Awesome Rental! Great Work, Brickell Brokers

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I was referred to Brickell Brokers through an associate on set. My boss is a film director in Hollywood and needed a six month luxury rental in South Miami Beach for a shoot this year. He was very specific with his requirements for a property. He wanted a private pool and it needed to be located near his private beach club and golf course. He also needed at least 4 bedrooms for houseguests and a huge open floor plan with a state-of-the-art kitchen.

I spoke with a Realtor from Brickell Brokers on the phone a couple of months ago and they said they would compile a package of prospective rental properties for my boss to review. We really enjoyed the virtual tour option on the website. It allowed us to get a real sense of what these properties looked like from the inside.

I was extremely impressed with the standard of luxury that these properties had to offer. My boss was able to decide on a private, downtown property that came duly furnished with all the bells and whistles. He has been in the home for two weeks. We really appreciate Brickell Brokers for making this process so easy. We will use them again if we ever need their services!

Thank You for Selling our Home! Early Retirement is AMAZING!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My husband and I earned ourselves an early retirement and we knew that it was time to sell our house. Our house was beautiful, had good bones, was on a huge lot and the location was phenomenal, right on the water. However, we knew we would need to make some updates so we wanted to work with a professional who would be able to help introduce us to a trustworthy contractor and who would know what needed to be done in order to get the house sold.

I called Brickell Broker’s because they had done wonders with another property in our community. This house was a challenging sell for other realtors, but I noticed that it sold pretty quickly once the sign changed and some work was done. It seemed like they were quick to get workers into the home and afterwards the house was off the market within a week or so.

We had the same experience with them. Brickell Broker’s sent an amazing woman to our home to meet with us. We did a very thorough walk-thru and then my husband and I vacationed in Italy for a few weeks while all of our remodelling was done. All that was left to do when we got back was to move out and move on! Our life barely skipped a beat and that is what we wanted to experience.

Best Deal on a Townhouse! Thank you, Brickell Brokers!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My partner and I purchased a townhouse through Brickell Brokers last month. We are very happy with our experience. Our broker took excellent care of us. We were not very specific, but we were looking for a high-end townhouse that we can keep in South Florida as a getaway from New York City.

We only come down during the winter and occasionally during the summer time, but we wanted to stop worrying about where to rent every time we came and we figured that we could rent out the property to short term renters while we are up north.

It seemed to be the perfect match with Brickell Brokers because they have found us the perfect townhouse AND they have sent up a rental agreement for future renters. That way, when ever we aren't using the place, Brickell Brokers will be on-hand to help rent it out!

We are so grateful and would recommend them very highly. I felt that they had great customer service and we didn't think that he had much to worry about. Our lawyer looked over everything and said it all looked standard. we can't wait to take advantage of our property.

Woo-Hoo! New House. Thanks Brickell Brokers

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Finding a good rental is not that easy. I looked around online but couldn’t find anything.

I was looking for a high-end condo in a good area and close to good schools. That seems like it would be easy but it wasn’t so I hired Brickell Brokers just to get it done and find something. I was so over it by the time I found them that I was pretty much out of patience with the process. But they brought a whole new perspective to the process and really knew what they were doing.

Within a few days, I had multiple good options and we were touring and doing walk-throughs. A process that only a week earlier I was sick of, I was actually enjoying. Ultimately, we found a good place and made a deal.

I could not have been happier with the whole experience. Thanks guys!

We Found the Perfect Home and Got the Best Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have been trying to find a luxury home for six months for my husband and three children. We were looking for something on a big lot in a community with a pool and we wanted to be as close to the water as possible. After calling Brickell Brokers, my husband decided that they were a good fit for us due to our busy home and work life.

Our realtor gave us a fair amount of options. Each property came with our major requirements, like having a pool and community that would be safe for our young children. These homes were all gorgeously staged and some properties came with the option to purchase the home with furniture, just in case we wanted to opt for a complete change of pace.

After going to a few open houses, we placed a bid and our Realtor took care of the rest. He advised us on how low we could probably go to still please the seller. Once our offer was accepted, Brickell Brokers took the lead on all of the paperwork. They worked with our personal lawyer to finalize everything. It was one of the easiest moves I have ever made.

SELLING OUR HOME WITH BRICKELL BROKERS WAS REALLY EASY

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My wife and I are retiring this year and felt ready to sell our large family home. I was feeling very frustrated because we weren’t getting the offers that we thought we would if we went ahead with all of the upgrades and renovations.

My wife had the idea to use a broker to sell the home, which I was not thrilled about. Brickell Brokers is actually located in our neighborhood, so we went in for a meeting with one of their Realtors. I was very surprised about how knowledgeable he was.

