If you're reading this and you're currently looking for a realtor and or thinking about moving to the greater Miami-Dade area, look no further! Eric is simply the best there is. I moved from Washington DC to Miami. Miami is a hard place to find an apartment because the prices, interiors, exteriors, amenities, and discounts vary widely from building to building. The entire process is extremely frustrating and daunting. The 3 most important things you need in a quality real estate agent are: 1. Knowledge: - When you're coming to a new place and you know absolutely nothing about the various communities it's invaluable to have an agent who knows the area like the back of his hand. - Eric's knowledge of the market and of virtually every individual city, town, and community in Miami is beyond helpful because it helps you quickly learn how Miami is actually set up and organized. Eric could honestly open up his own Tour Guide business, that's how knowledgeable he is of the Miami area and when you're looking for a place to live and grow you want to be near certain things that are important you. Grocery stores, restaurants, gyms, shops, etc. If you deal with an amateur realtor sure you might find a really nice place, but after a month or so you'll slowly start to realize that the location surrounding the place is awful. 2. Patience - I went on Yelp, I typed in Miami Realtor, and I sent a message to about 15 or so people. Eric's response wasn't just quick. He was the first to respond which immediately told me he was serious about his work. He was also very quick to respond every single day from that moment forward. That consistency is crucial as the process can take weeks and sometimes months to complete. From the moment I sent that first initial message to the moment I signed my lease, it only took about 3 sessions to find the perfect place. By "sessions" I mean meeting up with Eric and viewing apartments as a team in person. - Eric's process is very thorough. He starts by conducting a quick interview of you (via email, yelp, phone, etc). so he can get to know who you are and then from there he begins to pair you with places that fit your exact preferences. He uses an online platform that allows you to see locations that fit within the preferences/parameters that you give him and I can't stress the important of this process enough because a lot of the places he suggests can't be easily found online or they look completely different in real life from how they appear online. His platform / process will unveil a treasure trove of hidden gems that can't be easily found on Zillow or Trulia. - A session with Eric starts with him planning out the route/schedule beforehand. He ensures that you visit locations in a specific order so you're not running all around town moving back and forth and sitting in traffic all day. He calls ahead and sets up time slots with landlords and or building management well before you arrive so you walk right in and head directly to the units without having to wait in lobbies all day with other tenants. As you visit places he gives you insights into the surrounding area. When viewing units / building he ensures that no stone is left unturned and that no detail is missed. If the person showcasing the apartment forgets an important detail or mentions something that is out of the ordinary, Eric will catch it and ask the right follow up questions for clarification. 3. Diligence Finding the perfect place is only half the battle. You also have to find the perfect price. This is where Eric's competitive advantage as a realtor shines the brightest. Eric's superpower: HE'S A LICENSED ATTORNEY!!!! Let me tell you something, you have no idea how awesome it is to have an incredibly well educated attorney as your real estate agent until your negotiating your lease agreement with a landlord. Eric works hard to get you the absolute BEST deal possible and the most benefits/discounts/incentives/bang for you buck. Again, if you're currently looking for a realtor, look no further! Send Eric a message!

We engaged Eric to sell our condo and purchase our forever home. In just four months, both tasks were accomplished and we are extremely happy. When we first met with Eric he gave us suggestions for low cost improvements we could do to distinguish our condo from the 3 similar ones on the market in our building. After we made the changes, Eric brought in a professional photographer to showcase our apartment and make the listing pop. Eric handled all the showings personally and if we hadn't had time to prep for a showing, he would arrive early to make sure the apartment was presentable, even folding our laundry for us! We were under contract within 2 weeks at almost full asking price (in a very soft condo market), while the other 3 units for sale are all still unsold. Our family benefited immensely from Eric’s suggestion that we negotiate a "leaseback," so we could remain in our apartment after closing while we searched for our home to purchase. This avoided the inconvenience of securing expensive temporary housing or moving in with family. We secured the leaseback at a below market rent and were able to transition with no life disruption. Even before we sold our house, Eric was already helping us look for our purchase. We were uncertain of the area we wanted to settle, but Eric spent time taking us to many different areas so we could get a feel for them. He has vast knowledge of the market and always tells you the pros and the cons of everything. Eric never pressured us to make a decision or to rush. To the contrary, if a house didn't line up with our wants and needs but we wanted to move forward just to get something done; rather than try and secure a quick sale and get his commission, Eric urged us to keep looking and remember our goals. We went out every weekend until we found a house our family loved. At our price point the market was very competitive, but Eric deployed a unique strategy to secure our home. We bought it well below the asking price, and at Eric's suggestion, negotiated a credit from the seller to help us cover our closing costs and save money for furniture! We also got the seller to install hurricane impact windows. As first time homebuyers we had a lot of questions and Eric responded to us within minutes at all times with informative and patient answers. Eric treated us as if we were his only clients and we are so pleased with the attention and service he provided. Charles and Nelmay Silva

