Every daily choice lays the foundation for the future, and that journey can only be sustained with integrity, passion, and purpose
SANTO DOMINGO – Her soft accent and serene cadence give her away. Yraimis Poueriet, 32, a lawyer by training, wife, mother of two girls, and real estate leader in Punta Cana, grew up with two roots that today converge in her vocation to build a home. The daughter of a Venezuelan mother and a Dominican father, she spent much of her childhood in Venezuela, and although her tone is measured, her voice conveys the strength of someone who learned to stand on her own two feet in a new land.
She arrived in the Dominican Republic in 2015, invited by her aunt Altagracia Poueriet, and she knew from the first day: she was not coming to try her luck, she was coming to settle down, because she had the feeling, not of arriving, but of belonging.
A turning point
The vibrant Punta Cana, then expanding, was not yet the sophisticated market it is today. For many, it was merely synonymous with all-inclusive hotels and the place where Julio Iglesias lived; for her, it represented an opportunity.
His journey in the real estate sector began from the bottom, in administrative positions within a construction company, where he observed, learned, and took notes. He then assumed the responsibility of Master Broker and understood each step as a ladder to be climbed with discipline.
His vision that behind every plan there is a contract and behind every contract, a life project, soon became his personal hallmark, backed by his solid legal training.
Eventually, the challenge of Tu Casa RD, a brand she now represents in Punta Cana and which she feels is her own. "When you talk about the brand, you're also talking about the person," she says, and in her case, that identification is complete.
She defends order as a tool for freedom, limits as an act of respect, and transparency as the foundation of all negotiation. For Yraimis, every operation is more than a transaction: it is an act of trust and a building of the future.
She defines herself as a resilient woman who built her career from scratch, with discipline and authenticity, who doesn't seek to please everyone, but rather consistency. Her trajectory has made her a role model for other women in the sector, especially for those who, like her, have had to carve out a space for themselves in an environment still marked by sexist attitudes.
Concrete woman
Yraimis comes from a generation of working women, both on her mother's and father's side, who taught her that success cannot compromise one's essence. That's why, although for a long time she associated it with material accumulation, today she redefines it: "True achievement is managing your time with intention, accompanying your 10-year-old daughter in her processes and carrying your 1-year-old in your arms without feeling that I am neglecting my professional growth.".
She's what you'd call a "multitasking" woman. She's worked alongside her partner for five years, leads a team, manages the office, studies constantly, and yet she has a clear limit: she doesn't sacrifice peace of mind or essential values.
His story isn't made up of sensational headlines, but of quiet decisions made when there was no applause. It's about long nights of study, strategic meetings, and lessons learned from his own and others' mistakes.
Yraimis has learned to choose herself, to let go of what doesn't support her growth, and to lead from a place of clarity, not complacency. If her daughters read this interview twenty years from now, she would want them to understand that fear is not a sign of regression, but of expansion. That courage doesn't come from having all the answers, but from moving forward amidst uncertainty. That every daily decision builds the future, and that this path must be traveled with integrity, passion, and purpose.
This is said by a woman for whom justice, learned in law classrooms and tested in the marketplace, begins with empathy.
He understands that understanding fears and aspirations, aligning interests, and maintaining open dialogue with customers builds more lasting agreements than any rigid clause.
The local market has changed before his eyes, he says, and he especially understands that the pandemic transformed the buyer's mindset: if before they looked for easier payment options, today the customer seeks quality of life, space, legal security and peace of mind.
At Tu Casa RD, Yraimis has promoted a comprehensive support proposal, along with a solid administrative team, with pre-sales and post-sales areas that provide follow-up before, during and after the purchase.
To achieve this, one must be a responsible advisor. “Being a commission agent is no longer enough,” she asserts, explaining that experience, planning, and rigorous review of titles and sales agreements are, for her, essential minimums.
“We help the client long before they sign,” she explains, and that’s the business’s strategic vision: prioritizing sustainable relationships. This includes the team, as she champions co-creation.
She speaks gratefully of her leaders and mentions, in particular, Wester Hernandez, who challenges her to expand limits she herself did not imagine.
Her leadership is built on internal structure and a long-term vision. She doesn't just pursue closures; she pursues a legacy. That's why she strives to develop women, starting with her daughters, who know how to be firm without losing sensitivity, ambitious without abandoning their values, and free without forgetting their roots.
In that dual nationality, in that soft accent that blends two lands, Yraimis has found her greatest strength: the ability to build a home wherever she decides to settle.
