Broker/Owner

Royal Palm Property Management

Ashley Simonelli is the owner and broker of Royal Palm Property Management and The Simonelli Real Estate Group, a premier boutique brokerage in Southwest Florida. While she designed her brokerage to be a one-stop shop serving investors all across the world, she believes the most important part is simply showing up.

“Some of the best advice I ever received was from the first real estate broker I worked for, who said, ‘Show up when others do not.’ That sentence has been on replay in my head since,” she says. “As a result, I show up. I show up when things are hard. I show up after hours and on weekends. I show up on holidays and when times are scary or unknown. My family, friends, clients and team know that I’m going to show up by any means necessary.”

When not supporting her team and clients, Simonelli volunteers with Better Together to keep families together and children out of foster care. Every year, she and her family have an Easter Basket Drive to collect baskets for the kids who are part of this organization, as well as a large toy drive for the holiday season.
