Guest somefiercehouse Posted December 7 Report Share Posted December 7 I work as an assistant to a Realtor here in Orlando and I just passed my state exam and got my license and all. I was wanting some info on what the market is like down in Miami, how it is being an agent in Miami, just some basic info on Realtors there and that kind of stuff.Thanks for any input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest slamminshaun Posted December 7 Report Share Posted December 7 I'm Vice President of Mortgage Banking at First National Bank in Port St. Lucie, one of the hottest markets in the country right now. Many Realtors in Miami are cashing in on the equity in their own home to move to the PSL area, where being an experienced, aggressive Realtor equates to HUGE $$$$. The Miami market is also very hot from what these Realtors tell me, but unless you cater to high-end clients, they say its almost not worth the trouble. The average home price in Miami is well over $300K, which is typically beyond what the average middle class buyer can afford. PSL offers opportunities to post alot of sales, since home prices are relatively more affordable. Some Realtors still live in Miami, but do most of their business in the PSL/Stuart/Vero Beach area. Congrats on passing the exam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on passing the exam.Thanks man!Good info for sure! My aunt works in PSL doing mortgages, I don't remember the name of her brokerage though. I'd like to move down to SoFl in a year or so and if possible would still like to continue my career in Real Estate, but my fear was exactly what you said...that you really have to be an experienced agressive sales person to sell homes to high end clients to be successful.....i better get crackin then I guess!

Guest tres-b Posted December 8 Report Share Posted December 8 Congrats on passing your exam. I do brokerage in Atlanta. My focus is multi-family, but my firm does land as well as retail centers.Miami as well as South Florida is an extremely hot market. There are a variety of sites you can check out to pull this kind of info but here is an article focusing on REIT activity in the Southeast. It sounds like you are more residential oriented, but the article is informative and the site is worth knowing...http://www.southeastrebusiness.com/articles/NOV04/cover1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
