Our Story
Grupo EPI Original Founders
We launched Grupo EPI in 2023, originally named “El Peñon Investimentos” — aka EPI. Our childhood school is “El Peñón”, and we wanted to offer a tribute to our beginnings and to the values that shaped us while cementing our life long friendship.
Our mission is simple: to offer independent, honest real estate advice to investors from all backgrounds, while treating every client with the warmth and trust we extend to fellow El Peñón alumni.
After years of helping friends and family to invest in Real Estate in Europe, it was time to make our work official. We have done the work: learned the place as we are locals, built a trusted network of partners, and developed deep, first-hand expertise.
At EPI, we guide you like a trusted friend in two essential ways:
First, we help you identify the right investment opportunities by doing the work that others often skip: building detailed financial models and cash flow analyses so that the return on investment is clear from the start (common sense right? Well, not that common).
Second, once the opportunity is validated, we help you bring it to life, from financing, property scouting, and negotiations to navigating all the legal, tax, and operational steps. With EPI, you are supported at every stage, ensuring your investment is stress-free, well-informed, well-executed, and fully aligned with your goals.
