Veterans Day Spotlight: Andrena Dimitrijevic

In celebration of Veterans Day, we invited members of the Douglas Elliman community who have served in the armed forces to reflect on how their service experiences have shaped their lives and careers in the real estate business.

Andrena Dimitrijevic, Agent, Miami, Fla.

Please briefly describe your military service.

I handled flight records for fighter pilots.

In what ways, if any, has your service experience shaped the way you approach your life and career in real estate?

Serving in the military taught me the importance of precision, accountability, and follow-through—qualities that translate directly into how I serve my clients today.

Managing flight records for fighter pilots required absolute attention to detail and trust under pressure. In real estate, I bring that same focus to every transaction, ensuring my clients feel confident and cared for from start to finish.

What would you like your colleagues to know or understand about your service experience and what it means to you?

My time in the military instilled in me a deep sense of teamwork and service—values that continue to guide everything I do. I’m proud to have supported those who flew the missions, and now, I’m just as proud to support families and individuals as they take flight into a new chapter of homeownership. For me, real estate isn’t just about houses; it’s about helping people find their place to land.
