Besides being fun and easy to work with, Monica Betancourt gives each client, regardless of the size of their transaction, the artisan service expected from a top-producing Realtor. “I make a personal connection with my clients to understand their lifestyle and their wants and needs as if they were my own,” says Betancourt, president of The Monica Betancourt Group and vice president of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty.

Betancourt assists buyers, sellers and relocation clients with single-family homes, condominiums and land in Coral Gables, South Miami/High Pines, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Coconut Grove and Key Biscayne. With sellers, she sets realistic expectations about pricing and explains the importance of maintaining and presenting their property to make the best impression on buyers every time they see it. With buyers, she makes sure all of their qualifications, such as mortgage pre-approvals, are properly documented and helps them understand the market, as well as how to make their offer highly competitive.

A resident of Miami since 1971, Betancourt has lived in Colombia, Brazil and El Salvador. Fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese, she finds her background has given her an insider’s perspective of how cultural differences affect buyers’ wants, needs and attitudes about “the perfect home.” She also has firsthand experience with the challenges of international relocation, a big factor in Miami real estate.

With its talented team, The Monica Betancourt Group in 2020 more than doubled its sales from the previous year and had the largest number of closings for the small-team category at BHHS EWM Realty.

Betancourt is a member of Master Brokers Forum, the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals, the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce, Chamber South and the International Council at Baptist Health System.
