About RICK & INES - Miami Real Estate experts

Enrique Garcia (Rick) and Ines Hegedus-Garcia - THE RICK & INES TEAM

We are a husband-and wife Realtor Team and live, work and play in Miami Shores.  We consider Miami Shores our stomping ground, our main market, our safety net.

Miami is very large and we sell properties from Fisher Island all the way to Aventura.  Although our main markets in Miami-Dade County are Miami Shores, Bay Harbor Islands and Surfside, we are flexible and go beyond those limits.

Some other cities within Miami Dade-County that we cover include: 

Ines is an architect with a Bachelor's degree in Architecture from the University of Miami.  Her passion is luxury, historic and waterfront single-family homes as well as condos and offers architectural consulting services at no additional cost to their real estate clients.

Rick's solid business acumen stems from a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of Central Florida and a Master's in Accounting from Nova Southeastern University, along with years of financial experience.  His forte is to dissect numbers for commercial real estate deals. 

Together, we have successfully operated a commercial property management company since 1994.

When it comes to blogging, it's all INES, although Rick often contributes ideas and may occasionally throw in his 2 cents.

We are known for our honesty and integrity.  We don't sugar coat reality and we always tell it like it is.  This is our strength and our weakness - since a lot of people don't want to hear the truth.

As husband and wife a lot of people ask us "how can you work together?" - the reality is that we work great together, we don't step on each other's toes, we each have our areas of expertise and do occasionally slap each other around (not really....just seeing who's paying attention).

Our Miamism.com blog gives you local information about Miami from places to visit, restaurants, local events.  We also write Miami Real Estate Stories that can give you inside information about the industry that you can't get elsewhere.

Don't miss MIAMISM FRIDAYS where photos are posted every Friday that show what makes Miami special, why people gravitate to Miami and why it is such an amazing place.  We encourage visitor participation, so if you have a photo of a "Miamism" please send it in, we would love to feature it.

Rick and Ines' Miami Real Estate Expertise

Ines' passion is good architecture.  Walking into a good space gives her chills and her excitement is beyond words.   She can dissect a building in seconds and can point pros and cons of a particular building without holding back.  Clients love to share Ines' enthusiasm when they find a property that works for them.  She will see the potential in everything and will help visualize a space with drawings she creates on the spot. 

Ines' historic architecture articles are educating and entertaining and she is willing to answer questions about historic materials and elements.  From Mediterranean Revival Architecture to Art Deco, including finishes and details.

Rick's passion is numbers.  Because of his commercial property management experience and his financial background, Rick will dissect financial statements in seconds and will determine which properties are good investments and which will give the most return.  Their foreign customers love the ease in which he handles their business and keeps them informed at all times. 

They produce monthly in-depth Real Estate Marketing Reports on the areas they work that provide information not easily found anywhere else.  With easy to read graphs and charts and Miami real estate market trends.

Our mission with this blog

Our goal with this blog is challenging -  To open a channel of communication where we can have honest discussions with our customers about market conditions, about the ways we deal with daily issues in Real Estate and about our daily life in general.  Although we are Realtors and we do sell properties, we want our customers to trust us and to know that we represent their best interest.  We have established a great reputation and hope to convey that message to our readers. 

We encourage dialog even if it contradicts our beliefs, it is only through conversation and discussion that we become better Realtors.

Miami Real Estate Testimonials

 "With Rick and Ines you get two great Realtors with different perspectives and expertise for the price of one.  It is good to know that you are working with true professionals, who are honest and have your best in mind, ALWAYS! Rick and Ines have been wonderful, they are patient, understanding, never wavering and questions are always answered with details and expedience. Their service is always above and beyond what one can and should expect. Selling and buying was truly a safe and comfortable experience with their guiding hand".

S. Rytteke

"Working with you is a pleasure.  Your never ending patience and eye for detail set you apart from experiences I have had with other agents with other companies.  I feel safe in saying that if any of my friends need real estate related services, you will be highly recommended by me.  Miami can be a difficult city to navigate and you make it seem effortless, this counts for a lot in my final opinion of a person.  Each city has its own little set of rules and you always seem to be current with each and every one of them.  That to me is a very strong indicator of a true professional.  It has been wonderful working with you and even more rewarding making a new friend".

T. Rockwell


"I couldn't be more pleased with the professional and courteous service that you provided to us.  Communication was excellent!  We felt confident that you were looking after our interests in the sale of our property.  Many Thanks!"

L. Sanders


"I wanted to personally thank you for everything you did to make the sale of our property go smoothly.  You did a great job.  It was a pleasure meeting you and we really appreciated all you did.  If you are ever in the Atlanta area, please feel free to look us up, I will be ready to make you some Jamaican food".



B. Brown

"I have been involved in several real estate deals over the past few years and therein have dealt with many real estate agents.  Without question my best experience was with Rick & Ines Garcia.  They standout from your typical real estate agent(s).  Rick is a mortgage broker and accountant so he understood and explained the financial aspect of our deal.  Ines is an architect and she helped visualize possible changes that matched our design taste.  Furthermore, they did not view us (my wife and I) as clients - they thought of us as their friends.  Rick & Ines went out of their way to get to know us better so they could truly understand what we were looking for within our budgetary constraints".



David Block


"Thank you for everything, and honestly in the entire transaction you were the only professional person.  Please accept our deepest thanks for your help and for the basket as well" .

Rick and Ines,

On behalf of the Miami Shores Recreation Department, I would like to thank you for your support.  Your sponsorship allows our youth an opportunity to play sports and be rewarded for their participation at the end of the season.

It is because of the additional financial support from you that we are able to promote each sport throughout the community.

You are making a difference in the lives of our youth and are considered our WINNER!

We Need To Find More Customers Like Ines Hegedus-Garcia To Listen To In 2008:

Ines is a wildly successful REALTOR and blogger in the Miami area. We did some property videos for her around mid-year. Little did I realize how she would get us to think completely differently about the real estate business. Her standards for a successful video were incredibly high and often laid out in excruciating detail. My notes from our conversations are still a veritable treasure trove of REALTOR expectations for property video production.

It would have been oh so easy to just nod and agree, and then go off and continue doing what we were doing. But we didn't. We listened (even to the hard messages) and our business is so much better for it. I still find myself occasionally thinking about what Ines might have to say while reviewing an edited real estate video.

From use of widgets to why she loves/hates certain on-line products to what details should and should not be highlighted in a property video, Ines made a world of difference for us. We incorporated a bunch of technical and business process items as a result of our time spent with Ines. About half of our work items for 2008 are derived from things that Ines said that we need to make easier in order to expand our business.

"Rick & Ines have successfully managed Moremart, Inc., a professional building with seventeen commercial tenants, for the last 4 years. 
Rick and Ines have proven to be an excellent professional team offering a variety of services.  They have  completely automated the company resulting in a more effective and efficient system to conduct business, benefiting not only the owners of the building, but the tenants as well.
Moremart, Inc. is successful today due to the efficient managing team of Rick & Ines.  Moremart's turn over rate has dramatically decreased and the quality of tenants has increased.  We would certainly recommend them for any future contract involving property management".


Matilde Almazan / Vice-President of Moremart, Inc.

 

Rick and Ines have managed our professional building since 1994.  Being an absentee owner it is great having a team with such professionalism and knowledge where I do not have to worry if issues are being resolved.  From day to day maintenance issues, to tenant relations and even tax compliance, Rick and Ines have me covered.  

Their architectural background helps to make sure the building's aesthetics as well as building systems are always at its best.   With their accounting expertise they produce easy to read and analyze reports to keep me informed at all times of the financial position of the building.  I would not hesitate to recommend them.
