We're proud of what this recognition means for our clients.
MIAMI, FL (July 14, 2026) – Fortune Christie's International Real Estate has been recognized as the 2026 Luxury Lifestyle Awards winner for Best Luxury Real Estate Brokerage in Florida. The award reflects the firm's long-standing ability to combine the strength of a global brand with the personal attention and deep South Florida expertise of a local brokerage.
This marks the second time Fortune Christie's International Real Estate has received this recognition, having also won the award in 2024.
The recognition follows an independent evaluation by Luxury Lifestyle Awards, which cited the company's track record, client-centric approach, professionalism, and commitment to delivering exceptional real estate services.
Fortune Christie's International Real Estate has built its reputation by combining deep knowledge of the South Florida market with a relationship-driven culture that places clients at the center of every transaction. As a family-owned brokerage, the company has remained committed to personalized guidance at every stage of a client's real estate journey.
Its affiliation with Christie's International Real Estate complements that approach, giving clients access to one of the world's leading luxury real estate brands and its global network. At the same time, Fortune has preserved the local expertise and personal attention that have defined the brokerage for more than four decades.
"This recognition highlights something that has guided our company from the beginning," said Edgardo Defortuna, CEO of Fortune International Group. "Ours has always been a relationship business. Clients place their trust in the professionals they choose, and earning that trust is a responsibility we never take for granted.”
Ruth Palma, Vice President of Sales for Fortune Christie's International Real Estate, added, "Every client has different goals, and every transaction deserves a personal approach. Our agents take the time to listen, provide honest guidance, and build relationships that often continue well beyond the closing. That commitment to our clients is part of our culture, and I believe this recognition reflects it."
