Las Olas Blvd. Fort Lauderdale 305-778-4575 cherylbosa@gmail.com EDUCATION » Bachelor of Science Business Administration, The Ohio State University LOCATIONS » Coastal South Florida » Exceptional Properties in Broward & Miami-Dade Counties
Cheryl Bosa’s commitment to excellence has helped her to carve out a niche as a top real estate professional in the South Florida Real Estate market. “The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.” Vince Lombardi So why quote Vince Lombardi? Vince Lombardi is arguably the greatest football coach of all time. He achieved this success through his ability to teach, motivate and inspire. These attributes are the foundation of what Cheryl strives to bring to her clients. However, that is just the beginning of Cheryl’s Football and Real Estate ties in South Florida. Cheryl followed her brother Eric Kumerow (1987 Dolphin first round draft pick) to Miami in 1990 to marry his best friend, John Bosa, also a Miami Dolphins first round pick in 1986. Cheryl dedicated the next 18 years to developing a market knowledge in the purchasing, renovating and selling of residential properties in Miami Beach and Broward.
“I love working with buyers and sellers to help make their dreams a reality. Buying and selling a home is one of the largest decisions in someone’s life and if I can use my expertise to help make it a wonderful and exciting experience, and alleviate the stress, I’ve done my job.” Cheryl then moved to Fort Lauderdale in 2008 where her Real Estate and Football legacy continues. Her oldest son, Joey, played for St. Thomas Aquinas and now plays at The Ohio State University. Her younger son, Nick, also plays for the St. Thomas Raiders and is a 5 star recruit. “I am so proud of my sons. Not because of their superstar status, but because of their dedication, hard work, and teamwork. These are qualities I am determined to bring to my profession.” “The only place SUCCESS comes before WORK is in the dictionary!” Vince Lombardi Cheryl found the ideal Team when she became a Coldwell Banker agent. “Coldwell Banker gives me the connections to present my listings to the most extensive and powerful network of real estate experts in the world. That is teamwork!”

A familiar face to many Broward County real estate professionals, as the Senior VP of Business Development and Marketing for the MIAMI Association of REALTORS, Danielle’s role is to manage all retention and recruitment efforts for the organization’s growing Broward County membership. And with over 7,800 members in Broward, it’s no small task. (MIAMI is the largest local Realtor association in the nation with over 31,000 brokers and agents in Miami, Broward and Palm Beach Counties.) “With over 50,000 active Realtors in South Florida, the real estate market is ultra competitive. So one of the best parts of my job is to help members be more efficient, more marketable and more successful than their competition. We want them to win that client and that listing every time.”
And Danielle says it’s no accident that they are the largest local Realtor association in the country. “While training and technology are important, at the core, offering great customer service is still our #1 priority. And agents have taken notice.” Before joining MIAMI three years ago, Danielle was the Director of Communications for the Realtor Association of Greater Fort Lauderdale for five years. Prior to that, Danielle held numerous lobbyist and public affairs positions. While she has lived in nine states and two countries, Danielle still considers South Florida home. “For me, this is the dream place to live and work. And working in one of the most active and dynamic real estate markets in the country keeps me on my toes.”

Chic, sophisticated and extremely ambitious, Giordanna “Gigi” Giusti is the next Top Producer in the South Florida Luxury Real Estate market! Growing up in a family of developers and real estate professionals, she quickly grew a passion for selling luxury real estate from a very young age. While completing an internship with Ocean Drive Magazine, Gigi saw an abundant opportunity to work alongside her mother, top producer Maritza Meza. Understanding the importance of hard work, she dedicated herself to working extensive hours supporting sales teams with numerous pre-construction projects, including several of George Perez’s Related Group residential towers. With first hand experience and all of the knowledge gained, she went on to create “The Meza Group” which now has a total record of selling $550 Million in pre-construction and existing sales. After graduating from the University of Florida, Gigi further pursued her career in real estate head-on and has become a driving force in the South Florida Luxury Real Estate market. Beginning her career
in the middle of a slow economy, Gigi saw this as an opportunity to learn the business inside out and quickly mastered the art of selling. Her bilingual skills complimented her drive and targeted the international buyers coming from all over the world, especially the South American market. Handling many of her mother’s listings, she successfully sold over $20 million dollars in her first three years. Paving her road in this sought-after industry, she quickly made a name for herself and was recognized in NRT’s Society of Excellence receiving the International President’s Circle Award in 2012. After working several years in the general luxury real estate field, Gigi was approached by ONE Sotheby’s International Realty to become a part of their elite in-house sales team for RIVA, a pre-construction project right in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. Still under 30 years of age, she grasps the thought that her career has not yet started, in comparison to her plans ten years from now! Young, driven and with a very promising future ahead, Gigi continues to thrive and establish her success in the Luxury Real Estate World.

Liz Caldwell, of the Liz Caldwell Group of EWM Realty International a Christie’s International Real Estate Affiliate, traces her South Florida real-estate roots to childhood. The daughter of a realtor and general contractor, Caldwell knew a real estate career was inevitable.

Teamed with the support of her husband Daniel, a well-known artist, Caldwell stands atop her profession, excited to assist clients at a moment’s notice. That enthusiasm coupled with a fabulous team comprised of Karin Gillette, Michelle Dery, Amy Faulkner, Linda Mierley and Nicole McKenney, has enabled the Liz Caldwell Group to generate over $575 million in sales volume since 1998. Liz is an avid supporter of the community in many organizations such as co-chairing the Tiffany
Circle of the American Red Cross and recently just co-chaired the annual Toyland Event of the Junior Welfare Society’s Taste of the Mediterranean. Caldwell sees the importance of giving back to the community through service. “My clients know that I absolutely love what I do. I am available to them for any reason and nothing makes me happier than providing stellar customer service.” There is also comfort in knowing that Caldwell is a fourth generation native who knows multiple areas! Due to the global nature of selling real estate, the Liz Caldwell Group is using the latest trends in technology to close the gap. This year the Liz Caldwell Group continues to take the lead in the latest marketing trends including the launch of the Liz Caldwell Group mobile application available on multiple platforms. “Today’s market requires a constant focus on exceptional customer service and effective marketing. With the influence of technology and the internet, the marketplace is more dynamic than ever.”
