Services · Relocation
Relocate to Miami, with locals in your corner.
Shortlists built around schools, commute and lifestyle, and video viewings before you fly in.
Relocation with Meridian Estates
How it works
Moving from New York, Latin America or Europe? We build a shortlist around schools, commute and lifestyle and handle viewings by video before you fly in.
Moving to Miami from New York, Chicago, Latin America or Europe is exciting, and a lot to organise from afar. Our relocation advisors start with a call about schools, commute, lifestyle and budget, then build a shortlist of neighborhoods and homes that fit, with honest notes on flood zones, insurance and traffic.
We run live video viewings before you travel, plan an efficient area tour for when you arrive, and introduce you to movers, schools, lenders and insurance brokers we trust. Whether you buy or rent, relocation support is included at no extra cost, because our fee is paid by the seller or landlord in most transactions.

Isabela Moreno
Founding Partner & Principal Broker
Isabela founded the firm in 2008 after a decade in private banking. She represents many of our waterfront sellers and still personally negotiates every offer above $5 million.
“Relocating from Chicago with three kids felt overwhelming. Meridian built a shortlist around school zones and commute times, and we found our home on the first trip.”
Which neighborhoods are best for families?
Pinecrest has some of the most sought-after public schools in Miami-Dade and large lots; Coral Gables offers top-rated public and private schools; Key Biscayne has an A-rated K–8 school on the island. We match the area to your schools and commute.
Can we see homes before we arrive?
Yes. An advisor gives you live video tours by FaceTime, WhatsApp or Zoom, and every listing has a 3D virtual tour.
Do you help with schools?
Yes. We explain public school zones for every home we show you and introduce you to private schools, whose admissions calendars often start a year ahead.
Does relocation support cost extra?
No, it is included when you buy or rent through us. A standalone half-day area consultation is $450, credited back if you buy or rent with us within 12 months.
