Dear Friends,

All of us have different customs when the year comes to its end and we envision how the next one will be like. We happen to live in a country with very unique traditions, like carrying a suitcase around the block hoping for lots of travelling during the year, eating 12 grapes representing 12 different wishes, or even wearing yellow underwear on New Year’s eve for good fortune.

Here at Gutierrez Group, our team has a different, probably less colorful but equally memorable approach. We like to sit down during the last week of the year to think about that very special goal that will define the course of our organization during the upcoming calendar, and evaluate if what we envisioned for the year about to expire was successfully achieved.

Back in 2015, when we formed Gutierrez Group, it was all about setting ourselves up through condensing over 15 years of accumulated experience. Establishing was the objective. For such we recruited excellent professionals who are even better human beings, constructed our corporate offices, reinforced our strategic alliances and mindsets towards devoting to serving our clients.

Then in 2016, the word was escalating. We opened new lines of services, such as property management, and launched new investment products, like Colombian Timber (www.colombiantimber.com), an equally fascinating and gratifying project; or Sutax Capital, our taxi/medallion financing project, which complemented our already existing taxi dealership. We also developed Manila House (www.manilahouse.com.co), Gutierrez Group’s vision of a truly high-quality short-term rental building in El Poblado, Medellin.
