Meet Lana & Ricky Perez of Hollywood

Today we’d like to introduce you to Lana & Ricky Perez

Hi Lana & Ricky, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Our journey from humble beginnings to building a successful real estate team is a testament to the strength of hard work, dedication, and a shared passion for helping others achieve their dreams. As a married couple of over 20 years, we’ve found that being both life partners and business partners is a powerful combination, fueling our success and commitment to each other and our clients.

Lana: Originally from Riga, Latvia, I arrived in the United States in 2001 with limited English and minimal funds. But I carried with me an unshakable vision for a brighter future. I started by working on cruise ships and later joined a local bank, where I progressed from a teller to Branch Manager. The potential I saw around me sparked a deep desire for financial freedom and a life of purpose. In 2009, I earned my real estate license, embarking on a new career as a realtor. The road was challenging, but my determination to succeed was stronger than any obstacle. Today, I am proud to serve my community, guided by the same values of hard work and persistence.

Ricky: I was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, where I had a challenging upbringing in the Newark projects. My involvement in sports helped me stay out of trouble, teaching me discipline and resilience from an early age. I spent over 25 years building a career in the pharmaceutical industry before transitioning to real estate. In 2015, inspired by Lana’s unwavering vision, I joined her in the real estate world. Together, we launched LP Global Company in 2017, bringing our complementary skills to create a team committed to excellence and each client’s success.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Lana: The first major challenge I faced in my real estate career was starting out in 2009, right after the market crash. The industry was flooded with foreclosures and short sales, and very few people were looking to buy. It was a tough time to begin, but I was fortunate to work alongside some incredible professionals who taught me valuable skills for navigating such a challenging market.

Through resilience and a positive outlook, I learned to turn these obstacles into opportunities. I connected with a group of investors who saw the potential in the market, and together, we were able to achieve remarkable results. Our sales skyrocketed, and the experience taught me that with the right mindset, even the toughest challenges can lead to tremendous growth.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
At LP Global Realty, we provide personal attention and genuine care to each client from our very first meeting to the final closing. Buying or selling a home is a significant, emotional step, and we’re here to support you at every turn. Specializing in South Florida homes and oceanfront properties, we’re not just guiding you through a transaction—we’re helping you begin an exciting new chapter.

We believe that a truly exceptional real estate experience begins and ends with having dedicated agents by your side. Whether you’re seeking the best price for your property or searching for the perfect family home, we’re committed to making it happen.

How do you define success?
For us at LP Global Realty, success goes beyond just closing a deal. Success is about building trust, making a positive impact, and helping our clients achieve their dreams. It’s measured by the relationships we build, the satisfaction our clients feel, and the long-term value we bring to their lives. Whether it’s guiding a family to their perfect home, helping an investor maximize returns, or supporting someone through a major life transition, true success is defined by our ability to provide exceptional service and leave a lasting, positive mark on each person we work with.

In the end, success is knowing that our clients feel cared for and valued—that’s what drives us every day.
