Carolina Andretto

I came from Brazil in 1998 for a language program at UCSD, and while I was here I began helping friends who were also trying to move to San Diego but struggled to find housing. That need quickly became clear, and just a few years later I founded my company. I secured a contract with UCSD early on, which helped establish the business, and since then I’ve expanded my work to include SDSU and several other language schools.

Today, I specialize in housing placement for international students, visiting scholars, and researchers, as well as homestay arrangements with American families so they can experience daily life in the U.S.

In aviation, I entered the industry about three years ago through Pace Group Aviation, where I served as general manager overseeing procurement for aircraft parts and aircraft. After about a year and a half, I transitioned to working independently. Now I focus mainly on sourcing aircraft, acting as an intermediary: I receive inquiries, verify their legitimacy, confirm the connection between buyer and end user, and ensure there are no unnecessary broker chains. Once everything is validated, I connect the buyer and seller to move the transaction forward, and I remain involved throughout the process.
