As we step into 2026, it is a natural moment to reset, refocus, and move forward with optimism and intention. This month’s newsletter is designed to keep you connected to what’s happening around Miami, from upcoming events and local highlights to the moments that shape our neighborhoods and everyday lifestyle. Whether you are enjoying the season, planning ahead, or simply staying in the loop, my goal is to provide value, inspiration, and clarity as the new year unfolds. Thank you for being part of this community. I am truly grateful to start 2026 with you and look forward to supporting you throughout the year ahead.

“Jeannie was fantastic to work with during our home acquisition process! She helped bridge the gap between us and the sellers and was always available to take our call regardless how late it was. She was super resourceful when it came to questions about the home and neighborhood and was diligent handling the renovations needed to make the home insurable! Overall a great person with a welcoming attitude that made us comfortable with such an important life decision!”

“We first met Jeannie nearly four years ago, when we arrived from France ready to begin our new chapter in Miami. Jeannie helped and supported us very actively in finding our very first rental, and it was the perfect fit ; we stayed almost four years in that property, which met all our criteria. Ultimately, Jeannie advised us and found the perfect home to purchase, once again meeting all our criteria. It has been such a joy to have Jeannie with us on this journey, to have someone we could truly trust. Thank you for being with us throughout the complex process of purchasing a home ; a moment filled not only with numbers but with many emotions. Thank you, Jeannie, for making our dreams become reality.”

“I’ve really enjoyed working with Jeannie. She’s professional, easy to communicate with, stays on top of details, and genuinely cares about her clients. From a lender’s perspective, that makes a big difference. She’s organized, responsive, and always happy to work together to keep things moving smoothly. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great Realtor!”

“Jeanie has sold three houses for our family in the past three years- and each time was a better experience that the previous one! She is the consummate professional – handling sensitive situations objectively and delicately. She went above and beyond her responsibilities as a realtor – handling small house repairs, coordinating with the estate/beneficiaries, and planning multiple open houses and marketing efforts. She was particularly great about communicating updates and providing guidance without over communicating or asking for too much input. I would strongly recommend working with Jeanie as your realtor. I have never worked with a better advisor, friend, and expert!”
