Margit Brandt of Premier Estate Properties Talks Accolades, Approach, and What’s Next
Margit, you’ve been recognized as one of the top-performing brokers in South Florida, can you share which accolades or awards have been most meaningful to you and why?
Thank you! What means the most to us is the trust of our clients and the respect of our colleagues and helping people find the right home is always the ultimate reward.
In terms of recognition, were ranked by Real Trends as a Top 20 Individual Agent in America and Top 6 in Florida for 2025, and noted as the youngest agent on that list. We also ranked among the Top 10 female real estate advisors in America, which is especially meaningful as a woman-owned and women-staffed business.
In 2024, we achieved the #1 Highest Price Per Sale nationally at $34M+ (for agents with over 10 transactions) and handled the Largest Sale on the East Coast, a private island in Palm Beach. We’ve also transacted over $1 billion in sales since 2022, proudly cementing our position at Premier Estate Properties.
None of this would be possible without the trust of our clients and the dedication of our team—we’re truly grateful.
What distinguishes your approach in South Florida’s luxury real estate community?
We take a highly personalized approach—every client and property gets a tailored strategy. It’s about combining market expertise with attention to detail, anticipating needs, and making the experience seamless and enjoyable. We focus on positive relationships and believe house-hunting should feel fun, not transactional.
Your listing at 253 Jamaica Lane in Palm Beach is this month’s featured cover property of South Florida Real Estate Showcase. What makes this home so special?
253 Jamaica Lane is a like-new Dutch Colonial gem on the North End of Palm Beach. It blends classic elegance with sun-filled designer interiors and seamless indoor-outdoor flow—perfect for entertaining or relaxing by the pool. The North End has a real sense of community, where neighbors wave, take golf cart rides to the beach, and enjoy dog walks along the Lake Trail. It truly feels like a private sanctuary with that laid-back, Bahamas-inspired Palm Beach vibe.

Word is out that you are opening your own Palm Beach storefront on Royal Palm Way, expanding from the original Premier Estate Properties’ Worth Avenue location. Can you tell us more?
We’re really excited about this new space. We’re working with designers now on a full transformation to make it feel like a home away from home, not just an office. With over five years as one of Palm Beach Island’s top agents, this new location strengthens the Margit Brandt Palm Beach presence and positions us, alongside our partners Premier Estate Properties, right at the center of Palm Beach’s most prestigious business district.

Favorite spots in the Hamptons?
We love stopping into Red Horse Market for some light groceries, breakfast at Sant Ambroeus in East Hampton, Round Swamp and Balsam farm stands for fresh produce, Soul Cycle in Bridgehampton, Tutto Il Giorno in Sag Harbor for dinner, and taking the boat out to Shelter Island. Sundays in Montauk aren’t too shabby either. The Hamptons is really my happy place.
