You will not find a realtor better than Karina in Miami!! My boyfriend and I moved to Miami from LA, but needed to find a place before we arrived in Miami. We contacted multiple realtors but Karina easily stood out as the best option. She was the most responsive, detail-oriented, and supportive. She got all the information she needed to figure out what we were looking for, helped us understand the lay of the land, and thoroughly explained to us our options. She even talked us down from the higher rent we were targeting (we were so used to high LA prices). The best was that she also went to go see the properties we were interested in and FaceTimed us so we could see from LA. She helped us land our dream home and we couldn't be happier! Not only is Karina an absolute professional, she has even become our friend. She has helped us acclimate to our new city and has reached out to us on multiple occasions to various fun socials. We love Karina and would recommend her to anybody!! read more

When I accepted my new job here in Miami...I had no idea on how to go about getting an apartment. I was actually given a different realtor's information and when I contacted her... She was horrible. She basically acted like my range for the apartment was too low and that she wanted nothing to do with me as apparently I was too cheap for her and not worth her time... So you can imagine my pleasure when I contacted Karina and she was overly helpful and made me feel like I was her one and only client. Service matters. She sent me a list of apartments the very same day and I could start looking through them and narrowing them down. But I had no idea how fast the housing markets changes here... By the time I decided on a couple of the apartments... They were gone already... Even though I only had the list 3 days...I was like WTH?? But Karina didn't skip a beat... She sent me a new list ASAP. From there she took over. I lived in Vegas and she was in Miami and she knew that I had no way to come to see these apartments. So after I made my choices... She actually went to the apartments for me and Skyped me so that I could see the apartments without me actually being there. She was freaking awesome!!! She helped me find my home here in Miami. From step one to the end she was right there with me. She met me at the apartment after a long long drive from Vegas and she stayed with me through the walk through to the signing of the lease to finishing up the paperwork. She was great! I am looking forward to dealing with her again in the future. And if you are looking for a realtor here in Miami for a local move or if you are out of state and looking to move here... Karina is one for you! read more

I have been fortunate enough to have Karina's help two consecutive years. Before moving to Miami last year, I struggled online searching for information on the best places to live and finding available units. After coming into contact with Karina it was less than 24 hours later she helped me find a wonderful unit in the heart of Brickell. The unit was spectacular and met all of my needs and wants. Fast forward one year, I wanted to move to South Beach. As usual, Karina calls and we speak over the phone discussing all the details beyond my expectations for a busy realtor in Miami. Despite the 2020 pandemic, Karina was able to make apartment searching seem like just any normal year and I was once again extremely satisfied. She knows all the little details regarding every building or location and will provide all the objective and subjective data you need for make the best decision possible. If you want straight forward information, honest and true opinions, a caring personality, efficiency, attentiveness, and someone that is always available going above and beyond to help you find whatever it is your looking for, look no further because Karina Brunenieks is the best in the business. read more

This is my first time using a realtor as I was moving from IN down to Miami, FL. I am so glad I chose to work with Karina to help me with the transition process. She alleviated a lot of the stress of finding a good place to stay in Miami, given my budget range. Karina was very professional, punctual in responding to my messages, and extremely patient with me as I had a lot of questions and concerns. I just moved into my new apartment and absolutely love it. This process altogether took less than a month, and was done remotely too. She is very knowable in her field and I don't think I could've gotten this apartment in such a smooth and short process without her help. I highly recommend working with Karina for anyone moving to Miami, or even anyone in Miami that is looking to move around. She is excellent at what she does! read more

I came across Real Estate Miami Life when searching for realtors on yelp. Karina responded within the hour (on a Saturday evening) and by the following day we were discussing all my needs, interests, and specifications that I looked for in an apartment while remaining within my budget. Karina followed up within the hour emailing a bunch of listings and in less than 24 hours, we were looking at places. Karina is informative, organized, and attentive. I recommend her if you are in need of a good realtor in South Florida. Will stay in touch and thanks again! read more

