Katrina Campins on Life After Miami Social

As Bravo's Miami Social wraps its first season, Premier Guide Miami sits down with real estate powerhouse and cast member Katrina Campins — on business, branding, Donald Trump, and what comes next.. Premier Guide Miami sat down to find out what that means — and what comes next.

On August 18, 2009, Bravo TV aired the season finale of Miami Social — the docu-series following a group of hot young Miami professionals who are corporate types by day and party animals by night. Among the cast: Katrina Campins, founder of The Campins Company Luxury Real Estate and a familiar face from Donald Trump's The Apprentice. Premier Guide Miami's Veronika Pozmentier caught up with Campins by phone ahead of the finale.

Katrina is a role model to many young women throughout the community. Throughout the series her true qualities came through — beautiful, dynamic, driven. She managed to stay above the drama and became something of a head-shrink to her fellow cast members. Her voice on the phone was energetic, warm, and entirely self-possessed.

PGM: What are the differences for you between The Apprentice and Miami Social?

Katrina Campins: It was really a different experience. At the time of The Apprentice I was very young — 23 years old — it was in New York, I worked a lot and I learned a lot, it was intense. Miami Social is in my hometown. It shows my true personality and it showcases my work and business, which are very important to me.

PGM: What were you expecting from Miami Social?

KC: I wanted to inspire people with my business and my personal life. My company is in real estate — The Campins Company Luxury Real Estate — where reputation and word of mouth are everything, so it was a lot about branding. Network and branding are important for the business; I learned that from Donald Trump. On the personal side, I wanted to share my feelings and ideas about divorce with people and the viewers. I got a lot of good responses about that.

PGM: Are you still in contact with Donald Trump?

KC: Yes, more or less. He has always been very supportive of me and he is my mentor, especially for branding.

PGM: Your company caters to an elite clientele and helps athletes and entertainers find the home of their dreams — how did you specialize with this clientele?

KC: I went to the University of Miami and I started my business 14 years ago, becoming a licensed real estate agent at age 18. Very early on I made a lot of contacts in the world of sports and entertainment and built a strong network. My company focuses on catering to sports and entertainment celebrities.

PGM: What are your next projects?

KC: I am very passionate about TV and production. I have a project where I would like to showcase the lifestyle of athletes and entertainers. And of course I cannot wait for Season 2 of Miami Social to start in October 2009.

Katrina Campins is definitively a businesswoman with an entrepreneurial spirit — and a genuine desire to be an inspiring model for women everywhere. Stay tuned for more on this fearless beauty.
