Michael Brownell Talent Attraction Specialist

Hello! I’m Michael Brownell, a Talent Attraction Specialist with Charles Rutenberg Realty Fort Lauderdale, and I’ve had the pleasure of working in the real estate industry for 18 years. My passion is connecting talented real estate agents with opportunities that allow them to thrive and grow.

I take pride in identifying the right people and creating partnerships that go beyond business—it’s about building something meaningful together. I make it a point to understand each agent—their goals, their strengths, and what motivates them—to ensure they find a place where they can truly succeed.

Whether you’re a new agent looking to launch your career or a seasoned professional ready to reach new heights, I’m here to guide, support, and cheer you on every step of the way. It’s all about fostering long-term relationships and celebrating your success.

When I’m not recruiting or networking, I enjoy staying informed on the latest real estate trends, mentoring emerging talent, and unwinding with some good music—whether I’m listening or making it myself.

Let’s connect and explore how we can build something extraordinary together!
