Meet the Mom – Margit Brandt

Where did you grow up: New York City. 

Town you live in now: Palm Beach, FL

Why you love living there: I love the balance of it being a small town with great people, a rapidly growing business hub combined with one of the best vacation spots in the country. It’s really got the best of both worlds – having that remote feeling of being a tropical island oasis that lets you escape, with all the amenities of a developed city. 

Tell me about your kids: We have a 2 year old girl and a 4 year old boy! 

Favorite things to do with the kids locally: Beach, Pools, & Playgrounds! 

What’s your ‘day job’?  How did you get started with it? I am a Senior Real Estate Advisor and one of the top producers at the Palm Beach Island office of Compass Florida. I started out as a real estate agent in New York City between 2012-2016 before my husband and I moved to South Florida in 2017. Since then, I’ve been specializing in luxury residential real estate on Palm Beach Island & coastal West Palm Beach!

What is your best parenting advice.  Lay it on us.  Figure out the things that you can change and be proactive about it, but also be willing to accept the things you can’t. It’s easy to get trapped in the vicious cycle of expecting perfection out of yourself and your kids, but that’s just not the way life is designed and so it’s important to get comfortable with chaos.

What do you do for self care? SoulCycle, Pilates, Bar, Walks, Runs, & Spa!

Karaoke – what are you singing? I Won’t Back Down (Tom Petty)