Eric Farmelant has been a blessing to us. Our firm works with over 40 professional athletes that move upwards of three times a year. That being said, I am the worst kind of client. I was in need of a fully furnished, short term rental, in a high-end luxury apartment, available immediately in a nice part of town that wasn't too expensive... That combination is close to impossible to find, but also a huge waste of time for the return on investment. Eric, however, was nothing but accommodating and extremely easy to work with. I had made about 25 calls that day when I finally I came up on Eric's post on Zillow. Most everyone prior to him had turned me away when they found out what I was looking for. My first conversation with Eric was refreshing. He was not only able to point me in the right direction as far as the areas we were told to look into, but he also had a list of AMAZING options sent to me within the hour. My client and I were able to narrow down our top 5 favorites and then Eric worked his magic. He was able to negotiate everything we had asked for and then some. And this was just the beginning. Entering the lease of a privately owned unit in a large corporate building has its hiccups, but Eric made the process seamless. It was obvious that he had relationships all over the city because my client was able to move in a week after my original phone call. Needless to say OUR client is now sitting pretty in his fully furnished, short term rental in the beautiful Brickell area, with panoramic ocean views for far less than he was expecting to pay. I owe a lot Eric and his local knowledge of the Miami area. I am also proud to say that we still keep in touch weekly, as I have sent him other clients. He saw this opportunity as a way to build relationships and not only took care of us but kept us a priority despite all of our needs and requests. He continues to help with any questions I may have regarding rentals, travel arrangements, dining, entertainment, etc. He is very well connected and wonderful at his job. I feel very grateful to have stumbled upon his Zillow posting and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to rent, buy, or sell in the South Florida area.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with an outstanding real estate agent, Eric, who exceeded all expectations in listing and selling my condo in Miami. Despite being based in New York, I felt completely at ease throughout the entire process, thanks to Eric's exceptional level of attentiveness and thoroughness. From the moment we began working together, it was evident that Eric was dedicated to providing a seamless and successful experience. One of the many aspects that impressed me about Eric was his meticulous attention to detail. He took the time to thoroughly understand my needs and preferences, ensuring that every aspect of the listing and sale process was tailored to my specific requirements. His expertise was evident in his ability to stage the condo impeccably, creating an inviting atmosphere that truly highlighted its unique features. It was clear that Eric had a deep understanding of the market and knew precisely how to showcase the property's potential to potential buyers. Throughout the entire journey, I never doubted that Eric had my best interests at heart. His commitment to my satisfaction was unwavering, and he consistently went above and beyond to ensure that all negotiations and transactions were in my favor. From the initial listing to the final closing, Eric navigated the intricacies of the real estate world with grace and professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend Eric as an exceptional real estate agent to anyone in need of a dedicated, thorough, and knowledgeable professional. Working with Eric was an absolute pleasure, and I am confident that his expertise will continue to benefit anyone fortunate enough to collaborate with him. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to work with Eric again in the future, knowing that I will be in the hands of a true real estate expert who always puts the client first.

Eric is the best. I came out of nowhere when looking to buy a new home and Eric's name popped up in google so I called this amazing guy to help us to find a condo as we want to move to Miami from other state. It came out that Eric is absolutely amazing and great. He is very patient and experience who guide us every step of the way and always answer our questions. With his great network and connection, he was able to find us a great place to live even in such a competitive/crazy market. If you only tell him 3 things of your expectations, he will be for sure find you a great home that fit your 10 other preference or more. He is very smart and knowledgeable about different buildings and areas; he will inform you if some buildings or places are not good or things to keep in mind before you make any decision. He tries to find a home for you as it was for himself so he will tell you if the place is worth to buy or overpriced. He will try his best to negotiate for the best deal. Working with him, we have no pressure and feel very confident that he will find us a great place with best deal. Even though we have an issue with lender, he also tries his best to help so we won't lose our dream house. If you have legal questions, in need of a great lender/handyman/attorney, call Eric as he's a lawyer, has great connections and able to refer you to the best people. If you're looking for the best realtor in the world, call Eric, no need to look any further. He will be my realtor for my next house for sure.

