He was born in town of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico. He migrated to America at age 16. While using deceptive company strategies during his early years, for example, bait and switch, he started to move up the ladder fast in the area of property. He cleared upwards of $20 million in sales in the first couple of months in 2009, resulting in about $75 million in sales in 2010. He’s now Vice President of Keller William Realty, along with his appearances on Million Dollar Listing New York. As well as property, Ortiz also offers a short and unsuccessful career in movie after attending the New York Film Academy. Ortiz raised just $9,000 of the $15,000 needed for a movie shot in Bolivia named The Theater of the Absurd. Most this total comes from Ortiz’s business, with a modest sum from his Bravo TV contract. Ortiz was estimated to bring in ~$10 million in 2012 13.
