Say Yes to the Journey: Nemesie Esteves

Say Yes to the Journey: Nemesie Esteves

Author: Veronica Malolos, CCIM July 11, 2025 Duration: 22:15

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Nemesie Esteves, CCIM, co-founder of Bison Construction, whose journey from humble beginnings to industry leadership is powered by bold decisions and relentless curiosity. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Orlando, Nemesie grew up on job sites, helping with family construction projects and learning firsthand the value of transformation—of spaces and of self.

After earning her undergraduate degree, Nemesie and her husband sold everything and traveled the world—from hiking national parks in a Toyota Matrix to backpacking Spain’s Camino de Santiago and managing an eco-hotel project in Thailand. But with their sights set on legacy, they returned home to Florida to launch Bison Construction, a company inspired by both their journey and their roots.

Nemesie shares how saying “yes” to every opportunity—whether founding a business, working for a developer, or jumping into commercial real estate—helped her grow her skills and her confidence. Her pursuit of excellence led her to earn her Master’s in Real Estate, a General Contractor’s license, and the CCIM designation—not for the credentials alone, but to ensure that her work would speak for itself.

Today, she mentors the next generation of professionals and reflects on how meaningful it is to empower others just starting out.

“Don’t wait for permission.” - Nemesie Esteves, CCIM

The discussions naturally span categories from concrete business tactics to broader cultural and societal themes, reflecting the multifaceted lives these influencers lead. This podcast serves as a resource for anyone seeking authentic perspective, emphasizing that influence is cultivated through resilience and insight as much as through achievement.
