From the lot to the closing table.
Most brokers meet a project once it is finished. We have been on Coconut Grove projects from the beginning — sourcing the site, staying with it through the build, and bringing the completed residence to market. Twice on record, raw land through to closing.
Four stages, one team.
A project changes hands several times between the lot and the closing — land broker, architect, GC, then a listing agent who arrives at the end and has to be taught the building from scratch. Every handoff costs time, and the last one costs the most, because it happens exactly when carrying costs start to bite.
-
01
Site acquisition
Finding the lot and underwriting what it will actually carry — zoning, setbacks, elevation, and the realistic resale ceiling for the block.
-
02
Through the build
On site during construction, where finish and schedule decisions quietly determine the number the finished house can support.
-
03
Positioning
Naming, pricing against real Grove and Gables comparables, and a private first-look list built before the project is publicly marketed.
-
04
The sale
To market through the Riley Smith Group and the wider Compass network — with the contract side handled by a former real estate attorney.
On record in Coconut Grove. 30 Samana Drive — represented the buyer at land acquisition, then again on the completed new-construction residence at $7,525,000. 1701 Micanopy Avenue — site acquired at $2,975,000, now on the market at $8,900,000 as finished new construction, built by Urbane Capital with Billskog Construction.
Where a project actually needs us.
01
Sourcing the next site
Finding lots before they are widely shopped, and underwriting them the way a builder does — what the zoning allows, what the elevation and flood zone mean for cost and insurability, what the block's ceiling really is, and whether the spread survives a soft quarter.
02
Positioning & launch
A name and a story the market can repeat, pricing against real comparables rather than aspiration, content that holds up to an $8M buyer's scrutiny, and a private first-look list assembled before the project is public — so launch day opens with demand already in the room.
03
Carrying it to close
Buyer-side objections on an unfinished house, appraisal problems, lender draw schedules, lien waivers, and certificate-of-occupancy timing. The contract side is handled by a former real estate attorney, which matters most when a deal starts to wobble.
One who reads the build. One who reads the contract.
Victor Billskoog came up inside Miami's luxury residential trade — design, fabrication, and installation of high-end kitchens, closets, and custom interiors through his family's business, Scandinavian Design House. He can walk your job site and talk to your superintendent without a translator, and he knows what a detail costs before he asks for it.
Tayreen Nelson practiced law for two decades before real estate — probate, title, and transactional work — and is a founding member of Law Grads of Compass. On a spec sale, she is the one reading the contract your buyer's attorney sends back, coordinating with title and survey, and keeping a closing on its date. She works alongside your counsel and does not provide legal advice.
Between the two, a project does not have to be re-explained to anyone, and the contract does not sit waiting on someone who has never read one like it.
