"LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT BEING AN INTERN AT A REAL ESTATE OFFICE WOULD LEAD TO SUCH A GRATIFYING CAREER."

It was love at first sight when Brigitte was first immersed in the world of real estate. "It was my destiny," Nachtigall says, after all she was entering a profession that utilized all of her skills. She had always loved the different aspects of marketing, public relations, interior design and finance. What she treasured the most was the trust she has gained throughout years of experience from her clients, who are more like, as Nachtigall says, "friends from all walks of life.”

Ms. Nachtigall's profession has evolved and been shaped in a way that encompasses every aspect of real estate, from relating to clients in their native languages, to having the ability to be five minutes away, helping them get comfortable in Miami by guiding them with school issues, doctors and other needs a family may require. “My clients are my number one priority and I believe in giving them the best service possible. A client dictates the schedule, not the other way around!" Nachtigall says. It is a rule that she lives by and it is why she has been able to provide a service that is unparalleled.

Unlike other realtors, Ms. Nachtigall works and specializes on Key Biscayne, unless on some rare occasion, a prospective client wishes to look elsewhere. "One cannot operate in every village, town and city of South Florida and serve the client professionally, no matter how big the firm is. Brigitte chose to focus on Key Biscayne as she knows the island paradise well. After all, this is where she grew up and this is her home and where she and her family live today. Brigitte is married to Mike Aixala the owner and President of Interscope Contractors. “Mike has built approximately 160 homes on Key Biscayne,” she says proudly. “Having my husband as a builder is a huge asset in order to guide clients on issues of permitting, restrictions and regulations to build and/or remodel homes.”

Brigitte truly enjoys her job and has proven her abilities over the years. She worked for “Ocean Club Development“ on Key Biscayne for over 7 years, then moved on to being the sales director for the “Four Seasons Residences“ on Brickell for two years and then decided she wanted to return to Key Biscayne to be closer to her children and went back to general real estate. With over 27 years of experience, Brigitte has secured her position as a realtor, a model citizen and a philanthropist.
