Meet Nelson Gonzalez 2026 

It takes something special to rank in the top one-half 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.  

Nelson has closed over $4 Billion in sales across a 35-year career of marketing and selling  Miami’s finest luxury homes, with $285,000,000 in sold real estate in 2025. 

In 2026, Nelson Gonzalez is Ranked #1 Agent Globally in the Berkshire Hathaway network,  and #1 Companywide at BHHS EWM Realty last 5 years in a row. 

Nelson Gonzalez also Ranked #1 Latino Agent in the country in the ranking report produced by the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals, 2026 Top 250 Latino Agents.  

In the 2026 Real Trends Verified Rankings, Nelson Gonzalez Ranked #2 Agent by sales  volume in all Miami Dade.  

There are many significant sales that mark Nelson’s career. In 2025, Nelson marketed and sold  88 La Gorce Circle on La Gorce Island for $74.25 million, which was the highest single-family  home sale in Miami Beach. Two additional notable sales of his were 4774 North Bay Road  selling at $29.5 million and 2288 Sunset Drive selling at $25 million. In 2024, Nelson sold 3 properties with a selling price of over $24,000,000; 263 Ocean Blvd - closing at $34 million, still  ranking as the second most expensive home in Golden Beach, where Nelson brokered the deal  between 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 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. 

Adding to his status as an industry heavyweight, 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. 

Intimate knowledge of Miami Beach history—from its 90’s Art Deco renaissance to its current  status as one of the most sought-after destinations for high-net-worth individuals worldwide—is  key to Nelson’s practice. His insight comes naturally. He was born and raised in Miami, later  earning his business degree from the University of Central Florida. Once back in South Florida,  Nelson began his real estate practice and joined BHHS EWM Realty (then known as Esslinger Wooten-Maxwell) in 1998. 

As an added testament to his top-level expertise and white-glove service, Nelson was voted  “Best Realtor” in a 2017 real estate study conducted by Bendixen & Amandi International and 

the Miami Herald. Over the course of his decorated career, Nelson has furthermore become a  trusted resource for top press outlets nationwide—regularly featured in The Wall Street  Journal, The New York Times, New York Post, Miami Herald, The Real Deal, and Mansion  Global, among countless others. 

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