The realtor ended up matching us with a buyer, which made the entire deal easier. The closing was really easy. We ended up selling for a higher price than we were planning, so our retirement is now looking even brighter.

The Realtor is currently helping us look into beach-front condos for when we return from Europe in 3 months. We are very pleased.

A Different (Good) Experience With Brickell Brokers

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

After reading the reviews here I was surprised because I have had three transactions with Brickell Brokers, all of them without a problem.

The first one was renting with them a townhouse, after a while i decided to buy the house and they helped me professionally to get the deal.

Few month ago I had to sell the house due a job relocation , so I asked Brickell Brokers helping me in finding a buyer, they did that and got for me a very good deal.

This has been my experience and I have not complaints against this company whatsoever.

I think many complaints come from people with personal issues with realtors, not with the company.

MOVING IS EASY WITH BRICKELL BROKERS

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I hate moving but Brickell Brokers made this so much better than I expected. Finding the right place and getting a good deal are tough enough, but there is all the paperwork.

It makes my head swim. And then you need movers and utilities etc. Well, my realtor was so good. We met the first time and she immediately put me at ease.

We talked about what I wanted, what neighborhood, schools, and my budget. And she stuck with it. She came back to me with a bunch of pre-screened options, I selected the ones I wanted to see and we went and looked at them. When it came to negotiating a price, she really stuck to my budget.

And the paperwork was a breeze – very organized, so I didn’t have to worry about anything.

She even suggested a few moving companies. Good job.

BRICKELL BROKERS FOUND THE PERFECT HOME FOR ME

I am a busy CEO of a small company who wanted to upgrade my lifestyle here in Miami. My previous home was small and modest and in a less-attractive location.

I was looking for something close to the water. I called Brickell Brokers as a recommendation from a colleague. My assistant was the point person who mostly dealt with the Broker, but I felt that my checklist of wishes was highly prioritized and that they had everything under control.

I really appreciate the work that Brickell Brokers did for me because I had to be more “hands-off” during the searching process.

Now that everything is done, I am really happy with my new home. The entire process was seamless!

REVIEW - BRICKELL BROKERS IS A HONEST COMPANY

I was looking to rent an apartment in the brikell area and when I called real estate companies they never returned my phone calls, when I called Brickell Brokers they reply to me immediately.

My experience with Brickell Brokers was Excellent. I contacted them from Venezuela to find me a rental apartment, and spoke to Jaime Otalora, he reply back to me immediately and send me a list of properties for rent available in the brickell area, I choose one apartment at brickell plaza and transfer the deposit to Brickell Brokers's escrow account and had no problem with them.

I would definitely recommend them to any tenant looking to rent from overseas. Armando Scotti

I totally disagree with you! Brickell Brokers is an honest company and anywhere you go to rent a cheap apt for $1500 they will always ask you a an escrow to present along with you offer as prove of good faith to the property owner.

Perhaps your credit score or background check wasn't good enough. I really doubt they took you money...why you didn't take em to small claims you were supposed to have proof you gave them the money...I don't believe anything you're saying you're full of bologna...

Guest

Nice comments - I learned a lot from the specifics . Does anyone know if I could possibly get ahold of a blank a form document to fill out ?

Guest

After months on the market trying to find a nice place in the greater miami area I, by chance, encountered Lleana and Juan. My experience with the was excellent! They helped my find a place within my budget and negotiated a good deal for me as well.

It's doubtful that you had a poor experience with them and it's even more doubtful that they kept your money. That is a SERIOUS allegation and, in my opinion, slanderous. If you are simply trying to stain their reputation, doing it through a blog is cowardly. Despite the negative comment presented here, I highly recommend Lleana and Juan. Thank you guys!

This was also not my experience working with Nicolas and Ileana. I was in the market for purchasing a home and though ot was a rollercoaster bc of the seller to get my property closed they fought, supported and made it happen even when I was ready to walk away.

I have and will continue to refer them to anyone looking for a realtor.

Dear Mrs Ilka

It is unfortunate that you feel we stole your money, but most of all that you need to create lies in order to support your statement. I have returned ALL your emails and I have proof , and I have tried talking to you several times over the phone but you get angry, start screaming and even said y didn't have anything to talk with me. You SIGNED A CONTRACT and gave us a deposit that was REQUIRED by the landlord NOT US. After having a contract SIGNED you decided to back out and the LANDLORD requested your security deposit money as damages for a contract default. WE DO NOT NEED OR WANT your money! We are an escrow agent, and as escrow agents we need to be impartial and follow certain procedures. I sent you a few emails explaining that we had order an escrow disbursement order to the Florida Real Estate Commission and even sent you a copy of this letter. In the letter it stated that this was not an issue between agents or us as realtors but an issue between landlord/tenant. This means that the FREC can not order how to disburse the funds at that you need to go to court and request a hearing which my broker DID explain to you over the phone. We CAN NOT return your funds until a judge or a mediator decides how they need to be disbursed. WE ARE NOT STEELING your money we are just following the guidelines of an escrow agent. It would be illegal for us to give you back the deposit when the landlord is also requesting it. If you read to the contract you signed it specifically has a clause on security deposits and contract defaults.I have tried to explain this to you several times, but just because you are not getting your money back you decide to bash our reputation. You had a friend of your who is a realtor call us, and he even advise us not to work for you because you were going to make our life miserable.. ( now i understand why)