Stop right here! No need to look any further. In Eric Farmelant you have found the best realtor in Miami! He helped me through the biggest move of my life and was able to find me the perfect place. He helped me envision how my lifestyle would change from my house in Michigan to a high rise condo in Miami. He pointed out features about the different properties we looked at and had helpful tips and facts about living in Florida to help me with the transition. I always felt that Eric was watching my back, not just as a client but as a person going through a daunting life change. He had my best interests at heart and never lost sight of what was important to me. He even helped me narrow down my decision because I was right on the fence wavering between two great choices. I couldn't have gone wrong with either one, but in the end Eric helped me choose the one that was the "more" perfect one for me. Professional, attentive, a great listener, familiar with the market and... a lawyer to boot! Eric was right there to answer the legal questions I had along the way. Call Eric and get started. You'll thank yourself. You will love working with him and the proof will be in the results. I am sure of that. I am very excited to call Miami my new home and really can't thank Eric enough for helping make it a seamless transition.

We used Eric to sell our home, and could not be happier. At a time when the market is going crazy and as usual, most real estate agents are cutthroat for listings and buyers, Eric is a calming force. We were initially only kicking the tires on selling and basically dared Eric to get us a sale price we couldn't refuse. Eric thoroughly reviewed all appropriate comps in advance and made an initial presentation of where our house measured up to each, better or worse, and for what reasons and presented an asking price. At first, the sale price seemed like a bit of a stretch, as it would smash records for our community, but Eric made the case that it was reasonable based on our property, the upgrades we had done, and where the market was trending. Within two weeks, and with one open house, Eric had gotten us multiple competing offers, including two at full asking price. Eric continued to walk us through the rest of the process all the way to closing, making sure our interests were properly and fairly represented. We couldn't have made a better choice than to trust Eric with selling our home, and we look forward to buying with him when the time is right. Definitely fly with the ibis.

Was moving to Miami from California and was overwhelmed with all the options, navigating through scams, and trying to negotiate/communicate with realtors on my own. Found Eric through Yelp/Google and reached out to him. He responded to me very quickly even though it was relatively late for the Eastern Time Zone. Asked me what I was looking for and provided me with tons of options with my search parameters. Really went out of his way to go view units for me and send me videos since I was unable to fly out from the West Coast. Knows the market really well in terms of price, timing, shady business practices. Due to an unconventional request, there was a hang-up during negotiations with the original unit I wanted. Eric advised that I move to my next option and got me a lease agreement pretty much the same day. Eric has a legal background so it was super helpful to have him do all the negotiating, writing all the contracts, reading legal documents, and watching your back. He was communicative, patient, and thorough with me. Highly recommend him. He definitely deserves all the glowing reviews he gets.

Eric is absolutely amazing! We were first time home buyers looking to move to Miami from Texas, and Eric was with us every step of the way. He was so responsive to our emails/texts and so patient with all of our questions. He was willing and able to work with our schedules when we were visiting Miami, and helped us find the perfect home in less than a week! Even in this crazy market, we found our perfect home because of Eric. He had a connection and knew of a home that was about to go on the market and arranged to show us the house while we were visiting Miami. The house was absolutely perfect for us, and he helped us make a strong offer and get the house before it even went on the market! We were able to avoid a crazy bidding war and the disappointment of having offers rejected thanks to Eric’s connections and expertise. There is absolutely no way we would have found our perfect home without him! We highly recommend Eric to anyone looking to buy or sell!

I think the best thing I can say about Eric is that he consistently puts your interests in front of his own. When we were searching for a home with him, he actively steered us away from situations he thought were not good value, even when they were offering outrageous commissions to him. This happened over and and over again. He is also extremely patient, and did not put any pressure on us to buy something, I believe he said even if this takes a couple of years, I’ll help you find your place. Lastly, just want to point out the home he eventually closed for us was at a price about 30% below market, and it is perfect for us. Don’t hesitate to work with Eric, we have bought and sold many houses when we’ve had to move, and Eric is the agent who to us best represented our specific needs without being greedy or impatient. He honestly is more a real estate representative as opposed to a real estate agent.

