ONE Sotheby’s International Realty has appointed Daniel de la Vega as chief executive officer, formalizing a leadership transition at the Florida-based luxury brokerage.
De la Vega — who joined the firm in 2008 — has spent 17 years with the company and will continue to serve as president in addition to his new role as CEO.
The brokerage said he will oversee strategy across its brokerage, new development and commercial operations, as well as guide regional expansion within Florida and into other markets.
Founder Mayi de la Vega will move into the role of executive chair and remain actively involved in the company.
According to the firm, she will continue to focus on strategic initiatives, company culture and global positioning — while maintaining a hands-on role in select new development projects and working directly with agents.
“My vision for ONE Sotheby’s International Realty has always been to create a company defined by integrity, excellence and a culture where our agents can truly thrive,” Mayi de la Vega said. “Daniel has been integral to that foundation from day one. His leadership, discipline and deep understanding of our business have shaped our growth and strengthened our culture, and there is truly no one better equipped to guide us into our next era.
“We remain committed to ensuring our firm continues to lead with purpose, innovation and an unwavering dedication to our clients and our leading luxury agents whose professionalism and passion have defined this company’s success.”
ONE Sotheby’s International Realty ranks among the highest-producing affiliates within the Sotheby’s International Realty network and reported $7.3 billion in 2024 transaction volume, according to RealTrends Verified.
As CEO and president, Daniel de la Vega will focus on talent development, operational efficiency and technology integration, the company said.
His responsibilities will also include expanding ancillary services such as insurance, title, mortgage and property management — as well as strengthening coordination between the brokerage and its new development business.
“It’s an honor to continue working with Mayi and the strongest executive leadership team in our industry to build upon the vision and legacy she has created,” Daniel de la Vega said. “Our focus remains absolute: to define the highest standard of luxury real estate service, to provide seamless experiences for our clients, and to empower our agents with the best tools and resources in the industry.
“We look forward to further investing in our team, expanding our global reach, and capturing the tremendous growth opportunities that lie ahead for Florida’s east Coast and beyond.”
ONE Sotheby’s International Realty operates 31 offices along Florida’s east coast — from Miami and Key Biscayne north to Vero Beach and Cocoa Village. With the acquisition of Anywhere Real Estate, the firm is now part of Compass International Holdings.
