Why Shenandoah Properties are So Desirable

  

Shenandoah Stands the Test of Time With Highly-Sought Properties

Miami, United States - November 29, 2022 /RGL Real Estate, LLC/

If there is a community that could meld history, modernity, culture, and convenience into one place, it would be the community of Shenandoah. From its inception in 1919, the community of Shenandoah has been diverse and offers a wide array of housing options, from modest homes to luxury properties harmoniously arranged in stunning streetscapes, explains the founder of RGL Real Estate and luxury property expert Nick Robinson. 

Shenandoah’s Location 

Nestled between The Roads, Silver Bluff, Coral Gate, and Little Havana, the community of Shenandoah extends from SW 12th Avenue to SW 27th Avenue and north-south from Calle Ocho to Coral Way. The community has a spectacular view of downtown, but on a breezy day can smell and feel the ocean mist in the air. Just minutes from Brickell, Coconut Grove, and Downtown Miami, Shenandoah is a community that leaves nothing to be desired. 

Accessibility in Shenandoah

In addition to being ideally located to enjoy all of Miami’s attractions, restaurants, and nightlife, the community of Shenandoah also rates very highly in walkability and transit scores. As such, most errands could be accomplished on foot or by bus if that was a preference. 

The community also boasts nine electric-vehicle charging stations and 24 level-2 charging points for those that have electric vehicles. 

Properties in Shenandoah 

Many homebuyers put Shenandoah properties on the top of the list, and for a good reason, according to realtors in Miami. Shenandoah has the highest concentration of beautiful homes in Miami from the 1930s and 1940s. Most of the homes in the community are more modestly sized 2-4 bedroom properties, with many that have been upgraded with upscale modern amenities. Lot sizes are comfortable and generously sized. 

The Shenandoah neighborhood is also architecturally significant. It is home to one of the most extensive and complete collections of Vernacular and Revival-style architecture in the City of Miami.  The neighborhood also boasts notable examples of nearly every other major architectural style from the 1910s to the 1960s. The architecture is also climate-adapted, with large porches and many windows to let in natural lighting and cross breezes. Many properties include local natural materials, including coral rock and clay tiles.

Shenandoah’s Community Life 

Thanks to very active volunteers, Shenandoah enjoys a vibrant and connected community life. Civic organizations plan and organize regular community events and restoration projects and work closely with the community to achieve goals that benefit the community. 

Choosing a Miami Real Estate Agent 

For those looking to buy or sell a home in Shenandoah, choosing the right Miami real estate agent is important. Here is why that plays a role in both buying and selling a home. 

• Not all agents have the same experience level, leading to mistakes and delays. 
• Expert agents are highly skilled in negotiations, so clients get the best deal possible. 
• Skilled and active agents have a long list of connections which is beneficial to finding the right home or highly-motivated and qualified buyers. 
• The best realtor in Miami knows the community and its amenities, hidden gems, travel times, schools, and more.

Buena Vista Miami Offers Opportunity and Advantage to Buyers and Investors

 

RGL Real Estate Discusses the Community of Buena Vista

Miami, United States - December 21, 2022 /RGL Real Estate, LLC/

If there were one community that could tell the story of Miami in just a few blocks, it would be the historic community of Buena Vista. It maintains the perfect balance of a beautifully established residential community with quiet streets and lush Florida landscaping yet within walking distance of the vibrant downtown lifestyle, shares the founder of RGL Real Estate and luxury property expert Nick Robinson.

Buena Vista’s Location

What started as a small village in the 1890s saw development during Miami’s Land Boom, and today is a small community of highly desirable properties. Buena Vista borders the thriving Design District, Upper East Side, and Wynwood neighborhoods. The community spans from N.E. 48th Street and N.E. 49th Street on the north; N.E. 2nd Avenue on the east; N. Miami Avenue on the west; and N.E. 42nd Street and the rear lot lines between 41st Street and N.E. 42nd Street on the south. 

Buena Vista Properties

When potential homebuyers say they want a home that offers a close neighborhood feel but has all the advantages of the city, historic Buena Vista is often the first community that comes to the mind of realtors in Miami. 

The community features high-value midsize homes with ample yards and lush landscapes. Reflecting the growth and prosperity of the era, the architecture of the homes in Buena Vista represent beautiful examples of Mediterranean Revival, Mission, Pueblo, Bungalow, Art Deco, and vernacular-style buildings. 

The neighborhood enjoys an eclectic feel that is true to Miami’s rich history and diversity. Properties in the community are well situated for investors, short-term Airbnb rentals, individuals, or a family looking to be close to midtown Miami and all the outstanding amenities.

 

What Makes Buena Vista So Special?

Buena Vista offers a host of advantages that those in the know like to keep close to the vest. Though a historic community, it is also a burgeoning one. It is located at the confluence of art and design districts and within walking distance of spectacular shopping and fine dining. 

It is supremely located for easy access to work and play and enjoys phenomenal schools within the district. Buena Vista is a secret oasis of beauty, connection, community, and serenity amid all the best that Miami has to offer.

