Maria Gabriela Joy, Property Manager
Boca Grove
Gaby Joy spent 14 years moving up the ladder in the construction industry, finance world and property management in roles ranging from receptionist to human resources to assistant project manager. A determined and driven single mother, she forged ahead in her career with a natural affinity for facts and figures, which made her adept at learning statutes and laws and enforcing compliance.
Gaby also mastered the financial aspects, landing her in the equity-owned community space at Boca Grove. After six years in accounting, an opportunity arose to combine her 22 years of knowledge as property manager. As a Florida Licensed CAM, Gaby has implemented changes and helped many residents settle into their new homes.
Q: What makes Boca Grove special?
A: Boca Grove offers the lifestyle of a large resort but with the intimate feel of a small family. Our community of 444 homes sits on 330 acres and surrounds a championship golf course with no tee times, a professional tested racquets program, award-winning cuisine and a state-of-the-art sports and wellness complex. Even with all of these amenities, what really makes Boca Grove special are our people.
Q: Why do people choose Boca Grove over another community?
A: Boca Grove attracts members with its beauty, from the undulating lush landscaping to the lakes with fountains, to the properties that are as unique as our members. They stay because they find a sense of community here among both homeowners and the team that keeps the property and amenities running. Our boutique size allows everyone to get know each other and really fuels camaraderie.
Q: What do you enjoy most about your role?
A: I love seeing people find or create their dream home in Boca Grove. We have sold more than 100 homes since August of 2020, most involving enhancements including landscaping, renovations or complete rebuilds. I find such joy in meeting a new family and watching them grow generationally, but what always grows most is the sense of belonging at Boca Grove.
