Q&A with Alex: What’s the biggest mistake sellers make in this market right now?

There are three I see consistently, and each one is avoidable with the right representation. 📊

✓ The first is not using the Compass Coming Soon option. Especially during slower months, launching a property before it officially hits the MLS creates early momentum, buyer anticipation, and negotiating leverage that most sellers never take advantage of. It’s one of the most underutilized tools available.

✓ The second is hiring an agent who quickly discounts their commission. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but think about it this way: if an agent folds on their own fee before the negotiation even starts, what will they do when it’s time to fight for your asset? You get what you pay for, and in real estate, that gap shows up in your final number.

✓ The third is not asking for the marketing plan upfront. Taking photos and putting a property on the MLS is a starting point, not a strategy. The right agent has a multi-channel approach - social media, email, video, network outreach, targeted digital advertising. If the plan stops at the MLS, so does your reach.

The sellers who avoid these mistakes tend to close faster, stronger, and with far less stress. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every listing.

: What to Know Before Buying a Condo in Miami

After years of helping buyers navigate Miami’s condominium market, I’ve found that the strongest decisions come from looking well beyond the first impression. The view, the lobby, the amenities, those capture attention. What actually determines long-term satisfaction is everything behind them.

Why it matters:
• The purchase price is only one part of the equation - HOA fees, insurance, taxes, and potential assessments all factor into the true cost of ownership
• Building financial health matters as much as the residence itself - reserves, maintenance history, and association management are part of what you’re buying into
• Condo rules can significantly impact how you use the property - rental restrictions, pet policies, and renovation requirements vary widely between buildings
• Location is about more than the address - understanding surrounding development and long-term neighborhood character is part of evaluating real value

The right condo in Miami isn’t always the one with the largest floor plan or the longest list of amenities. It’s the property that best supports the way you want to live and getting there requires understanding the details that most buyers don’t ask about until it’s too late.

If you’re considering buying a condo in Miami and want honest guidance on buildings, neighborhoods, and what to look for before making a decision, let’s connect.

If you’re looking for a beachfront condo in Miami Beach with over 3,000 square feet, this is the only one at this price point. The next alternative starts at $8 million. 🌊

Beach House 3 at Carillon spans two levels with 20-foot ceilings, a private elevator, and direct ocean views. The full upper level is dedicated entirely to the Grand Suite, private balcony overlooking the beach, two walk-in closets, and a spa-style bathroom.

The lower level has a second primary suite and flexible living spaces with a collapsible wall that expands or partitions the space entirely.

And it sits on the fourth floor, what I call palm tree level. Close enough to the ocean that you feel it, not just see it.

As an owner, you have unlimited access to four full-service pools, on-site dining, and a private beach club.

3 Beds | 3.5 Baths | 3,005 SF

Miami’s real estate market is continuing to build momentum heading into fall. 📊

Key indicators year-over-year:
• Total Home Sales: +9%
• Condo Sales: +11%

What this tells us: condo sales outpacing total home sales is a signal worth paying attention to. Buyers who spent the summer on the sidelines are moving, and the condo segment is absorbing inventory at a pace that suggests the window for patient entry is narrowing.

Numbers like these don’t just reflect where the market is. They signal where it’s heading. Each consecutive month of growth strengthens the position of sellers who are ready to move, and narrows the options for buyers who are still waiting for the perfect moment.

At The Algarin Group, we track these shifts in real time to make sure our clients are always a step ahead, whether you’re entering the market or planning your next move.

Thousands of families relocate to Miami every year. And one of the first questions I get from parents has nothing to do with square footage or floor plans. It’s about the schools. 🎓

The right private school shapes more than your child’s education. It often determines which neighborhood makes the most sense for your family, where you’ll live, how you’ll spend your weekends, and what your daily life actually looks like.

Swipe through for my breakdown of the five best private schools in Miami and where to live near each one. 👉🏻