However, Miami luxury realtors know that amenities alone are not what makes the community so special. Buena Vista is a diverse, dynamic, creative hub that is open to opportunity. It embraces everyone at every stage, from families and tech execs to part-time residents, authentically and without hesitation, making it easy to call the community home. 

Accessibility in Buena Vista

Buena Vista gets high scores for walkability, and most daily essential tasks can be accomplished on foot, in addition to being within walking distance of an astounding number of “non-essential” resources for arts and entertainment. 

The community also enjoys access to the public transportation system. The MDC provides bus transit to the area with 102 MDC bus stops in Buena Vista, Miami. The community is situated near the I-95, FL-112 Toll, and FL-112 and within an easy drive to the Miami International Airport. 

The modern community is also home to 4 electric vehicle charging locations, 18 level-2 charging points, and 14 DC fast charging points.

Finding the right Miami real estate agent is critical when buying or selling a home in Miami. Here’s why.

• Experienced agents help avoid delays. 
• The best agents are skilled in negotiations.

Tips for Moving With Small Children

 

Miami Luxury Real Estate Agent Shares Tips for Moving With Small Children

Miami, United States - December 14, 2022 /RGL Real Estate, LLC/

Once you have found the perfect South Florida Luxury home, the monumental task of moving begins. “While as an adult it is an exciting—and exhausting— task, for children and teens it can be a time of fear and anxiety,” shares the founder of RGL Real Estate and luxury property expert Nick Robinson.

Even the perfect home with a big backyard, friendly neighbors, excellent schools, and nearby playgrounds may not sound ideal to children worried about settling into a new environment and dealing with the many unknowns. Along with a lot of patience and understanding, here are some important tips for helping kids navigate the moving process. 

Talk About the Move Before Hand

Talk about moving before the process begins. Depending on the age of the children, try introducing the idea through books such as My Very Exciting Sorta Scary Big Move, a workbook for ages 5-7, written by Lori Attanasio, Ph.D. Another great book to help start a positive conversation is The List of things that Will Not Change by Rebecca Stead.

Involve Them In the Process

A great way to lessen the anxiety is to involve the kids in the process. Have the Miami real estate agent ask for their opinion where appropriate by asking questions such as “Bryan, what kind of things are you looking for in a home?” or “Emma, is it important to have a park in your new neighborhood?” The agent can remind the children of the things they liked during the process. The agent can also do things such as print “official” paperwork for the kids to sign when you find the ideal property to help them feel as if they are an important part of the whole moving process.

Give Them A Job to Do 

Give each child a kid-friendly camera and ask them to take pictures of each property and the features they like most. This strategy provides a window into their likes, helps get them excited about the possibilities, and provides a feeling of control over the process. 

Visit Local Attractions

Ask the Miami real estate agent about area family-friendly activities. As experts in the area, they can recommend activities to help reluctant or anxious kids get excited about their new community by visiting some of the family attractions, such as the Miami Seaquarium or the Tidal Cove Waterpark. 

Get Involved Before the Move

If the move is local enough, get involved in the local community as soon as possible. Join local playgroups, the YMCA, or a community of faith. Try spending time at the nearest playgrounds where the children are most likely to meet kids attending the same local school. All of these provide a way to get to know kids in the community, jumpstart friendships, and help them know that they have friends waiting for them at the new home. 

Carry, Don’t Pack Comfort Items

Pack up non-essential items first and involve the kids in the process. Have a special box to put all the most special items in, and allow the child to carry comfort items such as a special blanket or stuffed animal during the moving process. 

Get to Know the Teachers Before The First Day of School

Moving to a new school is one of the things that produce the most anxiety for kids. Allow the student to meet their teacher before their first day of school and find out if it is possible to facilitate a fun activity, such as an art project, to help ease into the first day with less stress. 

Children are resilient and highly adaptable, but that doesn’t mean moving will be easy for them. However, implementing a few fun tips can lessen the anxiety and make a move a positive experience.

Top Mistakes Home Sellers Make and How to Avoid Them

Miami, United States - December 5, 2022 /RGL Real Estate, LLC/

With property inventory down and demand up throughout the US, getting top dollar for the property may seem guaranteed. But, getting top prices can be difficult when tried, and true practices are ignored. 

“No matter the market, there are some common mistakes sellers should avoid if they want to get top dollar for their property,” shares the founder of RGL Real Estate and luxury property expert Nick Robinson.

Six top mistakes to avoid when selling a home

Not Working With an Area Expert

Not hiring a luxury real estate agent to represent the seller’s interests may seem like an easy way to save on commission. But, an experienced agent brings a lot to the table, and without them, the seller is likely to encounter many costly mistakes as well as increased stress. 

For-Sale-By-Owner properties tend to sell for a lower price and do not have the advantage of a professional negotiator, market knowledge, sales experience, and more. Additionally, sellers are far more emotionally involved, which can lead to fatigue and making regrettable decisions. Realtors in Miami help ensure sellers get full market value for their property. 

Hiring a Realtor for the Wrong Reasons

The choice of a real estate agent can have a huge impact on whether a home gets its top price, so it is important to conduct research. Hiring an agent based on the lowest commission or the most enticing promise of getting the highest price is the fastest way to ensure a complicated and less favorable process.

