2023 Prestigious Women Awards Honoree: Mayi de la Vega

Mayi de la Vega is a Cuban-American real estate powerhouse, industry innovator, and the first-ever Cuban female Sotheby’s franchise owner. Her family immigrated from Cuba when she was just a child, and after hard work and perseverance, she eventually founded ONE Sotheby’s International Realty–the No. 1 brokerage on Florida’s East Coast–during the depths of one of our country’s worst recessions. De la Vega had a vision, believed in herself and never gave up. Under her leadership, the company has flourished to 28 offices backed by a global network that spans 25,000 associates in 79 countries and territories. Ranked as the Top Real Estate Brokerage in Miami and recognized as one of the highest-producing Sotheby’s International Realty affiliates worldwide, ONE SIR produces an annual sales volume in excess of $8.1 billion. Her influence in the real estate world extends beyond business – she leads with love and compassion and is truly someone who should be recognized for her leadership and unwavering dedication to empowering those around her.
