Property management in Miami Shores

A village of older homes, kept to a high standard.

Short-term rentals are limited here. Annual leases are the plan we lead with, and your community usually has its own rules. The panel shows what the city allows.

Miami Shores is a residential village between Miami and North Miami, known for tree-lined streets of older single-family homes. The bayfront streets east of Biscayne Boulevard hold some of the larger waterfront houses, while the blocks around the country club and the small downtown on NE 2nd Avenue are mostly classic family homes. Barry University sits on the village's western side. There are few condos or apartment buildings, so nearly every rental is a house.

That housing stock makes Miami Shores a long-term rental market first. Families rent here for the schools, parks and quiet streets, and leases tend to run a year or more. Older homes also need steady care: roofs, plumbing, electrical, pools, landscaping and storm preparation all go on a schedule, with photos and invoices in the owner app. Tenants here expect a well-kept house, and a responsive manager keeps good ones renewing. We set rent from what comparable homes in the village actually lease for.

Short stays are possible, but the village runs its own licensing. A vacation rental needs a village license renewed every year, a fire marshal inspection, insurance naming the village, a local agent in Miami-Dade, guest registers kept for 3 years and the license number on every ad. Occupancy is capped at 2 guests plus 2 per bedroom, and no more than 1 per 150 square feet of air-conditioned space. For most homes here an annual lease is the simpler plan, and it is the one we lead with.

Brandon is also a licensed broker who can help you buy in Miami Shores, whether that is a bayfront house or a family home near the country club, and we manage it from there. Village owners see every rent payment, repair and inspection in the owner app and a monthly report.
