"Luis knew I had waited 10 years for this penthouse to come on the market and he wasn't going to let anything keep me from living my dream.

"I took a chance when I listed my home with Luis. I had never met him, but he was recommended by a neighbor. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Selling oneā€™s home is stressful, but having Luis represent my interests minimized the stressā€”he knows the market, he has an appropriate amount of self-confidence, he can read people, he communicates well, and heā€™s wise beyond his years. Not only this, but heā€™s a very kind person. I couldnā€™t be happier with the experience of working with Luis. If youā€™d like me to remove or add anything, please let me know. Iā€™ve bought and sold many properties over the years, and youā€™re still the best agent Iā€™ve had by far. I looked at your website, and Iā€™m really happy to see how well youā€™re doing. Not a surprise!" -Robert Bannister

About Luis
Luis Gonell has made a remarkable impact in the real estate industry, despite entering it just eight years ago. Within the past two years alone, he has sold over $100 million worth of real estate in his home country, the Dominican Republic. Luis's journey began when he started working at a local bank during his summer breaks at the age of 13. By 16, he had transitioned to sales, dressing prominent businessmen for a suit manufacturing company. This experience ignited his desire to be on the other side, the one purchasing the suits. Motivated by this newfound drive, Luis secured a position at one of the top banks in the Dominican Republic.

In 2005, Luis stumbled upon an episode of "Million Dollar Agent" featuring Carlos Justo, the best real estate agent in Miami at that time. This served as a turning point for Luis, as he realized that real estate was his true calling. From that moment forward, every step Luis took was a deliberate move to create the career momentum he now enjoys.

Leaving behind his family, friends, and everything familiar, Luis embarked on a journey to the United States. He started working in Naples, taking on various roles such as a busboy, pool attendant, janitor, and food runner, making the most of every opportunity that came his way. His work ethic was unwavering, as he would walk over two hours every morning to make his 5:00 am shift, and then walk the same distance back home, only to repeat the process the next day. Building a robust social network was essential for Luis to establish himself as an agent. Recognizing his strengths in connecting with people and excelling athletically, he moved to Miami, where he began teaching private tennis lessons. Despite having no prior experience in teaching tennis and no clients initially, Luis would be at the court every day at 7:00 am, meeting people, training, and networking. Over four years, he amassed a network of over 400 clients, teaching seven days a week in Miami and the Hamptons during the summer, forging countless connections along the way.

While training public figures, celebrities, and business executives, Luis continued to expand his network while working towards his goal. He would often tell his clients, "I'm always on the wrong side of the net. I want to be the gentleman taking the tennis lessons."

During his first year in real estate, Luis dedicated himself to studying the Miami Beach Real Estate market extensively. He analyzed floor plans, cost per square foot, and the duration properties had been on the market, becoming an expert in the ultra-luxury Miami Beach Real Estate market. This meticulous planning, preparation, and unwavering dedication paid off. In just one year, Luis Gonell represented the buyer of the largest penthouse at the W Hotel, which he sold for $10.2 million, breaking the record in Miami-Dade County for the highest-priced condo per square foot ever sold in 2017. Currently, Luis is ranked 17th out of 66,000 agents in Miami, according to the Real Deal. He consistently closes multi-million-dollar deals, with his most recent accomplishment being a $13.2 million sale in one of the most prestigious buildings in Surfside. Recognizing that Miami Beach real estate is a seasonal market, Luis takes a proactive approach to his business. He spends his summers in Monaco, Cannes, St. Tropez, and the Hamptons, meeting with clients and expanding his network. In the winter, he travels to New York City and other major cities that contribute to the Miami Beach market. Reflecting on his career achievements, Luis emphasizes the importance of having big dreams but also emphasizes the need to take bold actions to turn those dreams into reality. Drawing from his personal experience, he understands precisely what it takes to get ahead and achieve remarkable results, and he is delighted to offer that expertise to every client he serves.
