Elizabeth Costa

Based on years of experience, the Elizabeth Costa Team advises that if you're planning to buy a home—especially in a competitive real estate market like Miami—there are three key steps to take before making an offer: 1.-Get Pre-Approved: This is essential. Knowing your budget and having a pre-approval letter shows sellers you're serious and financially ready. 2.- Define Your Priorities: Make a list of your must-haves (location, number of bedrooms, amenities, etc.) versus nice-to-haves. This helps narrow your search and keeps you focused. 3.- Understand the Market: Research average prices, days on market, and inventory in your target area. Markets like Doral, Brickell, Coral Gables, and Wynwood have different dynamics and price trends. Once you’re prepared, the next step is to work with a trusted local real estate agent who knows the nuances of each neighborhood. Whether you're looking for a single-family home, luxury condo, waterfront property, or new construction, having an expert on your side makes all the difference.

The Elizabeth Costa Team recommends following key steps when selling a home—especially in high-demand areas like Miami, Doral, Brickell, or Coral Gables—because simply listing the property is not enough. Here are three essential tips to maximize your sale: 1.- Price it Right from the Start: Overpricing can lead to longer days on market and low offers. 2.- Use a comparative market analysis (CMA) to determine a competitive price based on local data. 3.- Prepare Your Home for Sale: Declutter, deep clean, and consider staging. First impressions matter, especially in the luxury real estate market where buyers expect high presentation standards. 4.- Market Strategically: Professional photography, targeted digital marketing, and maximum exposure on MLS and global platforms are essential to reach serious buyers—locally and internationally.

"During the first quarter of this year, I had the opportunity to work with two single-family homes—one for sale and the other for rent. The sale was particularly emotional, as it was driven by health-related reasons, and I wanted to support and respect the owners' process of letting go. Within a month, the home had a buyer, secured during an open house I organized. At the same time, several prospective tenants were interested in the rental property. In the end, timing aligned perfectly—upon selling their home, my clients moved into the rental property I had listed, making for a seamless transition. Both properties were located in beautiful gated communities in Doral, adding to the overall satisfaction of the transaction."
