Team

Sep Niakan Photo Sep Niakan Lic. Real Estate Broker Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Sep Niakan, Managing Broker of Blackbook Properties and a real estate sales top producer in the Miami area for the past 15 years.

I pride myself on keeping the buying and selling process simple and fun, being a knowledgeable guide for my clients, and negotiating to get my clients what they want at a fair price.

I have built my business based on long-term relationships, not individual transactions. If a trusted relationship is what you are looking for when buying or selling your home, please give me a ring and let's talk.

On a more personal note, I am married to a beautiful woman, have two beautiful young children and enjoy a life filled with lots of family and friends that I cherish. When I am not working, my only regular hobby is spending time with my family and close friends. I occasionally need to get away for a few days to clear my mind, and my favorite destinations are places where neither the people nor the landscapes remind me of home, so that it can feel I am getting a true "reboot".

Oh, and I am also founder of condoblackbook.com

Stephanie Bienstock Photo Stephanie Bienstock Director of Luxury Sales A true Miami Beach native, Stephanie was inspired at the tender age of 16 to become involved in the transformation of the city. Her ability to get along with everyone and instantly put people at ease made her a perfect fit for real estate. Starting as an assistant to a number of top-line producers of the time, she obtained her license at 19 years old. And, there’s been no looking back ever since.

Stephanie continued working for some of the top real estate minds of the city and gained experience working with affluent clients. This led her to finally begin selling real estate independently in the early 2000s. Since then, her exclusive focus has been luxury waterfront properties, and she has participated in the sale of over $350,000,000 in sales. A feat that has helped many discerning clients find their picture-perfect property on the water.

Stephanie is often described as an open, easy going and genuine person. Being a perfectionist, she loves being organized and well-prepared. This comes in handy for her clients, as she not only brings a sense of structure to their entire experience but also helps put things into perspective for others, giving them the clarity they need to make good decisions.

Besides striving to excel at everything she does, Stephanie loves exercising and a good cup of coffee. She’s a dedicated mom of two and wife of one who really takes enjoyment in spending time with them. Not many know that this perfectionist has ninja-fast reflexes and also packs a mean punch. So spar with her at your own risk.

I met Evan through my Miami property search. Evan quickly engaged with me and started to understand my taste and help me narrow my search by describing the various areas I thought I liked. I then changed my mind about buying right away as I wanted to move and feel out the city. Evan was supportive throughout and ended up helping me with renting a condo in Brickell, doing a virtual walk-through, and picked up the key for me so it was available when I got into Miami. I highly recommend Evan!

If I could give 15 stars, I would! Our realtor, Tatiana Rodriguez was outstanding in her search for our new home! She found not only a great price but a perfect location here in Edgewater as well! We really were scrambling to find a new place but she came in clutch and we could not be more thankful for her services. She not only found us a home but went with us for our walkthrough to make sure everything was up to our standards and expectations. Highly recommend and appreciative for her superb work here!

I had an amazing experience with Katia Bon at Blackbook! She is awesome and was a breath of fresh air to work with. A very reliable agent, the services she provided was actually on behalf of the condo owner I rented from in Cite Condos (one of her listings). She did a tremendous job. Every single time I reached out with an issue she responded right away in a timely manner and took care of the problem with speed and compassion. This stood out especially because I was new to the Miami area, her assistance made me feel welcomed. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent to connect with. If you are looking for a reliable, hardworking, and extremely efficient agent please look up Katia @ Blackbook. She’s the best!

Within a span of a week, Tatiana Rodriguez helped me lock down a place to live in Miami. I reached out to Tatiana on a Monday, we toured apartments on Wednesday, and by Friday I had an apartment secured. Her responsiveness and hard work were key to keeping up the momentum in the process. I would trust her to get the job done while maintaining quality and integrity in her work.
