Reviews of Stavros Mitchelides, Miami Beach Luxury Realtor
★★★★★Stavros is very knowledgable of the Miami area and went above and beyond my expectations to ensure I got exactly what I was looking for. He is professional, organized and easy to reach. I would recommend him (and already have) to anyone moving to the Miami area.
★★★★★,Stavros was such a huge help to us in finding our short-term rental in South Beach–even with limited time and our narrow set of specifications. He’s a knowledgeable, patient, honest, and communicative realtor. Would definitely work with him again when we’re looking to rent or buy in the area. Highly recommended!
★★★★★,Stavros helped my husband and I buy our condo in South Beach. He really helped demystify what was at times a complicated and intimidating process; he was thorough, meticulous, and easy to work with. We’re really happy with our new home!
★★★★★,Stavros was a huge help with my transition to Miami Beach! Very knowledgeable on both the area/market and the process in general. An extremely quick response time allowed for a seamless and stress free transaction on all fronts! My somewhat last-minute decision to relocate became a reality when working with him. Thank you, Stavros!!!
★★★★★,I can’t say enough about the service I received from Stavros. Before consulting him I thought I’d be lucky just to break even on the sale of my unit. Stavros came to my home and inspected it, and what I got was a real, honest assessment of what needed to be spruced up in order to command a top price for the unit. He looked at the home through a buyer’s eye, something I needed and appreciated. He then conducted an efficient, targeted search of the relevant comparables in my neighborhood and advised me to list my property for 20% higher than I originally intended to. He then proceeded to personally take amazing photographs of my unit that really showed off the positive attributes of the home. He handled everything from start to finish. He made me feel like I was his one and only client by responding quickly to any calls or emails and I was never left wondering what was going on. The end result was that the condo sold quicker than I ever would have imagined, netting me an additional 20% return on the sale! I would absolutely recommend Stavros to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
★★★★★,Stavros did a great job helping me find a place in South Beach. His local knowledge helped screen locations and places that I would have never known so much detail about to make an informed decision for where I really wanted to be. He also protected me from some common pitfalls by managing the acquisition process making sure everything was checked out and no monies were sent until everything was in order. He has also been readily available for follow ups when I had questions after moving in. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a place in South Florida.
★★★★★,Stavros is a voracious reader about anything that has to do with the Miami real estate market. In a trade magazine he learned of a Florida law that stipulates that condominiums cannot charge in excess of $100 for a renter or a new owner to apply to live in the building or transfer a property. The revelation was shocking because most condo associations in Miami-Dade county charge well in excess of the $100 legal limit. Stavros compiled copious research on condo application & transfer fees from the MLS and took the damning evidence to the Miami Herald, who did a full investigation of the widespread problem and published an article that rocked the Florida real estate market. Lawyers are lining up to file class actions at what is likely to be hundreds of condos. The action will please condo purchasers in luxury condominiums, but the biggest impact it will likely have is on low-income families that are applying to rent and buy condos throughout Florida.
In reference to my search for a condo in Miami Beach, Stavros was amazing. He particularly excels at research and negotiation. I set an extreme goal with Stavros to negotiate the sellers asking price down by 20%. I never expected him to get there but he did! Hint: Stavros writes the most comprehensive real estate blog in Miami!
★★★★★,I began the process of trying to find a short-term apartment in Miami by using Craigslist. Turns out it was FULL of scams! So I turned to licensed realtor in order to feel safe about the transaction. I couldn’t have been luckier to find Stavros. I was looking for a 3 month lease but the way he treated me, you’d think I was buying a multi-million dollar home! He was incredibly responsive to my emails, calls, and texts, day or night. He made time to spend an entire day with my wife and I (on OUR schedule) looking at multiple units. We had numerous hiccups with apartments that fell through for various reasons but he never gave up or let us become frustrated. Stavros’ knowledge of the Miami market was extensive, which was invaluable to us as we knew next to nothing going in. We now have an amazing apartment in our preferred neighborhood and couldn’t be happier! Do yourself a favor and let a true professional help you, whether you’re renting or buying.
★★★★★,I give Stavros the highest possible recommendation. He assisted me with a move to Miami from Washington. DC and his knowledge, professionalism and dedication to his work is outstanding. You couldn’t be in better hands. Thanks Stavros!
★★★★★,Stavros is different from any agent you will find in Miami Beach. Not only is he knowledgeable about the market and the area, but he is incredibly responsive. I would send him questions about places and he would respond within minutes. When looking at places, he would objectively help me weigh out the pros and cons of each place, very quickly learning my style and what I was looking for in a condo. He persistently tracked down listing agents who would not contact him back, helping to ensure I could see every place in which I expressed interest. When it came time for negotiation, Stavros helped me get a fantastic deal by devising strategies to make my offer seem more appealing. I would highly recommend Stavros to anyone looking to buy or rent in Miami Beach.
