Indeed, countless foreign individuals and companies are taking advantage of this opportunity. Miami condominiums and townhouses are the most popular choices among international buyers.
Can you explain the concept of condo living? Is condo ownership a possibility for international buyers? The South Beach and the surrounding areas offer a comfortable, contemporary lifestyle for individuals or families. Within a condominium, a buyer owns an apartment but shares common areas with other residents.

Within recent years, Miami has seen the construction of new condos as well as the transformation of older buildings into modern condominiums. The new condos have the latest modern conveniences, feature luxurious touches, and offer a host of services.

Owning real estate is a complex process involving selection of lawyers and bankers, presentation of documents, property research, as well as searches for rules and procedures, and meetings with brokers. Foreign buyers should not put their trust in general public sources of information. Sky Avenue has the expertise/experience and the latest updated information about the Miami real estate market. Sky Avenue provides personalized service for each international buyer. Within Florida, a buyer's commission is also paid by the seller.
I understand that most sellers use a broker. Do I really need a broker's services? The majority of sellers have a broker. Since having an agent offers protection, sellers and buyers should have their own brokers. A seller's broker will not represent a buyer's rights. Foreign buyers need a broker to work specifically on their behalf. A broker can request concessions or intercede for a reduction in price. Having an agent in your corner is essential in finding the right property for the right price. Since a seller pays for a buyer's broker, there is no need for a buyer to go without the proper protection. Buyers should not risk making expensive mistakes by doing it on their own. Foreign buyers need the services of a qualified broker.
I want to check my property title and confirm the legal details. How can I do that? Buyers and sellers need the services of an attorney to perform the title search, obtain insurance, look for violations and liens, and approve contracts. In addition, other professionals are needed to check important details. Appraisers discover the fair market value of a Miami property. Surveyors handle the technical side and look into the property's condition. Architects check on the measurements of the property, and for that final step, mortgage brokers help buyers obtain loans. Sky Avenue connects foreign buyers with the best professionals in the industry.
I want to buy Miami property for rental purposes. Where can I find assistance? There is a vibrant rental market in the city of Miami. Although rent has been increasing in recent years, there are countless tenants looking for apartments. The low vacancy rate in Miami is proof that a buyer can find and keep regular tenants in their apartments.
Most Miami buildings offer only leases for more than six months (long term leases). Yet certain buildings have short term leases which just extend from one month to another. Sky Avenue agents are familiar with all types of Miami rental apartments. Our professional team can set up an individual in the rental business without any undue stress on the buyer. Some of our clients even cover all their mortgage expenses with their rental income. Other clients don't cover their complete expenses but their rental income pays part of their mortgage payment as well as taxes and other monthly bills. Sky Avenue can assist in finding Miami apartment rentals as well as managing the entire rental process for a buyer.
