MIAMI VIP LIVING
Frequently Asked Questions
About the Service
Yes — 100% free. Our fee is covered by the building, never by you. You get a licensed Miami rental expert, tours, and help with your application at no cost to you.
Miami VIP Living is a Miami rental locator service run by Gerardo "Jerry" Barrios, a Florida Licensed Real Estate Sales Associate. It is a service of Axen Realty, LLC. We specialize in rental homes — many of them not listed on the MLS.
It means the home is not advertised on the MLS or the big listing sites. Buildings and owners offer these rentals through locators like us, so you see homes here that you won't find on Zillow or Apartments.com.
Many buildings choose not to list their rentals on the MLS. We work directly with those buildings, which is how we can show you rentals other agents never see.
Our focus areas are Downtown Miami, Brickell, Edgewater, Wynwood, Midtown Miami, and the Miami Design District — and we serve all of Miami-Dade County.
Yes. The homes on this site are updated hourly, and we check availability with the building before your tour whenever possible. If a home you like is gone, we'll find you the closest match.
Yes. This website is available in English and Spanish (use the EN/ES switch at the top), and you can call, text, or WhatsApp us in either language.
Tours & Applying
Tap "Book a Tour" on any home, pick the day and time that work for you, and send the request. We confirm your tour by email, text, or phone. You can also call or text us at 786-318-7422.
No. Tours are free, like everything else we do for renters.
Yes — most clients tour two or three homes before deciding. Tell us which ones you like and we'll line them up.
- Search the site or tell us what you're looking for.
- Book a tour and see the home in person.
- Apply — we walk you through the building's application.
- Once approved, sign your lease with the building and move in.
Each building sets its own requirements. Most ask for a photo ID, proof of income, and a background/credit screening. We'll tell you exactly what the building needs before you apply, so there are no surprises.
It depends on the building — many answer within a few hours. We follow up on your application and keep you posted.
No — we don't. The building (or its screening service) runs the screening as part of its own application, with your permission.
Yes. We work with relocating renters all the time — we can narrow down areas, tour on a tight schedule when you're in town, and handle most of the process by phone and email.
Costs & Specials
The building pays us after you sign your lease. You never pay Miami VIP Living anything.
Some buildings offer specials — for example, two or more months free on select homes. The special depends on the building and the lease, and it changes often, so ask us about the home you're looking at.
Deposits are set by each building and vary by home and application. We'll confirm the exact deposit and move-in costs with the building before you apply.
Prices shown are the buildings' current asking rents and can change. Before you apply, we confirm the current rent and any specials directly with the building.
Your Account
A free account lets you save favorite homes, save your searches, and get an email whenever a new home matches what you're looking for.
Run a search the way you want it and tap "Save Search." Every day, the site checks for new homes that match and emails you the matches. You can delete a saved search anytime.
When you tap the heart on a home, we also save a matching search for you — so you'll get emails with new homes like the one you liked. You'll find them under Saved Searches, and you can remove them whenever you want.
Delete the saved search in your account, or ask us and we'll remove it for you.
Living Here
Many do, each with its own rules on size, breed, and pet deposits. Check the home's page or ask us — we'll confirm the policy for the home you like before you apply.
It varies by building — some include a space, others charge monthly. The home's page shows what's offered, and we can confirm the details.
Some buildings offer furnished options. Tell us your dates and area, and we'll show you what's available.
Most homes are 12-month leases, and some buildings offer shorter or longer terms. Ask us about the home you're interested in.
Many homes are available now, and others have a future move-in date shown on the listing. Tell us your date and we'll match homes to it.