Asking friends and looking at reviews is an excellent place to start finding a qualified agent, but it is also important to look more deeply at the potential agent’s qualifications. Just because an agent is recommended, works in the area, and may have worked with several clients with luxury properties, it does not necessarily make them suitable for every luxury property transaction. 

A Miami luxury real estate agent should have a deep knowledge of the area and its market. They should also have a list of contacts,  proven skills in tough negotiations, and experience working with a wide range of people, domestically and internationally. 

Overpricing the Property

One of the most common mistakes home sellers make is overpricing the property. Buyers working with agents will know the approximate value of a home, and a home that is significantly overpriced signals to potential buyers that the seller has unrealistic expectations and is unwilling to negotiate. 

An experienced Miami real estate agent will suggest a competitive price based on the selling price of similar homes in the area. Agents are skilled at attracting the most potential buyers to the home while getting the best price. 

Getting Emotionally Involved

Selling a home is an emotional process. After all, it is natural to get attached to a property where the residents have celebrated milestones and made many memories. One of the best reasons to work with a realtor is that the seller can remove themselves as much as possible so that emotions do not get in the way of negotiations.

Emotions can make the seller overvalue the property or cause them to react when a buyer comes in with a low offer. Many buyers do not intend a low offer to be a personal affront but a starting point of negotiations.

Cutting Costs on Professional Photography

Homebuyers today begin the buying journey online, so a home’s online profile should be as professional as possible. It is important to avoid using lenses and angles that cause the rooms to seem disproportionate to their actual dimensions can be a serious turn-off when buyers see the home in person. 

Most professional real estate agents include professional photography as part of their services to accurately and positively represent the home. This ensures that the listing reaches and attracts the greatest number of potential buyers. 

Believing Renovations Provide a 100% Return

Renovations can add value to a home, but that does not mean that all renovations create equal or provide the same kind of return. Always talk to a realtor about renovations, especially if the renovation intends to boost home value.

Luxury Property Expert Discusses Coral Gables, "The City Beautiful"

 

Nick Robinson Discusses Why Coral Gables Continues to Attract the Elite

Miami, United States - November 23, 2022 /RGL Real Estate, LLC/

Known locally as “The City Beautiful,” the properties in Coral Gables are among the most desirable in all of South Florida. 

“From its natural beauty and upscale amenities, Coral Gables has perfected the luxury lifestyle,” shares the founder of RGL Real Estate and luxury property expert Nick Robinson.

Founded in the 1920s, the world-renowned Coral Gables was South Florida’s first master-planned community and was explicitly designed to attract the elite looking for the most exclusive lifestyle. The community remains one of the finest examples of the City Beautiful Movement, known for implementing public art and strict zoning regulations. The picturesque community is largely modeled after turn-of-the-century Venice and Granada and features manicured landscapes and stunning Mediterranean architecture.

Coral Gables Properties

When a homebuyer wants a luxury home in an idyllic setting with an abundance of amenities, an expert luxury real estate agent will most certainly recommend properties in Coral Gables. 

Homes in Coral Gables represent popular designs from 1920 to the present day. Among the architectural designs, Mediterranean Revival is the most common, evoking an Old World feel in a tropical paradise.

 The homes feature large yards with lush landscapes and are situated along wide, tree-canopied streets. Many of the homes are waterfront properties along Biscayne Bay or one of the community’s many canals. Other highly-sought properties are located in the Country Club of Coral Gables Historic District, where homes are designed by many of the most notable architects. 

The Coral Gables Community 

Bound east to west by Douglas Road to Red Road and north to south by SW 8th Street to Old Cutler Road, Coral Gables is one of the most beautiful and exclusive communities in a city filled with indescribably luxurious communities. 

The city’s architecture is almost entirely Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Renaissance, as was set out in the original design. Interestingly, the city’s developer George Merrick was awarded the Order of Isabella the Catholic by Spain’s King Alfonso XIII to support Spanish culture in Coral Gables. 

Amenities in Coral Gables

Coral Gables is the perfect location for homebuyers that want to live as if they are on a permanent vacation with plentiful nearby entertainment, shopping, and adventure. It is well-known for the historic Venetian Pool, a Venetian-style lagoon formed from a coral rock quarry and natural aquifer, the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, Biltmore Hotel, and many other famous attractions. The community is also home to one of the most popular destinations for upscale shopping and fine dining, Miracle Mile. 

Finding a Qualified Luxury Real Estate Agent

The luxury real estate market is unlike any other and successfully navigating it requires a highly-specific and finely-tuned skillset. Whether buying or selling a home in Coral Gables, the journey begins with finding a qualified Miami luxury Realtor. 

To find the best Realtor in Miami, look for these things:

• Extensive experience in luxury real estate
• Demonstrated skill in high-level negotiations
• Experience with international buyers
• Keen knowledge of the area markets, its amenities, hidden gems, travel times, schools, and more. 
• Extensive connections with motivated buyers and sellers
• Values continued education
• Excellent reviews
