Lance Roylo: Your Miami Luxury Real Estate Specialist
I'm Lance Roylo with Mitchell Premier Properties, and I've spent the last eight years helping clients navigate Miami's luxury real estate market. This city's waterfront properties, high-rise condos, and single-family estates require someone who understands both the lifestyle and the investment side of luxury real estate.
Local Track Record
Over my years working in Miami, I've guided buyers and sellers through transactions averaging $875,000, from Brickell penthouses to Coral Gables estates. I currently have a listing in the area and stay closely connected to what's happening across Miami's luxury neighborhoods. My approach is straightforward: I help people buy the homes of their dreams by focusing on what matters most to them, whether that's waterfront access, school districts, or investment potential.
Current Listings in Miami
For Buyers
When you're buying luxury real estate in Miami, you need to think beyond the property itself. Consider flood zones if you're looking at waterfront, understand condo association financials for high-rises, and factor in insurance costs that have changed significantly in recent years. I walk my buyers through these practical considerations before we even start touring properties, so you can make decisions based on complete information rather than just the view from the balcony.
For Sellers
Selling a luxury property in Miami means positioning it correctly from day one. I work with sellers to understand current buyer priorities, which right now include hurricane protection features, updated systems, and realistic pricing based on actual comparable sales rather than aspirational numbers. The luxury market here moves differently than it did a few years ago, and I price properties based on where the market is today, not where we wish it was.
Common questions about Miami
What should I know about Miami's luxury condo market right now?
The luxury condo market in Miami has more inventory than it did two years ago, which means buyers have more negotiating power than they've had in a while. I'm seeing sellers who price realistically and offer strong disclosures get offers, while overpriced units sit. If you're buying, this is a good time to be selective and thorough with your due diligence on building financials and upcoming assessments.
How do insurance costs affect luxury home values in Miami?
Insurance is now a major factor in Miami real estate decisions, especially for waterfront and older properties. I advise my clients to get insurance quotes before making offers, because monthly costs can significantly affect your actual budget. For sellers, having documentation of roof age, hurricane shutters, and recent updates can help buyers get better insurance rates, which makes your property more attractive.
Which Miami neighborhoods offer the best value for luxury buyers?
Value in luxury real estate depends entirely on what you prioritize, but I often guide clients toward Coral Gables for families wanting space and good schools, or emerging areas in Edgewater and the Design District for buyers who want newer construction with urban amenities. Brickell and South Beach command premium prices for their locations, so you're paying for the address as much as the property. I help buyers think through lifestyle fit alongside price per square foot.
