CLIENT REVIEWS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My husband and I want to thank Marco and Elite Real Estate Associates for all of their help in the process of purchasing our first property in Miami. I am a seasoned real estate agent myself in the state of Texas. Having knowledge of the business and dealing/working with so many different agents, I can wholeheartedly say that Marco is the best of the best. Professional, communcative, honest. He was on top of every step and made us feel very secure with our purchase. He knows the business and most importantly he knows his clients and what their needs are. He made us feel like we were his only clients while managing others at the same time. We got lucky with Marco and his team and are delighted with how smooth everything went. Moving across states is not an easy task, especially purchasing a home sight unseen, but in our situation, it was meant to be and again, we are so grateful and blessed we fell in the hands of such good people, the Elite Real Estate Associates.

Name: Janel Yglesias ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We were recommended to use the team at Elite Real Estate, and we are so delighted that we were. A big thank you to Marco, Jem, and the whole team for all of your hard work in helping us find our home!

Having moved from another state (and before that, another country), we had little idea on which area to live in, and the nuances and complexities of the Miami real estate. However, the team at Elite Real Estate dedicated a huge amount of time with us, making things easy, spending hours showing us places, on multiple occasions, to help us find our home, making sure it was the right fit for us. Their knowledge of Miami, and ability to find the best deal, is unrivalled.

We are so grateful for all the hard work they put in, and not only would recommend them to everyone we know (and already have started to), but we look forward to working with them again in the future.

My experience with Elite Real Estates Associates was great throughout the whole process. Marco and Jem, as well as the whole Elite Team, were super friendly and available for questions at any time. They were dedicated to helping us find what we needed and their suggestions as we were searching were super helpful. Marco and Jem put together an easy to use list of potential places and quickly answered any questions we had about each one. Because we were unable to tour any places ourselves, Marco went to the places we were interested in himself and took pictures and videos for us. They also were excellent at communicating with us and helping through the lease and signing process, which went very smoothly with their help. Very grateful to Marco and Jem for their help throughout the process and highly recommend them and Elite Real Estate for everyone!

Name: Matthew Wearp ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had a wonderful experience with Elite Real Estate Associates! I was worried about finding an apartment while living in a different city, but Marco and Jem made the process extremely easy by uploading properties within my budget and criteria to a portal for me to peruse. Once I was able to travel to Miami Marco set up numerous tours that accommodated my schedule and was very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods we saw and the surrounding areas. They even went the extra mile to coordinate with my new landlords and drop off my move in fees since I couldn't do it myself in person. I would recommend them to any friend moving to Miami. 10/10!

Name: Lauren Ferguson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Marco and Jen educated and helped me understand the process of selling my home. They pointed out hard to notice features and faults with the property and then negotiated a better price. Marco gave me strong advice in the buying process of my new home as well. Highly recommended and very reputable 🙌🏽

I'm honored and happy like always to be one of your many satisfied customers !!!!! Thank you again to Marco and Jem, God bless guys 🙏🏻

Name: Laz Fle⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This review is long overdue but is never too late to give credit when credit is due. I know Marco and Jem for over a few years now and we have previously worked together in other properties. Right off the bat you can always expect professionalism and punctual appointments from them and their team, no matter how bad the traffic is in Miami. If they cannot be personally present they will ALWAYS inform via email, text or phone call of whatever the situation is, or the update from any pending transaction. Jem makes one of the best open house arrangements, pictures and set up suggestions for the perfect shot to bring the best attributes of any property. Besides excellent communication and work ethics Marco and his team, went above and beyond to resolve some issues we encountered during closing time on our last property. Just to mention one of the problems, he stayed over 2 hours waiting at 1st Financial Inc (buyers chosen title company) to make sure closing would be at the chosen date due to moving arrangements, loan payoff, mortgage overdue late fines and to avoid delays. By the way, worse title company in over a decade of real-estate experience Marco ever encountered! Like I said, I won’t hesitate to recommend Marco & Jem and their team. The few times that I did not use them (not by my choosing) I can honestly say it was NOT an easy transaction. Hands down great work 24/7 and trustworthy with the best intentions with stellar costumer service. Thank you Marco & Jem for the excellent work and hopefully we will be doing business soon again.

