Celebrating Denise Fernandes & a Dynamic Collaboration of Women Entrepreneurs!

What an incredible afternoon celebrating Denise Fernandes and her well-earned ICON Status with eXp Realty! It was an honor to capture professional headshots and group shots for this inspiring group of women entrepreneurs, each of whom owns their own business while collaborating to provide clients with a full-service experience in home and personal services.

A Team of Women Empowering Homeownership

These dedicated professionals offer a wide range of services, including:

🏡 Real Estate Services – Helping clients buy, sell, and invest in properties. 

💰 Mortgage Solutions – Making home financing simple and accessible. (Danielle DeSousa - Loan Officer, WIN Mortgage) 

🔒 Title Services – Ensuring smooth and secure property transactions. (Talisha Autry - Blue Ocean Title) 

🔒 Insurance Coverage – Providing home, short & long-term, life, commercial, and auto insurance. (Ilyse Pinette - Shane Insurance, Mandy Lorenz - Darr Schackow Insurance)

Each woman in this group operates her own independent business, yet they partner together to offer clients a comprehensive and seamless homeownership experience.

What is ICON Status?

Denise Fernandes has achieved ICON Status, a prestigious recognition awarded to top-performing agents at eXp Realty. This award highlights agents who not only excel in sales but also give back through leadership and mentorship. Earning this honor means Denise has reached significant production milestones while contributing to the success of fellow agents, setting a standard for excellence in real estate.

Supporting Local Heroes Through the Hometown Heroes Program

Beyond their business expertise, these women are proud partners of the Florida Hometown Heroes Housing Program, a remarkable initiative designed to help community heroes purchase homes. This program provides down payment and closing cost assistance to first-time, income-qualified homebuyers, ensuring that those who serve our communities—such as teachers, healthcare workers, first responders, and military personnel—can achieve the dream of homeownership. Additionally, the program offers a lower first mortgage interest rate and exclusive benefits to those who have served and continue to serve our country.

A Day of Networking, Learning, and Celebration

The event was filled with meaningful connections, inspiring conversations, and well-deserved recognition for Denise and her peers. It was a true celebration of women supporting women, business success, and community impact.

Capturing professional headshots for these powerhouse women was an absolute pleasure. A great headshot is more than just a photo—it’s a powerful tool that represents confidence, professionalism, and personal branding.

Congratulations, Denise! Your dedication, leadership, and commitment to empowering others through real estate, mentorship, and community service are truly inspiring. Wishing you continued success as you help individuals and families achieve their homeownership dreams!
