Licensed Florida real estate brokerage
Your real estate agent for selling a home in Aventura, FL
Sell Your Home in Aventura and the surrounding area, with a licensed real-estate professional. No obligation.
Aventura sits between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic in northeast Miami-Dade, and the housing here is mostly mid- and high-rise condominium towers built largely from the 1970s through the 2000s, with newer luxury towers added since. That mix makes selling here different from selling in most of Florida. Buyers will ask about the building and its association as much as the unit. When you choose who to hire, look for an active Florida license (you can verify it with the DBPR) and real comfort with condo documents, flood questions and insurance-related inspections.
Premier Real Estate Group Inc is a licensed Florida brokerage, and a Florida brokerage license is valid in every county. A licensed real-estate professional, either from Premier Real Estate Group Inc or a licensed agent we refer you to, will contact you by phone or email. We start with a free comparative market analysis, which is an opinion of value prepared by a licensee, not an appraisal or an automated estimate. There is no obligation.
Salt air and humidity affect how a unit and a building present to buyers. Waterfront and near-waterfront buildings take constant salt spray, so corrosion on garage door hardware, gate chains and deadbolts is common, and shared garages and association-controlled gates see heavy daily use. Buyers and their inspectors notice these details. Because concrete block and poured-concrete towers are built for coastal wind loads, the questions that come up most are about the association, flood history, and any milestone inspection or SIRS findings, along with open permits and insurance documentation. A plan for the sale should anticipate each of these before the listing goes live.
What to know in Aventura
Association documents and approval
Condo and HOA sales require delivery of governing documents, budgets and disclosure materials. Associations may also require buyer approval and estoppel certificates, so gather these early. Approval is never something we can promise.
Milestone inspections and SIRS
For buildings three stories or taller, buyers should ask for the association's milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study reports. Results can affect reserves, assessments and buyer financing, so know what your building's reports say.
Flood zone and flood insurance questions
Aventura is on the coast, so buyers commonly ask about FEMA flood zone status and any flood-insurance history. Florida sellers must give buyers a flood disclosure (s. 689.302, F.S.).
Four-point and wind-mitigation inspections
Insurers commonly ask for a four-point inspection on older homes and offer wind-mitigation credits for documented features. Single-family homes in the gated subdivisions may need these, and buyers will ask about roof age.
Salt-air wear on shared and private hardware
Corroded garage door hardware, gate operators and lock cylinders can show up in inspections. Addressing visible wear before showings avoids surprises during negotiations.
Open permits surfacing at sale
Past renovations can raise permit questions once a buyer's team reviews the file. Check with your association and the building department before listing.
Seasonal timing
Units that sat closed through the humid summer are often reopened in the fall, which shapes when buyers are looking. Timing your listing around that is a strategy question, not a promise of results.

Florida rules and paperwork in Aventura
In Florida, a person who lists or sells property for others for compensation generally must hold an active license. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Division of Real Estate, under the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC), oversees licensing, so verify any individual's status there. Sellers typically sign a written listing agreement, receive a brokerage relationship disclosure, and disclose known material defects that are not readily observable. A flood disclosure is also required. Condo and HOA sales involve governing documents, budgets and association approval where the documents require it. Resale condo contracts may carry a short statutory right of cancellation after required documents are delivered. Florida requires milestone inspections for condo buildings three stories or taller once they reach 30 years (s. 553.899, F.S.) and a SIRS under s. 718.112(2)(g), F.S. In Miami-Dade County, documentary stamp tax on the deed is 60 cents per 100 dollars of the price, plus a surtax of 45 cents per 100 dollars when the property is not a single-family residence. Who pays each item is set by the contract and is negotiable. Our free Florida Doc Stamp & Closing Tax Calculator is at /tools/florida-closing-costs. If you have a homestead exemption, ask the county property appraiser how Save Our Homes portability applies to your next Florida home. FIRPTA withholding may apply to foreign sellers, so confirm specifics with a Florida attorney or CPA.

Sell Your Home in Aventura: common questions
- What should I look for in an agent to sell a condo in Aventura?
- Look for an active Florida license, which you can verify with the DBPR, and comfort with association documents, estoppel certificates and milestone inspection and SIRS questions. Ask how they prepare a building-specific plan.

- If your building is three stories or taller, buyers should ask for the association's milestone and SIRS reports, and the results can affect reserves, assessments and financing. Request current copies from your association before listing.
- Does flood insurance matter when selling in Aventura?
- It can. Aventura sits between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic, and lenders generally require flood insurance in a Special Flood Hazard Area. Florida also requires a seller flood disclosure, so gather your flood-zone and insurance history early.
