The recent market activity for Miami Beach luxury homes, especially for premier waterfront properties, and South Beach condominium buyers is impressive. Although the national newsmedia continues to tell us that the national housing market is depressed, I can attest that my team and I are VERY busy these days. Almost all of our listed properties, whether they be single family homes or condominiums in both Miami and Miami Beach, have either sold or are under contract with well-qualified Buyers.

As I write this, in early January of 2011, my team and I have been overwhelmed by the strong Buyer activity of the past two months as high season has kicked into gear for Miami Beach Real Estate Buyers and Sellers. We're averaging a new Buyer inquiry EVERY HOUR- these usually come from our various Miami Beach condominium and luxury homes websites, and our international Brokerage partner portals in Latin America.

As our inventory of exclusively listed homes and condominiums in Miami Beach has been sold, we've been actively reaching out to homeowners in our target market of Miami Beach homes and condos. Potential sellers should be capitalizing on this growing demand for premier Miami Beach homes and condos from both USA-based and International Buyers by working with the RIGHT marketing Real Estate Agent / Brokerage Firm.

Key traits that Sellers should look for in a Miami Beach Real Estate Agent:

  • In my experience, an international and broad-based real estate marketing plan requires a professional real estate TEAM.
  • This team should have a professional and well-trained staff with specific administrative tracking systems in place to handle QUALIFIED Buyer leads for Miami Beach exclusively listed properties .
  • Also, a well-trained and market specific sales staff (experienced and licensed Realtors) that specializes in a specific market segment, for example, Miami Beach waterfront homes.
  • Our affiliation with Fortune International Realty and Development also allows us to provide our clients with unparalleled marketing- with a truly global reach with wholly owned and operated offices in Brazil, Argentina, and International real estate marketing partnerships in various East European capitals.

    You’ve entertained the thought of investing in Miami Beach luxury homes but you don’t want to take the risk of losing money since prices are still going down, that’s certainly understandable. In such a situation, it may be wise to seize upon the heightened demand for rental homes which produce a steady income and can be sold off once the South Florida real estate market gets better. Becoming a landlord of sorts does however come with a few important items to be aware of.

    A rental home is a business. While for you it may simply be a residential property investment, the money generated from rent is a form of income which means it’s taxable. Most insurance policies do not cover what is now a business which means you may need to take out additional insurance in order to protect tenants and the property itself in case of damages.

    Lawsuits do happen.In a perfect world tenant lawsuits would not exist but they can happen. Strongly consider hiring a lawyer or property manager who knows what laws and regulations the state has when it comes to rental property. They can also make sure the rent you’re charging for that Miami Beach oceanfront condo is justified.

    Appearances are deceiving. Anyone can say they’re financially responsible but their credit report may prove otherwise. Taking the time to know who the tenant is and whether they’re a financial liability waiting to happen can save you headaches and lots of money in the end. With that in mind, it may be wise to consider a lease to reduce the chances of the tenant suing you if they’re evicted.

    Rental properties are homes themselves.They may not have the same appeal as actually owning a Miami Beach home but tenants still put a lot of importance on the appearance and upkeep of the property they’re paying rent for so it ultimately works in your favor to ensure it looks nice and is well maintained.

    The Kleer Team specializes in renting luxury condos in South Beach, Miami Beach, Bal Harbor, Sunny Isles Beach, and Downtown Miami.
