ABOUT
LISSETTE Sarria
Lissette holds a Master's degree in International Economic Relations from Saint Petersburg State University in Russia. Born in Cuba and professionally established in Budapest, Lissette built a distinguished career as a marketing director and interior designer, combining strategic thinking with a refined design sensibility.
Throughout her career, she has overseen the design and execution of a diverse portfolio of projects, including the former Australian Embassy in Budapest, historic properties, corporate offices, and residential developments. Her work has been featured in numerous publications, showcasing a seamless integration of functionality, architectural character, and visual storytelling.
Her approach is rooted in a thoughtful understanding of context and each client's unique vision. Through attentive listening and genuine collaboration, she develops tailored design solutions where every decision reflects both the lifestyle and aesthetic aspirations of those she represents.
Her background in interior design brings an additional dimension to the real estate experience, helping clients recognize a property's potential beyond its current presentation. Her understanding of spatial composition, flow, and design allows her to identify opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed, offering a more comprehensive perspective when evaluating a home. For Lissette, building lasting relationships is just as meaningful as achieving exceptional results. Her international background and fluency in Spanish, English, Hungarian, and Russian allow her to connect naturally across cultures while cultivating genuine relationships built on trust, understanding, and a deep appreciation for each client's individual goals.
Beyond real estate, Lissette has a longstanding passion for the performing arts, with a background in playwriting, directing, stage production, set design, and costume design. Most recently, she wrote and copyrighted an original musical comedy, reflecting the same creativity and storytelling that continue to inspire her work today. In her free time, she enjoys Miami's vibrant lifestyle and spending time with her family, while continuing to find inspiration in design, architecture, and the city's ever-evolving character.
