Leona Gentles, REALTOR®

I’m Leona Gentles, a Florida real estate professional, entrepreneur, and former
construction engineer. More than anything, I’m someone who enjoys helping people turn
big plans into something real.
I’m originally from Jamaica with a background in construction and engineering. I earned my
Bachelor of Engineering in Construction Engineering from the University of Technology,
where I graduated with Honours and was recognized for the best academic performance in
my program. Before moving into real estate, I spent years working in engineering, getting
hands-on experience with construction projects, site assessments, structural concerns,
infrastructure systems, technical drawings, and residential developments.


That background influences how I work today. I’m curious, detail-oriented, and probably
more interested in figuring out how something works than I have any business being. When
I’m helping a client with a property, I’m not just looking at whether the house photographs
well. I’m thinking about the bigger picture, asking questions, spotting potential concerns,
and helping my clients make informed decisions.
As a REALTOR®, my goal is to make the process feel less intimidating. Whether someone is
buying their first home, looking for a rental, selling, investing, relocating, or simply trying to
figure out where to start, I want them to know they have someone in their corner.


For me, the most rewarding part of real estate isn’t simply getting a property under
contract. It’s helping someone navigate everything that happens between “I think I want to
do this” and finally holding the keys. There are negotiations, paperwork, deadlines,
unexpected hurdles, and plenty of “okay, let’s figure this out” moments. And yes,
sometimes there is enough paperwork to make you briefly question every life choice that
led you here.
I also know that real estate is rarely just about a property. A home can represent
independence, stability, a fresh start, or a major milestone. That’s why I care about
listening to my clients, understanding what matters to them, and making sure they feel
informed and supported instead of like they’re being shuffled through a conveyor belt of
paperwork.
Outside of real estate, I’m the founder of Carnival Curated, a Caribbean carnival concierge
and travel company. I created it to help travelers enjoy carnival without having to personally
coordinate every accommodation, transportation detail, and itinerary. Basically, I enjoy
organizing chaos so other people don’t have to.
I’m always learning, building, and thinking about what’s next. I love connecting people with
solutions and finding practical ways to make life easier.

At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: big goals become a lot less intimidating
when you have the right person beside you.
Whether I’m helping someone find a home, navigating a complicated transaction, planning
a Caribbean adventure, or bringing an idea to life, I bring determination, honesty, creativity,
attention to detail, and a genuine desire to help.
If I can make the process easier, help someone feel more confident, and hopefully make
them laugh a few times along the way, then I’m doing what I love.
