ABOUT US

Hello, we are SMQ
Welcome!

SMQ is an abbreviation derived from the word “semuquì,” which means “here we are” in the Ligurian language, and it holds great significance in our history.

In 1871, a young merchant and real estate entrepreneur, Giacomo Macera, arrived in Argentina from Genoa, Italy, and purchased his first property in the city of Rosario. From that moment on, a long journey began, systematically continued by subsequent generations of the family, involving real estate investments, including the construction of significant French-style buildings and a prominent hotel. Today, many of these properties are considered valuable architectural heritage in the cities of Buenos Aires and Rosario. The family also dedicated themselves to the management of residential, commercial, and rural properties.

Over the years, as the family office expanded and external clients came on board, new lines of business and services were incorporated to provide comprehensive solutions to investment and management needs. This is how SMQ has evolved into its present structure.

Our mission is to assist individuals and companies in managing their wealth, properties, and businesses in the most efficient and profitable way, offering the best administration, consulting, and real estate management services.

We are an organization whose main objective is to provide exemplary real estate and administration solutions. We do so with experience, transparency, confidentiality, security, and professionalism. We have a talented and dynamic team with a significant track record in renowned companies.
