Working with Eric Farmelant was an exceptional experience from start to finish. We were selling a renovated investment property valued at over $500,000 that had previously been poorly marketed and delayed in the months leading up to bringing Eric on board. We needed a broker who could move quickly, think strategically, and execute flawlessly under pressure -- and Eric exceeded every expectation. From day one, he implemented precise, targeted marketing that immediately repositioned our listing. Leveraging his strong network, he generated serious traffic right away. Within days of going live, we sourced multiple buyer offers -- and ultimately closed in under 30 days. Eric's negotiation strategies were sharp and deliberate. He didn't just bring us offers -- he brought us leverage. His responsiveness, swift action-taking, and consistent feedback kept momentum high and timelines tight. We placed extremely aggressive deadlines in front of him, and he delivered without hesitation. Beyond the transaction itself, Eric went above and beyond to help us tie up loose ends on project completion so we could get to the closing table smoothly. He operates as a true team player -- collaborative, solutions-oriented, and relentlessly professional. What sets Eric apart most is his passionate accountability. He owns his work. He follows through. He treats your investment as if it were his own. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I would recommend him without hesitation. I look forward to partnering with him again on future projects. read more

I met Eric about 6 years ago not as a realtor but as a friend at the gym. Little did I know his skills, up until I met three other people that had nothing but great things to say about the places they've moved into. 6 years of friendship later and he's made my dream come true with the apartment of my dreams. I can attest that I'm definitely not an easy client to deal with as I'm very stubborn and specific as to what I want. I gave him hell when it comes to options, price and showings but in the end he really came through with what I imaged I could have. In my eyes he comes highly recommended for his skill in finding your exact dream home. I'd 100% would recommend him to family and friends.

We found Eric while searching for realtors in the Miami area who have experience working with remote buyers looking for condos, and couldn't have made a better choice. From the very beginning, Eric was a pleasure to work with--professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us make the right decision. Eric has a deep understanding of the Miami condo market and is extremely knowledgeable about the different neighborhoods and many of the individual buildings. He was able to provide valuable context on pricing, HOA considerations, building quality, neighborhood, and long-term factors that aren't always obvious when you're buying from a distance. What really stood out was his ability to provide sound, well-reasoned advice without pressure. He made sure we had all the information needed to confidently evaluate options and understand the pros and cons of each property. His experience working with remote buyers was evident throughout the process, and his communication was consistently clear, timely, and thorough. I highly recommend Eric to anyone looking for strong buyer representation in the Miami area, especially if you're purchasing remotely. He's knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly great to work with. read more

We are so thankful we found Eric to sell our Coral Gables condo. His analytical prowess for pricing and general discernment was very important to us. When combined with a gentle and unflappable spirit, Eric was about as perfect as an agent can get to handle most people's biggest investment. Eric priced us appropriately and we got full price in literally one day. When there was an issue with the buyer late in the game he went to bat for us and the deal closed. Sincerely, we could not be happier with the service we received from Eric. read more

We've trusted Eric Farmelant at Compass with two moves, and both times he delivered. In 2023, he helped us relocate from North Palm Beach to Miami for a 2-bedroom apartment. In 2025, with a baby on the way, we called him again to find a house in Palmetto Bay. We looked at around 30 homes across different parts of Miami. Eric was incredibly patient and knowledgeable about every property we visited. He guided us through the entire process, from the initial search to mortgage negotiations and closing. We moved into our 4-bedroom home just one month before our second child was born. What stood out: Responsiveness: Eric was quick to reply and proactive with updates Flexibility: He worked around our busy schedule with a 2 year old Local knowledge: He knew Miami well and was informed about every home we toured Guidance: He recommended inspectors, gave us practical home advice, and helped negotiate both the house price and mortgage terms For first-time home buyers like us, having someone who makes the process seamless is invaluable. Eric did exactly that. We highly recommend Eric to anyone looking for a home in Miami. read more

Eric is, by far, the best real estate agent my family and I have ever worked with! Eric is very knowledgeable, reliable, and professional. Eric is available and is always ready to help with anything he can. He helped us sell our house at the price we wanted, as well as he helped us buy our beautiful new home! He was truly on our side, and we will be forever grateful! read more

I think the best thing I can say about Eric is that he consistently puts your interests in front of his own. When we were searching for a home with him, he actively steered us away from situations he thought were not good value, even when they were offering outrageous commissions to him. This happened over and and over again. He is also extremely patient, and did not put any pressure on us to buy something, I believe he said even if this takes a couple of years, I'll help you find your place. Lastly, just want to point out the home he eventually closed for us was at a price about 30% below market, and it is perfect for us. Don't hesitate to work with Eric, we have bought and sold many houses when we've had to move, and Eric is the agent who to us best represented our specific needs without being greedy or impatient. He honestly is more a real estate representative as opposed to a real estate agent. read more

