Our Story
Built on Trust, Vision & Two Decades in South Florida
Vanessa and Oswaldo Bernal are the driving force behind BREC Realty Group — a South Florida real estate firm built on over 25 years of market expertise, deep personal relationships, and an unwavering commitment to their clients’ long-term success. As a married couple originally from Colombia and proudly rooted in Weston for over two decades, they bring a rare combination of local knowledge and Latin American insight that sets BREC apart in one of the most competitive real estate markets in the world. Their journey didn’t begin in a boardroom — it began with a decision to build something meaningful in a new country, learning the market from the ground up, earning trust one client at a time, and never losing sight of the values that brought them here in the first place.
BREC Realty Group was born from a realization that Vanessa and Oswaldo carried with them throughout their careers: the best real estate decisions come from clear, structured, and deeply personal guidance — not from a transaction focused on closing a deal. For years, they watched an industry that prioritized selling properties over truly understanding the people behind them. They knew there was a better way. Together, Vanessa — a licensed broker — and Oswaldo — a financial and investment advisor — built a firm where every process is designed around the client, not the product. A firm where a property is never just a purchase, but a piece of a larger story — a tool for growth, a foundation for family, and a way to protect and build wealth that lasts across generations.
As a couple, Vanessa and Oswaldo share more than a business — they share a vision. A belief in the value of family, the importance of a home that truly fits your life, and the responsibility that comes with helping someone make one of the most significant financial decisions they will ever make. With over 27 years of living and working between two cultures, they have built something rare: a team that combines the warmth and cultural understanding of Latin America with the deep expertise of the American real estate market. At BREC, every client — whether investing from abroad or building roots right here in South Florida — is treated with the same level of care, honesty, and commitment that Vanessa and Oswaldo have brought to every relationship they have ever built.
