Background

About Erika Collins

I’m Erika Collins, a multipreneur based in Miami, passionate about building businesses, communities, and opportunities that create lasting impact. As owner of Severance Security–Miami, I lead a veteran-staffed firm that provides executive protection and private security services for high-net-worth clients. With a background spanning security, manufacturing, and technology, I bring discipline, strategy, and innovation to every venture. Beyond security, my work in real estate is where my long-term vision comes to life. With a Master’s in International Real Estate from FIU, I specialize in global real estate investment, development, and luxury sales, connecting international buyers and investors with opportunities across Miami and beyond. My expertise extends to foreclosures, veteran-focused housing, and international/medical-tourism-driven investments, blending practical market knowledge with big-picture thinking. At the heart of my career is a humanitarian mission. My husband and I partner with organizations dedicated to rescuing children from human trafficking, a global crisis affecting more than 50 million people. Through ethical real estate development, I aim to tackle root causes such as poverty and lack of opportunity by creating safe housing, jobs, and sustainable communities. I’m also a creative and author, with published work and speaking engagements that highlight resilience, leadership, and the power of vision. Whether it’s launching a luxury resort project, mentoring other professionals, or developing AI-driven real estate systems, I thrive at the intersection of business, innovation, and social impact. For me, success isn’t just about closing deals—it’s about building legacies.
