Testimonials

Marcelo is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and has fantastic communication skills. I’ve lived in Florida for 43 years and have moved 26 times. Obviously, I know and have experience dealing with Realtors®. When I decided to move to Brickell I also made the decision to research brokers in Miami Downtown, Brickell, Edgewater, and Midtown. I found Marcelo online and he asked me the right questions. What were my needs and wants? He immediately knew what to show me. I met him on the Sunday of that same week and he scheduled 3 showings. I also was hesitant about moving because I already was in contract to buy a condominium in Palm Beach County. He asked me “Where do you really want to live”! I told him the Miami Brickell area or close to it. Even though I had 30% down on the condominium in Palm Beach County he then asked me if I could still purchase and close on that condo and then buy in…

Marcelo is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and has fantastic communication skills. I’ve lived in Florida for 43 years and have moved 26 times. Obviously, I know and have experience dealing with Realtors®. When I decided to move to Brickell I also made the decision to research brokers in Miami Downtown, Brickell, Edgewater, and Midtown. I found Marcelo online and he asked me the right questions. What were my needs and wants? He immediately knew what to show me. I met him on the Sunday of that same week and he scheduled 3 showings. I also was hesitant about moving because I already was in contract to buy a condominium in Palm Beach County. He asked me “Where do you really want to live”! I told him the Miami Brickell area or close to it. Even though I had 30% down on the condominium in Palm Beach County he then asked me if I could still purchase and close on that condo and then buy in Miami Downtown Brickell. I said I could but maybe I should wait, close, move in and resell that condo. He then asked when that condo would be finished and I said that there were issues and they had given me 3 closing dates and couldn’t finish the project as promised. They were already 1.5 years late and in breach of my contract and I could get my deposit back. Of course, they did not give me my deposit back so I had to sue them. On a side note, another 1.5 years later I prevailed. Meanwhile, Marcelo said why would you want to move twice and there was no guarantee that I would at least break even. He was on point. Then I made the decision to buy in Miami Brickell, downtown. Marcelo on that Sunday showed me 3 condominiums so I could get comparisons, saving the best for last. He needed to do that and he was amazing. The last condo was the one I bought and went to contract the following day in February of 2020 right before COVID was starting. My closing was on a Friday in March of 2020, six weeks after the contract and I already had the Closet Company, Audio Visual Company, Shade Company, and Electrical Company for lighting scheduled for that Monday installation. The move was set for that Thursday. As we all know COVID created chaos and I needed to close on that Friday. Since the lawyers and banks were essentially operating remotely the closing took 8 hours. Marcelo was amazingly confident that we would close and even had the foresight to have my keys, parking decals, and welcome package held at the front desk since the management office closed after 5:00 pm. I have had two deals with this phenomenal man and would recommend him without reservation. In sum, he has been the best broker I have dealt with in 43 years!
