From the Beltway to the Beach:
Conversation with Jan Brito

Written by Alex Seleznev, MBA, CFP®, CFA | July 1, 2026
Have you ever thought about retiring or moving outside of the USA?
If so, I believe you will enjoy this week's newsletter and recording.
I sat down with my long time client and friend, Jan Brito, for a conversation I think many of you will find interesting.
Jan has been a real estate professional in the DC metro area for over 20 years and also serves clients in the US Virgin Islands. She specializes in helping people navigate some of life's biggest housing transitions.
A few years ago, Jan made one of those transitions herself. It took her a while to plan everything and her goal is to move to St. Croix permanently later this year.
In our conversation, we talk about how she knew it was the right decision, what surprised her about the move and what she would tell anyone thinking about retiring outside of the US.
Jan also shares what her daily life looks like now and whether she would do anything differently if she could take the time back.
It's a candid and honest conversation and I think you will like it!
