English translation:if handled appropriately
Explanation:
I feel this sentence needs drastic rewriting and simplification. I suggest:

Forty percent of people buying property in Miami come from Mexico, so they represent a major business opportunity for Mexican realtors if handled appropriately.

agree  Carol Gullidge: yep, or anything along these lines, although I might change Mexican realtors to Estate Agents (or realtors for US) in Mexico, just to make it clear that they are based outside the US
