Couples of CFL Real Estate ‘23

Roberto Aponte & Daniel Ramos

Meet another quickly rising couple in Central Florida’s real estate community: Roberto Aponte and Danny Ramos. They are a driving force at Compass, and boasted a sales volume of $19,044,329 and 50 units sold last year. But their journey to success started long before their relocation to Orlando…

The couple first met in New Jersey, and after spending an unforgettable weekend together, they started a long-distance relationship. Despite the distance between them, Danny used to take the train to Virginia to be with Roberto. After three months, they decided to move in together, and now, 12 years later, they are still going strong. Roberto’s former career took them up and down the East Coast, but they ultimately decided to settle down in Orlando.

Roberto started in real estate as a solo agent in 2018, and Danny has been an integral part of his business since the beginning. Initially, Danny helped with social media, but his role grew to include website development, lead generation, and other operational tasks. By September 2020, the business was thriving, and it made sense for Danny to join full-time as the marketing director and lead generator. Their team, Aponte Group, now consist of six agents, including Jackelyn, their admin extraordinaire.

Being nominated as a power couple in the real estate industry is a tremendous honor for the two of them, especially as a married gay Latino couple. They view it as a validation of their hard work, dedication, and perseverance. The two are proud to be part of a diverse and inclusive industry, and they are committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of their business.

When asked about advice for couples working together, they stress the importance of knowing when to clock out. It can be tempting to discuss work late into the night, but they make a conscious effort to step away from the business and focus on their personal time. They even workout of separate offices in their home.

Starting a real estate business was a significant challenge for them. It meant leaving Roberto’s former career, and they knew it would be tough. They did what they had to do to make ends meet, including renting out their cars on Turo and listing their spare bedroom on Airbnb. But they never gave up or stopped believing in their vision. Their humble upbringings make their success even more rewarding.

For the couple, the most rewarding part of working together is reflecting on where they started and what they have built together. They are setting an example for their son on the value of hard work and dedication. Outside of work, Roberto & Danny enjoy traveling, exploring new places, eating and drinking, going to the beach, hanging out with friends, cars, and tackling DIY home projects.
