A little bit about me...
Carole Engels is a uniquely qualified Real Estate Broker with a deep-rooted connection to Miami and over 20 years of experience in the real estate industry. As the Owner and Broker of Properties of Miami, Carole leads a skilled, full-service team specializing in residential, commercial, and rental properties throughout South Florida. The brokerage is a reflection of her multicultural background, entrepreneurial drive, and genuine passion for the community she serves.
Born in Arizona, Carole spent her early years living in Belgium and the Dominican Republic before ultimately settling in Miami in the early 1990s. Having grown up in Miami, she developed a profound appreciation for the city’s neighborhoods, culture, and diversity — a connection that continues to shape her work today. Her deep familiarity with Miami’s evolving neighborhoods and market dynamics allows her to guide clients with confidence, insight, and precision across a wide range of real estate opportunities.
Carole comes from a family of real estate brokers, and her lifelong passion for the industry was shaped by working alongside her mother, a highly respected commercial real estate broker and founder of a successful agency with a 25-year legacy. This foundation instilled in her a strong work ethic, deep market knowledge, and a client-first philosophy that remains central to her practice.
Fluent in English and French, and conversational in Spanish, Carole is known for being a warm, passionate, and highly professional advocate for her diverse clientele. She has been a professionally licensed Florida real estate agent for over two decades and holds multiple industry certifications, including CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Expert), TRC (Transnational Referral Certification), and CREN (Certified Real Estate Negotiator). She is also a Certified Real Estate Owned (REO) Specialist, with extensive experience working with lending institutions, banks, and mortgage companies, including expertise in financing and managing foreclosed properties.
One of Carole’s greatest strengths is her positive attitude, adaptability, and unwavering dedication to her clients. As a devoted mother of three boys, an active community advocate, and a volunteer, she brings the same level of care, commitment, and involvement to every client relationship — remaining hands-on throughout each stage of the real estate process.
Carole holds a college degree in Business Administration and is an active member of Phi Beta Lambda (PBL), reflecting her commitment to continued professional and personal growth. Outside of real estate, she enjoys traveling to new places with her family, nurturing her love of plants and gardening, and spending meaningful time with family and friends — values that reflect her belief in connection, balance, and community.
With deep family roots in real estate, a genuine love for Miami, and a comprehensive understanding of the South Florida market, Carole Engels is a trusted advisor and strategic partner. Whether buying, selling, or investing, her experience, integrity, and dedication ensure a successful and rewarding real estate journey.
