Going forward, The Miami Luxury Homes Group will be known as ‘The Light Group’ at Douglas Elliman Real Estate. To go along with this announcement, we have also finally launched The Official Condo Website for Miami, Miami Beach and the surrounding neighborhoods, MiamiCondos.com.

Though we had no intention of changing our group’s name, the State of Florida recently passed legislation regarding real estate teams in an effort to help the public understand who/what is a real estate company and who is an agent on a team, within a company. See, there have been many agents running teams with fancy names and titles that have misled the public into thinking the team is the overall brokerage company they worked for…in Florida, this is and always has been illegal. This change will help bring further transparency to our industry.

I have always been transparent that The Miami Luxury Homes Group, and now The Light Group, is part of Douglas Elliman Real Estate, our brokerage company with 523 offices in 60 countries and headquartered at 575 Madison Avenue in New York City.

The Light Group is very excited about launching MiamiCondos.com, but rest assured we will still be updating and servicing MiamiLuxuryHomes.com as well…the two will run parallel to each other.

MiamiCondos.com

The Miami Condos website is a comprehensive tool for both buyers and sellers, providing you with all of the necessary resources to make an informed decision regarding the purchase or sale of a condo only in Miami, while MiamiLuxuryHomes.com will serve as a source for both luxury homes and condos.

Why is MiamiCondos.com different from other condo websites? MiamiCondos.com is owned and operated by an award-winning luxury real estate team, The Light Group at Douglas Elliman Real Estate, which is run by a dynamic husband and wife duo, Michael and Jaimee Light. Michael and Jaimee take pride in ensuring that MiamiCondos.com provides accurate statistics, news, condo building details and community information, by personally creating all of the copyrighted content on the site, as well as manually calculating statistical data for their readers. Further, Michael and Jaimee understand that their clients hail from all around the world, and it is significant to educate clients on the wide variety of neighborhoods that make up Miami and Miami Beach. The neighborhood section displays each condo community and highlights the key qualities of each neighborhood from a local’s perspective to guide you to the community that best suits your needs.

Please Keep in Mind…

Building a brand-new website from scratch with original copyrighted content, original copyrighted photography, original design, etc. takes a lot of time, so we hope that you understand that not all of our neighborhood pages and condo building pages will be launched from the start. Over the next 6 months, we hope to have all of our neighborhoods and condo pages up and running on MiamiCondos.com! We have launched with the following neighborhoods because these are the most high-demand areas for our current client base: Coconut GroveDowntown MiamiBrickellSouth BeachSouth of Fifth and Miami Beach.

THANK YOU!

First, we want to thank all of our clients, friends, family and everyone who has supported us throughout the years with MiamiLuxuryHomes.com and now MiamiCondos.com. A special thank you is well deserved to our website developer, Mario Zamora, Founder/Owner of GoIDX, and photographer Shawn Hood, Founder/Owner of Shawn Hood Media, who have both spent hundreds of hours helping to bring MiamiCondos.com to fruition. We really appreciate the hard work and dedication you all have shown us, and we thank you for helping us every step of the way!

About Douglas Elliman Real Estate

Established in 1911, Douglas Elliman has grown to become the most reputable luxury real estate firm in the country. As the market leaders in New York, South Florida, California, Connecticut, Colorado, New Jersey, Boston and Houston, Douglas Elliman closed more than $28+ Billion in real estate transactions in 2018 making it the 2nd largest privately-owned residential real estate brokerage in the country by sales volume. In addition, Douglas Elliman has strategically partnered with Knight Frank Residential of London to extend their powerful real estate network to 523 offices in 60 countries across 6 continents.

Douglas Elliman’s Powerful International Partnership with Knight Frank Residential

Douglas Elliman Real Estate, the 2nd highest-grossing private real estate company in the United States, formed an exclusive partnership with Knight Frank Residential headquartered in London, which is an international luxury real estate firm that individually operates across Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. These 2 real estate powerhouses strategically formed an alliance because Douglas Elliman only operates in the United States while Knight Frank operates everywhere but the U.S. So, what better way to take over the luxury real estate market across the globe…form an exclusive partnership. Both Douglas Elliman and Knight Frank represent many ultra-high-net-worth individuals that are buying real estate all over the world. Together, DE & KF joined forces to create an influential real estate network spanning 523 offices in 60 countries across 6 continents.

Our companies share clients and data as well as collaborate on projects. For example, every year DE & KF put out the highly-respected Wealth Report, which reflects the global perspective on prime property and investment, including key wealth trends and property hotspots around the world. The Wealth Report examines investment trends covering almost 100 countries and 100+ cities, including what $1M USD buys you around the world.
