Power Women 2006: Nancy Batchelor

Nancy Batchelor, a nine-year veteran of the South Florida real estate market, prides herself on her expertise in luxury real estate. Now calling the firm of Esslinger-Wooten-Maxwell Inc. (EWM) home, she lays claim to a Florida real estate license and a Colorado brokers license. Batchelor might just have discovered the secret to success – a love of the city she helps build.

“I love Miami,” she said. “I’m familiar with all of the art and cultural programs. The hospitals. Where do you go when you have a child with challenges? Opera or sports, I know all of the best little things Miami has to offer.”

Batchelor moved to Miami Beach in 1984 and became a licensed yacht broker, fostering a love of boating. The family moved back to Aspen in July 1999 and, until 2002, she sold luxury properties with the high-end firm of Carol Dopkin Real Estate. Now back in town as a full-time real estate agent with EWM, she works mostly through referrals, while juggling a handful of important titles: wife of almost 15 years; mother to a 10, 12 and 18 year-old.

Batchelor can put another title on her business card too: philanthopist.

In April of this year she joined forces with her husband, Jon Batchelor, to help raise $20,000 to benefit Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation’s Hugs and Kisses program.
She was a table sponser at The American Cancer Society’s fifth annual Cattle Barons’ Ball, which netted $230,000. Her philanthropic efforts have supported Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and The Education Fund.

The Cushman School, The Voices for Children Foundation, Audubon of Florida and a long list of others all count the Batchelors on their lists of supporters. Nancy Batchelor and her husband’s philanthropic Batchelor Foundation year after year put South Florida charities on their dance cards in one way or another.

The most recent Batchelor Foundation gift is a challenge grant totaling $5 million to the University of Miami’s Department of Pediatrics. The department will receive $1.25 million from the foundation each year it can match that amount through endowment gifts.
This gift is another in a long and endearing relationship the foundation has had with the department.

The Miami Children’s Hospital is another endeavor Batchelor is happy to support.

“We’re lucky to be in Miami and have great resources like those,” Batchelor said. “These kids would not be alive if not for them.”

This November Miami Children’s Hospital will honor Batchelor at its annual Queen of Hearts Luncheon.
