With a total of 20 years in the Miami / Fort Lauderdale market - I have worked both as a real estate Agent and Broker. I served as Managing Broker of Opulence International Realty from 2015-2017, where I oversaw roughly $100M in transactions and 40 agents. Opulence was later acquired by Brown Harris Stevens. I moved to Gary Hennes Realtors because Gary is an excellent, highly experienced broker who thrives on seeing others succeed.

My background is in the Arts; my Master’s Degree is from Yale. I founded and ran my own marketing and advertising firm, served as a Producing Director of a prominent Shakespeare Festival, as well as Theatre Director at the American School of Paris, all before I was licensed in 2004.

While I’ve lived in Europe and various great places in America, I’m proud to say I now live in Downtown Miami, which allows me to take full advantage of its incredible lifestyle and puts me at the epicenter of the South Florida real estate market. In my spare hours, you’ll find me exploring nature, walking on the beach, and working with non-profits, like the incredible kids at New World School of the Arts, of which I am a proud Foundation Board Member.

What Buyers and Sellers Are Saying

“Jill was lovely to work with from the beginning to the end of the transaction. Not only was she instrumental in prepping the condo for sale, she was able to market and sell quickly, even closing before the closing date. Jill kept me informed on all aspects of the transaction and answered any questions and concerns in a very timely manner. It was comforting to know that Jill was taking care of business as I was not physically in Florida during the time of sale. I highly recommend Jill for a job well done..”

— Chrissy Smith, Seller, Midtown Miami

“Jill is an incredibly savvy and agile realtor who was indispensable in helping find our dream home in South Florida. We recently moved from Los Angeles, CA to Hollywood, FL. Jill worked many long hours/days with us while we were on the West Coast despite a three hour time difference. She is a wonderful communicator which greatly helped in negotiating our purchase. Jill provided us with great referrals from home/pool inspectors and was always available to answer our questions. She has a keen eye and ear for her clients’ needs and goals. Jill was a steady influence and offered sage advice throughout the entire process. She is the consummate real estate professional. We will never be able to thank Jill enough for all of her great work. We hope that her future clients read this review and know that they will be working with the one of the best realtors in South Florida.

— Mickey Bhotiwihok, Buyer, Hollywood Lakes

“From the very first meeting Jill presented a professional experience which continues even one month past closing. Jill truly went way beyond expectations by always keeping us updated on the local market, provided many recommendations to get the house ready to market, implemented superior exposure to various USA and international markets, followed up with potential buyers even assisting them with information they needed aside from easy obtainable research. Jill kept a calm professional experience throughout the entire listing to closing process. Jill represented our selling position to the highest of industry ethics and standards..”

— Ronnie Robbins, Seller, Venetian Isles

“I found Jill's listing on realtor.com and contacted her myself with questions. This led to a unique relationship with me as the buyer. I soon found Jill is an extremely competent, thorough, patient and very knowledgeable realtor. She helped me through the process and was always friendly and responsive. This is extremely rare in the Miami area. I did have my own agent however I am looking forward to working with Jill in the future. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling. Thank you for everything Jill!!.”

— Anthony Romano, Buyer, Miami Beach

“I recently sold an open waterfront property in St Pete. I had owned the house for 20 years, quite a unique property on open bay front and a large lot. I was going to sell as a “for sale by owner”. At the last minute I decided to have Jill Patterson list the property. It ended up being a good decision as there were many things I wouldn’t have thought of that Jill did. I also underestimated the amount of time in working with various buyers and potential investors. Photography: Jill did a great job directing the photographer, even though he was a professional there were many things he would have missed in terms of staging and accentuating the strong point of the property. Listing: Jill did a much better job of writing the listing, highlighting the strengths and selecting the photographs that we used. All with enough content without too much. Working: The house ended up with hundreds of inquiry’s and multiple showings. Jill did an outstanding job of working this week after week. The house was on the market for six months, longer than I anticipated. Closing: When we finally arrived at some legitimate offers Jill suggested we get our own appraisal and title search. Both were excellent ideas for negotiating and finally closing.”

— James Tiller, Seller, St. Petersburg

“Jill is just outstanding! She was our agent when we bought this property and was our listing agent when we sold it. She is amazingly detailed, she does her homework. She is frank and honest, telling you what you need to know and setting realistic expectations. She is always available and is on top of every aspect of the transaction. She is proactive and reaches out to the buyers/sellers agent, the lender, the appraiser, inspector (and is present for all). And above all Jill just cares and wants her clients to be happy. And we are.”

— Orlando Alvarez, Victoria Park, Fort Lauderdale
