PPR Rep Earns Special Honor

Punta Pacifica Realty (PPR) rental specialist Oliver Robin has done it again. Oliver earned entry into PPR’s exclusive Montblanc Club, recognizing outstanding achievement in sales, rentals, and service, for the second time in three months.

Oliver connected 10 happy renters with new apartments in the month, displaying the focus on customer service and personal improvement that are the hallmarks of the PPR philosophy.

“Oliver is a great example of taking an opportunity and making the most of it,” says PPR partner and director of property management Eddie Montes. “We want all our teammates to grow, both professionally and personally.”

Oliver took an unusual path to PPR. He was a client before he joined the team.

“Jeff, [PPR managing director Jeff Barton] sold me an apartment then offered me a job with it,” he says. “It was a package deal.”

Oliver grew up in the south of Spain. His background is in food and beverage, business and marketing management. His father always owned restaurants when he was growing up.

“I was pretty much born in a restaurant, before owning and managing my own,” Oliver says. “Customer service and attention to detail runs in my veins.”

Before joining PPR in 2017, he had spent the last year designing and launching a restaurant in Morocco. Like many others, he moved to Panama looking for a new challenge.

There is no question about the secret to Oliver’s success: he focuses on building long-term relations and always focuses on going the extra mile to take care of his clients—the foundation of PPR’s approach to working with sellers, buyers and renters.  

“When I help clients find a new home, even if a temporary one, I do this the exact same way I would do if it was for myself,” he says. Oliver works closely with Raul Hassan, the Lionel Messi of the Montblanc club, who has earned the honor three times.

“My name might be on the Montblanc club board, but it’s really a team effort,” Oliver says. “I wouldn’t have been able to achieve this for the second time if it wasn’t for the exceptional team spirit that bonds the different departments at PPR.”
