Michael Ponte
Mobile: 772-341-2511
Office: 772-283-9991
Email: michaelponte71@gmail.com
Info: Helping others is my PASSION! I have been working with and serving the public since before I was born! Back then the family business was coffee and donuts. My great uncle started things in Rhode Island and then my parents migrated to Connecticut bringing the business with them.
When I was a little boy hanging out in the coffee shop, there was always this one man who would say “I knew you before you were even born.” When I asked my mother how this was possible, she informed me she had worked behind the counter on the very day I was born so everyone felt they already knew me.
Helping others is my passion. I am truly happiest when I am engaged in the act of creating a possibility with another for their life and then working with them to help make that possibility become a reality.
Being a Realtor feeds my passion for helping others as well as my other great passion, people! Those who know me will often hear me say “People are my thing!” I love meeting and connecting with new people wherever I go. When my children were young and we would go new places, they would see me talking with someone and ask “Dad, do you know that person?” my response would be “I do now!”
To me, being a Realtor is about helping people. Whether helping them realize the dream of purchasing a new home OR even realizing their current home is their dream home, it’s all about helping someone find happiness.

Elin O’Donnell
Broker Associate
Email: elin.toprealtor@gmail.com
Info: Elin’s love of design and real estate started long ago! Her passions and outgoing personality naturally lead her to luxury real estate and staging. Originally from San Diego, California, Elin grew up in Montreal, Canada, where her mom flipped condos and always asked for her input on finish choices. “I could go to home depot and choose a winning finish grouping, in less than 45 minutes, that would get endless compliments and sell the property within days, at top dollar, every time.” She has always gone after everything in life with the same direct tenacity. Straight out of college, Elin pursued a career in Fashion Design and Event Planning. She is no stranger to working long hours, professionally and diligently, for high end clients, both in English and in French.
She began her career in Real Estate in West Palm Beach in 2015 and met her husband, Lance O’Donnell, a luxury residential builder, shortly afterwards. Elin and Lance renovated a succession of homes along the treasure coast which provided Elin the opportunity to demonstrate her natural flair for interior design and staging. They now call Palm Beach Gardens home and have 2 beautiful little girls, Brooke, 3, and Kennedy, 6 months old. In 2019 they established Brookeside Builders after their first daughter which specializes in home remodeling. While expanding the Stracuzzi Brand South into Palm Beach County, Elin strives to maintain a work-life balance by spending as much time as possible with her kids and family, when she isn’t working with clients, guiding them mindfully through the buying and selling process.
