Q: 1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?

Start with a clear understanding of your goals, priorities, and budget, then focus on the right opportunities rather than simply the most properties. In a competitive market like Miami, having an experienced agent who understands pricing, negotiations, and off-market opportunities can make a significant difference.

Q: 2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?

Proper preparation and pricing are essential. A successful sale starts with understanding the current market, positioning the property correctly, and creating a strategy that highlights its unique value. I always recommend working with an agent who understands the local market and can provide strong negotiation and marketing expertise.

Q: 3. What types of clients have you worked with?

I work with a diverse range of clients, including high-net-worth individuals, families, investors, international buyers, sellers, and developers. My experience includes luxury and ultra-luxury residences, waterfront estates, pre-construction investments, and exclusive off-market opportunities throughout South Florida.

Cindy was absolutely fantastic to work with throughout the sale of our apartment. She communicated with us constantly, was incredibly detail-oriented, and always made sure everything stayed on track. Everyone on her team, Andrea, Diana, and Alexandra, was also extremely helpful, responsive, and a pleasure to work with.

Cindy Summer Perez located in Miami helped coordinate our condo search around the Brickell and Edgewater area. Our search was last minute and she had to manage a lot of logistics and even had her colleagues help us with part of the day while she was booked. This group is top notch and she is very professional has a lot of insight into the market in that area.

Cindy was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was very helpful, attentive, and always available whenever we had questions or needed guidance. What I appreciated most about her approach was her balance?she was focused on providing excellent service while also protecting our best interests. She was transparent, accommodating, and truly kept us as her top priority throughout the process. She helped us find exactly what we were looking for in a great timeframe and held our hand every step of the way as we?re now closing on this deal. I would highly recommend Cindy and her team to anyone. She?s great, her team is great, and I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Amazing place to stay! I stayed in a short-term rental condo Summer hosted in Downtown Miami ; walkable to Brickell and Bayside, and the building staff was super friendly and helpful. Summer was great. Quick responses, handled things ASAP, and the place was clean and fully equipped with everything you might need. I?d definitely reach out to her again for help finding a place to stay in Miami (and I highly recommend her).

We were very pleased with the sales transaction of our condo in Brickell. Stepan Rudenko went above and beyond in helping us negotiate and finalize this transaction while we were traveling and helped us handle ii all remotely. This was our second transaction with Stepan and his professionalism and excellent follow up is unmatched.

Cindy Summer Perez is Miamis TOP TIER. Shes professional, knowledgeable, receptive, and a joy to be around. She made our visits efficient, and we found our apartment quickly. Cindy handled all the paperwork and advised us smartly during the negotiation process. She looked out for our best interest, pointing out items that needed to be repaired before we moved, and making sure those were included in the contract. I would not hesitate to work with Cindy and her team again. Shes professional, responsive, and *on top of things*. Cindy, thank you! Were extremely happy with our new home.

Cindy Summer Perez was our realtor in helping us find condos in the Miami Beach area that suited our criteria and eventually led to our purchase of one that we felt so fortunate to get. Unique to Cindy was that she was entirely supportive of what was important to us vs what might be more financially beneficial to her. Cindy was proactive, incredibly responsive, and patient with all of our questions! We would highly recommend Cindy for any and all of your real estate buying and/selling needs! She?s AWESOME!