Karina and Carlos were absolutely incredible when it came to finding a place to rent in Miami! If you're looking to move to Brickell or Downtown, call Karina. She has a wealth of knowledge of not only the area but also the intricacies of each building, is extremely responsive, and truly passionate about her work. Even though I was only looking to rent, she devoted a significant amount of time and energy into helping me find a furnished rental within my budget, and I'm so appreciative for how much work she put into finding the right place for me. I was previously working with a different agent from a different company who wound up ghosting me and would not respond to my emails. I had less than 3 weeks to move from Pennsylvania to Miami, and I was planning on visiting in a couple days to tour some units. I saw a ton of positive reviews for Karina online, so I reached out to her on a Friday evening. She called me back within the hour and was very interested in what I was looking for and finding the right property for me. Later that evening I received an email from her listing properties that matched my preferences. She took the time to go over all the properties with me in detail and discuss the pros/cons to each building. I was scheduled to fly in on a Sunday afternoon, and I had less than 24 hours to tour different rental options. Karina managed to schedule multiple showings on both a Sunday evening and Monday morning to ensure that I could see enough places with the limited time I had. Even though I had found her on such short notice, monopolized on her time on a Sunday evening, and had her walk me around Brickell during a downpour, she never once complained or seemed upset, and she remained enthusiastic and excited to show me the different units. We found an awesome furnished unit, placed an offer, and the offer was quickly accepted. Karina was involved in the remainder of the process and worked diligently to ensure that all the paperwork was completed so I could move in as quickly as possible. I realize there are a lot of agents who avoid rentals as they aren't as profitable as sales, but given the amount of energy Karina put into finding me a rental, she would be the only person I would go to if I was looking to buy or sell in this area. While there are numerous real estate agents in the area, I highly doubt any could match Karina's dedication, knowledge of the area, responsiveness, or commitment to finding you the perfect place to live. read more

My husband and I found out we were moving to Miami Beach for a short term project and needed a furnished unit within a week! After looking at places online, Karina called me and quickly came up with several options. With us being out of town, Karina went to the building we wanted to live and video messaged the available units (and gave her honest opinions on each place). She walked us through each step of the process and followed up each day until we were in our new place. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional but she is also a kind person. My husband and I move almost once a year so I have worked with countless agents and Karina has been the best agent by far! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Karina to find a very nice place in Brickell at a great price. I was referred to her by a co-worker and, after hearing how great Karina was from someone else, I immediately contacted her and she got to working right away. I had never lived in Miami before and Karina started off by explaining the different areas/price ranges to expect for each areas right away. Within a few days after contacting her and giving my preferred location, price range, and the fact that I would love to do everything remotely if possible (saving myself $500+ of traveling cost to come visit), Karina found me a great place. She took the time and effort to plan out when I would be free so that we can FaceTime so I can get as close of an apartment walk-through as possible without actually being there. She then helped me through every step of the way with the paperwork, answering questions every step of the way and making sure that I would have the best chances of getting the apartment over other offers. Even after all the paperwork was finished, Karina helped me with just other general apartment stuff and answered my questions almost immediately. I would definitely recommend Karina to other people who are looking for places in the area as Karina treat you as not just a client but a friend! read more

Karina was absolutely amazing! First off, she is VERY knowledgeable about the various offerings in the Brickell/Downtown area. It makes a huge difference when your salesperson knows the local market very well and also knows exactly what you envision for your living situation. Also, my wife wasn't in Miami most of the time that we were in search of an apartment. Nevertheless, Karina was very patient and very accommodating in helping us find the residence that met our needs. We've found it, and it's been a great success! Thank you again, Karina!! read more

As four young professionals with tight schedules and narrow requirements for our home, we knew that it would be difficult to find a new place without help. Luckily we had Karina to guide us throughout the entire process and she found us a home that we all love. She was kind, considerate, responsive, professional, and hardworking throughout our experience with her and we have already recommended her to other friends. Thanks Karina! read more

In a market saturated with real estate agents, it can be really hard figuring out who to turn to for help. Luckily, Karina stands out from the rest. She was super responsive, very friendly and personable. I didn't have the biggest budget, but she worked hard to find me places that fit all of my criteria. She even did research on buildings I heard about that don't work with realtors to make sure I had all the information I needed to make the right choice. If I move again, she will definitely be my go-to! read more

