Reviews of Stavros Mitchelides, Miami Beach Luxury Realtor

Stavros is a really great and hard-working realtor in Miami. He’s always quick to respond to phone calls and texts and he knows the area very well. In addition, he’s very honest and will always let you know the negatives of a place, as well as the positives. Stavros is always looking out for his clients’ best interests - when things went pretty badly during my search (due to other terrible realtors in the Miami area), Stavros worked extremely hard to make sure I didn’t lose the condo I had signed the lease on. Even when I thought I was going to lose my condo and would not be able to come down till Miami until my move-in day, I trusted Stavros to find a condo for me as I was confident he knew what I wanted and would find a good place. Between what I saw while apartment hunting and what I’ve heard from friends down here, a lot of Miami realtors are horrifying, but Stavros is way above the rest of them.

I cannot say enough nice things about Stavros. I was looking for a studio/1 bedroom apartment in Miami which proved to be a very difficult task. After working with 2 realtors with no success, I came across Stavros who was able to find me the place I am moving into. I was really struck by his efficiency (which is greatly appreciated in this Miami real estate market). He responded to my emails instantly and arranged apartment viewings in an organized manner. I also loved his honesty; he was the first to point out the pluses and minuses of apartments. Stavros is thoughtful; he knew how stressed out I was about finding my apartment (I had less than 2 weeks until my move out date to find one) and he was checking in with me constantly, updating me on the process, new listings and such. His interpersonal skills are exceptional; he was very respectful with everyone he interacted with, which facilitated the process of dealing with the landlord, the listing agent, etc. Overall, Stavros made this chaotic process as easy as possible. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to move. You won’t be disappointed!

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 did a great job helping me find a place in South Beach. His local knowledge helped screen locations and places that I would have never known so much detail about to make an informed decision for where I really wanted to be. He also protected me from some common pitfalls by managing the acquisition process making sure everything was checked out and no monies were sent until everything was in order. He has also been readily available for follow ups when I had questions after moving in. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a place in South Florida.

I can't recommend Stavros highly enough. I relocated from LA to Miami with a short timeline. He quickly found a group of properties for rent that met my search criteria. Because he was out of town during the short window that I had available to view the properties, he connected me to his associate Ana who was fantastic!  The first condo that we looked at was a winner and Ana had the lease negotiated very quickly. Ana was also incredibly knowledgeable about the market trends and very helpful with all of my questions about the area. Stavros, I'll be back in touch when I'm ready to buy!

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 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 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.

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.

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.
