About Adriana Ares

Adriana Ares is not your average real estate agent; she's a strategist, a designer, and a dealmaker with over 8.5 years of experience and a professional background that sets her apart in every room she walks into. A Miami native with deep roots in the community she serves, Adriana brings a rare fusion of business development, interior design, and real estate expertise to every client relationship.

Her career spans architecture, higher education, fundraising, and sales leadership, including nearly two decades at Florida International University and executive roles at ARKO Architecture and her own firm, Adri by Design LLC, giving her an unmatched ability to see opportunity where others see complexity. Currently pursuing her Doctorate of Business Administration at FIU and holding a Master's in Interior Architecture, Adriana combines academic rigor with real-world results. She is strategic, resourceful, and trustworthy, three qualities her clients feel from the first conversation to the final closing.

What truly distinguishes Adriana is her exclusive partnership with ARKO Architecture, which allows her to offer clients far more than a transaction: buyers and sellers gain access to comprehensive architectural planning and permitting services for everything from single-family homes to luxury multifamily and commercial projects.