Name: Nei Silva Filho ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This group of professionals will always get our business. Marco and his team truly care about what is in the best interest for their clients. No job is too small: if it's important to you, then its important to them. They have gone on the house hunting "journey" with us 3 times now, and each time they work extra hard to make our dreams come true. Thank you for your patience and we will forever be your loyal clients.

Name: Mariel Cavalie ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I cannot say enough good things about Elite Real Estate Associates. Marco and his team made this experience seem effortless. He is honest and fair in his estimation of your home and because of that we sold within a week of listing. They are prompt in responding to any questions. Always friendly and especially respectful. Definitely went above and beyond. Use them and you will not be sorry!

Name: Adrienne Cwiak ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I would highly recommend Marco Clavijo ,his wife Jen Clavijo, and the whole Elite real estate team for any real estate needs. We were looking initially to buy or rent a condominium near the University of Miami law school for my daughter who will be attending in the fall. Marco came highly recommended and was mentioned on the University of Miami website. He was extremely patient and so knowledgeable on all the various areas surrounding Miami. We ended up purchasing a unit and he took an integral part in helping with the renovation and was always available to meet through the process when I needed anything. He and his team have gone way above and beyond what I would expect for an agency and additionally he has sent me so many referrals for anything I need. This agency is 5 star all the way and so much more . Again I would not hesitate to recommend to all my friends, colleagues ,and associates . Keep up the amazing work!!

Name: Rachael Weber ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jen & Marco made my transition to Florida easy and with a sense of urgency! This is my first time renting in Florida so you can imagine I was extremely anxious. They were communicative during the entire process, answered all of my questions, acknowledged any of my concerns. They were very professional and secured housing for me so that I can focus on attending school! The property is beautiful, and has everything that I could ever ask for! Appreciate you both! Thank you both 🙏❤️

Name: Kaylin Guzman ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
First I would like to say how absolutely amazing both Jem and Marcos are. Buying a house in itself is stress but working with them made it seem like a breeze. Their professionalism and attentiveness is unmatched and I would recommend the company 10 times over.

Name: Vanessa Padron ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have worked with Jem & Marco for years. This time around I wanted to buy my first condo. Despite the craziness that has been the 2021/2022 housing market, they worked tirelessly to make sure I got a good deal. They also used their knowledge of the industry to overcome some last minute hurdles that could have derailed the purchase transaction. If I had taken some of Marco’s suggestions, I might have saved even more before interest rates went up. At the end of the day, I continue to recommend Jem & Marco to any and everybody looking for a home in South Florida.

Name: Edward Ibeh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had been having issues finding any honest listings online until I was recommended to reach out to Marco on short notice. Moving cross-country was stressful but Marco responded quickly, spoke with my partner and I every day to stay on the same page, and he ensured we had a home to move into that was clean, affordable, and in a safe neighborhood. The stress was lifted and our move became so much easier for us, and we can’t recommend Elite Real Estate Associates enough!

Name: Joarlen Marcano ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
So happy that I was able to get my house rented out within a week! We had several offers, but with Marco’s diligence he was able to quickly research each applicant to make sure that the best tenants were chosen and moved in quickly. His responsiveness was very appreciated and shows the pride that he has in his work whether it be big or small.

Name: Amanda Kristen ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Elite was with us from the beginning. We waited almost two years for our unit. And there was many obstacles in the way toward the end. But Marco helped us understand these obstacles even though some were a first for him. He still saw the light at the end of the tunnel. If your thinking about buying any type of real estate choose Elite they will be with you till the end. God surely has this company blessed!

