JAMES MILLER

Owner / Expat – 8+ years in Medellín

James Miller, Owner of Florece Real Estate

James brings more than 15 years of high-level real estate experience in emerging markets to Medellín’s dynamic property landscape. Now based in Envigado with his family, he combines a deep appreciation for local Colombian culture with a global investment perspective to guide clients through complex real estate markets.

James holds undergraduate degrees in Political Science and History from Fordham University, as well as a Master’s in International Relations from the City College of New York. Before establishing his presence in Antioquia, James built an extensive track record across the developing world — most prominently in Belize, where he continues to manage a full-service international law firm.

Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, James approaches his work with an unshakeable dedication and a fair dose of skepticism — a trait forged through a lifetime of loyal devotion to Cleveland sports.

His favorite thing about Colombia, and Medellín in particular, is of course, la gente. A close second is the beauty of Antioquia, which he takes advantage of as an avid hiker. For the past few years, he has run Caminatas con Pequeños, an initiative he founded to share the joy of nature and hiking with children.

About Florece

When James held his infant daughter, he would often say to her, “You’re thriving!” Born in Medellín and pura paisa, Santana is now 7 years old, and James tells her this still. “You’re thriving!” ¡iEstás floreciendo!” And thereby the name Florece was seeded. Our goal is to help you and your family thrive in this beautiful city, as well.
