As a resident of Miami-Dade County, I've come to appreciate the stunning downtown skyline, picturesque beaches, and luxurious condominiums that embellish our vibrant urban landscape.

In areas like Dadeland, where I specialize, towering condo complexes such as Metropolitan, The Colonnade, and Toscano dominate the skyline. Yet, amidst the allure of modern architectural wonders, there's a crucial aspect often overlooked – the safety and longevity of condominium structures. Increasingly, I've recognized the importance of Miami-Dade's building recertification program, designed to uphold the highest standards of structural integrity, resilience, and environmental sustainability for condos. It's a vital consideration I prioritize when working with both condo sellers and buyers.

Prioritizing Safety and Compliance

Safety is paramount. That's why I find reassurance in knowing that Miami-Dade's building recertification initiative prioritizes the safety of residents. Through periodic inspections and recertification requirements, the county ensures that Miami condominium buildings undergo thorough assessments of structural integrity, electrical systems, fire safety measures, and more. It's a proactive approach that gives peace of mind, especially considering the region's susceptibility to hurricanes and other natural disasters.

Mitigating Risks and Ensuring Resilience

Beyond mere compliance with building codes, Miami-Dade's building recertification process aims to mitigate risks and enhance the resilience of condominiums. By identifying vulnerabilities and implementing necessary repairs or upgrades, the program helps fortify  condos against the impacts of extreme weather events and environmental factors. As someone who calls Miami home, I appreciate this proactive stance in safeguarding both lives and property, particularly in the face of climate change.

Promoting Sustainability and Energy Efficiency

As a proponent of environmental conservation, I applaud Miami-Dade's emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency in the building recertification process. By encouraging practices such as energy-efficient lighting, water-saving fixtures, and renewable energy technologies, the county is paving the way for more environmentally responsible communities. It's a step in the right direction toward reducing our carbon footprint and creating a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come.

Challenges and Opportunities for Developers

I  understand that the building recertification process poses challenges for developers, including costs and logistical complexities. However, I believe it also presents opportunities for innovation and differentiation. Developers who prioritize safety, sustainability, and quality craftsmanship can set themselves apart in a competitive market, attracting buyers who value long-term value and peace of mind.

Empowering Residents Through Transparency

Transparency is key in building trust and fostering a sense of community among residents. I appreciate transparent communication from building management regarding recertification efforts, as it enables me to stay informed and actively participate in ensuring the safety and well-being of my community. By being involved in inspection results, repair plans, and maintenance initiatives, I feel empowered to contribute to a culture of accountability and collective responsibility.

As a resident of Miami-Dade County, I'm grateful for the proactive approach that our local government is taking to safeguard the integrity and resilience of  condominium buildings. Through the building recertification program, we're not just ensuring compliance with regulations – we're investing in the safety, sustainability, and well-being of our communities. It's a collective effort that underscores our commitment to creating a safer, more resilient, and environmentally conscious urban landscape for all residents to enjoy.

~ Willy and Gloria P.

Liz was the listing agent for a Miami property I called on and made an appointment to see . That's how it all started.I wasn't working with any agent and I told Liz I didn't want to commit to anyone. She stated she understood, nevertheless, she was relentless in keeping in touch with me. Finally, in one of her phone calls, Liz asked me if she was working hard to get my business ? I said yes, of course. Then she stated, "Imagine, what I am capable of doing in finding and negotiating for you in a tough and competitive Miami market?". That clinched it !

~ Alex Y.

As a business man, one of the things that impressed me about Liz is is her negotiation skills, patience and cool under pressure. She looks for a win-win even though at times we were just being one sided. Liz reminded us it's a sellers' market with properties selling quickly at or little above asking price in the area we wanted to buy.Whatever we weren't familiar with, Liz simplified it so we felt comfortable and understood the transaction.

 

~ Vincent S.

"...One of her best qualities is her ability to stand back, listen to your needs, present you all the alternatives and let you make the original decisions. She is not assertive with her opinion but when she says you better listen because it will be in your own best interest..."

Ms Liz Keneally was a angel sent. I was going through personal hardship. And having a hard time not only selling The property but with the result of impending foreclosure. Which at the time was a very difficult time in my life. And she came along. And got a contract within a week. And I have nothing but gratitude towards her and her team. That treated me and my children like family.

We have been extremely happy with the work that Liz has done for us. We would highly recommend her for anyone who is seeking to sell or buy property.
