One of the owners of LUMA
Realtor® · Barsottelli Prime Real Estate
Coastal luxury, expertly represented, along New Smyrna Beach and Florida's Atlantic coast.
Before the listings
Long before he sold a house on Flagler Avenue, Ignacio spent three decades in international marketing and communications, and built one of the Caribbean's best known environmental education movements out of nothing but rubbish bags and stubbornness.
The environmental work
A 501(c)(3) non-profit, and the umbrella over two programmes he started: Yo Limpio a Puerto Rico and Yo Limpio America.
Scouting film locations in Puerto Rico, he kept finding beaches buried in rubbish. So he walked them himself, handing out bags. Univision, WIPR, El Nuevo Día, the San Juan Star and La Mega picked it up, and "Yo Limpio a Puerto Rico" became a movement.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency gave the programme its Environmental Quality Award, for advocacy in environmental conservation.
The programme crossed borders into Venezuela, El Salvador, Guatemala, Peru, Costa Rica, Panama, the Dominican Republic and the United States.
A recycling programme inside Puerto Rico's own Capitol building, run with the Capitol Superintendent and the island's Solid Waste Authority.
The corporate side
As an international environmental consultant he built responsibility programmes inside some of the largest companies on earth, turning corporate policy into something employees actually did.
On film
He produced a documentary for Mercy for Earth built on interviews with the people who set global environmental policy: Ingrid Newkirk, president of PETA, UNESCO officials, and Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, who chaired the IPCC when it shared the Nobel Peace Prize.
The campaigns drew Academy Award winner Benicio del Toro, alongside Daddy Yankee, Residente and Chayanne.
And now
Multilingual, deeply local, and ranked in the top 1% of Realtors in the United States, he represents buyers and sellers of New Smyrna Beach's coastal, residential and luxury property, and co-owns LUMA four blocks from the beach ramp.
