Founded in 1983 by Edgardo Defortuna, one of Miami’s most revered real estate visionaries, Fortune International Realty (FIR) began as a single office in Brickell to accommodate the sales and property management of the very first Fortune development, Jade Brickell. The family owned and operated brokerage soon expanded to 20 local and international locations since its inception. Fortune International Realty, a division of Fortune International Group, is recognized industry wide for consistently delivering a sophisticated and comprehensive collection of sales, leasing, new development marketing, property management and private lending services. Fortified by a powerful global network, its portfolio attracts a distinguished roster of clients seeking real estate opportunities and investment sales throughout Miami, South Florida, Europe and Latin America. In 2022 Fortune has joined forces with Christie’s International Real Estate, the world’s premier luxury real estate brand and network. To reflect this enhanced global reach and luxury capabilities as the exclusive Christie’s International Real Estate Affiliate for Miami-Dade and Broward counties, the company is now known as Fortune Christie’s International Real Estate.
