Miami is one of the world's premier destinations for international buyers and investors looking to diversify abroad. At Horlux & Emuna we guide you with judgement, access to new developments and branded residences, and end-to-end support from both Madrid and Miami.
Why Miami
Miami has established itself as one of the great international residential markets: dynamic, dollar-denominated, with sustained global demand and an unmatched lifestyle. A large Spanish-speaking community makes the move far easier for European and Latin American buyers. For many, it is the natural way to gain a foothold abroad.
What you will find for sale
Miami's prime product is concentrated in new developments and branded residences —hotel-serviced condominiums— as well as penthouses and waterfront homes in areas such as Brickell, Downtown, Edgewater and Wynwood. It is a market where early access to the best developments makes the difference, and where Horlux & Emuna works with selected projects.
Diversifying abroad
Geographically diversifying a real estate portfolio is an increasingly common decision for those seeking to reduce their exposure to a single market. Miami offers that diversification within a consolidated environment. At Horlux & Emuna we guide you through the entire process —selection, negotiation and purchase— alongside specialist tax and legal advisors, so every decision is made with full information.
Why Horlux & Emuna
Horlux & Emuna is a boutique firm, not a traditional agency: selective, discreet and well connected, with a presence in Madrid and Miami and access to new developments and opportunities that do not always reach the wider public. We accompany the buyer with the same closeness and discretion in Miami as in Madrid.
Frequently asked questions
Why Miami for a European buyer?
For currency and market diversification, for a tax framework different from the Spanish one, and for sustained rental demand. It is a wealth decision as much as a residential one, and that is how we approach it.
Which areas of Miami do you work in?
We focus on areas with established international demand: Brickell, Downtown, Edgewater, Miami Beach and Sunny Isles, along with branded projects under development. We do not work speculative product with no underlying case.
How does buying off plan in Miami work?
The usual structure is staged payments through construction, with a percentage on reservation and successive milestones up to delivery. Percentages and timings vary by development, so we give them to you in writing and per project, never from memory.
Do I need to be in the United States to buy?
Not necessarily. Much of the process can be handled remotely, although some steps are better resolved with local advice on tax and ownership structure. We introduce you to the right professionals.
Does Horlux & Emuna represent the developers or the buyer?
We work with direct access to Miami developers, which lets us offer real terms and availability. Even so, our judgement when recommending remains the buyer's: we will also tell you what does not convince us about a project.
