Surfside extends from 87th Terrace to 96th Street between Miami Beach and Bal Harbour. Its residential streets, Harding Avenue town center, beach path, houses of worship, and oceanfront buildings create a notably walkable environment for South Florida.
The condominium inventory ranges from established boutique buildings to globally recognized newer residences. Buyers need building-specific structural, reserve, insurance, and management analysis, while home buyers should evaluate lot position, zoning, traffic, and renovation feasibility within the town's compact grid.

Search active listings, then contact John for property-level context, private-showing coordination, and a focused comparison of the strongest options.
Review the property itself, title and survey matters, insurance, disclosures, permits, and the rules and financial condition of every applicable association. The correct diligence plan should be tailored to the residence and the buyer's intended use.
How do I compare current listings accurately?
Start beyond asking price. Compare location within the community or building, exposure, condition, renovation quality, carrying costs, restrictions, and likely capital needs. Recent closed sales then need adjustment for those property-specific differences.
Can John represent international and relocating buyers?
Yes. John works in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French and can coordinate the real estate process with the buyer's attorneys, tax advisors, lenders, inspectors, and other specialists.
