We help families and investors buy and sell real estate in South Florida.
We know that buying and selling a home can be both exciting and stressful. The many unknowns, such as when to buy or sell, what price to set, how long it will take, and who to trust, add to the stress and fear of moving.
That is why we meet with every one of our customers before we begin working with them. Our goal is to clearly understand why you're moving and put together a winning strategy unique to your situation.
Our process is proven and predictable. It ensures our customers get the home they want, at the price they want, with the terms they want...every single time.

We Guarantee You'll Love Working with Us.
The real estate agent community didn't want us to do this. They said we were crazy. Maybe we are. But we don't care about what they think. We only care about what you think.
Because no one wants to hire the wrong agent.
You might be asking yourself "How do I guarantee I'm hiring the right agent?"
You don't. To be honest, we don't even know if we would be the right agents for you.
But we are the only agents 'crazy' enough to offer our Easy Exit Guarantee.
It's real simple. If you are ever unhappy with our service and would like to cancel our agreement, you can do so at no charge.
Everyone else has some kind of cancellation fee (that's why they're so mad at us).
Whenever you are ready, click the button below to Book a 15 minute Strategy Call to find out if we would be a good fit.

R. Vejerano
They are very impressive on how they were able to come up for a strategic plan, and to resolve any issues. They are very professional and easy to work with the whole time. I have my faith to me that they would be able to help sell the property immediately and THEY DID IT!! I WAS SOOO HAPPY! I am grateful to work with GREAT people!! I mean GREAT, THEM!!!.
A. Misha
Judy and her team helped my girlfriend and me find a fantastic apartment when we moved to Miami from NYC. Best part, because of Covid, they did this completely virtually, while we were across the country. About four months later, they helped me correct an incorrect bank transfer (mistake on my end), and they did so quickly and effectively. My experience of the team has been that they are professional, knowledgable, and responsive. Recommend without reservation.
