Realtor Associate

Mikel Abando is a Cervera Real Estate Associate specializing in high-value residential and investment opportunities across Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach. Born and raised in Bilbao, Spain, he brings a global perspective shaped by a strong academic foundation that includes a Bachelor’s in Business Administration from Longwood University and master's degrees in Human Resource Management and Sports Management. His approach is grounded in strategy, discipline, and a commitment to delivering measurable value for every client.

With more than twelve years as an international professional soccer player, Mikel has cultivated a powerful network of high-net-worth individuals, elite athletes, club executives, and investment groups throughout Europe, Latin America, and the United States. This access allows his clients to benefit from off-market opportunities, cross-border investment channels, and a level of trust and discretion that is rarely available in traditional real estate settings. He also serves as the founder of Luminal Miami, a property management company focused on optimizing residential and investment assets.

Fluent in Spanish, English, and Basque, Mikel is particularly focused on helping international buyers, especially from Spain, enter the South Florida market with confidence. He provides clarity, transparency, and investment-driven guidance across commercial properties, new construction developments, and long-term wealth-building opportunities. Whether representing a first-time investor or a seasoned group, Mikel brings the same discipline, leadership, and results-oriented mindset that defined his professional sports career.
