In the fiercely competitive world of ultra-luxury real estate along Florida’s East Coast, the continued migration of wealth is reshaping the region’s most coveted coastal communities—and the stakes have never been higher. At the forefront of this momentum are the global real estate advisors at ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, driving landmark results that set new benchmarks across nearly every major ZIP code from Key Biscayne to Amelia Island.
Across the region, advisors delivered headline-making achievements, from record-breaking waterfront estates to rare trophy penthouses. Further north, Joelle Oiknine established a new condominium record in Bal Harbour with the closing of a $30 million penthouse—an achievement that underscores both the strength of the market and the firm’s unmatched reach.
The impact of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty extends far beyond individual transactions. What truly distinguishes the firm is its unparalleled ability to connect advisors with a global network of elite clientele. As the exclusive real estate sponsor of the VIP Windward Club at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and a show sponsor of Art Basel Miami Beach, the brokerage has positioned itself at the heart of luxury, art, and design culture. These partnerships provide advisors with privileged access to the world’s most discerning buyers and collectors, translating into many of the region’s highest-profile sales.
The company’s influence is further amplified by its industry-leading Development Division, which represents more than 17 luxury residential projects showcased at The Real Deal Forum and at major international events. This expanded footprint reinforces the firm’s leadership across every segment of the high-end market.
Together, these strategic initiatives and extraordinary transactions highlight the strength of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty’s advisors—professionals known for their ability to identify, market, and negotiate some of the most significant properties in the region. As one of the highest-producing Sotheby’s International Realty affiliates nationwide, and recognized by RealTrends Game Changers as one of the fastest-growing brokerages in the country, the firm’s success is powered by skill, dedication, and global reach.
“These accomplishments represent the remarkable passion and drive that our advisors pour into every transaction, consistently setting a new standard for what success looks like in luxury real estate,” said Daniel de la Vega, President of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. “Their professionalism, market knowledge, and relentless pursuit of excellence are unmatched.”
Supported by the global strength of the Sotheby’s International Realty brand and deep local expertise, the firm’s advisors excel at understanding the nuances of the market and anticipating the needs of both buyers and sellers. Their access to off-market opportunities, ability to structure complex deals, and concierge-level service ensures seamless execution at every stage. From prime waterfront estates to rare penthouses, their mastery of the ultra-luxury sector is evident in a year defined by standout sales across nearly every major submarket.
“I am incredibly proud of our advisors and what they continue to achieve across Florida’s East Coast,” said Mayi de la Vega, Founder and CEO of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. “Their ability to connect extraordinary homes with a global network of luxury buyers is what truly sets them apart and reinforces our position as the leading voice of luxury real estate in Florida and beyond.”
Among the most notable achievements of the year was a landmark off-market sale in one of South Florida’s most exclusive waterfront enclaves—one of the highest-priced residential transactions ever recorded in the region. The advisor behind the deal described the approach succinctly: “In luxury real estate, it’s about understanding the client’s lifestyle, not just the property,” they said. “We curated the entire experience, ensuring confidentiality and access to exactly what the buyer was seeking.”
Another historic moment came with the closing of a $50 million waterfront estate in Coral Gables—a transaction that set a new all-time record for the area and underscored the firm’s dominance in Miami’s elite coastal corridors. “Deals of this caliber require foresight and trust,” the advisor said. “We work tirelessly behind the scenes, leveraging our network and strategic marketing to showcase properties on a global scale and create seamless transactions for everyone involved.”
Through visionary leadership, global reach, and a commitment to excellence, ONE Sotheby’s International Realty continues to redefine what is possible in Florida’s ultra-luxury real estate market—one record at a time.
