account administered by the attorney or title company. At no stage does JERFI LLC hold investor acquisition funds in its own accounts.
Is JERFI LLC a real estate brokerage?
No. JERFI LLC is a strategic advisory and project coordination structure. Representation in real estate transactions is provided by professionals licensed in the State of Florida, and legal work by attorneys admitted to The Florida Bar. We undertake the selection, coordination and process management of these stakeholders.
What is discussed in the first meeting?
Investment objectives, budget range, timeline and target asset type. The meeting concludes with a view of suitable regions and a scenario framework. It is free of charge and creates no commitment.
How long does the process take?
For stabilised asset acquisitions, due diligence and closing are typically completed within a few months. For projects involving entitlement and construction, the timeline depends on local authority approval processes and the scale of the project.
