Michael Martinez has been named the top individual agent at One Sotheby’s International Realty, reclaiming the title with $176 million in sales volume for the past year. The Coconut Grove-based brokerage announced its leading producers for 2025, highlighting achievements in individual, small team, and large team categories.

Dennis Carvajal followed Martinez in second place. Carvajal also ranked 23rd on The Real Deal’s 2025 list of Miami-Dade County brokers with $104.5 million in on-market sales. Jonathan Vega took third place among individual agents.

For small teams, Eddy Martinez and Roland Ortiz’s R/E Team led with $185 million in sales. The team was involved in brokering a record-setting $50 million purchase of a waterfront Coral Gables estate by musician The Weeknd last October. Joelle Oiknine’s Joelle & Team ranked second among small teams, while the Nachtigall Team, led by Brigitte Nachtigall, placed third.

In the large team category, the O’Dare Boga Dobson Group from Vero Beach secured first place again with $150 million in sales. This group joined One Sotheby’s from Premier Estate Properties in 2022 as part of the company’s statewide expansion strategy and has since maintained its status as the brokerage’s top-producing large team. Stephanie Moss Dandridge’s group based in Melbourne came in second, while Mirce Curkoski and Albert Justo’s Waterfront Team placed third; this team also ranked 24th on The Real Deal’s 2025 list with $102.8 million in on-market deals.

One Sotheby’s International Realty operates 30 offices and employs more than 1,300 agents throughout Florida. Founded in 2008 by Mayi de la Vega, leadership transitioned to her son Daniel de la Vega as CEO earlier this year after a period of succession planning. Mayi de la Vega now serves as executive chair.

Daniel de la Vega outlined future growth plans focusing on mergers and acquisitions both within Florida and beyond. He also mentioned expanding ancillary services such as mortgage, title, and property management offerings.

The firm relaunched its sports and entertainment division last December under managing director Chris Anthony to better serve athletes and celebrities.

“It’s not so much that we’re seeing an increase in demand from a transactional point of view,” Daniel de la Vega told TRD at the time. “We’re seeing demand for more expensive real estate.”