After helping me with a rental when I first arrived in Miami, I didn't hesitate to ask for Eric's help when I was ready to purchase. I unknowingly contacted him while he was at his destination wedding about a house I was interested in. He didn't hesitate to connect me to a teammate so that I didn't miss an opportunity. They helped me successfully get my offer accepted, and Eric helped me through each part of the process to closing. You really can't go wrong with Eric. So grateful for his guidance and expertise! read more

Eric is a well established realtor name at my firm, he has found beautiful homes for several of our new hires in a pinch. I was one of them a couple of weeks ago. I sold my condo in Lauderdale, and in the last minute of the buy side, my deal fell through leaving me without a new place to purchase just as the COVID lockdown was going into effect, and the place I sold closed. I called Eric and explained my difficult situation with only a few days (3) until the lockdown went into effect. Let me say, if I didn't find a place my only option was to go to my parents in Orlando until the COVID impact had subsided. Mind you, hotels were all closing as well. Eric took my requirements over the phone, used his wide network to quickly identify a beautiful home for me to lease in Midtown. He then continued to use his influence to get my lease executed in nearly (48) hours. I moved into a gorgeous unit the day before the lockdown, which saved me from one giant headache! In the past (30) years I have bought, sold, and leased over (20) homes from Miami to New Zealand. I have worked with a myriad of different realtors, and even flipped homes for a minute in 2012. Here in South Florida, everybody and nobody is a realtor. What Eric was able to accomplish in the course of nearly a day, is just unheard of in Miami. He "listened" to my requirements, understood the sense of urgency, followed up, and got the job done! I will be calling him again next year when things calm down and resume my ambitions to purchase a condo in Midtown Miami. In the meantime I am in a beautiful unit that has (5) star amenities. You need to give Eric a serious look when considering a serious transaction like leasing or purchasing a home. Exceptional guy! read more

I recently closed on two transactions with Ibis Realty. I, as I'm sure many in my position, was worried about renting out my existing property in conjunction with closing on something new. Timing and negotiation were key to mitigating cost of carry, while also ensuring I found something new I liked. Not only did I have virtually no overlap, but the prices on both sides were heavily negotiated, leaving me in an even better position than I had anticipated. The property I own was rented out at above market levels, while the property I acquired was obtained at a significant discount to list. I highly recommend Ibis Realty Group and Eric and look forward to working with them again in the future. read more

I was extremely fortunate to have Eric as my realtor. I live in Miami, FL and needed an agent that could help me sell my deceased grandmother's condo in the Gables area. Eric was very personable and extremely thorough and highly professional. He set up all the paperwork, prepared the condo and constantly monitored it.

If you're reading this and you're currently looking for a realtor and or thinking about moving to the greater Miami-Dade area, look no further! Eric is simply the best there is. I moved from Washington DC to Miami. Miami is a hard place to find an apartment because the prices, interiors, exteriors, amenities, and discounts vary widely from building to building. The entire process is extremely frustrating and daunting. The 3 most important things you need in a quality real estate agent are: 1. Knowledge: - When you're coming to a new place and you know absolutely nothing about the various communities it's invaluable to have an agent who knows the area like the back of his hand. - Eric's knowledge of the market and of virtually every individual city, town, and community in Miami is beyond helpful because it helps you quickly learn how Miami is actually set up and organized. Eric could honestly open up his own Tour Guide business, that's how knowledgeable he is of the Miami area and when you're looking for a place to live and grow you want to be near certain things that are important you. Grocery stores, restaurants, gyms, shops, etc. If you deal with an amateur realtor sure you might find a really nice place, but after a month or so you'll slowly start to realize that the location surrounding the place is awful. 2. Patience - I went on Yelp, I typed in Miami Realtor, and I sent a message to about 15 or so people. Eric's response wasn't just quick. He was the first to respond which immediately told me he was serious about his work. He was also very quick to respond every single day from that moment forward. That consistency is crucial as the process can take weeks and sometimes months to complete. From the moment I sent that first initial message to the moment I signed my lease, it only took about 3 sessions to find the perfect place. By "sessions" I mean meeting up with Eric and viewing apartments as a team in person. - Eric's process is very thorough. He starts by conducting a quick interview of you (via email, yelp, phone, etc). so he can get to know who you are and then from there he begins to pair you with places that fit your exact preferences. He uses an online platform that allows you to see locations that fit within the preferences/parameters that you give him and I can't stress the important of this process enough because a lot of the places he suggests can't be easily found online or they look completely different in real life from how they appear online. His platform / process will unveil a treasure trove of hidden gems that can't be easily found on Zillow or Trulia. - A session with Eric starts with him planning out the route/schedule beforehand. He ensures that you visit locations in a specific order so you're not running all around town moving back and forth and sitting in traffic all day. He calls ahead and sets up time slots with landlords and or building management well before you arrive so you walk right in and head directly to the units without having to wait in lobbies all day with other tenants. As you visit places he gives you insights into the surrounding area. When viewing units / building he ensures that no stone is left unturned and that no detail is missed. If the person showcasing the apartment forgets an important detail or mentions something that is out of the ordinary, Eric will catch it and ask the right follow up questions for clarification. 3. Diligence Finding the perfect place is only half the battle. You also have to find the perfect price. This is where Eric's competitive advantage as a realtor shines the brightest. Eric's superpower: HE'S A LICENSED ATTORNEY!!!! Let me tell you something, you have no idea how awesome it is to have an incredibly well educated attorney as your real estate agent until your negotiating your lease agreement with a landlord. Eric works hard to get you the absolute BEST deal possible and the most benefits/discounts/incentives/bang for you buck. Again, if you're reading this and you're currently looking for a realtor and or thinking about moving to the greater Miami-Dade area, look no further! Send Eric a message and get the ball rolling! read more

