Luxury Homes: Sales & Rentals

"Luxury" can mean a Penthouse in The Blue asking $950,000 or a single family residence on Palm Island for $20 million! Miami offers property for every taste and budget imaginable. And you can be sure, even in this market... while sellers are still selling, buyers are still buying these properties!

Because of the private nature of this market, if you are a serious buyer or seller of luxury homes, please fill out the form below (information always remains confidential). We will set up a confidential conference right away via telephone or meeting, to discuss your personal needs and options. We handle all aspects of high-end homes including renting the property to highly qualified tenants or corporations, and we offer the best property management services available.

Sellers: Request a Preliminary Market Analysis, or a confidential meeting to discuss how we market and sell Luxury and high-end homes, what are realistic expectations, etc.

If you are considering purchasing a luxury property in Miami, there are a few steps recommended:

1. RESEARCH LOCATIONS! Miami is a huge place! Narrow down any particular areas or communities that interest you first (you can broaden your list later). Top "luxury" areas to consider:

•Fisher Island (page under construction)
•Florida Keys (page under construction)
•Key Biscayne
•Miami Beach
•Palm Island (page under construction)
•Pinecrest


2. SHARE YOUR WISH LIST WITH ME! List the most important attributes or amenities the property should offer... ocean access, lagoon-style pool, wine cellar, multi-car garage, tennis court, schools, etc.

3. GET PRE-QUALIFIED/PRE-APPROVED! When viewing luxury homes in Miami, it is important to show you are a serious and qualified buyer. Generally reputable Realtors and serious sellers won't show property to those without pre-approval from a bank and solid financing options available to them.

4. PREPARE YOUR FINANCING! When you find the perfect property, make sure you are prepared financially. Jumbo loans are still available through Bank of America, Wells Fargo and several others - depending on credit scores and amount of down payment, etc. Generally, banks will require at least 20% down... though the average down payment of luxury homes is between 30-50%, even in this market.

5. SUBMIT SOLID OFFER! If the property is a fantastic deal, or has competing interested buyers... it is even THAT much more important to hire an experienced Realtor! Offer the right price, ensure the inspections are done right, get the legal representation you need... so many pitfalls with real estate transactions can be avoided easily when using the right team of professionals starting with your Realtor! Over years, WE have developed THE BEST team available to ensure a smooth transaction and get you into your dream home with joy!

6. SET-UP A SMOOTH CLOSING! We assemble the most reputable parties to your sale process... from inspections to closing. Be careful of using "title agencies"... and always use an attorney well-versed and experienced in real estate transactions! If you don't have your own real estate attorney, we recommend the services of Wadsworth Huott, LLP Attorneys at Law. The buying process can either be a nightmare, or a joy. A good Realtor will stick by you through the entire process by coordinating all aspects of the process, working with all parties involved right up until the day of your closing!
