stories from my deals!
One of my first deals was a lease of a 2-bedroom condo in 500 Brickell Condo, Miami, for two students. In 2018, I received a lead from my broker to find a property, as fast as possible, for two young students who were finishing university and about to start their professional lifes. One musician and one engineer. Both were preparing for graduation, an important milestone, and decided that sharing a home would be the best way to start this new phase. They were from different states and barely knew each other. Very common in the US. After showing a few apartments, we closed on a 2-bedroom unit in the heart of Brickell. It seemed like any other deal at first. The best part came on graduation day. Both families flew to Miami and, before the ceremony, visited their sons' new apartment. The families hadn’t met before. We opened a bottle of champagne and celebrated the students' achievements and new beginnings. I saw firsthand how proud the parents were and how happy they were that their kids had found a nice place to live and start their careers. It was very emotional moment, in particular for a very emotional person as me! As a father, this deal was very emotional and one of the reasons I decided to become an agent rather than just a leader or manager. A few years later, while living in Lisbon, one of these students called me, while on vacation in Europe, and we had a very nice lunch together. The stories and connections I get with my clients are one, if not the best part of what I do. #rgrealestate #dealsthatIwillneverforget