Can't say enough about how helpful Eric is! Flew in and out to see as many properties as possible on the same day in a 4 hour window and Eric was able to show me a ton of properties and options. He really did an amazing job with the little time he had. You can tell right away by his interaction with the managers and property staff at the apartments we were looking at that he knows the properties and the Miami area better than anyone and is highly respected. He knew every property even better than the property managers themselves. You can see he has a true passion for both his clients and the city of Miami. Couldn't be happier with his service and the help he provided me to make a move to Miami. He has an expansive knowledge of rentals in Miami, which is hard to find a realtor that does. Happy to call him my realtor and a new friend. Great guy and even better agent

There aren't too many deals in this world, but getting a licensed Florida Attorney to act as my agent in a real estate transaction at no out-of-pocket expense to me, surely counts. Eric was thoughtful, knowledgeable and a great negotiator. I found the place I liked at a price that I didn't like. Two days later Eric called to tell me he negotiated the price down to where I needed it to be with a move-in date that fit my requirements. I'm not sure the seller liked him but he did fine by me! I recommend him completely. Why go to a realtor with no experience and no traceable background when you use someone with his credentials and education. After all hiring a realtor with nothing more than a high school background isn't any cheaper. Why not get someone who spent years arguing in court to argue for you- at no out-of-pocket expense. Thanks Eric

Eric Farmelant, Ibis Realty Group, is by far the most professional, accommodating, and sophisticated realtor with whom I've had the pleasure of working....and I've worked with many realtors from NYC to DC to Baltimore to San Francisco to Chicago to Miami. Not only did Eric Farmelant respond promptly and thoroughly to each of my queries, he actually LISTENED to my requests and RESPONDED ACCORDINGLY. Eric saved me a great amount of time, money, and energy by providing insight into the Miami real estate market without me physically there. The place I found through him is exactly as described and pictured by him. Around the Miami metropolitan area, in particular, people have generally heard of Eric Farmelant when it comes to real estate. He's definitely on the up-and-coming list of top realtors in the city. Be sure to make this contact!

I worked with Eric on a number of transactions and can't praise his services enough. He is client oriented, a quick thinker, and solution driven. As a licensed JD, he also understands many of the legal ramifications involved in closings. Eric and I successfully worked closely together on several deals--two of which stand out to be as being very difficult due to unpredictable circumstances. Most recently, an issue arose at walk through that could have delayed or stopped the closing all together. Eric used his quick thinking to negotiate a favorable compromise between the parties that allowed us to close as planned. Finally, Eric is an honest person and places his clients first and doesn't charge unreasonable fees for his services. I highly recommend Eric and would gladly continue to work with him in the future.

I am not living in Miami and needed to sell my house quickly I contacted Eric and he immediately answered his phone. On the same day we started taking care of all of the paperwork for the house. The next day he came in and suggested some low cost repairs that can help increase the value of the property. He even found EXTREMELY affordable handyman that helped me do the repairs. The house was occupied by 2 tenants and I had issues removing one of the tenants. He helped me escort the difficult tenant out of the house. He ran errands to finalize outstanding permits that were required before the closing could occur. Within a month the house was sold for an excellent price. I'm extremely happy with the work Eric did and I would highly recommend him as highly experienced, efficient and well connected agent!

Eric is a life saver. Before I found Eric, I contacted ~12 real estate agents. Half of them never got back to me. The ones that did respond, sent me apartments that were in terrible shape and did not meet even half of my requirements. One real estate agent told me, "you wont find something in this short amount of time, you should've started earlier." Eric, on the other hand, sent me three great options within 2 days of our first conversation. Less than a week after, I was moving into an apartment that I LOVE. Eric is a gem. As someone who has moved 3 times in the last two years, my only regret is not finding Eric / Ibis Realty Group sooner. Professional, personable, and genuinely nice. I highly recommend him. And I absolutely will be calling him for any and all of my Miami real estate needs.

I've absolutely recommended Eric. High knowledge of the market, great advisor, very diligent, fast and careful. He had plenty of options on the database, so that made the first part easy. Then, I was able to find the apartment in one day, he showed me around very nicely! He negotiated the second day and I was signing the third. I think that this is a time record, but I was moving from NY for work and that was really helpful. Miami is a tough city for apartments. Lots of no professional realtors. In the same street, you get offers from people. Eric was always looking that all was good, he checked the apartment, ask questions & negotiate things that were not ok in the initial offer. He even checked on me a couple of weeks after. I've felt all the time that I was in the premier league!

