Our team
Two people, three counties
Hoffman & Closius is Martin Hoffman P.A. and MaryEllen Closius P.A. That is the whole team, and it is the point — you deal with the person doing the work, on their own number, from the first call to the closing table.
Introduction
A small team, on purpose
Most real estate websites open with a number: homes sold, years in the business, volume closed. You have no way to check any of it, and a figure chosen to sound reassuring tells you nothing about how someone will handle your sale. So this page starts somewhere else.
What can be said plainly is the shape of the thing. Martin Hoffman P.A. is a Broker-Associate. MaryEllen Closius P.A. is a Sales Associate and Relocation Specialist. They work together acrossBroward County, Palm Beach County and Miami-Dade County, with buyers, with sellers, and with people moving to and from South Florida.
Being two people rather than twenty is the trade they have made. You will not get a team of assistants, and you will not need to explain your situation twice.
You get one of us, not a queue
Both numbers on this site are direct lines. Martin and MaryEllen answer their own phones — there is no call centre and no assistant in between.
Two people on a transaction
Whichever of them you start with, the other is there. The one better placed to help on a given question takes it.
A straight answer, including when it is no
If the right advice is to wait, to spend less, or that a property is not worth what it is asking, that is what you will be told. Talking someone into the wrong house is how you get one commission instead of a client.

How they work
What the job actually is
Three situations, and what changes between them.
For buyers
Fewer viewings, better ones
The work happens before the touring does: separating what you need from what you would like, so weekends are not spent on homes that were never right. Then the parts that decide a purchase — what comparable homes actually sold for, what an inspection turns up, what is genuinely negotiable.
How buying worksFor sellers
The first week is the one that counts
A property gets one launch, and most of the attention it will ever receive arrives in it. Preparation, an asking price built from what sold rather than what is asking, and presentation that earns the viewings — before it goes live, not after a reduction.
How selling worksFor people relocating
Choosing an area you have not lived in
Buying somewhere you do not yet know is a different exercise from buying down the road. Most people get one or two trips to decide, which changes how a search has to be run.
Relocation guide
Where they work
South Florida is not one market
Broward County, Palm Beach County and Miami-Dade County — three counties that behave differently and, within them, neighbourhoods that behave differently again. What is true of a waterfront condominium in Aventura is not true of a single-family house in Pembroke Pines: not the buyers, not the timelines, not the insurance, not what a renovation returns.
Working a defined area rather than the whole state is what makes it possible to know that. It is also the reason we will tell you when something falls outside it.

Client experience
In their own words
Client testimonials are published here once they are confirmed.
We only publish words people have actually said, with their permission. Nothing on this page is written on anyone's behalf, and no rating or review count is shown that we cannot stand behind.
No obligation
Start with a conversation
Tell either of them where you are — thinking about it, actively looking, or already under contract somewhere else — and you will get a straight answer about what to do next. Nothing to sign, and no follow-up campaign afterwards.
