Leaders in Miami’s coastal region align with South Florida’s growing luxury real estate firm.

Miami, Florida (PRWEB) April 10, 2013 - Beth Butler, President and COO of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, announced today that The Cherry Group, perennially ranked in the top one percent of all realtors nationwide, has joined the firm.

With more than 20 years of experience, The Cherry Group is led by Sylvia Cherry and Gary Hecht. The team is recognized among the top 100 realtors in Florida, and specializes in Miami's coastal region, including Miami Beach and its islands, Key Biscayne, Coconut Grove and Coral Gables.

Cherry and Hecht are Certified Negotiations Specialists and are founding members of The Luxury Home Marketing Council. Additionally, Cherry is a Certified Residential Specialist and member of The Master Broker Forum, while Hecht is an Accredited Buyer’s Representative.

Cherry, a native of Cuba, and Hecht have a deep expertise in the Hispanic market, serving both local and South American clientele, and know how to effectively reach this niche demographic. Prior to embarking in real estate, Hecht was a successful public relations and marketing professional, including serving as founder and director of The Bravo Group, the first international, full-service advertising and marketing agency serving the Hispanic market.

As active members of the Miami community, Cherry has served the children of Miami for many years as a Guardian ad Litem, a capacity in which she is charged with representing the best interests of minors. Hecht, who was elected to The Coconut Grove Village Council for four years and served as a Council Chairman, holds a seat on The City of Miami's Historic and Environmental Preservation Board.

“The Cherry Group’s record of sales achievement, superb client and marketing services, and multicultural perspective align perfectly with the ONE Sotheby’s International Realty brand,” said Butler. “We are delighted to welcome them as an integral part of our team and look forward to their continued success.”

“We believe in bringing the highest level of personal attention to our listings, and ONE Sotheby’s International Realty demands of its agents the same service and marketing standards that we expect of ourselves,” added Cherry.