Wow. There are no words to express our profound gratitude to Eric. From the very beginning of our house-selling process, Eric was prompt, knowledgeable, and made us, as first time home-sellers, feel comfortable. We knew we were in the right hands! Not only is he incredibly educated about the current market, but Eric also has a background as a lawyer, which set him above the other realtors we had consulted. He was always present and offering insightful suggestions at each showing and open house. He worked tirelessly to obtain interest in our home. He advised us appropriately on where to price our home, and was fantastic at negotiating, holding firm when he knew we could. We are forever indebted to him. Thank you, so much, Eric for everything! You are DEFINITELY as good as it gets!

Eric served as the agent for my daughter who recently moved to South Florida. He was not only knowledgeable about the inventory in the area, but found a three bedroom apartment in an extremely desireable area. Because of my daughter's schedule, Eric met me for the walk through and went above and beyond in helping me unload the car. But this was just the beginning. The apartment, while lovely, was not in a condition to turn over to a renter. A licensed attorney, Eric went into advocate mode and insisted that walls be painted, fixtures repaired, and appliances be cleaned to our satisfaction. In fact, the owner sent a second cleaning crew to bring the apartment up to the appropriate standards. Believe me, this is the agent you want representing you. I highly recommend him.

Eric was recommended to me by a very good friend over a year ago, as I've been considering selling my apartment. Although I'm still on the fence about selling the apartment, in the meantime, I decided to work with Eric to sell my mom's townhouse in Kendall, and I don't think I could have selected a better realtor. I haven't bought or sold a home in many years, and I had forgotten how complex and stressful these transactions can be, but Eric did everything possible to ensure a smooth process from start to finish. In addition to being very personable and knowledgeable, his honesty and high level of professionalism is pretty rare, particularly in this area. I'm definitely looking forward to working with Eric again when the time comes to sell my own place!

I recently closed on two transactions with Ibis Realty, both of which were seamless. I, as I'm sure many in my position, was worried about renting out my existing property in conjunction with closing on something new. Timing and negotiation were key to mitigating cost of carry, while also ensuring I found something new I liked. Not only did I have virtually no overlap, but the prices on both sides were heavily negotiated, leaving me in an even better position than I had anticipated. The property I own was rented out at above market levels, while the property I acquired was obtained at a significant discount to list. I highly recommend Ibis Realty Group and Eric and look forward to working with them again in the future.

This is the second Ibis Realty. Jessica has been so helpful that I promised her always to reach out when I need assistance finding a place. What makes her different is that she enjoys what she is doing. She listens to you to make sure all your needs are satisfied. She asks the right questions and looks after the client’s interest. Back in 2019 I was looking for a property while still living in NYC. I thought that was challenging but little did I know the housing market in Miami would get so crazy in 2021. Increase in demand and shortage in inventory made the search process hard and discouraging at times. Jessica, thanks for being so understanding, move fast and go out of your way to help me find my dream apartment!

Eric was fantastic. We had to find an apartment with very little notice after our daughter got a job in Miami, and we live in Oregon. Eric was was responsive and thorough from the start. After looking online at a large number of places we narrowed the search down to 4 or 5. He visited all of them in person to see their condition and checked up to make sure they were legitimate rentals (one was a scam). After we had our #1 pick he helped with all the documentation. He continued to follow up throughout the process, including the HOA application. When we got to the apartment it was exactly as described. We would wholeheartedly recommend Eric to anyone looking for help finding an apartment in the area.

Let me start by saying that working with Eric and Sophy was the best decision I have ever made. They made the entire process of selling my mom's condo effortless. I live in NY and I was unable to do anything related to getting the place ready for the sale of clearing out the condo. Eric and Sophy helped me out to hiring cleaning crews to deep clean the place. They then took on getting charities to come and pick up some of the furniture and other companies to clear out everything else. They staged the apartment so well that I actually had second thoughts about selling the place. If you want an amazing experience either buying a new place or selling your current place, don't waste time and call them.

I highly recommend Eric for residential and commercial real estate. He helped my boyfriend and I find the perfect apartment in a highly desired neighborhood FAST while I was out of town. He get's an A+ in communication, guidance and enthusiasm. A couple of years later, my partner and I worked with Eric in search of an office for our Business. I have to say it was one of the smoothest experiences I've ever had in this industry. I've referred tons of friends to Eric over the past few years, all whom have experienced the same success in finding exactly what they were looking for! If you're looking for someone who's sole interest is finding what fits you best, he's the man for the job.

Knowledgeable, diligent, and patient -- these are a few ways of describing Eric. I highly recommend him for any of your buying/renting needs. I needed to find an apartment in brickell and had a short window to find the perfect place-- Eric got it done (and within my budget, may I add). He knew the brickell area very well, which was great because we were able to see multiple buildings in an extremely efficient manner. I was very pleased with Eric going the extra mile to ensure the place was in pristine condition before moving in. His advocacy skills--given he is also a lawyer--are another advantage to selecting Eric for your real estate needs.

