Buying Coral Gables Real Estate, Brickell Condos And Coconut Grove, Pinecrest, East Kendall And South Miami Real Estate

Although Florida was one of the hardest-hit real estate markets of the past recession, the good news today is that Coral Gables real estate, Brickell condos and Coconut Grove and other Miami real estate are affordable again. Plus, when you look at today’s low interest rates — which most of us are unlikely to see again in our lifetime — buying Miami real estate is not only possible but smart.

Buyers and investors are definitely buying in the Miami area because, today, nearly everyone — including young couples and first-time homebuyers — can get more house for less money! And this is true for even the most desirable locations such as Coral Gales, Coconut Grove, Brickell, Pinecrest, East Kendall, The Village of Palmetto Bay and South Miami.

Looking For Good Schools?

Miami-Dade County Public Schools is the fourth-largest school district in the United States. And because the state of Florida grades all schools in the state from A to F, identifying the best schools in Miami is easy. Typically, the schools in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Pinecrest, East Kendall, Brickell, the Village of Palmetto Bay and South Miami are all rated “A.” These communities also offer good preschools and daycares for tots.

Finding Your Ideal Home

When you choose me, Liz Kenneally,as your Coral Gable Miami buyer’s agent, you get a Realtor® with superior corporate training on how to thoroughly understand my clients’ needs in order to help them. This means I don’t start by showing you homes willy-nilly. Instead, we sit down together and talk. I know the questions to ask to uncover your wants and needs in a home — including needs you may not know you have.

Armed with this information and my in-depth knowledge of the Miami real estate market, I’m able to eliminate those homes that may look perfect online but in reality fall short of fulfilling your needs and desires. With so many homes on the market today, touring only those that are your ideal is a huge time saver for you.

One recent client, an engineer relocating here for a large transportation project, put it in writing when he emailed me saying, “I got everything I was looking for - faster than I could have imagined because [Liz] knew the neighborhood so well. She's so client-service oriented, you'll wonder if she ever sleeps!"

Understanding Your Real Estate Contract

Buying a home is a complex legal transaction governed by federal and state laws and statutes. This makes it imperative that you understand the fine points of your contract. When you choose me as your buyer’s agent, you get a Realtor® whose knowledge and understanding of contracts is supported by 25 years of dealing with and negotiating contracts in the corporate world.

And although I’m not an attorney and cannot give legal advice, I do have a keen sense for contracts and know when consultation with an attorney is needed to ensure the full protection of your interests.

Getting A Great Deal On The Home You Love

Buyers often tell me their greatest fear is paying too much for the home they love. But with me as your buyer’s agent, you can put this fear to rest. Why? Because my negotiating skills are top level and I excel at putting them to work to get you the best price and terms on your ideal home.

A buyer client once told a referral that I will do “whatever it takes within the law to get them what they want.”

And while this is true, I also understand that when negotiating for my buyer, the importance of my reputation and relationships within the real estate community cannot be overstated. One of the things I do for my buyers is to actively network with other real estate professionals. And when the time comes to negotiate a deal, I probably will have already made a professional friend of that agent and he will remember me.

The truth is that I simply love to negotiate. I’m nice but I’m also fearless. A listing agent recently said to one of my buyers, “You should be thankful you have Liz as your buyer’s agent.” My buyer asked why, and the listing agent said, “Because she got you a heck of a deal.”

So if you want to get “a heck of a deal” on a home you love, email me or call my cell at 786-423-3348. I do answer my phone when I’m not with a client. And I respond to voice mail, emails and text messages promptly.
