Meet Your 50 Biscayne Advisors

Meet Charles and Mary! Your 50 Biscayne Advisors.

Charles Celesia

High-touch. High-service. Lifelong relationships.

As a Founding Agent of Compass Florida, and with over 15 years of experience in Miami’s Real Estate industry, Charles Celesia has advised, managed, and closed on over $150 million dollars of investment opportunities on behalf of his clients, friends, and own personal portfolio.

Lifelong relationships, developed through trust and friendship, motivate Charles to continue providing the highest quality of service in Miami. Often a topic of jest, Charles is known to be responsive at all times of the day and night, answering emails and texts within minutes.

Naturally loving to spend time developing relationships and learning more about his clients on a personal level, you’ll find Charles and his clients laughing over a few drinks during brunch, sharing a night out in the town, or at holiday BBQs.

An Active Investor

Having leveraged relationships and market-specific knowledge, Charles’ personal portfolio has included over nine condo acquisitions & subsequent sales, two single family homes, and contributions as an LP in five mixed-use projects throughout Sunnyside-Queens and Astoria, NY.

As an advisor, Charles believes in an educational approach to each and every acquisition, applying his personal experiences and learnings in an easily digestible manner for everyone from first-time homebuyers to the savvy, institutional investor. Value-add projects being a specialty, Charles himself has completed several renovation projects, affording the ability to share his extensive knowledge throughout the process.

Charles obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management from George Mason University’s School of Management. Once an avid collegiate runner, he believes each weekend should start off with a long run and a Cuban coffee shared with friends & family.
