John Menezes’s Summary

John Menezes joined Condo.com, (formerly US Condo Exchange), as General Counsel and Regulatory and Compliance Officer in 2006 after practicing law at a boutique litigation and commercial law firm in Miami, Florida. Mr. Menezes spearheads the Company’s domestic and international market expansion. His responsibilities include business development, contract formation and negotiation, regulatory and administrative compliance and intellectual property management. John obtained his management degree from Boston College. He is a member of the Florida State Bar Association.

Condo.com (formerly "USCondex.com") was established to capitalize on the rapidly growing and highly disorganized U.S. marketplace for condominium apartments. The current condo market has been fueled by a period of historically low interest rates coupled with an aging population of baby boomers who are migrating to states with tax advantages and superior climates. Additionally, international buyers view U.S. condos as good investments and as a hedge against currency and political risks. Lastly, Condo.com is a global advertising portal and international multiple listing service for condos. Condo.com currently has over 600,000+ condos located in the U.S. and in 70 countries around the world valued at over $150+ billion. The website cost-effectively delivers unparalleled international exposure to developers, brokers and for-sale-by-owners through the seamless distribution of its listings to a global network of real estate websites visited by over 15 million viewers per month. Condo.com also partners with major media companies to automate the listing of for-sale and for-rent condo ads.
