Top Producers Jaclyn Bild and Sari Shapiro Launch The J&S Group at Douglas Elliman

Jaclyn Bild and Sari Libbin Shapiro have officially joined forces to launch The J&S Group at Douglas Elliman, uniting their shared roots, proven track records, and expansive networks to establish one of South Florida's most dynamic and influential new teams. With a combined career sales volume of over $900 million, the industry-leading cousins bring substantial market experience to their new partnership. The J&S Group specializes in property sales across South Miami, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Miami Beach, Edgewater and North Bay Village, providing clients with personalized access and expert guidance in the region's most sought-after luxury markets.

Jay Phillip Parker, CEO of Brokerage, Florida Region and President of Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, Florida, emphasized the significance of this partnership, stating that their new team reflects both their history of achievement and a clear vision for the future that blends local insight with global reach. Both agents have been individually ranked among the top 1.5% of real estate professionals nationwide by RealTrends + Tom Ferry America's Best List as featured in The Wall Street Journal annually since 2022. They have consistently earned the prestigious Pinnacle Award for placing in the Top 3% at Douglas Elliman, demonstrating their sustained excellence in the competitive real estate landscape.

The launch of The J&S Group marks a milestone as the duo celebrates ten years at Douglas Elliman, evolving from individual top producers into one family-driven team. Both born and raised in Miami and guided by the philosophy "The Luxury of Local," Bild and Shapiro are setting out to create a legacy built on local expertise and community-driven excellence. Shapiro explained that being born and raised in Miami provides them with a competitive advantage that only true natives can offer, allowing them to guide clients with insight and authenticity that cannot be replicated in the luxury market.

Bild brings to The J&S Group a wealth of experience shaped by her early exposure to her family's real estate business and her professional foundation in finance. After earning dual degrees in Finance and Marketing from Washington University in St. Louis, she began her career in New York City advising high-net-worth individuals before returning to Miami in 2015 to pursue real estate full time. Her career is distinguished by recognition in Douglas Elliman's 2024 Ellie Awards, where she ranked #13 in GCI, #24 nationally and #15 in Florida and is recognized as the #10 Latin Agent Nationwide by Sales Volume by NAHREP at https://www.nahrep.org.

Shapiro has built her career through deep market knowledge, an expansive influential network, and an impressive track record in both luxury resales and pre-construction. Since entering real estate in 2015, she has played a pivotal role in the selling of some of Miami's most iconic new developments, including Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove and VILLA MIAMI in Edgewater. Shapiro brings valuable experience from Douglas Elliman's Sports & Entertainment Division, where she has successfully worked with professional athletes including several NBA players. Leveraging dual degrees in Marketing and Psychology from the University of Miami, she combines strategic insight, innovative marketing and an intuitive understanding of her clients' needs.

Together as The J&S Group, Bild and Shapiro bring unmatched expertise, complementary strengths, and a shared passion for Miami to global clients across the luxury market. They have sold more resales than any other agent at Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove since the building's opening last summer, a testament to their market dominance and trusted reputation. Their deep community ties, combined with their professional success, make them uniquely positioned to deliver exceptional results and shape a new legacy within Douglas Elliman's expanding Florida operations.
