Compass has announced the addition of the Tika Team to its Las Olas office in downtown Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Tika Team is led by broker associate Tika Van Den Hurk, who has closed more than $500 million in sales over the past decade.

The team specializes in south Florida luxury properties — including waterfront estates, condominiums and investment real estate.

“As Fort Lauderdale’s luxury real estate market continues to expand and attract new residents, The Tika Team will be a valuable addition to the Las Olas office, further strengthening Compass’ presence in the market,” said Jeff Polashuk, regional vice president of Compass. “We are thrilled to announce that Tika and her team are joining Compass as they bring their expertise, energy and leadership to Las Olas and beyond.”

Van Den Hurk — originally from Canada — moved to Fort Lauderdale in 2013.

Before entering real estate, she launched a fashion sales and distribution business and later co-founded a technology support company serving Fortune 500 clients.

She most recently worked as senior director of luxury sales at Douglas Elliman, where she oversaw projects such as the Four Seasons Residences Fort Lauderdale.

“Known for record-breaking sales and personalized client service, our team will now have access to leverage Compass’s tools, marketing power and global reach to further elevate the standard for luxury real estate,” Van Den Hurk said. “At Compass, cutting-edge technology meets world-class support. It allows my team and me to focus on what we do best, delivering exceptional service and results for our clients.”
