Hortense De Castro Luxury Real Estate Advisor | Community Leader
Hortense De Castro brings authentic real estate investment experience and a genuine passion for building relationships to her practice at Gary Hennes Realtors Miami Beach. After purchasing her first brownstone in Brooklyn and gaining invaluable hands-on experience through several successful real estate deals of her own, Hortense made the strategic decision to transition into real estate as a licensed professional in Miami—and she hasn’t looked back.

Described as an “architect of relationships,” Hortense builds solid foundations that support and promote communication—the backbone of every successful transaction. Her approach is both laid-back and deeply professional, combining meticulous attention to detail with a warm, personable style that puts clients at ease. This unique combination allows her to establish genuine personal connections, better understand her clients’ needs, and provide exceptional service that consistently exceeds expectations.
In her current role, Hortense finds the work thrilling. She loves viewing a wide range of properties, guiding clients through their selection process, and negotiating skillfully on their behalf. For Hortense, this isn’t just a career—she is “truly living the Miami REAL dream.”
Community Champion
Beyond her real estate success, Hortense is deeply engaged with the Miami Beach community. She serves on the Board of Directors at Miami Beach United (MBU), a grassroots organization dedicated to educating the public on various issues and hosting community-centered forums and civic events. This involvement keeps her connected to the pulse of Miami Beach and reinforces her commitment to making the community stronger for everyone.
