Fajardo, who is one of the incorporators of the business also took and passed the broker’s examination and joined the couple in managing the business. She eventually put up her own realty firm called The Land Circle Realty which was later incorporated to what is now the Royal Peninsula, Inc. Development & Construction. At present, she’s also a licensed Real Estate Appraiser.
