An out-of-state connection makes a difference even when a brokerage doesn’t have a large presence in South Florida. The Corcoran Group, headquartered in New York City, has just two offices in Palm Beach County — one in Delray Beach and the other in the Town of Palm Beach. Between them, the two offices have just 150 agents. Nevertheless, Corcoran managed to close just over $1 billion in transactions, the fourth highest level in Palm Beach County.
ONE Sotheby’s International, which came in fourth in TRD’s ranking in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, is less than 10 years old. It was founded by Mayi de la Vega in December 2008. Nevertheless, it has assembled a force of 850 agents thanks to recruiting and acquiring three real estate brokerages between 2015 and 2017: South Beach Investment Realty (founded by hotelier Diane Lieberman); Bay Harbor Island-based Crescendo Real Estate; and Aventura-based Turnberry International Realty. “They had a lot of top producing agents and they fit well with the Sotheby’s brand,” said Daniel de la Vega, president of ONE Sotheby’s (and Mayi’s son).

Daniel de la Vega said ONE Sotheby’s regularly interacts with other Sotheby’s International franchises across the world. He’s particularly proud of his partnership with Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty, a top-producing brokerage in Long Island, New York, which employs 750 agents. Thanks to that relationship, de la Vega said, ONE Sotheby’s has been able to reach lots of potential buyers from New York’s tri-state area who are interested in purchasing houses or condos in South Florida. “We probably have the strongest presence when you look at the tri-state area,” de la Vega bragged.

No matter what the state of the market may be, a brokerage is only as good as the talent it employs. Thus, efforts to recruit are a constant and of paramount importance. more
Still, Shuffield said EWM isn’t obnoxious about its recruiting efforts, unlike some other companies he declined to name. “We don’t hound people. We don’t call them relentlessly,” Shuffield said. “Some of our competitors … oh my gosh, they keep calling.” more