For all of you reading this complain, please go to thegteamrealty web page and look at our client testimonials. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN FOR OUR OUTSTANDING SERVICE to our clients

It is unfortunate that thi was your experience. Mr.

Guevara from the G Team-Brickell Brokers was a life saver in helping me to find an apartment that fit my needs, particularly since I have two dogs. He was very attentive and listened to what I wanted. In addition Ms. Umpierre was also a pleasure to work with.

She was also very attentive, easily accessible, and made the process very smooth and painless. Working with this team was a very pleasant experience...I have already recommened them to friends who will be househunting in the near future."

Mrs. Ilka,

I am so sorry that you still feel that we stole your money. It is unfortunate that you need to create lies in order to support your claim. YOU SIGNED A CONTRACT, YOU GAVE US A DEPOSIT THAT IS REQUIRED BY LANDLORD, AND AFTER A SIGNED CONTRACT YOU DECIDED TO BACK OUT. We do not need or want your money, the LANDLORD requested your deposit as a default to contract. We are an escrow agent and WE CAN NOT disburse the money if both parties are requesting the deposit. We follow the REAL ESTATE procedure and requested and escrow disbursement order from the Florida Real Estate Commission which I sent you a copy. As explained the FREC said that this was not a dispute between agents and it was a landlord/tenant issue so you need to go to court and ask for a hearing. Neither Juan , David or I have the money. That money is on a escrow account until a judge or a mediator decides how the funds will be disbursed. We are not committing either a scam or a fraud we are just following a procedure that we need to follow. We can not give you your money if legally you defaulted the contract. It is illegal for use to give you back your money if landlord does not agree to a release of deposit.

For all of you who are reading this statement, please take a minute to go to our website and see the testimonials of our clients,

Brickell Brokers Fraud

Brickell Brokers Fraud

Brickell Brokers is a fraud and scam company. Their agent Diana Shay is also the same scam material. Diana Shay Realtor Scam.

They show me apartment for investment when I visiting Miami from Hong Kong. Diana Shay show me bogus apartment and more bogus apartment, then show me okay looking one bedroom apartment with funny smell and said "It is 550,000 dollars and this one is priced to sell. There is no negotiation on this one, you must trust me. You should buy this one, you will make a lot of money. You are very difficult to work with you know and any other agent would have dropped you."

I was very angry, but was tired, so I said to her okay, I will buy. Just let me make some calculation. She then change her game and say "Let me make phone call to see if the apartment is still available because you have wasted a lot of time and this one is very well priced and will sell.

She then talk in some foreign language on the phone to someone. Then Diana Shay Scam says "The seller agent, he already receive offer, but he say to hold for you since you travel from Hong Kong. You are lucky."

Then she start to say to me "Oh, we should celebrate this purchase, let us have dinner and later we can go back your hotel and really shake things up." And she started shaking her breast.

I was shocked by this indecent behavior, she want me to pay 550,000 dollars for sex? Ridicule. Diana Shay Realtor Scam. Brickell Broker fraud.

Brickell Brokers Listing Fraud

These people are crooks and showed the least ethical conduct as a professional real estate entity. I was shocked as an agent myself to find out that one of the Brickell Brokers' agents, Mr.

Jaime Otalora hijacked my listing on Zillow.com and put my property advertisement under his name as if it was him.

I tried to contact him numerously with no avail, so I had no choice but to report the incident to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulations. So please be careful that many of the listings under the subject company are simply not theirs and they are illegally used to lure customers.

Brickell Brokers - Miami - Dishonest, Rude

Anyone in the Miami area looking to buy a home, make sure to stay clear of Brickell Brokers. If you do have to do business with them, GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING.

These guys´s word is worth less than a bubble gum wrapper... We had arranged that they would dedicate part of their realtor commission (from a new home development) to my closing costs... but when it came time for my closing, they gave me 1/2 of what we had arranged.

Home buyer beware! Dishonesty certainly is expensive when it comes to real estate, but it seems that these guys just live for the moment and not the continued advantage of keeping customers happy.
