In 1969 the idea of Trans Indies Realty & Investment Corp. was created by Gloria Berman and her husband, the late David Kaplan. At the time they were living with their three young children in a big, drafty house at the end of a country lane in La Muda. Both David and Gloria were well known for being serious people. They set up the business in their home, with one idea in mind: to create a real estate company that would deal with each and every customer in a fair and honest manner. They moves to Santa Maria, and once again had their office in their home. The office had a terrace with an Acerola tree right outside. They started recruiting Associates at this time.
Business grew steadily, and the office was moved to Roosevelt Ave. in Hato Rey. More Associates joined TIRI, and our Commercial/Industrial division was opened. Our relocation division followed. Soon thereafter, offices opened in Guaynabo and Condado, and eventually in Bayamon, Carolina and Caguas. In 1995, Gisella Castro assumed presidency of the Corporation, and the company expanded even further under her inspired leadership.
As a result of the hard work of our team of professionals, unmatched in the real estate industry, TIRI has grown and thrived. The foundation upon which the business was started still exists today.
