The formerly independently owned and operated franchise of RE/MAX International, LLC, will now do business under the banner of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.

“We have enjoyed working cooperatively with RE/MAX Elite over the past few years,” says Mayi de la Vega, founder and principal of ONE Sotheby’s. “The company and its agents have an excellent reputation and a proven track record of successful high-value real estate transactions. Having their talented and knowledgeable sales professionals join our organization is a great opportunity to expand our market presence.”

The luxury real estate firm, which recently announced it will be opening four new real estate offices in exclusive areas throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties, looks forward to the additional prospects the acquisition will bring as they continue providing exceptional service through its expansion.

“We wanted a luxury boutique environment with a global reputation and network,” says Rose Harris, the former owner and agent of RE/MAX Elite, about the agreement. “We are looking forward to accessing the resources and talents of the world’s leading international luxury real estate brand.”

RE/MAX Elite’s former agents will be based in ONE Sotheby’s International Realty’s new Coral Gables and Miami Beach offices.
