Tatiana Rodriguez was amazing to work with! She helped us find an apartment to rent and made the whole process so much easier. She was very knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and always responded quickly whenever we reached out to her. She was also kind, patient, and very helpful throughout the entire process. She even let us tour the building twice so we could feel more comfortable with our decision, which we really appreciated. She went out of her way to make sure we had the information we needed and never made us feel rushed. You can tell she really cares about helping her clients. I would definitely recommend Tatiana to anyone looking to rent an apartment or needing a realtor. Thank you for all your help!
Mia was absolutely wonderful. I had 48 hours to secure an apartment and Mia was able to book more than 7 places to go visit. I truly appreciated the focus and attention on my needs. I was able to sign in the perfect apartment. She is very communicative and works with your needs. Would recommend her over and over.
Katia Bon was a wonderful realtor. A longtime Miami resident, Katia’s extensive knowledge of not only the various neighborhoods but the particulars of each building made my search easy. She was professional, kind, and I never felt pressured at any point while buying my first home. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a place in Miami!
Sep and Lysandra did an amazing job selling our condo in Edgewater. They were super patient, professional, and an overall pleasure to work with. If you are transacting in Edgewater, definitely do yourself a favor and work with Blackbook!
Working with a Tatiana Rodriguez - Blackbook Properties - was, by far, the best real estate experience we have ever had. From day one of our home search, her responsiveness, professionalism, and deep market expertise set her apart. She was proactive at every step, anticipated our needs before we even voiced them, and guided us through the market with total confidence. Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every interaction, but what impressed us most was her incredible responsiveness and willingness to go above and beyond to bring the best experience - no question went unanswered, and no detail was ever overlooked. She turned what can often be a stressful process into a smooth, effortless journey. She is exceptionally skilled at her craft and an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you Tatiana!
