How Do You Successfully Sell and Buy a Home in South Miami at the Same Time?

Navigating a simultaneous sale and purchase in South Miami can feel like a high-wire act. But with the right guidance, market knowledge, and timing, it can lead you exactly where you’re meant to be. That’s the story of our recent sale at 7045 SW 67th Ave #40 a beautifully updated South Miami townhome sold by one of our own top-producing agents, Rebeca Cruz of the Riley Smith Group.

This sale wasn’t just a transaction. It was a real-time example of how to strategically sell a home in a competitive market while securing your next dream home and doing it all with professionalism and heart.

The Vision Behind the Sale

Rebeca and her husband weren’t planning to sell. Their home was not only beautiful but filled with personal touches and memories. But when they stumbled upon a property that instantly felt like “home,” they knew they had a big decision to make.

Like many South Miami buyers, their ability to purchase hinged on selling their current home first. Rather than rush in with a contingent offer, they took a strategic pause. Rebeca knew the market well and understood that success meant letting the market speak first.

Preparing the Property for a Competitive Market

As an experienced Realtor and advisor, Rebeca approached her own sale with the same care she gives her clients. The property at 7045 SW 67th Ave #40 was in pristine condition, and its layout, location, and finishes made it especially attractive for today’s buyer.

Still, preparation was key. She ensured the home was decluttered, staged, and professionally photographed. From lighting to layout flow, every detail was considered. Rebeca’s insight into what South Miami buyers prioritize—natural light, updated finishes, and functional space—helped the home stand out.

Our Marketing Strategy

At Riley Smith Group, every listing benefits from a proven, data-backed marketing strategy. Rebeca leveraged:

• High-quality photography and videography to showcase the home online
• Compass Coming Soon to build early momentum
• Targeted digital and social media campaigns
• Email outreach to qualified buyers and agents

The result? A flood of interest within days. With a curated marketing push that reached both local and out-of-town buyers, the home had strong activity from the start.

Finding the Right Buyer

Within three weeks, the listing received a strong cash offer.

For Rebeca and her husband, the offer wasn’t exactly the number they had initially hoped for—a moment many sellers face. But after evaluating the current market and weighing their options, they realized it was a solid opportunity that would allow them to move forward with their purchase.

As Rebeca shared, “My husband struggled at first to accept the offer because he had a number in his mind. I had to have a tough conversation and say, ‘The market speaks, and we have to listen.'”

With the cash offer accepted, they moved swiftly to make an offer on the home they loved. The property happened to be listed by a Compass agent as well, and after a collaborative negotiation process, they were under contract.

The Results

This sale was more than just a win on paper. It was a testament to the value of working with an experienced South Miami real estate agent who understands how to:

• Time the market effectively
• Present a home to maximize buyer interest
• Negotiate with clarity and confidence

The sale closed smoothly, setting the stage for a successful purchase on the other side. Rebeca and her husband are now settling into a new chapter in a home that fits their vision perfectly.
