Renting a Condo

In most rental negotiations, the real estate broker represents the landlord or owner. If the broker has a written agreement with the owner, he has a legal obligation to represent the best interest of the owner and negotiate the best deal possible for him. If I am providing you tenant representation, I have an obligation to negotiate the best possible deal for you. Better yet, my fee will come from the landlord or owner, so my services cost you nothing!

Market knowledge and how to best accommodate your needs are the cornerstones of my services. By consulting with you to learn about your plans, needs, wants, and budget I can apply my knowledge of the market and current trends to create an optimal transaction for you.

By having me represent your interests, you’ll be assured of knowing about all of the properties available. You’ll also know what existing tenants at those properties are paying. I will also give you critical insights into many important issues, such as how much you can expect to pay for utilities and how to recognize opportunities for negotiating more favorable terms into your new lease. I’ll find the best apartment for your needs, negotiate the best terms/pricing package possible and make sure your move goes smoothly. I can help you with all facets of the process, from choosing the right building and guiding you through the condo association process to recommending great movers and/or designers to help you get settled. I’m an expert in tenant representation with a proven track record of representing clients throughout Downtown Miami, from Brickell to Midtown.

Once I’ve consulted with you to learn your wants and needs, I’ll do a preliminary search of available properties. Then I’ll do a thorough analysis of each unit, looking at all aspects of the property, rates, terms and conditions. From there we will go over my findings and decide which buildings you would like to tour in person. As we proceed, I’ll give you critical advice on issues pertaining to the lease negotiations as well as give you tips on fun things to do around your new home.

I would be happy to talk to you about the details of the process I’ll use to help you find your new condo and negotiate the best deal possible. You can contact me at 305-741-3713 or at sboggs@ellimanflorida.com. Together we will find your perfect home & have a great time in the process!
