Fernando Levy Hara and Stephan Gietl realized their shared passion for real estate and architecture while attending the Advanced Management Development Program in Real Estate (AMDP) at Harvard University Graduate School of Design, of which they graduated in July 2010. AMDP is exclusively for entrepreneurs and senior-level professionals with at least 15 years of real estate-related experience.

Despite the U.S. experiencing one of the worst economic crises in the last century, Levy Hara and Gietl believes the country will make a strong comeback from the downturn. For their AMDP end-of-program project, the two scholars realized their shared vision for succeeding in a changed real estate climate and developed a business plan that would offer sound investment solutions in a volatile and much riskier business environment.

In 2009, Levy Hara and Gietl co-founded Aventura-based mckafka Development Group, a real estate investment firm specializing in the acquisition of distressed properties by purchasing broken condominiums in default, loans in default and real estate owned bank properties in South Florida. Divisions under the MDG umbrella include:

- mckafka Realty
- mckafka Property Management
- mckafka Development.



Stephan Gietl is a principal and co-founder of Aventura,FL-based mckafka Development Group. He serves as the Chief Finance Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the company.