My husband and I started working with Eric Farmelant, Ibis Reality Group, right before the Covid-19 pandemic and shelter in-place mandate. Eric was highly professional and responsive during our search for a new home in Miami. We relocated from another state and were not familiar with Miami, Eric did a fantastic job introducing us to the various areas and ultimately helped us find the best home in the most ideal location. He negotiated the best possible price and continues to help us in any way he can, such a recommending a great handyman and other trustworthy resources. We would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a new home!

With Eric as a realtor and his team you are going to enjoy and love the experience of becoming a homeowner. Eric not only dedicates time for you and what you’re looking for but he goes the extra mile on everything. With him is not just a money transaction, it’s about you being happy and smart about the property you are deciding to acquire. He won’t allow you to invest on what he considers a bad deal or something not worth it, based on extensive research of the property, area, other neighbors’ opinion, etc. throughout the process, Eric, team and company become your friends and make this process so smooth and exciting!! Thank you, Eric!!!!!

Eric Farmelant was the best realtor we could have ever hoped to have in purchasing our first home. Eric has a wealth of knowledge and answered all of our questions. He also knows the market and knows how to interact with those on the other end of the deal. Eric has a mastery of the various neighborhoods in South Florida to ensure he helps you find exactly what you are looking for. He understood what we wanted and made it happen. Our accepted offer was even BELOW the asking price. Yes, in this market. I cannot thank him enough. Eric is also very personable and made the process of purchasing a home enjoyable. THANK YOU ERIC!

Eric is by far the best realtor we've ever worked with. We recently used him for a home purchase as well as a temporary rental. He's super responsive, friendly and flexible. His most outstanding qualities though are his knowledge and his honesty. He actually persuaded us not to purchase more expensive places (which obviously would have given him a larger commission) based on his knowledge of the area and market. He is the first realtor who we actually felt was looking out for our best interest. Would have zero qualms about working with him again in the future. If you're looking for a realtor, would 100% recommend Eric!

Thanks to Eric Farmelant our experience finding a new home was amazing! It was our second time using his services because Eric already helped us a year ago to negotiate a great deal with 2 months free in Doral. In no time Eric created a search tool for us with all our requirements and soon we went to see the first apartment. He was always on top of the game, efficient and super nice and did everything to help us. Finally, the perfect apartment was found and we signed the lease. We love this apartment already! Our family highly recommends Eric Farmelant as a great professional and an amazing person to work with!

My experience with Eric was fantastic! A few months ago, I wasn't sure if I wanted to purchase a own home, duplex or condo. For several weeks Eric was extremely patience and available to offer insight. He presented several options and we visited multiple properties. Ultimately, I decided to rent. Eric was also very supportive during this process. He ensured things went quickly and smoothly. He is trustworthy, detailed, punctual, professional and excellent at guiding a client through the ups and downs/highs and lows of purchasing (or renting) a property. I am forever grateful. I highly recommend Eric!

We had a great experience working with Eric to find an apartment in Brickell. He is hardworking, diligent and truly wants to find the place that meets your needs. Since we were moving from Europe and unable to view properties in person, he would visit and video the apartments on our list. He shared his knowledge of Brickell, the apartments and general information about the complexes. It was great to have a knowledgeable realtor! He was also thorough and replied very quickly during the contract negotiation phase. We love the apartment which he found and would definitely work with him in the future.

I strongly recommend Eric Farmelant to anyone needing a realtor. At first I was skeptical about hiring a realtor, but it took little time to realize Eric put my best interests first at all times. He talked me out of some potentially expensive, bad decisions (even though not doing so would have meant a greater commission for him), and ultimately helped me find a great new home in very little time amid the COVID shutdowns. As a first-time home buyer, I had many questions and concerns, and he promptly and patiently addressed them all. A colleague referred me to Eric and I’m grateful he did.

I reached out to Eric at Ibis Realty Group to find a condo when I found out I was moving to Miami. He was extremely responsive, professional and efficient. I flew into town for a few days specifically to find a place to rent. Eric had all of the appointments lined up and he found me a condo with everything I wanted in two days. His knowledge of the area was especially helpful since I was new to Miami. He helped me out again when my lease expired and I needed to negotiate new terms. I highly recommend his services to anyone in the Miami area that is looking to rent or buy a home.

