The Bretzlaff Group has left Douglas Elliman and joined COMPASS.  

Led by Heather Bretzlaff and Craig Bretzlaff, the six-member team will operate out of COMPASS’ Jupiter and Palm Beach Island offices.  

The Bretzlaff Group, which ranked the No. 13 for Douglas Elliman in Florida, specializes in private clubs and waterfront developments, including Admirals Cove, Old Palm Golf Club, Old Marsh Golf Club and Palm Beach Island.  

“We look forward to seeing The Bretzlaff Group integrate and combine their expertise with our talented group of agents at the Jupiter office,” said Jeff Polashuk, regional vice president of COMPASS in Florida. “We believe this collaboration will further solidify our position as industry leaders in Palm Beach County and beyond.”  

Heather Bretzlaff is a Florida-certified general contractor and worked as vice president at G.W. Purucker Homes, while Craig Bretzlaff is a former PGA golf professional.  

The team also includes Scott Handler, a Florida-certified general contractor; Lauren Zitter, previously a vice president at Zillow Home Loans; Suzanne Hasner, a former partner at an insurance consulting firm; and executive assistant Petrina Olson. 

“COMPASS’ position as the largest real estate company in the nation by sales volume provides our team with a unique opportunity to gain market access and insights while working alongside the industry’s top luxury agents across the nation,” Craig Bretzlaff said. “We are extremely excited to join COMPASS and continue furthering our client services and success in Palm Beach County.”
