In 2020, The Jills Zeder Group exceeded $1 billion* in sales, becoming one of the first real estate teams in the nation to reach this milestone in just one year, according to REAL Trends data for non-team owned brokerages from 2015–2019. This extraordinary achievement breaks all of The Jills Zeder Group’s records and solidifies its position as the foremost expert in South Florida luxury real estate. The Jills Zeder Group sold over 180 transaction sides and listed more than 160 properties, including both single family homes and condominiums, in 2020. The Jills Zeder Group is affiliated with Coldwell Banker Realty in Florida and the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury International Luxury Alliance.
The overall state of the housing market in 2020 led to a mass exodus of buyers from big cities across the U.S. to South Florida, and The Jills Zeder Group elevated its services to lead the movement to work with these clients, both locally and remotely. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic leading to uncertainty in international transactions and a housing shortage in Southeast Florida, The Jills Zeder Group thrived in 2020. They harnessed a hot, rebounding real estate market to assist urbanites experiencing lockdown orders who were looking to relocate to South Florida.
Members of The Jills Zeder Group continue to close many high-profile deals and utilize their impressive marketing approach and technology to close deals on a fully remote basis when needed. Some of The Jills Zeder Group’s impressive sales throughout 2020 included stunning properties in Indian Creek Island, Gables Estates, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Cocoplum, Snapper Creek, Hammock Lakes, Ponce Davis, Pinecrest, Miami Beach, Fisher Island, Star Island, La Gorce Island, Sunset Islands, and Palm Beach.
In June 2020, the REAL Trends America’s Best Real Estate Professionals report recognized The Jills Zeder Group as the No. 1 large team in Miami, No. 1 team in Florida and the South, and No. 2 large team in the U.S., based on 2019 sales volume. This was based on The Jills Zeder Group achieving $644,315,108** in closed sales volume / 148.30 closed transaction sides in 2019, within the “Teams of 11+” category.
The Jills Zeder Group, a powerhouse team of real estate experts, continued to expand in 2020 and unveiled a sleek rebrand, mirroring the group’s evolution and standing as the leader in Miami-Dade luxury real estate. The new green and white logo featuring three palm trees represents The Jills Zeder Group’s three families: Jill Hertzberg and her children Danny Hertzberg and Hillary Hertzberg, sisters Jill Eber and Felise Eber, and Judy Zeder and her children Nathan Zeder and Kara Zeder Rosen.
