Annelisse Ovalles knows what it feels like to be the new person in town. Born in Latin America, she arrived in the U.S. as a child, moving from Texas to Louisiana to Michigan as her father pursued a career in gas engineering. She earned dual degrees in Business Administration and International Trade from Eastern Michigan University before spending the early part of her career in Caracas managing multi-million dollar contracts for one of Latin America’s largest energy companies.

That background — international perspective, sharp negotiation, and a deep understanding of complex transactions — shapes how Annelisse serves clients across Southwest  Florida. She specializes in luxury homes, foreign-national transactions, and investment properties, and is fluent in English and Spanish, with team support in Portuguese and French. For sellers, she pairs Compass’s premium marketing platform with thoughtful pricing and a strategic launch plan. For buyers, she identifies opportunities that align with both lifestyle and long-term financial goals.  Annelisse is a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), Seller Representative Specialist (SRS), Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA), and the 2023 President of NAHREP Fort Lauderdale.
