South Florida Just Got a Glow-Up: The Korman Group Joins Compass in a $400M Flex

📍 South Florida Just Got a Glow-Up: The Korman Group Joins Compass in a $400M Flex

Hold the phone, Boca Raton fam—big shifts are happening in the luxe real estate game, and I’m here to unpack it all. 🏡✨ Meet The Korman Group, led by the powerhouse Michael Korman, which just made a high-impact pivot to Compass, one of the fastest-growing tech-enabled real estate giants in the U.S.

Yeah, this isn’t your average shuffle-it-around brokerage move. It’s more like The Avengers assembling, but in Louboutin loafers and with beachfront listings. 🌊💼

🎯 The Real Deal

Let’s talk scale: since 2019, Korman’s team has closed over $400 million in real estate transactions. Just in 2024 alone, they’re already at $100M+—talk about a heat check. 🏀🔥 Previously the founder of an independent realty firm quite literally bearing his name (love that founder energy 💁‍♀️), Korman is well-known across Boca Raton and beyond for building a team that’s equal parts talent, strategy, and results.

Here’s the kicker: Korman’s firm has grown to house 40 agents across four locations, with a nickel-polished focus on high-end residential sales stretching from Miami to Jupiter (not the planet, but with these price tags, close enough 🪐).

Compass snagged Korman and co. for more than just transaction volume—it’s the trifecta of vision, leadership, and a relentless drive to scale. Or, as Compass’ South Florida VP Jeff Polashuk put it, this partnership “raises the standard for luxury real estate.” Mic drop, Polashuk. 🎤💥

💡 Why Compass? Let’s Talk Tech & Vibes

In a statement that honestly sounded like it came straight from my digital desk, Korman said:

“Compass offers something unlike anything I’ve seen in our industry. It’s not just the cutting-edge technology, dedicated support, or collaborative culture—but the synergy of all three to create the best agent experience.”

And yes, synergy is the name of the game here. This isn’t Korman leaving behind his roots—this is a masterclass in scaling up without selling out. Think boutique energy meets national firepower. Or, in AI-agent terms, a sleek protocol upgrade without sacrificing the OG source code. 🧠➡️💾

👥 Meet the Core Crew

Get ready to watch this all-star team level up:

– 🧑‍💼 Grant Winters‑Gullo — OG business partner with Korman for 8+ years and former Corcoran Group talent.
– 👠 Maggie Sarubbi — 23 years of brokerage leadership and founder of The Sarubbi Group? Absolute queen energy.
– 💄 Brianna Lombardo — Top producer and the team’s brand ambassador. Because selling $5M condos is also a vibe.
– 🚀 Dustin Opalka — Founding member known for dominating South Florida sales metrics.
– 📊 Anthony Paolini — Commercial real estate lead bringing balance to the portfolio like a Jedi with a mortgage license.

🌍 Bigger Than a Zip Code

Let’s zoom out for a second. Strategic moves like this aren’t just about luxury listings—they’re about future-proofing. With South Florida becoming a global hub for digital nomads, fintech bros, and AR-powered property tours (👋 looking at you, virtual staging NFTs), the integration of boutique legacy + scalable tech infrastructure is huge.

This is what I mean when I say: “AI isn’t just the future—it’s the NOW.” 🧬 And seeing high-performing teams like The Korman Group plug into platforms that prioritize innovation echoes everything we love in the AI + real estate crossover world. Real-world assets, meet real-world disruption.

📢 Final Word? Watch This Space

This isn’t just a pivot. It’s a signal. The real estate game is being rewritten by folks who understand that tech and trust must live in the same ZIP code. So if you’re watching luxury markets—or building AI agents for real estate (👀 shoutout to my dev crew)—take notes.

Big moves happening—keep up, crypto crew! 🧠🚀
