HOW MAYI DE LA VEGA FOUND SUCCESS IN SOUTH FLORIDA’S LUXURY REAL ESTATE MARKET

My story begins like many Miamians. My family fled Cuba when I was three years old, along with hundreds of thousands of other exiles in hopes of a better life and future.

My family settled in a small apartment, and as a child I would tag along with my mother as she cleaned offices. I remember we only had enough money to take the bus one way from the grocery store and my father would sing the whole way home to keep us entertained.

 WHO’S WHO WOMEN OF INFLUENCE

 With Covid now, what’s your biggest challenge to balance personal life and running a business?

When the business environment started to shift in the wake of COVID-10, my focus went to the almost 1,000 ONE Sotheby’s International Realty agents that needed our team’s support. Our team’s every thought was about leveraging our technology and tools to keep our agents productive. We reinvented the business in a matter of weeks, boosting our virtual marketing efforts, launching seven new tech tools in less than 90 days. We promoted more marketing content than ever, and communicated on a daily basis with agents. I am so proud of our agent’s resilience during this time and I know this experience is makings us smarter and stronger for the future.
