FAQ
1. What areas of South Florida do you serve?
We specialize in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Delray Beach, and surrounding communities. If you have interest in adjacent areas, let us know — we often assist clients just outside those boundaries.
2. What types of properties do you handle?
We work with a broad spectrum — from luxury waterfront estates and high-end penthouses to first-time homes and investment properties. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, we tailor our approach to your goals.
3. How are your services for investors different from standard buyer/seller services?
Our investment guidance includes market data analysis, cash flow and return projections, portfolio growth strategy, property management referrals, and exit planning. We aim to help you make decisions backed by data and long-term vision.
4. What are your fees or commission rates?
Our commission is competitive within the South Florida real estate market and typically aligned with industry norms. We’ll review the specifics during our initial consultation and ensure full transparency up front.
5. How long does it take to buy or sell a property?
Timeline varies depending on property type, market conditions, financing, inspections, and complexity. In many South Florida markets, active homes may receive offers within weeks. But from listing to closing, a safe estimate is 30–90 days. We’ll walk you through each stage so you know what to expect.
6. Can you help me with financing or mortgage pre-approval?
Yes — while we are not mortgage lenders, we work closely with trusted lenders and mortgage partners who can assist you with pre-approval, loan options, and financing strategies that suit your needs.
7. Do I need to be physically present if I’m relocating from out of state or internationally?
Not necessarily. Many of our clients relocate from other states or countries. We can conduct virtual property tours, digital document signing, and remote walkthroughs. We’ll coordinate inspections, closing logistics, and guide you step-by-step.
8. How do you market a property when I sell?
We deploy a multifaceted strategy: professional photography, virtual tours, targeted digital marketing, listing on MLS and premium real estate platforms, open houses, network outreach, and staging advice. Each property gets a tailored marketing plan.
9. What makes Unlock South Florida / Gonzalo Pereira different from other agents?
We believe in a partnership-driven approach, not just a transaction. Our local expertise, bilingual capabilities, personalized strategies, data-driven decisions, and responsiveness set us apart. We also maintain post-sale support, helping clients with tasks after closing (utilities, contractors, etc.).
10. What happens after closing — do you assist beyond the sale or purchase?
Absolutely. We support clients post-closing with introductions to trusted contractors, movers, utility setup, property management referrals, and ongoing market advice. Our goal is to make your transition as smooth as possible, even after the deal is done.
