In today’s real estate capital markets, the narrative is shifting. Liquidity is tightening. Interest rates are stubborn. Institutional buyers are growing more selective. Amid these conditions, developers who once thrived on velocity and hype are suddenly facing a harder truth: stability is the new alpha.

This is the environment where real value rises to the top and where operators, not just builders, are setting the pace. While many firms recalibrate, one has already proven its formula works: Shoma Group, a private South Florida real estate firm with over $650 million in asset sales over the last seven years. However the story isn’t just about the number. It’s about how they got there and who led the charge.

At the helm are Masoud Shojaee, the company’s Founder and Chairman, and Stephanie Shojaee, its President and strategic architect for the firm’s current run. Together, they’ve turned Shoma into a case study in value realization through operational excellence. Shoma is a firm that doesn’t just build to sell, but stabilizes, curates, and exits only at full maturity. With Founder Masoud Shojaee as its anchor and Stephanie Shojaee as its modernizing force, Shoma Group is delivering peak asset returns through operational mastery, not speculation.

Their results reflect that rigor:

• Doral City Place: A mixed-use project sold for $135 million, timed at peak tenancy and foot traffic vitality.
• One Park Square:  A Class-A office asset exited for $96.1 million, one of the highest regional office sales of the cycle.
• The Flats: Sold for $100 million after achieving full lease-up and strong community programming.
• Sanctuary Doral: Closed at $103 million, showcasing the firm’s design-forward multifamily strategy.
• Shoma Village:  A nearly $100 million sale of a stabilized residential property in the heart of Hialeah.
• Strategic Development Site: Divested for $16 million, reflecting keen timing and positioning.
   

While some of these deals were completed in partnership with Related Group, the ability to exit consistently above market lies in Shoma’s internal structure. Under Masoud and Stephanie Shojaee’s leadership, the company has prioritized full-cycle stewardship, holding and managing assets until their long-term value becomes undeniable.

In an era where brand visibility can overshadow execution, Stephanie has found herself in the center of a dual spotlight: one built on reality-tested business outcomes, the other, newfound reality television exposure. Her growing public profile may dominate headlines, but within capital markets and buyer circles, her credibility stems from something more enduring: results.

That balance, between visibility and viability, is one few executives navigate well. Stephanie Shojaee is making it look like a strategy.
