Residential Real Estate

Lea Modenos

Broker Associate

Relocating isn't just about buying or selling a home—it's about starting a new chapter with confidence. Whether you're leaving the Northeast for the Florida lifestyle or making the move back to New York, having an experienced real estate professional who understands both markets can make all the difference.

Originally from New York, I began my college career at St. John's University before earning my Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing from Florida Atlantic University. Having lived and worked in both New York and Florida, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with relocating between these two markets.

As a licensed real estate professional in both Florida and New York, I specialize in helping buyers and sellers make seamless transitions between the Northeast and Palm Beach County. Whether you're purchasing your dream home in Jupiter, Tequesta, or Boca Raton, selling your Florida property to relocate north, or searching for a New York home or rental, I provide personalized guidance every step of the way.

With more than 15 years of experience as a licensed Florida Broker Associate (License #BK3256416), I have helped buyers, sellers, investors, and second-home owners successfully navigate a wide variety of real estate transactions. My clients appreciate my local market knowledge, strong negotiation skills, and commitment to making every transaction as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Before entering real estate, I spent over 25 years as a senior merchandising executive leading multimillion-dollar retail businesses. That executive background gives me a strategic, analytical approach to pricing, marketing, and positioning homes to maximize value. I understand how to identify opportunities, solve problems, negotiate effectively, and deliver exceptional service throughout the entire process.

Specializing In:

  • Relocating from New York and the Northeast to Palm Beach County
  • Second homes and investment properties
  • Florida buyers and sellers in Jupiter, Jupiter Farms, Tequesta, and Boca Raton
  • Snowbirds transitioning to full-time Florida residency
  • Luxury homes, waterfront properties, country club communities, and condominiums
  • New York-to-Florida and Florida-to-New York relocations

 

My philosophy is simple: real estate is about relationships, trust, and delivering results. I pride myself on being approachable, responsive, and dedicated to helping my clients make informed decisions with confidence.

If you're considering a move between New York and Florida, I'd love the opportunity to help make your transition a success.

Let's make your next move your best move.
