University of Miami, Real Estate Impact Conference | Alicia Cervera, Women Leaders in Real Estate

Alicia’s passion, sharp business acumen and personable, people-first attitude keep her among the major players in the industry. She has played a role in every Miami real estate cycle since her career began in 1980. Alicia has sold luxury high-rise condominiums across the region, helping revitalize areas including Brickell, Miami Beach’s South of Fifth neighborhood, downtown Miami and Edgewater.

Working alongside Alicia Cervera Sr., her mother and founder of the Cervera Real Estate firm, she learned the business from the ground up. After years of successfully representing Miami’s top developers, the Related Group invited Alicia and Cervera Real Estate to join forces in 2000. The result was Related Cervera Realty Services (RCRS). In just ten years, under Alicia’s leadership, the full service real estate brokerage sold over 14,600 units, representing over $6.8 billion. When the marketplace began to shift in 2008, Alicia led sales teams to close over $720 million worth of units RCRS had represented in developer sales.

In 2011, Alicia assumed the charge of Managing Partner for Cervera Real Estate, wherein she led the expansion of the company’s General Real Estate Division. This, together with her ability to exclusively represent a vast number of developer projects, has substantially contributed to the growth of the firm. Alicia continues to lead by example, servicing developer client needs while also assisting associates with individual and bulk transactions. Today, Alicia oversees over $4.5 billion of real estate sales in both pre-construction and general real estate.

Various local and national organizations have bestowed upon Alicia awards in recognition of her accomplishments. She is honorary chairman of the Master Broker’s Forum and a board member for numerous organizations, amongst them, Miami’s United Way, Miami Association of Realtors, the Miami DDA and University of Miami’s MRED+U.
