My compliments to you on the terrific job you did selling my house. From our first meeting, you set out a strategy and followed it with almost military precision. When I initially discussed listing my house with you, you indicted that you would take the path of using social media, internet advertising and other less conventional ideas in order to market the house to an international audience. Your plan worked perfectly! Within about a month, my house caught the eye of a potential French buyer who was in the process of searching for a second home in Miami. He was selling his business and needed time to conclude his home search. Because of your sustained efforts to remain in close contact with his realtor, a deal was finally reached. Thanks to your use of truly creative marketing and persistent communication with the potential buyer, all of his questions were answered in real time, and all of the materials and content about the home, location and area were provided instantaneously. The video that you not only conceived but also produced and directed was nothing short of brilliant. Using a drone to take aerial views of a boat docking at the house was a unique way to illustrate the lifestyle the house offered. What a great marketing tool! It was clear to both parties in this transaction that you were thoroughly familiar with the area. You had done an extraordinary amount of work and research in order to bring this house to market for the right price and ultimately you delivered the sale at a number incredibly close to the listing price. In addition to correctly and accurately describing, marketing and pricing the house, you remained involved with all of the details necessary to see the matter through conclusion. Your efforts clearly paid off: this sale set a Miami Shores record both in price and in price per square foot. I would recommend your services to anyone considering the sale of their property. I was truly amazed at the work product you delivered and cannot thank you enough for doing your job so well.

Working with you is a pleasure. Your never ending patience and eye for detail set you apart from experiences I have had with other agents with other companies. I feel safe in saying that if any of my friends need real estate related services, you will be highly recommended by me. Miami can be a difficult city to navigate and you make it seen effortless, this counts for a lot in my final opinion of a person. Each city has it – s own little set of rules and you always seem to be current with each and every one of them. That to me is a very strong indicator of a true professional. It has been wonderful working with you and even more rewarding making a new friend.

I wanted to take a few minutes to express to you how very grateful I am to you for all you did to sell my Mother’s home in Miami Shores. Your dedication, professionalism and diligence went way beyond the call of duty. You did everything possible, in a very distressed real estate environment, to market our property and make sure it had a tremendous amount of exposure. You spent endless hours reviewing and discussing contracts with me. No question or concern was too small for you to go over with me. You were both very available 24/7!! Besides your real estate expertise and credentials you bring a wealth of knowledge in architecture, building, zoning etc., which was extremely valuable. Please know how very grateful I am to both of you for selling my Mom’s home and making the experience such a positive one. You are to be highly commended. I would most highly recommend you both to anyone needing a Realtor.

We had been working with another realtor for several months and started to get discouraged until Ines stepped in and turned everything around. We are so thankful to Ines for making our dream of becoming homeowners come true! Ines made the great experience of purchasing our first home fun, educational, and stress-free. She is so knowledgeable, professional, and committed to her clients. Her passion for her work and her clients makes her the BEST and we cannot imagine working with anyone else.

My experience with Rick Garcia has been nothing short of extraordinary when it came to my real estate needs in both the management and sales arenas.. The assignments were varied in nature and project types, as well as the problems associated with them. Rick tackled all of them with a determination of solving the problems, while keeping his focus on the closing of the transaction. I would not hesitate to use Rick for any future assignments regarding any product type or transaction.

Ines is the best! I learned about her a few years ago though her helpful and informative blog (Miamism.com), when I was researching about the architecture of my 1938-era Miami Shores home. With her architecture background and local-area knowledge, I felt Ines might have some good insight into my home. So, when I was first considering whether to sell, I took Ines up on the offer for a no-pressure assessment of value based on the current market. Ines gave me valuable information about pricing, timing of sales, and staging and presenting the house to show off its best features. This was the first house I ever sold, so I needed some extra hand-holding, and I got that from Ines. During the process, we had a huge issue crop up with our first buyers, through NO fault of Ines, and she made magic happen and found another buyer so that I could meet my goal of timely closing on the house. I don’t think many other realtors could have made that happen as seamlessly as she did. Throughout the process, she was professional, direct, helpful, kind, hard-working, and made me feel like I was in good hands.
