"Buyers and Sellers love and appreciate the discretion we provide"
Lucia de Santa Ana is a real estate professional at Skyline Properties working commercial and residential investment opportunities in New York and Florida. Her practice centers on off-market transactions and investment properties: the kind of assignments that take discretion, persistence, and a tightly targeted approach. Lucia grew up in Montevideo, Uruguay, and came to real estate from competitive sport. She represented Uruguay in international tennis, played in the 2016 Junior Fed Cup, and competed as an NCAA Division I tennis player at the University of Minnesota. That career built the discipline, resilience, game planning, and composure under pressure she now brings to every assignment. Lucia works closely with property owners, investors, buyers, and tenants, and she stays on top of the details from first call to closing. Her experience covers investment properties, off-market opportunities, sales, leasing, and rental transactions, with particular familiarity with South Florida and the New York market. She is fluent in English, Spanish, and French, so she can work directly with a broad domestic and international client base. Her relationship-driven approach, competitive mindset, and focus on execution make her a valuable member of the Skyline Properties team.
