Nelson Gonzalez

Ranked in the top 0.5 percent of national real estate professionals, Nelson Gonzalez, Senior Vice President of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty, has earned that distinction with deep market understanding, commitment to excellence, and peerless client relationships. Intimate knowledge of Miami Beach history—from its 90’s Art Deco renaissance to its status as a sought-after destination for high-net-worth individuals worldwide—is key to Nelson’s practice.

Nelson has closed on over $4 Billion in sales across a 35-year career of marketing and selling Miami Beach’s finest luxury homes – and yearly sales exceeding $150 million. Nelson is ranked #1 individual companywide for the last 4 years, and #5 individual in the Berkshire Hathaway network, globally, for 2023. There are many significant transactions brokered by Nelson. In 2024, Nelson sold 3 waterfront properties over $20,000,000, including the second most expensive home in Golden Beach, 263 Ocean Blvd - closing at $34 million, where he brokered the deal between the seller and buyer. In 2021, he sold the former waterfront mansion of Al Capone, twice – the first time at $10.75 million and a second time at $15.5 million. In 2019, Nelson marketed 2 adjacent North Bay Road properties offered by two separate sellers, selling to one buyer for $35 million. In 2016, he facilitated the sale between the seller and buyer, Ransom Everglades School, of 3551 Main Highway in Coconut Grove for $34.6 million, as well as 2015’s $33 million sale of 5800 North Bay Road to Phil Collins.

Nelson’s portfolio comprises exceptional listings throughout Miami Beach’s most exclusive communities—from the Sunset Islands, Palm and Hibiscus islands to Miami Beach’s Millionaire’s Row (North Bay Road) and Pine Tree Drive. Clients routinely return to Nelson for later transactions—drawn to his negotiating skills, uncompromising standards, and exemplary personal attention. Over the course of his decorated career, Nelson has become a trusted resource for top press outlets nationwide—regularly featured in WSJ, NYT, NYP, TRD, Miami Herald, and Mansion Global, among countless others.

Community involvement is also a topmost priority for Nelson. He is a member of the Miami Beach Police Athletic League and actively participates in efforts to increase Miami Beach’s less fortunate families. Nelson is an athlete and an avid cyclist cycling 80 to 100 miles per week.
