Douglas Elliman adds Fortune’s Pamela Ibarguen

Douglas Elliman Florida has hired former Fortune agent Pamela Ibarguen. “Douglas Elliman’s connection with New York and the northeast region was a strong draw for me,” Ibarguen said. “Much of my clientele, about 50 percent, comes from the northeast.” Ibarguen, who deals heavily with the South American market, including Mexico and Brazil, is a past president of the Key Biscayne Chamber of Commerce. “Ibarguen’s extensive knowledge of the luxury market and local scene, negotiating skills and experience in working with high-end clients will help to fortify the Douglas Elliman brand within Miami’s most sought-after neighborhoods,” said Vanessa Grout, CEO of Douglas Ellliman Florida. — Alexander Britell
