Lisa Molero
Born and raised in Hannover, Germany, Lisa moved to South Florida in 2017 after completing her curriculum in product design at the Hannover University of Applied Sciences and Arts. Having worked for various luxury brands in the automotive industry, Lisa demonstrates an ardent work ethic by virtue of extensive customer service experience and a refreshingly upbeat attitude. Although she may be a freshly minted realtor, Lisa is by no means a newcomer to the real estate scene. Since arriving in South Florida, she has gained over five years of experience managing vacation rental homes while working to appease an eclectic clientele. Fluency in German, English, and Italian has also helped broaden her sphere of influence whilst serving clients internationally.
After moving to the United States, Lisa initially interned as a brand ambassador and marketing assistant for SkY230 aka SkY360; a luxury townhouse development located in Lauderdale by the Sea. She expanded social media outreach, refined the brand for broader appeal, and successfully structured advertisements in order to target a more suitable audience. This included a design overhaul of marketing materials, guiding onsite tours for potential buyers, answering inquiries pertaining to building specifications and pricing (e.g. floor plans, contract details, etc.), and brand representation at various real estate events. Her internship quickly turned into full-time employment and subsequently led to a successful venture into the vacation rental industry. Learning from local real estate agents and developers through this process has influenced Lisa’s approach when it comes to understanding the nuances of real estate in residential and vacation rental markets.
Lisa approaches every day equipped with two defining traits that set her apart; her exuberant charm and tenacious drive to make dreams a reality. This desire for customer satisfaction comes from an innate ability to blend empathy, perseverance, and a keen eye for design and aesthetics. Her passion for marketing has developed over years of studying innovative techniques in product and graphic design which have translated well into the real estate sector. She regularly employs these tactics to pair prospective clients with properties that fit their specific needs. Lisa’s aptitude for social media exposure has been an invaluable skill set that has further refined her marketing proficiency and has attracted a broad range of potential buyers from all over the world. Being the “new face on the scene” isn’t an obstacle for Lisa; rather, it’s a challenge that she meets head-on with enthusiasm.
