As a person who does NOT like real estate transactions, I can say that Ines made the whole process of selling my house quick and painless. Ines was able to walk me through each phase of the sale, from comps to closing, answering my questions and guiding me through each step. Her extensive industry knowledge was invaluable as we navigated the sale.

I also received amazing support from Ines when it came to resolving the inevitable issues that arise. She provided a wealth of resources for tradesmen and professional services that allowed me to quickly address urgent and critical items so as not to delay the sale.

Finally, I would add that Ines' humorous and calm demeanor is a delight. I can depend on her frankness and candor without a concern of an ulterior motive and I was always 1000% confident that she was looking out for my best interests.

Purchasing a home can be one of the most complicated and stressful ventures of your life. There are so many little details that come into play, many of which you may or may not be prepared for. You really don’t know until you begin your search for a home. Luckily for us, a friend had recommended that we contact Ines Hegedus-Garcia when we were ready to buy a home. So when the time came, we gave Ines a call and I can honestly say that it was the best decision that we could have made. Ines was everything that you could hope for in a realtor. She helped us approach the process at our own speed and took the time to answer any questions that we had. In addition to having a vast knowledge of available homes and their neighboring areas, Ines also had an extensive understanding of architecture and design. Hence, we were able to narrow down our search to homes that would truly fit us. Ines was by our side every step of the way and it was because of this, that we were able to buy our home with confidence. Now my wife and I have a beautiful home that will serve as the foundation of our future together. Ines Hegedus-Garcia is much more than a realtor. She is a friend that you can trust in making one of the most important decisions of your life. I can’t say enough about her and I have no doubt that you will feel the same way.

I have been involved in several real estate deals over the past few years and therein have dealt with many real estate agents. Without question my best experience was with Rick & Ines Garcia. They standout from your typical real estate agent(s). Rick is a mortgage broker and accountant so he understood and explained the financial aspect of our deal. Ines is an architect and she helped visualize possible changes that matched our design taste. Furthermore, they did not view us (my wife and I) as clients – they thought of us as their friends. Rick & Ines went out of their way to get to know us better so they could truly understand what we were looking for within our budgetary constraints.

I would like to thank you for all your hard work, perseverance and professionalism over the years. I appreciate your handling of my rentals and sales, despite the many challenges – I could not have asked for a more committed and honest broker. I will highly recommend you.

It is truly difficult to write a glowing testimonial for Ines and Rick. Why? Well, finding words that are strong enough without sounding clichéd, overused, or trite necessitates an unabridged dictionary. So, we’ll err on the side of simplicity. They rock! From the first contact with Ines we were guided with care and compassion. The full story of our recent, successful purchase of a short sale condo in midtown Miami, while appropriate for the Halloween season upon us, is too long and harrowing to recount. However, throughout it all, Ines and Rick were there to keep us calm, encourage our patience, and close the gaps in our knowledge. For example, Ines’s clearly stating right up front that ‘short sales are long and tough, but if you’re patient…’ kept us focused and realistic. She never ‘sold’ anything to us, but rather let us buy. She never forced her perspective on us, but rather shared honest assessment and data for our consideration. She was professional, tireless, and real with us both face-to-face and long-distance. When tough economic reports in the news made us anxious, her insight and intelligence kept us balanced. The process took over five months…five months of little to no movement on the part of the seller’s bank, but not Ines. She moved! She was our advocate and communication link while the bank thought about the short sale, misplaced paperwork, thought some more, and passed our offer from level to level, operating as if heavily sedated. The only thing that made us stay with the short sale process, other than perhaps naivete, was the realistic hope that she continued to instill in us (and the desire for warm weather in the Winter, of course.) Completing the picture, Rick offered the detail, humor, and smarts that were needed to help us get the right mechanics moving. If the bank was going to slow this down, Rick and Ines ensured that we wouldn’t. So, while we’re not ones to gush, in rereading what we’ve written above about Ines and Rick, we realize it’s nearly a love letter. So be it. It’s deserved. If you have any choice in the team with whom you work on your real estate search or transaction, the choice is clear and absolute: Rick and Ines. Period.

I first met Ines and Rick when we were purchasing a home several years ago. We had a tough time finding a realtor who understood our needs, was responsive, and knowledgable… that was until we met the Miamism team! We worked with Rick and Ines to purchase a home a few years back and they were the first people we called when we had to sell the property. Ines worked hard to get showings, helped me strategize on offers, and was always there when I needed her — and my house sold in this tough economy! The Miamism team will always be our go-to realtors, and we highly recommend them if you need to buy or sell your property.
