Reviews of Stavros Mitchelides, Miami Beach Luxury Realtor

Wow did I get lucky to pick Stavros as my real estate agent for a property that I recently sold. I was extremely impressed by his knowledge of the area real estate market as well as market trends. He always acted in a professional, honest, and trustworthy manner. Stavros’ skills as a photographer, marketer and negotiator are all rolled into one. Because of this he was able to sell my condo in less than a week for my asking price. There is no question I would use Stavros again if I were to buy or sell.

Stavros is different from any agent you will find in Miami Beach. Not only is he knowledgeable about the market and the area, but he is incredibly responsive. I would send him questions about places and he would respond within minutes. When looking at places, he would objectively help me weigh out the pros and cons of each place, very quickly learning my style and what I was looking for in a condo. He persistently tracked down listing agents who would not contact him back, helping to ensure I could see every place in which I expressed interest. When it came time for negotiation, Stavros helped me get a fantastic deal by devising strategies to make my offer seem more appealing. I would highly recommend Stavros to anyone looking to buy or rent in Miami Beach.

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've worked with many realtors, but Stavros is by far the best. He achieves clients' goals with his great professionalism and in-depth knowledge. He goes extra mile to make clients happy. I purchased a beautiful condo in Sunny Isles, all thanks to his great efforts. He is excellent in communication, prompt in all responses, positive, willing, patient, polite, smart, punctual, resourceful, trustworthy, and a happy person. I would definitely ask for his service for future transactions and recommend Stavros to anyone with full confidence. He will make your dream happen!

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.

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 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 was a pleasure to work with! He was our realtor when my husband and I moved recently from New York City to Miami. He is incredibly professional and responsive. He always answered my emails and texts promptly and was patient with my nonstop questions. He helped us find an apartment that we love and made a stressful move so much easier. I definitely recommend him!

Stavros is a voracious reader about anything that has to do with the Miami real estate market. In a trade magazine he learned of a Florida law that stipulates that condominiums cannot charge in excess of $100 for a renter or a new owner to apply to live in the building or transfer a property. The revelation was shocking because most condo associations in Miami-Dade county charge well in excess of the $100 legal limit. Stavros compiled copious research on condo application & transfer fees from the MLS and took the damning evidence to the Miami Herald, who did a full investigation of the widespread problem and published an article that rocked the Florida real estate market. Lawyers are lining up to file class actions at what is likely to be hundreds of condos. The action will please condo purchasers in luxury condominiums, but the biggest impact it will likely have is on low-income families that are applying to rent and buy condos throughout Florida. In reference to my search for a condo in Miami Beach, Stavros was amazing. He particularly excels at research and negotiation. I set an extreme goal with Stavros to negotiate the sellers asking price down by 20%. I never expected him to get there but he did! Hint: Stavros writes the most comprehensive real estate blog in Miami!

Stavros was such a huge help to us in finding our short-term rental in South Beach--even with limited time and our narrow set of specifications. He's a knowledgeable, patient, honest, and communicative realtor. Would definitely work with him again when we're looking to rent or buy in the area. Highly recommended!