We worked with Marco and had a great experience! He is a very professional realtor with the ability to always find the perfect place. Marco has helped us find two places in Miami (both pre-covid and post-covid) and we could not have done it without him. He always accounted for our needs and had our best interest in mind. He is also very efficient; we had a tight deadline for our most recent move and he helped us find our new home with plenty of time to spare. If you need someone to help you find housing in the Miami area, do yourself a favor and choose Marco and team.

They made what we thought would be a stressful experience selling, a breeze! Marco, along with Jem, Natacha and the rest of the team were absolutely amazing! I got a phone call practically every day with updates, they took care of everything from A-Z, and we were able to list and close within less than a month! They were very professional, friendly and a pleasure to deal with. The quality and experience of the agents count for a lot, and I couldn’t recommend the Elite team enough!!

Name: Lizbeth Rivero Paredes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Me and my husband rented an apartment in Miami leaving in Brazil still. We were going to move in a few weeks, so we were very nervous and unsecured about renting long distance. That's were we met Marco by internet, very professional and when we got here, everything went very smoothly and he was going through all the documents with baby steps so we could understand. He happened to be also the manager of our apartment, so every time we had any issue on the apartment , he used to come at same time and resolved it. Then we got approved to finance a house, and at the same time, we called him, we trusted him so much we didn't want anyone else to help us.He found us the house of our dreams and with a lower price that we were expecting ! we got it ! we did everything with his team, the finance..insurance etc.. It was the best price and great deals =) , Then we had to do a renovation... we called Marco to manage our renovation. He had a list of people to help us..kitchen..floor..curtain .... For that we did some estimates out there.. and after a couple , we found that the people that he knew was the best price. We just finish remodeling the kitchen and the floor. Everything looks amazing! it was very fast, and he kept us updated every second! we highly recommend him.Very honest, clear to understand and have a lot of patience. On my attached pictures, you can see the kitchen in wood before and after (black top)the renovation managed by Marco.

Jem and Marco form Elite Real Estate Associates deserve more than 5 stars. Their professionalism, care for their clients, and attention to details is a breath of fresh air. Jem helped me see through my stubbornness towards a specific property, and landed a stellar deal for me. I couldn't be happier about the outcome. If you ever need a realtor to buy, sell, rent or manage a property, they are your guys. Wouldn't recommend anyone else. Thank you for all your help.

Name: Antonio Franco ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was recommended to Marco by a friend who bought a house a few years ago and loved his work ethic. Marco was amazing throughout the whole experience. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and honest about everything. Buying our first home felt effortless and not stressful at all. He treated the sale as if it was his own and tried to always help move things along during the closing. On top of that, he is very quick to respond to messages and answer calls. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.

Name: Jaylene Felipe ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Name: Daniel Rodriguez ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Service was outstanding! Truly professional and dedicated to fulfill the customer needs and preferences. Even when we had to do marathon house hunting due to time constraints. Thanks Jem for a wonderful experience for me and my wife.

Name: Francisco Mayorga ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The absolute best. We moved to south FL (a place we knew very little about) from NJ with 2 small children during a pandemic. Suffice it to say, finding a home for a family of 4 was a process we anticipated would be extremely stressful. It turns out our worries were for naught as we enlisted Marco to help us with our home buying journey. He managed to translate our jumble of requirements along with our budget into the perfect home for our family very quickly. We were seamlessly navigated through the homebuying process (which had some pretty significant differences compared to the state we came from), were referred to an incredible list of providers (whom we still use), and most importantly, got us a price that was fair and closest to our home's actual value. We would not hesitate to recommend Marco and his team wholeheartedly for all your home purchasing needs.

