A seasoned sales person with a reputation for excelling at what he does, Juan Leal joins Douglas Elliman Florida after a successful career in the wireless industry and working for other big box realty firms. But he says he chose to continue growing his career at Elliman Florida because of the company’s exceptional status in New York and its remarkable respect for clients and sales agents, “Douglas Elliman Florida offers the best packages to sales agents,” Leal notes, “Everyone at the company has a great attitude and every one is ready to work and work hard.”

Juan knows the benefits of hard work. As a Business-to-Business sales agent with Sprint PCS, he was rewarded with escalating responsibilities that eventually led to him running an office with 20 agents reporting to him. Although it was “tough,” he says, his dedication and hard work made him an outstanding success in this competitive commission-based field. It’s that type of resourcefulness and commitment to excellence that Juan brings to Elliman Florida. “I have a very focused client service outlook,” he emphasizes, “I very quickly zero in on what my clients want and make sure I save them time and money by efficiently getting them in to see the properties they want to see and can afford.”

Juan’s areas of expertise include the Flamingo condominium complex on South Beach. Known for its spectacular views and diverse residents, the Flamingo recently launched an ambitious condominium conversion project that offers current residents and interested buyers and investors incredible bargains for its 1-2 and 3-bedroom apartments, many of which face the Bay and downtown Miami. His other specialties are the South of Fifth neighborhood, the Brickell corridor of downtown Miami as well as pre-foreclosures and short sales.

In his rare spare time, Juan loves to scuba dive, snowboard, skate and play football and basketball. He is also an avid amateur photographer.
