Buying a Property in Miami Beach and South Florida

Find a place you love. Understand what you are buying.

A property can look right in photographs and still leave you with questions. Is the asking price reasonable? How does it compare with other residences in the building? What should you know before making an offer?

I built Zilbert.com so you can explore those questions on your own. When you are ready, we work through the answers together.

Talk with Mark about buying or explore properties first.

Start with a clearer picture of the market.

On Zilbert.com you can explore available properties, floorplans, pending sales and recorded sale prices. You can see what buyers have actually paid and how today’s listings compare.

That gives us a real starting point. We look at the sales that genuinely compare, account for the differences between properties, and discuss where an asking price stands in the market as it is now.

Look closely at the details that matter to you.

Two residences in the same building can offer very different experiences. The view, the light, the layout, the outdoor space and the position within the building all deserve attention.

With more than two decades in South Florida real estate, I help you compare those details and narrow your search around how you want to live. We also consider ownership costs, building information, and the questions that need further review before you decide.

Whether you have one building in mind or are still choosing a neighborhood, we can start where you are.

How we will work together.

Before we tour properties together, we put our arrangement in writing. That agreement sets out what I will do for you, how long it runs, how my compensation is set and who pays it. You will see it and understand it before we see anything, and I would rather walk you through it than hand it to you.

Have a plan when you find the right property.

When you are ready to make an offer, we discuss price, terms, timing and the evidence behind our approach.

I guide the negotiation and help coordinate the steps toward closing, working with your lender, attorney, inspector and other professionals as needed. You will have someone to explain what is happening and help you weigh the decisions along the way.

Explore new developments with the same care.

A new residence brings a different set of questions: how the floorplan will live, what the views may be, what is included, and how the purchase and delivery schedule work.

I can help you compare projects, review the developer information that is available, and identify the details to put in front of your attorney and other advisers before you commit.

Buying from somewhere else?

You can begin your search wherever you are. We narrow the options, plan viewings around your availability, and decide what can be handled remotely and what needs a closer look in person.

The goal is to make your time here useful, and to keep you informed when you are away.

Tell me what you have in mind.

Send me a building, a listing, or a few thoughts about what you are looking for. Your preferred areas, budget, timing and the details you care about most are enough to start.

If you are already considering a property, send it over. We can talk through what stands out and what deserves a closer look.
