Beyond the formal perks, Vista’s team operates as a cohesive unit with a collaborative spirit.“It’s really a team vibe with us,” Moguel shares, noting that this synergy is a product of stringent hiring practices and the trust clients place in them. A VISION FOR SUSTAINABILITY Vista Real Estate is on an ambitious growth trajectory, driven by a vision beyond traditional property sales. Moguel reveals plans to diversify through specialized consultancy, property management, and development services, establishing new companies that will operate in close association with Vista. “We’re growing in different avenues of service,” he says, outlining expansions into emerging markets, particularly in Belize’s southern regions and island territories. For him, these ventures will broaden Vista’s reach but also ensure that the company can play an integral role in shaping the future of Belize’s real estate sector. Moguel believes sustainability must be an intrinsic part of Belize’s development conversation. “There’s a recognition now of the value of real estate brokers and developers in environmental and sustainability discussions,” he remarks. He praises Belize’s longstanding environmental protection efforts, highlighting how the country is preserving its natural assets. Increasingly, Vista is called upon to participate in discussions with environmental and governmental bodies, offering the business perspective that Moguel feels is essential to balanced growth. “We can mitigate a lot of the impacts,” he explains, noting that Vista is setting a trend toward more responsible, environmentally mindful development across Belize. One of Vista’s proudest contributions has been its involvement in conserving Belize’s natural heritage. “We helped secure over 50,000 acres in the Central Belize Wildlife Corridor,” Moguel shares, noting that Vista acted as consultants and brokers for the acquisition. For him, this achievement represents a critical step toward safeguarding Belize’s unique ecosystems while supporting smart, sustainable development. With Vista guiding these efforts, Moguel expects the company will strike a balance between progress and preservation, helping Belize cultivate a future where economic growth and environmental stewardship go hand in hand. 62 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN VOLUME 11, ISSUE 11
