Questions we hear every week
Straight answers about buying, selling and renting in Miami.
Buying
Do I pay for a buyer agent?
Buyer agent fees are agreed in writing before you tour. In many sales the seller covers part or all of it; we explain the options on our first call.
Can I buy if I live outside the US?
Yes. Many of our buyers do. You can sign remotely, and we coordinate inspections and closing on your behalf.
How much do I need for a down payment?
Usually 20 to 30 percent for luxury homes, and more for foreign-national mortgages. Cash buyers can close in two to three weeks.
Selling
How do you price my home?
We compare the last 90 days of closed sales near you, adjusted for size, condition and water access, and show you the data.
How long does it take to sell?
Our median is 38 days on market. Well-priced homes often receive offers in the first two weeks.
What does it cost to sell?
Our commission is agreed before listing and covers photography, video, floor plans and marketing.
Renting
Do you handle seasonal rentals?
Yes, from three-month winter leases to annual rentals, with screening and lease preparation included.
