Meet Mio Smith

My name is Miosotys, but everyone knows me as Mio. I came to the United States from
Cuba with my family in 1967 at a young age. At first it was challenging to be immersed
in a new country, a new culture, a different life. But one step at a time, I started to
embrace this magnificent country full of opportunities for all. I went to school, I started a
family, bought my first home in Miami, Florida, and eventually moved to Volusia County
in 2010.

But my real estate journey started in 1984 when I obtained my license. I worked for a
few years as a real estate agent, but having a family and being new at the trade was a
little stressful and I didn’t want that to interfere with the kind of real estate agent I
wanted to be. I placed my real estate journey on hold and went back to school earning
degrees in psychology, social and behavioral sciences, and education. I love personal
interaction and the opportunity of helping people succeed, so I became a teacher, and
was a passionate and successful educator for many years.

Upon retiring from teaching, I wanted to get back to my first passion, Real Estate.
Helping people make the right decision when buying, selling, and/or investing in real
estate is as rewarding as it was helping students become successful learners and
productive members of society… it is a feel-good experience, and it is huge!
Being fluent in English and Spanish empowers me to be more perceptive, receptive,
and understanding of the needs of different cultures, and enhances the skills and
qualities that make me an effective communicator.

I am a REALTOR ® ! I take pride in what I do. I make people happy. The testimonials of
my clients are the best endorsement of my character… it doesn’t get better than that!