Name: Cara Catlaw ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jem and Marco were wonderful helping me find the perfect first home! They listened to my requirements and only showed me suitable properties making my decision so easy! Easy to contact and always available when I needed them. I would highly recommend them

Name: Sydney Scott ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Marco was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive. I am coming from out of state to attend law school and I needed to find housing in my budget near the University of Miami. I had no luck trying to find a rental on my own, but once Marco stepped in the process was quick and easy. Marco provided us with numerous options that met our budget and other must-haves. Marco explained every step of the process and helped us understand the complicated market. In the end, Marco secured us a rental that met all of our wishlist items and we are very happy with the price given the current housing market. We couldn’t have done this without Marco! I would recommend Elite Real Estate Associates to anyone looking for housing in Miami, and especially out of state students going to UM.

Name: Lindsey Graham ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jem, was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She took the time to be thorough and made me feel comfortable by keeping me updated every step of the process. I recommend Jem Clavijo for all your real estate transactions and will continue to work with her moving forward. Thank you for everything JEM <<:)

Name: Donoso Academy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Marco was an immense help for me finding a great deal for a home on a short notice during a booming market!

My landlord decided to increase the rent about a month before my lease ended and I immediately began looking to purchase a home. Marco was able to help me locate an apartment, put together a competitive offer, and close - all in less than 2 months!

Marco has some great connections and real estate knowledge of the Miami area as well. Through a mortgage lender he works with, we were able to identify which condo buildings would qualify for my specific loan. Further, I had an amazing experience with his lawyer for closing.

5 out of 5 starts, I will be using Marco again!

Name: Sam Zacks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Marco and the entire Elite Real Estate Associates team have been fantastic in helping my roommate and I find a great rental property. Being from out of state, Marco and the team would answer any questions we had and address any concerns right away. They truly went above and beyond helping us find the perfect spot!

Name: Andrew Lucas ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I've worked with the Elite Real Estate Associates team for several years - I personally recommend them! Over the years, the team did a great job finding us qualified tenants for our rental unit in Kendall. Every time, they made the entire process seamless and convenient for us. After having developed a great relationship with this team as a Landlord, we decided to trust them with the sale of this same unit in 2019. I feel that the back office support team does an excellent job making the customer facing team shine with the clients - NICE WORK!

Name: Marcos Salas ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
Marco was amazing! He helped us navigate the home buying process with ease and made sure that we got everything we wanted. He used his expert knowledge to help us come up with a competitive offer that didn't break our budget. He was truly our advocate when it came to making the biggest purchase we'll ever make. Thank you! 🙂🙂🙂

Name: Xochtle Mcknight ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was referred to Jem by a very close friend of mine. He told me to try her out that Jem is a very hard working woman. It all started with the first phone call. I was very impressed to just hear all her experience she has. Jem made me feel comfortable from the start. She first gets a feel for what you want. From there she takes off in looking in every corner for the dream house you want. It took me a year and a couple a months to find the home I'm in now. I almost gave up and Jem was always there to make sure I buy my house. I have never met a person in the real estate industry that will go above and beyond for your needs. I always recommend her to everyone that is looking for a property. One more thing always with a smile.

Thank you Jem for all your help and expertise in helping my family and I buy our Home sweet Home......

Name: Tony Gomez ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I highly recommend Elite Real Estate Associates for your real estate needs. I can’t thank you enough.

Name: Niurka Reyes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Elite Real Estate Associates. I was based in North Florida at the time and only had the opportunity to apartment-hunt in Miami two days before making a final decision. Jem and Marco helped me to gather a long list of places to see during my desired time frame. Marco spent a full day and a half showing me around until I found a unit that I truly could consider a potential home. He even recommended a few places that I had not previously considered- I ended up loving the area and got my first choice apartment there. Jem was excellent at communicating with me all details related to the lease and becoming a tenant. Marco and Jem both went out of their way to ensure that I found a place that fulfilled 100% of my requirements. I am now settled in my new home and couldn't be happier! I would confidently recommend Elite Real Estate Associates to anyone looking for a professional, thorough, and friendly team!
