Elsie Gattas

A lifetime Miami resident and second-generation Realtor with nearly 15 years of experience, Elsie Gattas is passionate about her hometown and possesses a deep understanding of the local market, culture, and lifestyle. As the former Principal Broker and owner of her own self-run brokerage, she recently switched to Compass, where she combines her self-starting drive and extensive knowledge of the industry with the world’s leading-edge real estate technology and service offering.

Elsie operates with her client’s goals at the forefront of every conversation. Her expertise in market trends, past sales, conflict resolution, and strategic marketing allows her to get the best deals for buyers and sellers in the quickest amount of time. "A real estate transaction is one of the biggest financial decisions a person can make in their lifetime, and it’s an honor for me to be able to help families and investors maximize their potential and achieve their dreams," she says. Matched with her customer-centric and relationship-driven approach, she builds connections that continue past the transaction, serving as a lifetime resource and friend for everyone she has the pleasure of working with.

Her marketing strategy is further enhanced with the collaboration of her husband, Alonso Aliaguilla, a videographer who founded Meridian Studios at Compass, a division that focuses on helping agents market themselves through video content. He is also a drone operator, allowing him to shoot aerial footage of Elsie’s listings.

As a theatre minor during her undergrad, Elsie enjoys spending some of her free time acting in commercial ads and TV shows. She also enjoys going on walks around Coconut Grove on the weekends, exercising with her girlfriends, and spending time with her husband and daughter.
