I had the pleasure of working with Maggie Shih over the past 8 months as I explored a life…read moretransition and relocation from California to Florida. As a transplant herself, Maggie provided helpful insights into the contrasts between cultures. She was invaluable at bringing to life the different neighborhoods and helping me visualize which would be the best fit for me based on my lifestyle. Think about proximity to activities, schools, sports, coffee shops, etc. And I should mention, a lot of this was done virtually for months in advance of setting foot in Florida.
I visited Miami a few times and found Maggie a great and reliable tour guide. We visited numerous buildings I'd identified online and others that she thought might be a fit as well. Ultimately, I zeroed in on a condo, we toured several units, none was quite right. While I was back in California, Maggie face-timed me as she walked through a unit that was unavailable during my visit. Based on the walkthrough and consultation with her, I ultimately made an offer culminating in a purchase of that unit.
Today, I have a perfect unit for me - high floor, amazing views, 1 BR, 1 1/2 BA, W/D in unit, modest HOA, 2 tennis courts, large swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, indoor parking, secure building in a great Edgewater location, high walkability and bike-ability scores, convenient to everywhere. Was an 8-month process with Maggie from start to finish (due to seller delays in closing), but it all worked out!
I would highly recommend Maggie. Very chill. No pressure. Super friendly and positive vibe. Very knowledgeable, really wanted to make sure that I was happy with process and outcome. Thank you so much, Maggie!