Outstanding realtor...after 8 home purchases I can say Eric is the best by far! He is extremely knowledgeable in the Miami area and has great vision. I can't stress how amazing he is. I'm in love with my new home. I'm active duty military and my schedule changed last minute, as one can imagine. I had 5 days allotted to view homes, but that changed to 1 and a half. Eric picked me up from the airport and adjusted our whole schedule to accommodate me. Very flexible, communicative, and caring. The best real estate professional in the area....beg him to take you on as a client now!

Buying a house for the first time is stressful but exciting. Eric helped make the process as painless as possible and helped us find our dream house. He showed me and my husband multiple properties and was very patient throughout the process of narrowing down what we were looking for. I was very impressed by his dedication. We ultimately were able to buy the house we fell in love with and couldn't have done it without Eric! He also recommended electricians and contractors during the inspection period to make sure everything was up to code and negotiated credits for us.

I'd strongly recommend Eric for anybody looking to purchase a home. As a first-time home buyer, I had no idea how to start my search. Eric clearly explained what to expect in homeownership and my search and the initial steps to take. Eric was extremely patient and never pushy throughout the process, even though it took over a year to finally close on a property. He offered solid recommendations to complete the transaction (mortgage, insurance, inspection, title, etc.) Quick to get things done, very on the ball, and strong negotiation skills (I paid under list price).

I needed to find an apartment to rent in Miami on very short notice and after looking at the reviews for agents on Yelp I decided to contact Eric. It was a very good decision. Eric was immediately responsive to my inquiries and was clearly knowledgeable and able to recommend places that were the best for my budget. He set up viewings for the next day and within two days of my initial contact he helped me put an application in on my chosen apartment. Given my hurry, his efficiency and support was so appreciated. Definitely highly recommend!

Eric is awesome!!!!! He helped to make our move to Florida so much easier. Prior to our move we visited to look at apartments and he set up many for us to look at. Ultimately, We decided on an apartment we did not get to see in person. Eric was great about going to the apartment and doing a video walk through for us. He was able to find us exactly what we were looking for and helped to make the process easy for us. We are renting for now, but definitely going to look to Eric to help us find something to buy in the future.

We worked with Eric for about a year to find a home in a crazy market. Eric guided us through the process of seeing multiple properties and submitting offers. Needless to say the process was difficult, with many unforeseen issues coming up. However, Eric was always available to guide us and answer any questions we had, he is very knowledgeable. We finally found a home and Eric also helped us connect with a trustworthy closing agent and a mortgage broker. Will definitely use Eric when buying/selling property in the future.

Had the pleasure of working with Eric on the purchase of my home. Eric is as good as it gets! From the moment me and my wife met him he was very patient, attentive to detail, and most importantly worried about best interest in purchasing a new home. He never let us get into something that he knew was not good for us and I value that as integrity. Everyone he recommended were spectacular from mortgage brokers, inspectors, and title agencies. Today we have a new home and felt led through the journey by Eric and his team.

I had a hard time find a reliable, knowledgable realtor in Miami as I was trying to move apartments. Eric made the process as easy as looking for a new apartment can be and allowed me to lead the process so that I never felt pressured or like he was just trying to "close a deal". He also continued to follow up with me after the lease was signed to make sure everything went smoothly and provided good advice on various aspects of the looking/renting process. If I move again, I would definitely use him as my realtor!

A few months ago my wife and I began the search for our dream home, picking the height of the market craze to begin. Buying a home is known to be a stressful process, but luckily for us we had Eric. Eric was able to help us navigate those stressful waters with ease, always available and nothing but friendly and professional the entire time. What could have been massive hurdles turned out to be nothing more than minor speed bumps thanks to Erics experience and guidance. We forever owe him a debt of gratitude.

Eric was absolutely fabulous in helping us sell our home. He guided us through the whole process, executed the plan perfectly, kept us informed every step of the way, and ensured that we did everything we needed in order to keep things moving along smoothly. Eric has a positive attitude and positive energy that really helped keep us optimistic throughout the whole selling process. Yazmin was also very helpful and supportive. I would highly recommend Eric and Ibis Realty. Thank you so much, Eric and Yazmin!

My fiancé and I contacted Eric based on a recommendation from friends who also had great experiences with him. We had a short time period to look for a new apartment, and he was very responsive and efficient. He found us several great places to look at, and we found the perfect apartment for us after just one day. He did an excellent job negotiating a great deal, and made the whole process as seamless and stress-free as possible. I recommend him without reservation to anyone looking for a realtor.