Eric was recommended to me by a very good friend over a year ago, as I've been considering selling my apartment. Although I'm still on the fence about selling the apartment, in the meantime, I decided to work with Eric to sell my mom's townhouse in Kendall, and I don't think I could have selected a better realtor. I haven't bought or sold a home in many years, and I had forgotten how complex and stressful these transactions can be, but Eric did everything possible to ensure a smooth process from start to finish. In addition to being very personable and knowledgeable, his honesty and high level of professionalism is pretty rare, particularly in this area. I'm definitely looking forward to working with Eric again when the time comes to sell my own place! read more

Eric was recommended to me by my employer. He was very responsive and professional with all of our communication and was able to help me find a unit fitting my specifications in a crazy housing market. He seems very knowledgeable read more

Eric was the listing agent of my property and his service has been exemplary. Due to me living out of state, it required a great deal of patience and knowledge of the law, which Eric Farmelant provided. He is definitely a true talent and I highly recommend him for all of your real estate dealings. read more

We found Eric on Yelp, and he assisted us to sell our income property. We 'closed' yesterday. I was careful to look at reviews to select a realtor to work with because of a past negative experience. From the moment we met, I realized that Eric was totally invested and made me feel that he really cared and that he was there to walk me through the process, to suggest what he believed was best for me, and by always allowing me to make the final decision. He was not 'pushy', he was always extremely detailed and responsive, and provided me with all the details that I needed to continue the process. Eric is a very knowledgeable realtor, patient, a real professional and showed real empathy with my particular situation. I hope to continue working with him in the near future and I'd recommend him to anyone needing a realtor! Eric, THANK YOU! I really appreciate what you did for us and I wish you the best and that you continue growing your business! read more

Eric is by far the best realtor we've ever worked with. We recently used him for a home purchase as well as a temporary rental. He's super responsive, friendly and flexible. His most outstanding qualities though are his knowledge and his honesty. He actually persuaded us not to purchase more expensive places (which obviously would have given him a larger commission) based on his knowledge of the area and market. He is the first realtor who we actually felt was looking out for our best interest. Would have zero qualms about working with him again in the future. If you're looking for a realtor, would 100% recommend Eric! read more

Our experience with Eric was great and we strongly recommend him to anyone needing a realtor in Miami. We were out of town buyers as well as first-time buyers, so we had one million questions. Eric kept answering all our questions very patiently and gave us great insights that made the whole process much easier. Not only Eric is very knowledgeable and hard working, but he is also incredibly honest, often steering us away from bad deals. We cannot stress enough how important this is, especially if you are an out of town buyer. Eric has been helping us well after closing as well as for all sorts of adjacent matters throughout the process (introducing lenders, handyman, etc.). He just makes everything so much simpler for his clients. We talked to a few realtors before choosing Eric and we are really glad that we eventually chose him. Things could have not gone any better. Eric has so many great reviews on Yelp and they are very well deserved. read more

Eric is a phenomenal agent. I had a very complicated close for multiple reasons but he was at all times a very supportive partner, knew exactly what to do, and gave me peace that the deal would close. I would recommend him in an instant!! read more

As a first-time renter moving to Miami from Wisconsin, I didn't know where to begin. I was searching for places on my own and was immediately overwhelmed. After searching for realtors on Yelp, I messaged a handful. Eric was the first to respond within minutes. His eagerness to get to know me and my needs was very reassuring. From those conversations, Eric found many options that fit my needs. With being long distance, Eric was very accommodating to helping me with my search while I was down here on vacation. I chose my top 6-7 picks, and he was able to get me in to see them all in one day. With my limited time, I truly appreciated his time efficiency. That day I found my place, and Eric was ready to get the ball rolling and help with paperwork. He was very patient with me throughout this stressful process and always available when I had questions or concerns. I am grateful for all of Eric's help in this journey and will recommend him to others. read more