Karina is a diamond in the rough among realtors in Miami. She is friendly, a great communicator, patient, and is strategical in the real estate business. She was very accommodating to my ever-changing schedule and extremely responsive whenever I had questions. She communicates directly so that I never felt like I didn't know what was going on. She also had great advice when I was choosing units. I will definitely recommend her the next time I or a friend needs a realtor. read more

I have moved about 11 times in my life, and this has been the smoothest moving process I have been through. After having a couple negative experiences with other realtors in Miami, I finally ran into Karina - virtually speaking. In three days, we accomplished what I was not able to do in three months. Karina was instantly familiarized with what I was looking for, and found a place that was a perfect fit. She walked me through all the stages of the process, and made herself available when I needed her advice. Getting to know the different areas of Miami with Karina was extremely rewarding, as she has a wonderful personality; not to mention her extensive knowledge of the city. In a city where there are countless numbers of real estate companies and agents, Karina stands out with her strong work ethic and professionalism. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a realtor, as well as a guide. read more

I couldn't be any happier with Karina in her help to find the right place for me. I tried to find places on my own and then selected Karina based on all the positive comments I found on line. They were all right She was very interested in what I was looking for and she found the right properties. She spent 8 hours with me one day touring properties that were consistent with what I was looking for. She listens. She researched. She's friendly. Was prepared and ensured that the owners/agents were available on the schedule they established. After our tour day She followed up with listing agents and with me to ensure we quickly arrived at decisions I highly recommend Karina and I will seek her service on any future real estate need read more

Karina was amazing! From the moment I contacted her I began receiving great service. She always responded to me within hours of any request I had and she sought out multiple apartments to match my exact needs. Karina made me feel like a high profile client and didn't stop until she found us the perfect place. I am very happy with Karina's work and if I ever need real estate help in the future she will be the only person I work with. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Karina did an excellent job. She gave thorough advice, assisted with each and every data related question we had, and was always ready to help. She was fast to respond which is always so important when finding a realtor. Really great experience all around - thank you! read more

I came to Miami from a different state and didn't have the time to personally see apartments before I had to move down for work. I was a bit nervous about finding a place without seeing it first. I contacted Real Estate Miami Life and Karina responded right away. I spoke with her on the phone an hour later and I could immediately tell she was incredibly knowledgeable about living and renting in Miami, especially in the Downtown and Brickell areas. She was also very friendly and kind and went out of her way to make my experience as smooth as possible. She sent me many great listings and personally went around and FaceTimed me at each place so that I could "see" the apartments while she offered her commentary. She was extremely responsive, flexible, and always reachable at any time of day--and even when she was on vacation! I couldn't be happier with the place I ended up with, and it was really thanks to Karina. From the first day I called to the day I moved in, she was consistently on top of everything and a pleasure to work with. If you're looking for a dedicated, enthusiastic, and effective realtor, Karina is the one to choose. I couldn't recommend her more. read more

Karina deserves 100 stars! I am forever grateful to have found Karina and can not recommend her enough! I will be using her for the rest of my life. She is an extremely knowledgeable, personal and incredible realtor. My first call with her lasted over an hour and she immediately helped me narrow down my search and asked the important, but often forgotten questions. Karina has literally been in every Brickell building and her knowledge is impressive to say the least. Since she's worked in the area for so long (and lives there), she knows all the ins and outs of each building, including upcoming nearby construction, building issues and upcoming unit availability. She made my hunt super easy and helped find me the best place ever. You can get ahold of her any time- she is very time efficient and responded to my emails and texts almost immediately. I'm ecstatic she was able to help find my dream home and cannot thank her enough! read more

Karina was amazing. I had just moved back from New York City to Miami and loved the idea of living on Brickell Key. Only problem was, I have a dog and it seemed only owners could have a pet and not a renter. In comes Karina to save the day! She found a loophole and here I am living my best life on Brickell Key. USE HER! read more

Karina is an absolute professional who knows the Brickell area well and is extremely accommodating. She was on time, well prepared, and responsive to our requests. She provided us with everything that we needed to make our decision and get moved in and we recommend her services unequivocally. We are now in a great apartment and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an apartment in the area. read more