Eric was responsive from the very first phone call, driving to see the property the same day of our first conversation. Our property had some legal issues that took a while to resolve, but Eric was steadfast in his efforts to engage and keep prospective buyers while we worked out the obstacles. He is very professional, scrupulous, and diplomatic in his dealings with both sellers and buyers, and he sold our property at what we consider top dollar for this property.

I used Eric at Ibis Realty Group to sell my condo in Miami and could not have been happier. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and informative at every step of the process. He never missed or rescheduled any showings, and even arrived at the condo for a showing extra early to make sure it looked good when I was out of town. In the end, he got us more than we expected despite a decline in the market at the time. I would definitely use Eric again!

I greatly enjoyed working with Eric on the sale of my home. He was very attentive, easy to work with and always available. If ever I had a question, or concern, Eric took care of it efficiently and in a very professional matter. Working with someone like Eric and The Ibis group is like working with family where you know they will always have your best interest in mind. I highly recommend Eric and The Ibis Group for all real estate transactions.

Eric helped us move from the Ohio to Miami, FL. He was a wonderful realtor that helped us truly understand the area prior to starting the search. During our search, he did in-person and virtual tours to help us view a variety of homes that met our criteria. Eric quickly earned our trust once he very carefully negotiated the purchase of our home. I would highly recommend working with Eric for anyone buying or selling their home in Miami.

I sold my house this year through Eric Farmelant and Ibis Realty Group. I highly recommend Eric. He was great every step of the way. He was always responsive. Eric was communicative and addressed every one of my concerns in a satisfactory, timely manner. He always went out of his way and has a strong work ethic. Most importantly, he got me top dollar for my house. I would definitely use him again and I recommend him to everyone.

Eric was good to work with. He is very knowledgeable about the real estate industry. A real straight- shooter. You can trust him to tell you whether or not you are getting good value on your purchase or your sale. He is definitely not one of those pushy agents that is just concerned about their commission like many are. He tries to find the best option for his clients. Very hard to find in the real estate industry.

I highly recommend Eric Farmelant for finding your new home. During difficult circumstances with the Covid-19 pandemic and shelter in-place mandate, Eric was highly professional and responsive during my hunt for a new apartment in Miami while I lived out-of-state. With his help and recommendations, I was able to find my dream apartment! I cannot thank him enough for making my move as smooth as possible.

Eric was the best! I was relocating from Wisconsin to Miami for school, and Eric made the transition & finding an apartment so easy! I was always able to get ahold of him in a timely manner, and he took the time to answer all my questions! He helped me find the most beautiful apartment, and I couldn't be more happy. Would 100% recommend him to anyone looking to make their apartment hunting a breeze!

We found Eric while we were searching for an apartment prior to our move to Doral, FL. Eric was able to assist us as we only had less than 30 days to find an apartment, apply and be accepted into a place. He was willing to work with my family locally to see places and also facilitated the ease of applying online as well as being a conduit between the community managers and us.

I met Eric in search for an apartment in Miami. Being from NYC and not to familiar with Florida, Eric was a huge help in advising on location, value and the overall process in dealing with Miami condo associations and landlords.

Eric helped me purchase a condo as a first-time homebuyer and new Miami resident.

Eric was extremely helpful with helping me find the best place during a notoriously difficult time renting in Miami. He was very responsive, helpful, and kind. He took into account each of our requests and found the best options for us. He even went above and beyond during the paperwork portion by answering some of our questions. I highly recommend Eric!

Eric is an amazing realtor. I referred him to my friend, who was having difficulty finding a place after working with several realtors and by herself. Within hours, he connected us to a few people, and she found her perfect place. My friend is extremely picky so this worked out well. If I buy in his area, I'll definitely use him - hands down. Great guy.

Eric sold our home (above asking price) while we were still looking to purchase another home. As part of the sale he negotiated a lease back from the buyers until we found our dream house. Then Eric helped us find and buy that too. He really can do it all! Not only that, but Eric is probably the most ethical realtor in all of South Florida.

Eric was just outstanding! From A to Z he took care of us. He was incredibly good at figuring out very quickly the type of place that would fit our style. We were also really impressed by his very quick follow up to all our texts and calls. No doubt that we'll have him helping us again in the future. Thank you, Eric!

Best in Brickell.

Eric is the best! He is extremely knowledgeable of not only the South Florida market, but also of the whole process, whether it be buying, selling or renting.
