In Downtown Miami the first call decides who is in the room for the next two years. Three kinds of people take it, and only one of them works for you.
This page answers a first question. Whether a building suits you is a separate conversation. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.
The developer’s sales gallery. Polished, fast, and paid by the developer. The person you meet there works for the seller; the developer’s own paperwork says its oral statements cannot be relied upon.
A real estate agent. Licensed and paid a commission by the developer at closing whichever building you choose. A good one works hard for you; the structure still rewards a closing over a warning.
A buyer advisory. A team that takes only the buyer’s side, reads the developer’s documents against you, and is prepared to say not this one, or not yet. Paid the same commission on the same closing.

Who pays you, and does it change by building? Have you read this building’s purchase agreement, deposit schedule and first budget, and will you read them with me? Which line and floor would you buy here, and which would you not? What happens to my deposit if delivery is late?
The right call is the one that is willing to talk you out of it.

Received. A note from the desk is on its way. If it has not arrived within a few minutes, please check your spam folder and mark it as not spam, so we can reach you.
We hold no listings and we are not the developer. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier and we will tell you what applies to your situation, what does not, and where we would not proceed. In Downtown Miami that usually means the block before the building. Where a question is legal, tax or structuring, we introduce you to advisers who handle that properly rather than answering it ourselves.
