Reviews of Stavros Mitchelides, Miami Beach Luxury Realtor
★★★★★,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 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!
★★★★★,Taking the plunge and deciding to find a condo in Miami Beach was a daunting task, especially since we were remote, and doing most everything sight-unseen. However, working with Stavros made the entire process a breeze. From the start, he took the time to find out exactly what we wanted, gave us really great advice on what to look for and what to avoid, and set up custom searches for us in his real estate portal. When we were in town on a few occasions, he drove us around and walked us through several neighborhoods, just so we could get a feeling of the different areas around Miami Beach. From there, every time we saw something of interest in the real estate portal, he immediately contacted the listing agent to get more information. Without his guidance, we definitely would have made some mis-steps, and not be as thrilled as we are with our new place. He did an excellent job of detailing out what we needed to prepare, questions to ask, following up with the listing agent, documenting everything, and making sure we were covered with every aspect of the process. He’s an excellent resource of information for everything related to the island; where to eat, where to go out, shopping, avoiding traffic, local attractions, day trip excursions, you name it. I now feel right at home in Miami Beach, thanks to Stavros. He’s more than just a Realtor, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
★★★★★,Stavros has a great mix of knowledge and expertise of area real estate. He is honest and trustworthy. He is a very proactive person and did everything in his power to get us the highest price possible for our condo and we were very excited of the turn around time. We were able to put our home on the market on a Wednesday in July 2014 and had 3 offers after 2 days. All prospective buyers were impressed by the photos. He was extremely helpful in making this process go very smoothly. We would use him again if we were to sell or buy a 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!!!
★★★★★,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 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 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.
★★★★★,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.
★★★★★,Wow did I get lucky to pick Stavros as my real estate agent for a property that I recently sold. I was extremely impressed by his knowledge of the area real estate market as well as market trends. He always acted in a professional, honest, and trustworthy manner. Stavros’ skills as a photographer, marketer and negotiator are all rolled into one. Because of this he was able to sell my condo in less than a week for my asking price. There is no question I would use Stavros again if I were to buy or sell.
