A clear plan to rent out your Miami condo.

Start with a useful rental assessment.

Two units in the same building can rent differently. The review starts with your floor plan, size, floor, view, condition, furnishings, parking and permitted lease terms. Recent comparable leases and current competing listings help frame a realistic asking range.

The initial discussion helps identify a rental range to investigate, what needs to happen before marketing and whether the intended lease fits your plans. If information is missing, the next step may be to obtain the building rules or arrange a property review. An estimate is not a guaranteed rent or a formal appraisal.

From preparation to move-in.

1. Review the unit and your plans. Share the address, availability, existing occupancy and whether selling is also an option.
2. Confirm the building requirements. Obtain the current rental rules, application package and review schedule before advertising a start date.
3. Agree on representation. Discuss the scope, fees, marketing plan and responsibilities before proceeding. Brokerage fees are negotiable.
4. Prepare and market the condo. Coordinate presentation, photography, accurate listing information and showing access under the agreed service.
5. Review applications and negotiate terms. Use consistent, lawful criteria and coordinate the lease and association process. The owner makes the rental decision; screening cannot guarantee future performance.
6. Coordinate the handoff. Confirm approvals, signed documents, funds, condition documentation and access arrangements before move-in.

Use the owner’s step-by-step checklist to organize the documents and decisions at each stage.

What to send for your rental assessment.

• Building address and unit number.
• Bedrooms, bathrooms, approximate size, floor and view.
• Condition, recent improvements, furnishings and parking.
• Availability, current occupancy and any existing lease.
• Current association rental rules, if available.

Start with the short inquiry form. Sensitive documents can be discussed later through an appropriate channel. The pricing guide explains how asking rents, completed leases and vacancy affect the assessment.

What happens after you contact Raphael?

The conversation starts with the property and your objective. You can discuss a rental assessment without committing to representation. Before marketing begins, agree on the work to be performed, brokerage fees and any separate expenses. The rental estimate remains free and without obligation.

Leasing and ongoing management are different services.

This service description covers the leasing process. Rent collection, maintenance, accounting and ongoing tenant issues require a separate discussion and an agreed arrangement. They are not promised as part of the website’s rental estimate.

If you live elsewhere, establish who will handle those responsibilities after move-in. See the guide for owners living abroad for a practical coordination checklist.

Considering a sale instead?

Raphael also represents sellers. Compare expected rental income, carrying costs, your holding period and a possible sale strategy before deciding. Select “Compare renting and selling” in the inquiry form and review the rent-or-sell framework.