As a newcomer to South Florida, I was in need of a local and highly knowledgeable real estate agent to help me with an apartment rental. I met Karina within a local business community and she immediately struck me with her professionalism. As an agent, Karina brings the best qualities to her clients: patience, commitment, thoughtfulness, and most importantly her expertise of how the local real estate market works especially when it comes to working with individual buildings' associations. She showed a great amount of resilience and competence when working with these associations that I haven't seen in other agents. I was able to ask her questions at any given time, and not only she always provided me with prompt answers but also offered alternatives. When we were visiting various apartments, she proved to be very detail-oriented. She pointed out certain strengths and weaknesses of each unit that I wouldn't even notice or think of. She made me feel as helping me was her highest priority. Her understanding, sense of humor, and diplomacy made the whole process less stressful and more comfortable. I would be very happy to give Karina my highest recommendation for anyone looking to rent or buy a property in South Florida. read more

With great pleasure I write this review on behalf of Karina Brunenieks. Minutes after reaching out and requesting her help to find my future apartment, I felt at ease trusting she was going to do everything to get me the perfect place. Knowing my request was very specific, not only on location but amenities, her positive demeanor and attention to details helped the process run smoothly. Within a few days I found the perfect apartment, but the quest was not over! After making the decision, many other things came tumbling down, but Karina was right there to take charge. She was able to manage every difficult situation that came our way, from the apartment being sold and having to deal with different brokers, to an un-responsive condo-association office. At the end, she had everything ready by my moving day! I was very lucky to find her and appreciate her positive outlook, even during the toughest times, her ability to always offer a helping hand and most of all, her professionalism. read more

I made a rushed trip to Miami in hopes of finding a property on short notice. After calling five realtors I found off the web, Karina was the first one to respond and the first to actually follow up with a list of properties. Apart from being professional, I was most impressed at how well she listened to my needs. Unlike some other realtors I have had experience with in the past, Karina took the time to vet through available properties to send me only the ones relevant to me, which saved me a lot of time. Overall, Karina was a true pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her if you want someone who will be actively searching to find exactly what you want. Thank you for all your help, Karina! I wish you the best! read more

Karina is punctual and listens attentively to her client needs. She helped us find the most suitable place to rent we could have found in the market at the time and gave us all the information we needed to make a confident decision. I highly recommend her services and impeccable professionalism. read more

I've dealt with my fare share of lazy and unreliable real estate agents in Miami who only look to make quick profit with minimal effort. Karina is one of a kind and truly holds her client's interests as a priority. She's worked relentlessly on finding the right place for us: always went the extra step and did her own research about the places in addition to what was advertised, worked very hard on scheduling multiple appointments at the times convenient for us, while dealing with sometimes unresponsive or unreliable agents, was always available to us and easy to reach, and very prompt in responding to any requests/questions. What I like the most about her, though, is her honesty. She was not there to make a quick buck, she really wanted to find a place for us where we would be happy. Sometimes she would point out the negatives of the place that we did not see ourselves to make sure that we did not have surprises after we rented it. She was truly an advisor to us throughout the process and we always knew that we could trust her. We are thinking of buying a home next and we will turn to nobody else but Karina to help us find one. read more

Karina is amazing! I reached out to her needing to find an apartment less than two weeks in advance, and while I was out of town. Karina moved quickly to identify the best options for me and was very accommodating of my intensive work and travel schedule. For example, we used FaceTime to view apartments, and when I was in Miami, Karina made the time to meet me outside of her office and normal business hours so we could finish paperwork at the irregular times I was available. Meanwhile, she was an excellent, assertive communicator with potential property managers and building associations such that she was able to move the process as quickly as possible and to effectively negotiate on my behalf as well, significantly reducing the amount of time it took for me to secure an apartment and enhancing the terms of my lease. Given my constraints and the very small timeframe I had, I can confidently say Karina rescued me from being without an apartment. Not only that, but she helped me find the perfect apartment for my needs. I couldn't be happier with it, and I'm so glad a colleague of mine recommended her. read more
