DOTOLI Group

What DOTOLI Group does

DOTOLI Group is a privately held luxury residential real estate brokerage founded in 2013 and headquartered at 1200 E Las Olas Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, operating as a team under the Compass real estate brokerage. The firm is led by founder and CEO Josh Dotoli and focuses on high-net-worth buyers and sellers of waterfront estates, deepwater properties with yacht access, oceanfront condominiums, and luxury new-construction single-family homes across Fort Lauderdale, Lighthouse Point, Hollywood Beach, and surrounding South Florida submarkets.

The company's core offering is full-service luxury brokerage representation, supported by a Property Search Platform with MLS integration, immersive listing video content, and a proprietary 25-Point Listing Plan marketed as a systematic methodology for preparing and pricing homes. A sub-brand, Dotoli Development, extends the business into new-construction luxury development and builder representation, including an exclusive sales mandate for Marina Landings, a 34-home gated community developed by 13th Floor Homes. Supporting partnerships with Acrisure Mortgage and Airbtics provide integrated financing referrals and short-term rental market data respectively, while a community partnership with Habitat for Humanity supports brand positioning.

The business model is transaction-fee driven: the team earns percentage-based commissions on luxury residential sales, with industry-standard rates of 2.5-6% of sale price, often split between listing and buyer agents. Reported scale signals include over $750M in recent residential sales volume, cumulative sales exceeding $1B since inception, a ranking of #1 large real estate team in Fort Lauderdale and #22 in Florida by sales volume, and a March 2026 record-setting condo sale of $4,675,000. The firm employs 1-10 people, has no external funding, and is operationally concentrated in the South Florida luxury segment.
