EXPERIENCE OVERVIEW
Basri is a unique individual—exemplary of true entrepreneurial talent—with a singular ability to motivate, inspire, and identify the talent and resources needed to get a job successfully completed. With an indefatigable work ethic and passionate enthusiasm, Basri already has an impressive record of success, in the restaurant and other industries, despite his young age. The restaurant business is what gave Basri the start and love of the Real Estate business by accruing the property, remodling, opening the operation and put in place a quick sale with comibined real estate and business.
By his late twenties, Basri had already opened four successful restaurants of his own. The first was located in Barrington, IL, and was owned and operated by Basri from 1992-1996. From 1996-1999, he followed on his early success with three other high-end family-styled restaurants, located in Madison, Wis., and Elgin, IL. Demonstrating his ability to quickly reach results, all were opened within six months of inception, and all were subsequently sold for a substantial profit. From 2001 to 2005, Basri turned his attention to central Illinois, where he created a concept of bringing fine dining and service to traditional family restaurant markets, providing an affordable option that still offered more sophisticated style and service. His two restaurants, The Range (El Paso, IL) and The Park (Bloomington, IL) were sold in 2006 for a profit. During this time, Basri was also featured on a weekly morning news program, bringing his infectious enthusiasm for good food and good times to the airwaves.
Since moving to Punta Mita, Mexico in November 2006, Basri has been involved in the resort real estate business in this area, initially as top-performing sales executive and director of sales of the Los Veneros condominium project from initial launch of project, personally generating over $18,000,000 in sales and overseeing total sales in excess of $49,000,000 in its first year. In addition, Basri has provided consulting services to a variety of other area projects.
As an entrepreneur who believes in diversification, Basri’s ventures extend into the independent mortgage brokerage business and the importation and sale of fine Persian rugs, in addition to the restaurant and real estate industries. Over the years, he has established an impressive network of professional contacts throughout the United States, Latin America, Europe and Middle East. Basri enjoys taking on new challenges and seeing them to a successful completion, working to achieve a rapid turnaround.
