For families, students, and graduates
Miami student rentals near campus — Coral Gables, South Miami, Coconut Grove, Brickell.
A real estate advisor — not a leasing agent — helping families, upperclassmen, graduate students, and faculty find the right home in the neighborhoods around campus.
Who I work with
Four kinds of clients, all looking for the same thing: someone in Miami who actually knows the market.
Parents searching from out of state
You shouldn't have to learn the Miami rental market from 1,500 miles away. I handle the search, the tours, the lease review, and the move-in coordination on your end.
Upperclassmen and graduate students
Group leases, roommate dynamics, neighborhood-by-neighborhood knowledge, and honest guidance on what's worth the rent and what isn't.
Families relocating with a student
Whole-family moves where the student is the anchor and the rest of the household is figuring out Miami at the same time.
Faculty and visiting academics
Professors, new hires relocating to Miami, and visiting academics navigating short-term and longer-term housing near campus.
How this is different
Most agents treat student-area rentals as volume work. I treat it as the start of a longer relationship.
I'll show you the apartments, condos, and homes worth the rent — and tell you which ones to skip. I'll structure the lease to protect you, whether it's a $3,500 one-bedroom or a $15,000 group lease in a single-family home.
I'm a Real Estate Advisor at Cervera Real Estate, with ten-plus years in Miami residential and investment real estate. I speak Portuguese, Spanish, Hebrew, and English. I work the way I'd want someone working for my family.
The neighborhoods
Four neighborhoods cover almost every housing decision near campus. Each has its own rhythm — here’s how to think about them.
Coral Gables
Closest to campus · most walkable
A mix of single-family homes, townhouses, and small condo buildings. Walkable to campus, established and quiet. The default for families and grad students who want stability.
South Miami
Best value · easy commute
Slightly more affordable than Coral Gables, with apartments, townhouses, and homes within a short drive of campus. Strong choice for students splitting rent and families looking for space per dollar.
Coconut Grove
Waterfront · lifestyle-led
Tree-lined streets, restaurants on the bay, and a mix of condos, townhouses, and historic homes. Worth the slightly longer commute for the right family or grad student.
Brickell
Urban high-rise · college seniors and grads favorite
Miami's downtown core, dense with restaurants, gyms, and nightlife. A 20-minute drive to campus or a quick Metrorail ride, and an easy lifestyle for upperclassmen and graduate students who want city energy. Apartments and condos in modern towers.