Eric Farmelant was the best realtor we could have ever hoped to have in purchasing our first home. Eric has a wealth of knowledge and answered all of our questions. He also knows the market and knows how to interact with those on the other end of the deal. Eric has a mastery of the various neighborhoods in South Florida to ensure he helps you find exactly what you are looking for. He understood what we wanted and made it happen. Our accepted offer was even BELOW the asking price. Yes, in this market. I cannot thank him enough. Eric is also very personable and made the process of purchasing a home enjoyable. THANK YOU ERIC! read more

Eric is the most hardworking and caring realtor I've ever met in my life. He genuinely loves what he does, and wants nothing more than to make his clients happy. I found myself with the need for a last-minute and urgent move due to a sudden separation and was afraid that finding an apartment that I loved would be a nightmare. Eric worked tirelessly until we found the place that felt like home to me, and he then worked his magic to get me the best deal possible. I couldn't recommend any more highly than I do. Thanks, Eric!! read more

I highly recommend Eric for any and all of your real estate needs. He went above and beyond to sell my house. He was quick to respond, very professional, he was patient and always took the time to communicate everything. Thank you again for all your help. read more

Let me start by saying that working with Eric and Sophy was the best decision I have ever made. They made the entire process of selling my mom's condo effortless. I live in NY and I was unable to do anything related to getting the place ready for the sale of clearing out the condo. Eric and Sophy helped me out to hiring cleaning crews to deep clean the place. They then took on getting charities to come and pick up some of the furniture and other companies to clear out everything else. They staged the apartment so well that I actually had second thoughts about selling the place. If you want an amazing experience either buying a new place or selling your current place, don't waste time and call them. read more

I just worked with Eric to buy one of his listings and I am so impressed. Eric was accountable and hands on working with his seller in resolving obstacles to close. He treated me with as much kindness and respect as he treated his seller, helped to resolve open permit issues in record time, was quick to update information and was always accesible. When there was a disagreement between the seller and me, he looked for the info in order to recommend a fair solution or compromise. If I was right, he'd say "you're right" an if I was wrong, he'd say, "actually, here is the info that addresses that particular concern." I would give him my house to sell any time and recommend him 100%. read more

We trusted Eric to sell our home when we weren't fully sure we wanted to sell. With the conditions of the market, we figured it'd be crazy not to dip our toe in the water. It can be difficult to select a realtor when there's advertising everywhere and even the cashier at your local grocery store is a part time realtor interested in making a commission. But Eric is different. He's dedicated to his craft and will make you his top priority from start to finish, and beyond. Before we even listed, Eric walked us through the pros and cons and made sure we were at ease with what to expect. He put together a full report/presentation to select our listing price and we were off. Even though our asking price was record-breaking for our area, after one week and one open house Eric had obtained multiple competing bids, and in the week to follow another had come in. Ultimately, he sold our house for full asking price, including justifying the sale price to the appraiser. At the same time he was prepping for our closing, Eric had also found time to meet all of our continuing needs in a rental. I can't wait to hire Eric again when we start searching for our next purchase. If you have any need in real estate, you can trust Eric to be your dedicated professional. read more

We worked with Eric for about a year to find a home in a crazy market. Eric guided us through the process of seeing multiple properties and submitting offers. Needless to say the process was difficult, with many unforeseen issues coming up. However, Eric was always available to guide us and answer any questions we had, he is very knowledgeable. We finally found a home and Eric also helped us connect with a trustworthy closing agent and a mortgage broker. Will definitely use Eric when buying/selling property in the future. read more

Eric helped us find the perfect apartment for us. We knew it was the one from the moment we walked in. He was extremely easy to work with and responded quickly to messages. We were in a rush to get out of our previous place and he made that happen. We are truly grateful for his help and will definitely recommend him to others. read more

Eric is absolutely amazing! We were first time home buyers looking to move to Miami from Texas, and Eric was with us every step of the way. He was so responsive to our emails/texts and so patient with all of our questions. He was willing and able to work with our schedules when we were visiting Miami, and helped us find the perfect home in less than a week! Even in this crazy market, we found our perfect home because of Eric. He had a connection and knew of a home that was about to go on the market and arranged to show us the house while we were visiting Miami. The house was absolutely perfect for us, and he helped us make a strong offer and get the house before it even went on the market! We were able to avoid a crazy bidding war and the disappointment of having offers rejected thanks to Eric's connections and expertise. There is absolutely no way we would have found our perfect home without him! We highly recommend Eric to anyone looking to buy or sell! read more
